This is an external link template to MyAnimeList. MyAnimeList is a user edited database of anime and manga. The website does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. However, the biggest problem is that the website overtly links to and promotes other websites that engage in illegal distribution of copyrighted materials in the form of fansubs. Examples of this include The Wind Rises, The Garden of Sinners, and Hanayamata. As such, the website cannot be used as an external link per WP:ELNO. —Farix (t | c) 22:38, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
