Can you add My Daemon anime? Even though it’s produced by a Thai based company the language is in Japanese which makes it eligible to be on MAL. Thank you. It released on Netflix.

You could always submit it yourself. Whether or not it'll be accepted or not, is up to the DB mods (as far as I can tell, it seems to be a joint project between Thailand and Japan, so it should qualify, but I wasn't a DB mod, so don't quote me on that).
Summertime days, passing gently
Sunlight, leading to an encounter;
Dreams that don't want to end
Continue onwards toward the next day
While she waits in the air.

It's a subtitled animation by a Japanese author with Japanese as the original audio by professional Japanese voice actors. What more do they need?

Can we have an explanation why My Daemons don't have anime list? Should anime must be made by location which is Japan?
I'm not sure why, but I really hate MAL because of this. My Daemons storytelling really awesome, it has good storyline like motivation, needs, objective, goal, and feeling that are beautifully crafted.
I'm not sure who is the admin here, or some corporate that prevent My Daemons to be in MAL.

For the love of God, I ended up in the discussion on this forum because I finished watching My Daemon on Netflix and it was an incredible work, I didn't give even 1 dollar thinking that it was going to try to be a bad copy of Pokémon but more realistic, and Although it does not even come close to being a masterpiece, it tells a great story of personal development in a child's journey of wanting to change the world, and that in the end that becomes a pact with the final villain, pardon my redundancy, I mean. Please, it only has collaboration from Thailand but it has everything Japanese..... I like to use this site a lot because I use it for exactly the title of the website, which is my anime list, to be able to give them my rating and sometimes if I want a small review or comment, and my daemon is 200% worth it being on this site, since there are animes and mangas that are worthless and are, why not this one? For the love of God, administrators, don't be so greedy and let my daemon be on this website, it deserves it 800%

@JShepp Shocking news, anime database has only anime added, for tracking non-anime you'll have to a non-anime database, like IMDb.

@abystoma2
AniDB has the series because they allow Thai animation (though interestingly they have it tagged as a Japanese production): https://anidb.net/anime/18285
Also:
ANN: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=26385
aniSearch: https://www.anisearch.com/anime/18789,my-daemon
Kitsu: https://kitsu.io/anime/my-daemon
MAL may possibly expand to other countries in the future too. I'm aware Kitsu lists things based subjective metrics like style which I don't care for, but it is not inappropriate to ask work which many other competitors allow.

I mean, some of the chinese stuff in here has as much to do with anime, as any western cartoon.
So they might as well allow Thai animation, that has at least some Japanese involvment.
Minor stuff, like THE writer, or voice actors.

The completely arbitrary rule seems to be: Chinese; yes, Korean;Yes, Malaysian;yes, Thai; No. I think they made up to rule some time after putting stuff on their list and tried to be "consistent" as they already had stiff from some other countries in. If they want to restrict themselves to Japanese productions they should do so, and either eliminate or grandfather stuff from other countries.

I find Mal's definition of "anime" rather silly. Still stuff I like about the site

@old_geezer Malaysian is also no.

And iirc the "loophole" with Chinese and Korea is that at some point both of those countries were under Japanese control.

Signed up to join this interesting debate, as my request to add this on Anime-Planet also got rejected.

I am watching this show also. I get the argument for omitting it from Anime websites, while it is a Thai/Japanese joint production, looking at the credits it is largely Thai so I can see it being debatable and not added.
But what bugs me, is if we go by the definition of how Japanese a production is, why are we including Chinese and Korean productions which have no Japanese involvement whatsoever? This is not exclusive to MAL, and I've seen other anime trackers and databases follow suit, like AniDB and Anime-Planet. These used to be pure anime websites but when did Chinese and Korean animations become anime? I saw somebody mention about it could be due to these territories were at one point under Japanese control, but isn't that foregone history and no longer the case when judging modern day content? Seems like a very frivolous detail to look at when deciding eligibility, as others have pointed out it feels like arbitrarily moving the goal post. If Japanese rule and influence is the reason, America also occupied Japan, so with that same logic you could you argue that American animation is also anime or that Japanese anime is actually American??? Afterall, the God of Manga and Anime himself, Osamu Tezuka was heavily influenced by Disney, Fleischer Bros and American media.

I do find this debate fascinating and I'm genuinely interested in why the eligibility of what qualifies as anime seems to have changed over the past few years across many veteran and revered websites, and started to include animations from other countries other than Japan?

@abystoma2 Well, let's forget about all the quality of my daemon, let's pretend that it doesn't exist, but it is a series made jointly by Japan and Thailand, and it has very little about "Thais", it has all the nuances of a conventional anime, and it is a It's not very elitist to leave it out just because "it's not 100% Japanese" when it's a product made jointly (and largely) by Japan, apart from, as you say, it's an anime database, and just like it happens with music, There are genres that can be mixed, like rock and pop for example, why can't anime be mixed with another style of animation, or another nation? I say if this were not feasible and we were all elitist, there would be no avatar of the legend of Ang, a piece of masterpiece, which I also think, although it was not made in Japan, Ang's style is called amerimanga, and although there been created in the United States, half of its origin is basically the Japanese anime drawing style, call it whatever you want to call it, excuse yourself however you want to excuse yourself, from my point of view both my daemon should be in this database and avatar the legend of ang too.

@Pegasus363 If it's predominantly or even equally as Japanese production, it passes the MAL rules and should get added. But remember, it's *production*, not just oursourced animation.

"Anime" isn't about how it looks. Avatar is pure american animation and absolutely does not belong here.

As a rule of thumb, if you're using the same arguments that people use for saying Avatar should be added, it's most likely not going to be added.

Indeed. I suspect that the first not-totally Japanese anime, as long as they were "eastern" were just accepted without much thought. Then when it became clear that this could explode an attempt was made to write some rules that justified the earlier choices. This lead to a rather silly set of rules.
