My pet peeve is the unfortunately common confusion between the words "cannon" and "canon". The
former is something you shoot people with, the latter is the official version of characters and events. One letter makes a big difference!
Heh, sorry, yesilmavi.
That said, I agree with yesilmavi. It's fine to say that the manga is the author's original vision, and the anime gets messed about by a dozen other
writers. That's true.
But while the anime might not be the author's version of the series, it is still an official version - it was legally produced by animation studios and companies in full possession of the rights, with the
author's legal consent if not editorial oversight.
