  We discuss a possible dependence of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) on the
elliptic flow coefficient v2. We first study this in a hydrodynamic model for a
static anisotropic plasma with multiple anomalous U(1) currents. In the case of
two charges, one axial and one vector, the CME formally appears as a
first-order transport coefficient in the vector current. We compute this
transport coefficient and show its dependence on v2. We also determine the
CME-coefficient from first-order corrections to the dual AdS background using
the fluid-gravity duality. For small anisotropies, we find numerical agreement
with the hydrodynamic result.
