** ''Literature/GaiaGear'' is a novel written by franchise creator Creator/YoshiyukiTomino, set 110 years after ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]'' and focusing on a literal CharClone. The later ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'', also written by Tomino, push ''Gaia Gear'' into discontinuity by contradicting elements of its backstory. On top of that, we have Tomino's ''Reconqista in G'' (AKA ''G-Reko''), which purportedly takes place in the future of the Universal Century timeline.

** ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' was for quite some time in limbo regarding its canonicity to ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Not only did ''GT'' disappoint quite a few fans, but Creator/AkiraToriyama had little to do with it. If the films ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' (the first films in the franchise to be {{canon}}) somehow didn't do it, the new series ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', the first ''Dragon Ball'' show covering new material since ''GT'', hit the last nail in the coffin regarding ''GT''[='s=] place in canon -- or lack thereof. ''Super'' and the canon movies take place during the TimeSkip between the Buu Saga and the DistantFinale, while ''GT'' takes place 5 years after the epilogue. However, various details prevent ''GT'' from following ''Super'': Kibitoshin/Kibito Kai remains fused in ''GT'' while ''Super'' has him wish on the Dragon Balls to separate back into Shin and Kibito, and the Pilaf Gang are children in ''Super'' due to a Dragon Ball wish while ''GT'' shows them visibly aged. Goku and Vegeta's power boosts and friends in high places would foil the plots of Baby, Dr. Myuu and the Shadow Dragons. At the very least, the video game series ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' proclaimed that it's an AlternateTimeline. So it ''did'' happen, just not in the main verse. [[spoiler:Heck, the ''GT'' verse makes an appearance in a DLC of ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'' when Future Trunks of ''Super'' is calling for energy of the timelines to power up his sword and finish Zamasu.]]
** The majority of movies for ''Z'' also get hit with this - the only ones that ''don't'' get hit with this are ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound Bojack Unbound]]'' and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZWrathOfTheDragon Wrath of the Dragon]]'' (which are [[NonSerialMovie non-serial]]) and ''Battle of Gods'' and ''Resurrection 'F''', which ''are'' canon. As for the rest of the movies:
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone Dead Zone]]'' is implied to take place before the series, and is BroadStrokes in the original ''Z''; however, Krillin meets Gohan, despite the first episode of ''Z'' showing him meeting Gohan for the first time, and both Goku and Piccolo talk about using weighted clothes. In spite of these discrepancies, the anime still managed to create a 5 episode filler arc involving Garlic Jr..
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheWorldsStrongest The World's Strongest]]'', ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight The Tree of Might]]'', and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug Lord Slug]]'' all reference each other, and due to Goku's Gi indicating that it's after he trained with King Kai, but before Goku leaves for Namek...were it not for the fact that a), Piccolo is alive, despite the fact that until he's revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls, he's dead, and when he's revived, he's immediately brought to Namek, b), as none of the cast know Instant Transmission at this point, there would be no way for them to suddenly warp back to Earth, and c), Gohan and Krillin are both shown on Earth in all 3 movies, but they immediately went to Namek after the Saiyans attacked. ''Tree of Might'' lacks Vegeta, meaning it can't take place in the time skip where Trunks is born. In the case of ''Lord Slug'', King Kai states that Frieza ''Can't'' defeat Slug, as opposed to ''couldn't'', indicating that Frieza is still alive, thus preventing it from taking place during the same timeskip.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZCoolersRevenge Cooler's Revenge]]'' can't be canon since Gohan still looks the same as he did when he was on Namek, at the time it would take place, Goku hasn't returned to Earth yet, Vegeta is ''nowhere'' to be seen (despite the fact that, were this movie canon, this should actually and the cast in general is a late Saiyan Saga. And as for ''Return of Cooler'', while the biggest issue (namely, ''Cooler's Revenge'' needing to happen) could be overlooked, if one was to do that, it's still non-canon because Goku doesn't use Instant Transmission, Gohan can't go Super Saiyan, and Future Trunks is completely absent.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13 Super Android 13!]]'' would take place between the death of Gero and the appearance of Cell...except 16, 17, and 18 are nowhere to be seen, despite the fact that the plot of ''Z'' was focused around the hunt for those 3; additionally, Goku should still be incapacitated by his heart virus.
