This is the third entry from my PTW which was deleted from MAL database sometime ago and re-added today (others are new Akira and Code Geass titles). Is there a particular reason for that?
Nothing to Ara-Ara about

Yes, I think it was re-added for some reason. Anyway, I hope this airs soon. Cencoroll is fun.

They deleted and re-added some other entries as well like Akira and Code Geass.

It's kinda annoying because the 'Notes' some users have for those entries also got deleted. And now they added them again but of course not our notes and the old threads since those got deleted with the previous IDs. 🙄

MAL should already have something similar to AniList's notfications tab and page (https://anilist.co/notifications) for notifs on site data changes!

Think they should have properly thrown these series into google first before deleting them and then having to re-add them.

Another one that should still be on there: There was an update on "World End Economica" as recent as April of this year. I forgot the account on Twitter where it was mentioned (it was someone related to the project) but I remember going "Oh it's alive!". They mentioned work on the series was moving along.

Edit: Ah, here. The post from April 20th.

@kuroicho Honestly, with the way Kickstarter projects tend to never see the light of day, I won't blame them for not having a page until there's a real pv or smthng. There were a few others that i think they jumped the shark on though, though without looking at the list of unaired shows now its hard to remember what they were.

@Daytona-520 Yeah, totally get that and agree. I'd forgotten it was a Kickstarter-type one till I saw the page again. There's a tiny bit of hope that update at least means we'll get this one at some point.

World End Economica does have a real preview. It's had one for 3 years.

@EvenJellyOn Yeah. I could understand why they removed the other entries but not with Cencoroll 3. And isn't the Cencoroll sequel being made by just one animator Uki, Atsuya (correct me if I'm wrong)? Obviously that would take a long while to complete. So they really shouldn't have deleted the entry in the first place. Now, could they give us back our 'Notes' and tags associated to the deleted ID...

I'm not satisfied with this explanation or apology: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=2121370&id=69968977
"One of the internal guidelines was applied a bit too strictly, and we've clarified within the team what to do with entries lacking in news updates. Some of the deleted titles have no clear indication that the projects are dead, which is why they have been added back. Sorry for any confusion that was caused by this!"

I mean just imagine the 'Notes', tags and comments some users have in their lists prior to the deletion of the IDs. Users should have been notified before the removal to allow them to move their 'Notes' to their MAL blog or elsewhere.
