Required before applying

Before you apply

ShangoMaji is a curated anime distribution label. This is not open upload, self-publishing, or instant public release. You are submitting your work for review.

Expectations

You are submitting for review, not publication.
Approval is not automatic public catalog placement.
Distribution requires licensing, media readiness, and ShangoMaji review.
Creators retain ownership of their work.
ShangoMaji controls public catalog inclusion and release readiness.
Mature storytelling is allowed when it serves the work.
Pornographic or sexually exploitative content is not accepted.
Fully AI-generated submissions are not accepted at launch.
Any AI-assisted use must be disclosed.

Mature Storytelling Standard

ShangoMaji accepts serious anime and anime-inspired works with mature themes when those themes serve the story. A project may include violence, horror, blood, grief, trauma, psychological intensity, strong language, dark fantasy, adult situations, or other R-rated material when handled with purpose and creative control.

ShangoMaji is not a children’s platform, and mature storytelling is not automatically disqualifying.

ShangoMaji is also not a pornographic or sexually explicit content platform. Pornographic content, sexually exploitative material, and sexualized depictions of minors are not accepted.

All mature content is reviewed in context. The question is not whether a work is intense. The question is whether the intensity belongs to the story, respects the audience, and fits the ShangoMaji catalog standard.

AI Use and Human Authorship

At launch, ShangoMaji prioritizes human-created work. Fully AI-generated submissions are not accepted for catalog consideration at this stage.

Limited AI-assisted work may be reviewed case by case, but creators must disclose how AI tools were used. This includes AI used for images, animation, writing, voices, music, editing, reference generation, concept development, or any other material part of the project.

Disclosure does not automatically disqualify a project. Hidden AI use, unclear authorship, or work that cannot be responsibly credited or licensed may block review.

The standard is simple: the work must have clear human authorship, rights clarity, and creative responsibility.

How Submissions Are Reviewed

Submitting a project does not guarantee acceptance. ShangoMaji reviews submissions based on project fit, originality, creative direction, quality of materials, completeness, rights clarity, content policy alignment, and whether the work can be responsibly reviewed, licensed, and prepared for distribution.

A project may be rejected because it is incomplete, outside the platform’s focus, unclear in rights ownership, not ready for review, not aligned with the catalog standard, or not suitable for distribution at this time.

Rejection is not a judgment of the creator’s worth. It means the submitted project does not currently meet the standard or timing required for ShangoMaji review, licensing, or catalog consideration.

ShangoMaji reserves editorial discretion over review decisions, catalog fit, public visibility, and distribution readiness.

Apply only if you are ready to present your work clearly, disclose rights and collaborators honestly, and move through a serious review process.