*** Broly is an interesting case. His trilogy of movies was originally seen as non-serial just like all the others, since they can't fit within the manga timeline[[note]]And for other reasons, like the fact that in the second, the Dragon Balls being collected somehow allows Goku's spirit to briefly return from Other World and help his sons[[/note]], but then ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' came along and re-introduced the concept of the Legendary Super Saiyan via Kale, Broly's DistaffCounterpart from Universe 6. Then after ''Super'' we got the movie ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', which introduces a new version of the character created by Creator/AkiraToriyama himself; while this does make Broly (and his father Paragus) canon, it means the versions from the original trilogy ''aren't'', since this movie contradicts them in every way.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZFusionReborn Fusion Reborn]]'' would take place during the period of time after Goten and Trunks learn fusion, but before they fight Buu...but Buu's absense, as well as the absence of Ultimate Gohan, prevent this movie from being canon. Additionally, there is a cameo by villains from nearly every previous ''Dragon Ball Z'' movie, so those would have to be canon for this to be canon.

[[spoiler:Heck, the ''GT'' verse makes an appearance in a DLC of ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'' when Future Trunks of ''Super'' is calling for energy of the timelines to power up his sword and finish Zamasu.]]
** The majority of movies for ''Z'' also get hit with this - the only ones that ''don't'' get hit with this are ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound Bojack Unbound]]'' and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZWrathOfTheDragon Wrath of the Dragon]]'' (which are [[NonSerialMovie non-serial]]) and ''Battle of Gods'' and ''Resurrection 'F''', which ''are'' canon. As for the rest of the movies:
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone Dead Zone]]'' is implied to take place before the series, and is BroadStrokes in the original ''Z''; however, Krillin meets Gohan, despite the first episode of ''Z'' showing him meeting Gohan for the first time, and both Goku and Piccolo talk about using weighted clothes. In spite of these discrepancies, the anime still managed to create a 5 episode filler arc involving Garlic Jr..
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheWorldsStrongest The World's Strongest]]'', ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight The Tree of Might]]'', and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug Lord Slug]]'' all reference each other, and due to Goku's Gi indicating that it's after he trained with King Kai, but before Goku leaves for Namek...were it not for the fact that a), Piccolo is alive, despite the fact that until he's revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls, he's dead, and when he's revived, he's immediately brought to Namek, b), as none of the cast know Instant Transmission at this point, there would be no way for them to suddenly warp back to Earth, and c), Gohan and Krillin are both shown on Earth in all 3 movies, but they immediately went to Namek after the Saiyans attacked. ''Tree of Might'' lacks Vegeta, meaning it can't take place in the time skip where Trunks is born. In the case of ''Lord Slug'', King Kai states that Frieza ''Can't'' defeat Slug, as opposed to ''couldn't'', indicating that Frieza is still alive, thus preventing it from taking place during the same timeskip.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZCoolersRevenge Cooler's Revenge]]'' can't be canon since Gohan still looks the same as he did when he was on Namek, at the time it would take place, Goku hasn't returned to Earth yet, Vegeta is ''nowhere'' to be seen (despite the fact that, were this movie canon, this should actually and the cast in general is a late Saiyan Saga. And as for ''Return of Cooler'', while the biggest issue (namely, ''Cooler's Revenge'' needing to happen) could be overlooked, if one was to do that, it's still non-canon because Goku doesn't use Instant Transmission, Gohan can't go Super Saiyan, and Future Trunks is completely absent.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13 Super Android 13!]]'' would take place between the death of Gero and the appearance of Cell...except 16, 17, and 18 are nowhere to be seen, despite the fact that the plot of ''Z'' was focused around the hunt for those 3; additionally, Goku should still be incapacitated by his heart virus.
*** Broly is an interesting case. His trilogy of movies was originally seen as non-serial just like all the others, since they can't fit within the manga timeline[[note]]And for other reasons, like the fact that in the second, the Dragon Balls being collected somehow allows Goku's spirit to briefly return from Other World and help his sons[[/note]], but then ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' came along and re-introduced the concept of the Legendary Super Saiyan via Kale, Broly's DistaffCounterpart from Universe 6. Then after ''Super'' we got the movie ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', which introduces a new version of the character created by Creator/AkiraToriyama himself; while this does make Broly (and his father Paragus) canon, it means the versions from the original trilogy ''aren't'', since this movie contradicts them in every way.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZFusionReborn Fusion Reborn]]'' would take place during the period of time after Goten and Trunks learn fusion, but before they fight Buu...but Buu's absense, as well as the absence of Ultimate Gohan, prevent this movie from being canon. Additionally, there is a cameo by villains from nearly every previous ''Dragon Ball Z'' movie, so those would have to be canon for this to be canon.
* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' OvertookTheManga in its first season, and its final nine episodes really aren't compatible with the source material. Season two thus ignores everything after episode 17, along with the anime-only scenes from episodes 16-17, and picks up with the Kyoto Saga from the manga.

