  We discuss the (spontaneous) chiral symmetry breaking in a strongly coupled
anisotropic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in the presence of the magnetic field,
using holography. The physical quantities related to the chiral symmetry
breaking (m;B_c) distinguish between the effects of the anisotropy and magnetic
field on the plasma. Anisotropy affects the system similar to the temperature
and for its larger values heavier quarks can live in the QGP without getting
condensed. Raising the anisotropy in the system will also increase the value of
the critical magnetic field, B_c, at which the spontaneous chiral symmetry
breaking happens. Both of these growths are even more when the magnetic field
is applied perpendicular to the anisotropy direction. Such behaviour persists
in the high temperature limit where the temperature is kept fixed. However,
when the entropy density is held fixed, as one increases the anisotropy,
lighter mesons melt when the magnetic field is applied along the anisotropy
direction, in contrast to when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the
anisotropy direction.
