Yes it is. Thanks for asking. But we just don't consider it "anime." We suggest entering it into [http://www.bcdb.com/ The Big Cartoon Database]. | Yes it is. Thanks for asking. But we just don't consider it "anime." We suggest entering it into [http://www.bcdb.com/ The Big Cartoon Database]. | ||
These rules can be changed if the AniDB mods feel it is appropriate for AniDB. At this time however, we feel these rules are the closest to meeting the spirit of what we want to catalog. | These rules can be changed if the AniDB mods feel it is appropriate for AniDB.

===Definition of whether an anime was primarily produced by a CJK producer=== | |||
Determining whether an anime is considered primarily produced by a CJK producer involves a subjective evaluation of potentially ambiguous facts. To aide in the assessment, consider the following scale from 0 to 100, where: | |||
* 0/100 means the anime is clearly produced by non-CJK producers. | |||
* 50/100 means the anime is evenly split between non-CJK and CJK producers. | |||
* 100/100 means the anime is clearly produced CJK producers. | |||
To assess where an anime stands on the spectrum, we assess the CJK score of each production role in the anime, and sum total the weighted average CJK score of all production roles. | |||
* Higher importance roles and credits are scored with a higher weighting. Examples of higher importance roles include, but are not limited to: direction, production, work, production work, animation work, etc. | |||
* The role's weight is multiplied by the CJK score of the company/creator occupying the role (see definition below), to arrive at the weighted CJK score for the role. | |||
* The weighted average CJK score of all roles determines the CJK score of the anime. | |||
'''Example, ''for illustrative purposes only, non-binding, not precedent setting, needs to be reassessed on a case-by-case basis, and not in itself a deciding factor on its own'':''' | |||
Anime: {{short|a18283|Scott Pilgrim Takes Off}} | |||
* Production: weight 3.0, occupied by {{short|cr54015|Netflix}}, 0% CJK -- 3.0 * 0% = 0.0 | |||
* Animation work: weight 2.0, occupied by {{short|cr48093|Science SARU}}, 100% CJK -- 2.0 * 100% = 2.0 | |||
* Direction: weight 1.5, occupied by {{short|cr48450|Abel Góngora}}, 40% CJK -- 1.5 * 40% = 0.6 | |||
* Storyboards: weight 1.5, occupied by {{short|cr48093|Science SARU}}, 100% CJK -- 1.5 * 100% = 1.5 | |||
Weighted average: | |||
= (0.0 + 2.0 + 0.6 + 1.5) / (3.0 + 2.0 + 1.5 + 1.5) | |||
= 4.1 / 8.0 | |||
= 51% CJK, with this limited subset of roles described. | |||
====Definition of whether a particular company/creator is considered CJK==== | |||
Determining whether a company/creator is considered CJK involves a subjective evaluation of potentially ambiguous facts. To aide in the assessment, consider the following scale from 0 to 100, where: | |||
* 0/100 means the company/creator is clearly non-CJK | |||
* 50/100 means the company/creator is evenly split between non-CJK and CJK | |||
* 100/100 means the company/creator is clearly CJK | |||
To assess the where a company/creator stands on the CJK spectrum, we assess their qualitative factors, applicable to the specific anime in question, and approximate a numerical score. | |||
'''Example, ''for illustrative purposes only, non-binding, not precedent setting, needs to be reassessed on a case-by-case basis, and not in itself a deciding factor on its own'':''' | |||
Creator: {{short|cr48450|Abel Góngora}} for {{short|a18283|Scott Pilgrim Takes Off}} | |||
* Gongora is a Spanish national who's been working in Tokyo for Science SARU since 2013. | |||
* Gongora leads the Japanese production team for this anime. | |||
** Gongora occupies the director role for this anime. | |||
** The director role is owned by SARU on this anime. | |||
Therefore, considering the above, we consider Gongora to score at least 40/100 CJK. | |||