If the films ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' (the first films in the franchise to be {{canon}}) somehow didn't do it, the new series ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', the first ''Dragon Ball'' show covering new material since ''GT'', hit the last nail in the coffin regarding ''GT''[='s=] place in canon -- or lack thereof. ''Super'' and the canon movies take place during the TimeSkip between the Buu Saga and the DistantFinale, while ''GT'' takes place 5 years after the epilogue. However, various details prevent ''GT''Nothing from following ''Super'': Kibitoshin/Kibito Kai remains fused in ''GT'' while ''Super'' the Sun Wukong arc of ''Manga/{{Shamo}}'' has him wish on the Dragon Balls to separate back into Shin and Kibito, and the Pilaf Gang are children been mentioned once in ''Super'' due to a Dragon Ball wish while ''GT'' shows them visibly aged. Goku and Vegeta's power boosts and friends in high places would foil the plots of Baby, Dr. Myuu and the Shadow Dragons.

* An interestingcase.

* Not only was [[BizarroEpisode Episode 4]] of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' cut out of theLegendary Super Saiyan via Kale, Broly's DistaffCounterpart manga, but the Episode 5 OpeningNarration even refrained from Universe 6. Then after ''Super'' we got using clips from that episode! The CompilationMovie also skipped over the movie ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', which introduces events of Episode 4, only showing them as part of a new travel montage (which makes Kamina questioning who Kittan is later doubly hilarious, as they met in that episode).
* The animated version of ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' contains a discontinuity with thecharacter created by Creator/AkiraToriyama himself; while this does make Broly (and his father Paragus) canon, it means "Tokyo Revelations" [=OAVs=] ignoring the versions last filler arc from the broadcast series and picking up right after the escape from the Rekort library.
* ''Manga/WorldTrigger'': The [[FillerArc Fugitive Arc]] is a training arc that the anime inserts into the plot by postponing Round 4 of the Rank Wars, and thus the entire schedule, by one week. Season 3 of the anime proceeds as if the filler arc never happened by sticking with the originaltrilogy ''aren't'', since this movie contradicts them schedule outlined in every way.

* The last hundred or so pages of ''[[Manga/{{Gunnm}} Battle Angel Alita]]'' are ignored by the renewed ''Battle Angel Alita: Last Order''; originally intended as an [[RecursiveAdaptation adaptation of the last level of the game of the comic]], it has spiraled into a second story longer than the original that is still ongoing. Note that in this case, the original ending was a then-''extremely'' ill Yukito Kishiro's effort to avoid AuthorExistenceFailure; since he managed to recover instead, he decided to do it right.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater''[='s=] director Creator/HideakiAnno created a compilation of the series called "The Nautilus Story", with the conspicuous absence of 11 infamously poor quality filler episodes nicknamed the "Island Arc". All that remains of these filler episodes are twelve minutes, using mostly clips from episodes 23, 28, 30, and 31. A brief shot from episode 32 where the companions look down from the ''Gratan'' substitutes the title card for episode 35.
* The animated version of ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' contains a discontinuity with the "Tokyo Revelations" [=OAV=]s ignoring the last filler arc from the broadcast series and picking up right after the escape from the Rekort library.
* ''Anime/MacrossII'' is the only ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' entry to be officially shunted off into its own private universe (in contrast, both the original ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' TV series and the movie ''[[Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove Do You Remember Love?]]'' are taken in BroadStrokes in later ''Macross'' series, despite contradicting each other on multiple points). A good portion of this stems from how ''Macross II'' [[GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld was not a Studio Nue production]] -- Bandai wanted something [[MilestoneCelebration for a tenth-anniversary celebration in 1992]], and when it seemed that Creator/ShojiKawamori's cooperation was not forthcoming, came up with the story themselves. Of the original production staff, only Haruhiko Mikimoto actually worked on ''Macross II''.
* Nothing from the Sun Wukong arc of ''Manga/{{Shamo}}'' has been mentioned once in subsequent chapters. The arc that followed it was a flashback arc that followed a different character, and when the series finally came back to protagonist Ryo Narushima he had become a washed-up prize fighter, as opposed to the near demi-god he was at the end of the Sun Wukong arc.
* The second ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' movie is mostly about a Digimon attacking on [[BrokenBird Rika's]] birthday and mind-controlling her with a song she used to sing with her father. It also seemed to latch on to the idea planted in the final episode that the Tamers could use the portal Takato found in Guilmon's house to reunite with their partners. It was written and produced without the input of the head writers, however, and a CD drama released later reveals that the kids had yet to reunite with their partners even a year later, and revolved around them sending messages to the Digital World that their partners might stumble upon one day. (One of the writers speaks highly of the movie on his website, however, and the drama has a scene of Rika humming the song from the movie.)
