Eprico said: we only used the term anime as a reference to Japanese animation, it expanded to included chinese and korea. If you are going add it must as well add Family Guy. I think they should make an exception for Castlevania because the original story is Japanese and the some of the episodes were worked on by ex-Madhouse employees. The show took so much inspiration from so many different anime that it basically just is an anime at this point. How come Korean and Chinese shows are on mal but not this? The same American animation studio wants to animate berserk. What if they do and it just isn't an entry on mal? That would be ridiculous, Castlevania should be added to the database. |
Eprico said: You do know early Japanese cartoons were inspired by Disney and American cartoons? They needed foreign animators to teach them how they did it and some were English dub with your logic Astro Boy, Big X and others that they weren't anime either. Gurifisu-Femto said: we only used the term anime as a reference to Japanese animation, it expanded to included chinese and korea. If you are going add it must as well add Family Guy. Castlevania is a Japanese story animated partly by Japanese animators that was released with a Japanese dub and is hugely inspired by anime. If anything, it's far closer to being an anime than any Korean/Chinese show. Family guy takes absolutely no inspiration from anime and is entirely American. They're completely different and that isn't a good comparison. |

Neither is Star Blazers or taleSpin. Since video games are being talked, than pac man, legend of zelda, Mega Man: Fully Charged etc. Non of those cartoon based on japanese videogame are present in mal Also for above statement "stitch!" is japanese take of american cartoon lilo and stitch which is present in mal beause its made by japanese. Its not 50 years old |

Those shows are over 50 years old and are completely irrelevant to this conversation. The question of the definition of “anime” is an open one. I think this is relevant in that context: much of Japanese animation borrows techniques that American animators (Disney) pioneered. Still , this a large debate, and getting into it too much here might not shed a lot of light on whether Castlevania should be on MAL or not. Somebody probably pointed this out already, but RWBY is on MAL. I’m sure you all have thoughts on that in regards to Castlevania’s inclusion here, as you should. It’s confusing, and certainly frustrating. I found this thread after I looked and could not find Castlevania on here. |

It’s confusing, and certainly frustrating. I found this thread after I looked and could not find Castlevania on here. RWBY is NOT on MAL, get your facts straight. MAL only has the manga adaptation of RWBY, same as Castlevania manga. And the " question of the definition of anime " is very much clearly defined and not open at all. Oh lord, you’re right, I got my websites mixed up. But the definition of anime is open. All manner of animated productions are often called “anime” by any number of different people and entities. Western cartoons are “anime” to the Japanese. So it is complicated and unsettled. But it’s not worth any animosity. It simply isn’t settled, and maybe it doesn’t need to be. I presume MAL has some criteria, and we can argue about that, but I know that it’s frustrating trying to keep track of my progress of certain shows (RWBY included now that I’ve got my facts straight) when they’re not on here when they could possibly be categorized as anime. |

Eprico said: You can't make exceptions for some and not others despite them meeting the same criteria. Korean/Chinese animation animated in an anime style is no different from American animation animated in that same style. I get your argument but if we're talking about style, then I wouldn't say it's the "same" as Japanese anime. The directing, music, dialogue, animation (especially of the mouths), and certain aspects of the art feels very American to me. I know this is based on a Japanese property and has a Japanese dub and everything, but still the vast majority of the core staff who created it is American and it shows. I honestly don't think it's closer to traditional "anime" than many of the Korean and Chinese shows on MAL. I wouldn't really be against Castlevania being added, just explaining why I think it is the way it is. |
