The source of the original material is not taken into account, tho. What matters is the staff of the production of the adaptation.

MAL's reasoning is that even if a lot of the staff were Japanese, the leadership of the creative team was limited to O'Malley, thus it's considered as an outsource of Animation.

It already was discussed a lot, and MAL doesn't seems to want to change their reasoning and rules.

maybe it has something to do with the target audience.
cyberpunk and suicide squad are targeted more towards anime fans while scott pilgrim was targeted towards scott pilgrim fans and western animation fans.

I think a big difference is that Scott Pilgrim was written and recorded in English, then dubbed into Japanese. Suicide Squad is in Japanese and will be dubbed into English.

It's because janitor at Science Saru is not Japanese, therefore we cannot call it an anime. πŸ˜”

Why is Rick & Morty The Anime not on MAL? The show literally has a Japanese director.

I don't see why it matters lol. Imagine getting stressed over whether a show is on a website or not.

the reasoning can't get any more obvious. because it's an anime, and the fans would like to add it to their favourites.

really makes one think how many works of art are we missing out because of arrogant mods or limited options from the general internet
