are we expanding Mals definition of anime now? or is there some reason for it. (im not complain just wondering why this is accepted as anime while some others are not.)

Probably becomes it has a japanese dub, besides they already allow manhua and manhwa.
With the rise of their animation I guess they're allowing all east asia animation on mal now.

so as long as its a western animation its not allowed on mal?

The following entries are allowed in the anime database:
    Professionally produced, animated works created:
    • in Japan for the Japanese market;
    • in Korea/China for the Korean/Chinese market;
    • as a joint production between Japan/Korea/China and another country.
      Note: This does not include productions where only the animation is outsourced.


/Anime DB Guidelines

So yes Korean and Chinese works are allowed but American ones are not
