I’ll be answering what does canon mean in anime.

What Does Canon Mean In Anime

Canon in anime is whatever story that follows the official material.

Canon in Anime

A story that’s canon means that it’s confirmed by the author to be an official version.

This applies to all forms of fiction.

To be more specific, the fans of whatever body of work that was created agree that the story actually happened in the fictional universe.

One of the first stories that came to mind when thinking of non canon stories in anime are a few of the Dragon Ball storylines.

Specifically when I started watching Dragon Ball GT.

What Is Non-Canon In Anime?

Non-Canon in anime is the story that’s told with assistance of mangas.

But because it’s not officially written by the original author it won’t be considered canon.
