There are only 3 possibilities I can think of:

1. All works (aside from possibly DEEN) are canon
2. Only the "definite" versions of the source materials are canon
3. Different mediums (and perhaps anime studios) have their own seperate "anime multiverse". All of it is canon but exist in different "multiverses", while all of the "multiverses" are still part of the "Nasuverse" (hence canon).

If you want to argue that anime TV F/Z is canon, but anime TV UBW is not, then please feel free to tell me why, considering the above mentioned possibilities.

DEEN probably has more relevance to being canon considering the whole overedge thing.

Some source materials are canon and others are not. Tv F/Z is not canon by the way, but it's closer to canon than UBW since it's a closer adaptation.

Oh dear god why did I google this, it looks... wrong...

However, my first impression was that it's the physical reincarnation of Angra Mainyu as the true evils of the world. If that is the case I do think it's pretty cool, and a nice hint at heavens feel - so long as they don't outright explain it completely, I'd be kinda happy with keeping the giant Angra Mainyu thing (if I'm right) a mystery for now.

One of those things Nasu likes to do, escpacially when it comes to Archer: RETCONS!

He approved of DEEN in the past... but Nasu probably felt it was time to reveal that cooperating with DEEN was "embarassing" and while keeping their "overedge", he cut off his connections with them, i.e. he "retconned" them out of canon, just like he always does.

Prism Illya doesn't contradict anything as it is a different universe... How is it not canon? Type-Moon is a multiverse which means literally anything is possible, there is no contradictions. It's not that simple with every piece of fiction.

It's a comedic take on the possibilities. Multiverse means that for every possibility there is a universe where it happens
. And Type-Moon is unarguably a multiverse. You may think it's stupid but your opinion isn't what makes it canon or not.

And no. As with fighting games of any anime the fighting itself is not canon.... I actually can't believe I had to say that.

I don't know how CP fits into the multiverse though? It makes no sense.
Also how does user controlled actions fit into the multiuniverse?

I mean you're grasping at straws right now.

You can't cherry pick certain things out of an anime/adaptation/whatever of something to call Canon and then rest of it not canon. I can't read the the Sons of Hurin, set in middle earth and choose only half the fucking book as canon because I didn't like the rest.

So are you saying, completely unironically, that it is definite canon that Shinji found a card game which, if he won, would let him conquer the world, and merely flicking the card caused a massive storm and tidal wave?

The Children of Hurin has no scene in which Mim rolls a die with Turin and the winner will rule Middle Earth, unless we're reading different books.

Yes. Because that's how canon works. It can be retarded or whatever, but if it's part of the world, it's endorsed/allowed by it's original creator and the creator never explicitly states it's not canon then yes it's canon. EVen if in your opinion it's too ridiculous.

If it was explained as a noble phantasm level artifact you should have no complaints. But it's possible in the same way there is a sword that is a key. And a sword tube that can destroy the world. How is a card with even 1/1000th of that power not believable.

As stated above, canon is what the original creators decide.

Anime-only viewer, here. WTF does Shirou trying out for the track team have to do with anything?

This show needs to either explain its shit to people who haven't read the VN, or just put a big ass disclaimer at the beginning of each episode that if you haven't read the VN you may as well not bother watching, because it's sure as hell not going to explain anything to you.

Also, when your sperm turns green and mutates like that, it's time to visit your family physician, Shirou. I'm concerned for your testicular health, bro. :(

This adaptation has been a complete and utter mistake. I'm usually not even one of the hardcore VN fags who complains about every little thing, but when you botch two characters completely, you're doing something wrong. Way to ruin the best route. I guess the nice visuals make it up for some people, now if only the fight choreography wasn't so garbage that it's all literally just explosions and sparks flying around, then maybe I could like this a bit more.

The high jump thing is to show Shirou's mindset of not giving up and being completely devoted to the task at hand. Also to show that Rin had been interested in Shirou for a long time.

She met him and fell for him when they were little, and it's a secret she's been carrying for a while now. I thought it was pretty self explanatory, I mean she did say he peeked into one of her secrets.

Also, somehow the scene everyone is complaining about turned out to be implied sex anyway by AO viewers.
