Anime is currently listed under the “Animation” genre. Media culture separates Japanese anime from Western animation, and I think WeTrakr should reflect that
it’s currently listed as a keyword for a show in the API, and it appears reliable. that can be a workaround

Made a similar post but for anime to be a separate media type instead of just a genre.

yea but the dev would have to make his own custom genres using conditions from TMDB such as keywords or production country

Additionally also add Donghua for Chinese and Aeni for Korean animation respectively. This is also the feature Trakt has by splitting “CJK Anime” into 2-3 subgenre
