I have questions about a few fandoms. Neon Genesis Evangelion: original anime ran from 1995 to 1997, manga adapting it with a changed ending from 1995 to 2014, remastered cinematic edition diverging from the original anime in the last minutes of second of three movies released so far in 2012. Is this canon eligible? Sailor Moon - original manga 1992-1997, New anime adaptation with minor plot changes 2014-2016. Revolutionary Girl Utena - original manga and anime 1996-2000, additional epilogue volume in 2019. Code Geass - original anime in 2006-2008, an OVA series starring different characters in 2016, a film overriding the ending of the first season in 2019. Additionally, what about American comics? The runs are never ending, but what if I am interested in a fanfic based on specific run? What about Gundam? Each season/OVA series/movie/manga/novel is its own story, mostly self-contained, but as in the case of American comics about half of the stories happen in the same continuity (Universal Century), with the most recent entry still ongoing. I guess Universal Century does not apply, but do other settings? Also, do you think it is worth asking for pretty obscure works that seem not to have an official release in English?
