This is famously an impossible problem to solve. For example, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a Science Saru anime, but MAL sees it primarily as a Netflix production based on a Canadian story. And I have to agree: if the English dub isn’t trash, is it really anime?

I think when you’re studying the contracts between different multinationals to decide whether something is anime or not, it’s better to err on the side of community and friendly discussion, making anything anime-adjacent fair game for this instance.
