Why this anime didn't get approved yet ?

Fr but I feel like ninja kamui is definitely gonna be approved it’s fucking peak bro . But the real issue is that mal don’t include American animation like for example The Legend of Vox Machina , blood of Zeus and arcane .I can go one there so much with this animation style that mal ignores or sum .

An animation done by Japanese studio is not anime?

Why is this not approved yet?

@smokinhaze It'll probably be approved. Although, I can't see anything mention it getting a JP release. Just Adult Swim's Toonami & HBO's Max, which are both based in the US. So I'm beginning to have doubts. If it's just the animation and that's it, it might fall under "cartoon" much like how various Korean animation would.



It's understandable that those aren't here, they shouldn't be. Realistically, it should only be Japanese Animation here, since it is called MyAnimeList but unfortunately, they also include various other Eastern Animations.

Here's how to refer to Anime & Anime-style animations, instead of calling everything anime;

• Anime refers to Japanese Animation.
  
• Cartoon refers to Western Animation.
  
• Dessin Animé refers to French Animation
  
• Hanguk Aeni refers to Korean Animation.
  
• Donghua refers to Chinese Animation.
  

MAL if there is even a single non-japanese in the production team: NOT ANIME

I don't feel like Ninja Kamui belongs to MAL. But just like Scott Pilgrim, being excluded from MAL doesn't mean it's not good. And people can always discuss in general forum of MAL or reddit or any social network.

It belongs on MAL if space dandy, Lazarus and the FLCL’s sequels are all on MAL.

@Old_School_Akira space dandy is made by studio bones tho which is a Japanese studio

@-Sleek- E&H Production is a Japanese studio. https://e-h-pro.co.jp/en/company/

And is on MAL https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/2642/E_H_Production

@Old_School_Akira ik that but i don't know why you said space dandy

Probably janitor from the studio is not Japanese, so it won't be added to database, sorry.

You guys have no patience. It hasn't even been a day since this began airing.

@Lucifrost now take a wild guess how long it's been "pending approval"...
Spoiler: much, much longer than just few days.

(And I personally know a lot of manga series that are permanently stuck in "pending approval" limbo or were deleted years later (example: Bibliomania), so something having this status doesn't necessarily mean it will get approved later)
