MAL only accepts animation produced and animated mainly in Asia (probably East Asia only?). CMIIW but Korra is produced by Nickelodeon, an American company, and the audio is English. While this one is entirely produced in Korea.

I think, mal adds only anime that was directed and/or screenplayed by asians. We seen stuff like bakugan battle planet on mal already (directed and written by asians anime only for western market) and recently edgerunners (polish-japanese coproduction for worldwide audience). Its becoming harder and harder to distinguish anime from anime related work, thats a fact and i believe it will become harder as it progresses as the world is getting smaller and smaller in terms of communication and work from different places on the earth.

About Edgerunners if the person really watches anime, you will notice that Edgerunners is totally different from anime, even the traits are different and about MAL database, I had read last year that MAL accepts animations created and made by Japan, South Korea and China, meanwhile Korean animations are called ''hanguk aeni'', Chinese Animations are called ''Donghuas'' and Japanese animation are called ''Animes''

MAL has expanded to include animations from other asian countries like Korea, China, etc, mainly if they have some sort of japanese staff involved.
Avatar, Korra and alot of other anime stylized cartoons that are made in America are not anime.

Exactly. They should add it.
AnimePlanet.com has even Dota & Castlevania in their library. MAL should make it able to add these title & Korra.

Dude if you want to complain about something that's worth it, check out Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters and the controversy surrounding that show.

Actually MAL is including 100% chinese productions, since ages. Nothing of japanese staff or anything.

The point is just: East Asian animation.

Btw, the countries and culture are similar in many ways. I always approved this change in MAL.

Chinese and Korean animation have been allowed on MAL since the early days of this website.
