someday hopefully volume 2 joins mal too
| @deg Star Wars: Visions Vol 2 features shorts from animation studios based in India, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Chile, France, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States. Do you really think MAL will add Vol 2 ? None of those shorts can be classified as anime. |

@ZXEAN the original meaning of anime is animation thats it so any animation globally is called anime in japan
mal just have different meaning and rules just because they want to reduce their workload

| Good studio picks, intriguing titles. I'm positive. I enjoyed the previous parts (volumes) of Star Wars: Visions, so I'm excited for the third one as well. |
| I love how MAL has a weird ethno-purist fringe that starts scolding people the minute they suggest a title for the database.. |

@EcchiGodMamster nah japans anime ranking puts hollywood animation as anime too
ye im sure a lot of japanese knows how western fans uses the word anime but they still gonna use the original meaning in their fandom

deg said: ye im sure a lot of japanese knows how western fans uses the word anime but they still gonna use the original meaning in their fandom Yea, so its fine the way it is...I mean... NO ONE is on this site for "western" animation, so I don't think it matters how the term is used in Japan lol And come on man, China and Korea have cultures "close enough" to Japan that i don't think many people have a problem calling their work that looks the style, "anime" |
|
| Well, as long as 3 is closer in quality to 1 than 2, it should be fine. And The Ninth Jedi was the best episode for me so I'm actually interested in seeing what thay make out of it. |

@EcchiGodMamster its just my personal wish considering to me anime is simply animation like in japan
but im not forcing this change i just happen to say it here considering volume 2 is missing which triggers my ocd tendencies

deg said: considering volume 2 is missing which triggers my ocd tendencies LMAO bruh come on man.... if its not what falls into what MOST of the world knows as anime, then thats nothing more than a personal issue 😂😂😂😂 |

| omg just pull the plug on starwars no one cares about this shit also there are people in this thread that seriously with a straight face say Japanese the most culturally conservative people ever don't seperate western animation. This just reads like retards who are sad that western animation got killed in the past decade and are now begrudgingly watching anime and hoping anime becomes more like western animation to appeal to their sensibilities. |

@ZXEAN yes just because the original meaning use by japan said so heck mal already adds chinese and korean anime anyway
| @deg Pal, you already have IMDB for that...whats the point of morphing this years long database into just another IMDB? |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Anime and Star Wars come together, this should be interesting. |

| The Japanese Star Wars fanbase seems so much more chill than the American fanbase. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

| @malvarez1 We have YouTube to thank for that. So many youtube grifters pumped so much propaganda about 'woke disney' into everyone's heads that a lot of people hate Star Wars now who haven't even seen any of it (it must be bad cuz this cool sounding bro on YT says so). But of course the same grifters also hate the prequels... it's all a bunch of BS. |