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
** ''Literature/GaiaGear'' is a novel written by franchise creator Creator/YoshiyukiTomino, set 110 years after ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]'' and focusing on a literal CharClone. The later ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'', also written by Tomino, push ''Gaia Gear'' into discontinuity by contradicting elements of its backstory. On top of that, we have Tomino's ''Reconqista in G'' (AKA ''G-Reko''), which purportedly takes place in the future of the Universal Century timeline.
** ''Film/GSaviour'' is in a strange place with regards to continuity. Sunrise has never said it's non-canonical, but have also admitted that they do not like to talk about it and generally pretend the movie doesn't exist. Which is why the G-Saviour's brief cameo in ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' came as such a surprise to the fanbase.
** The one-shot manga side story ''Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky'', published in 1990, based its timeline on A.D. 1969 being retroactively made UC 0001, and included the then-recent Chernobyl disaster as part of Dr. Minovsky's backstory. These details, and a number of others, are contradicted by other works; in particular, ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' establishes that UC 0001 is the year the first space colonies are completed and opened to emigration, while ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'' includes a different version of Minovsky's story.
* Not only was [[BizarroEpisode Episode 4]] of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' cut out of the manga, but the Episode 5 OpeningNarration even refrained from using clips from that episode! The CompilationMovie also skipped over the events of Episode 4, only showing them as part of a travel montage (which makes Kamina questioning who Kittan is later doubly hilarious, as they met in that episode).
* An interesting deal for ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'': the OVA special "Space Police Mihoshi's Space Adventure", which introduced Mihoshi's partner Kiyone (and ''Anime/PrettySammy'', but that was because of Mihoshi's story) was made non-canonical by the series' creator, yet it was used as a canonical point for another creator's stories using the ''Tenchi'' cast.
* ''Anime/OnePieceFilmZ'' was originally supposed to be canonical, but Oda decided against it due to the numerous discrepancies between it and the manga. Though most agree that, if anything, villain Z should be a part of the canon.
* ''Manga/{{Cyborg009}}'' has at least three stories that Shotaro Ishinomori stated that he personally didn't see as applying to the canon, and that fans would be better off ignoring: "Empty War" (which was rewritten and redrawn as "A New Type of Bomb"), "The Man with the Expensive Castle", and a retconned version of the team's origin that acted as a prologue to the Underground Empire arc. The first story is considered old shame by Ishinomori as he had a better idea and revised it, while the latter two incorporated the ExecutiveMeddling-induced change of having 007 be a kid (in order to tie into the then-recent 1966 animated film adaptation of the manga). To make things confusing or perhaps for a completist measure, Tokyopop included ''both'' "Empty War" and "A New Type of Bomb" alongside each other in their U.S. release of the manga, as well as placing "The Man with the Expensive Castle" before the Vietnam arc (when it was originally published after the Mythos arc), leading to a confusing lapse in continuity.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Two episodes of the Best Wishes saga involving Team Rocket fighting Team Plasma [[TooSoon that were cancelled due to the 2011 tsunami and earthquake]] became non-canonical come the Episode N arc, which treats things as if Ash and co. and Team Rocket never met Team Plasma before their actual debut episode.
** The 20th movie, ''I Choose You'', is effectively this in regards to the rest of the series, as it makes several changes to Ash's journey through Kanto. Notable examples include Brock and Misty not traveling with him, Erika being the third Gym Leader he faced rather than the fifth, Charmander's original trainer being a new character named Cross rather than Damion, and Ash seeing [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl 4th]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon 7th]] Generation Pokémon. In short, this should be seen as an AlternateContinuity to the Kanto saga.
* Both the live-action and animated adaptations of ''Manga/BunnyDrop'' ignore the infamous timeskip, [[spoiler:where Rin falls for what is essentially her adopted father]], in favor of a more familial approach.
* ''Manga/SgtFrog'':
** In a story of the 2nd year of the anime, Fuyuki, Keroro, Kululu and Tamama visit various famous ancient locations around the world, trying to find signs of alien artifacts. They turn out to be either toys or domestic utensils built by ancient aliens, completely useless for the invasion. However, later manga chapters, TV episodes, and movies presented completely different origins and functions for those locations, ignoring that episode.
** An episode details elementary-school Momoka's original CrashIntoHello with Fuyuki, who didn't see her coming as he was busy reading a book... wait... wasn't he the BrattyHalfPint at this time?
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' was for quite some time in limbo regarding its canonicity to ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Not only did GT disappoint quite a few fans, but Creator/AkiraToriyama had little to do with it. If the films ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' (the only two films in the franchise to be {{canon}} thus far) somehow didn't do it, the new series ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', the first ''Dragon Ball'' show covering new material since ''GT'', hit the last nail in the coffin regarding GT's place in canon -- or lack thereof. At the very least, the video game series ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' proclaimed that it's an AlternateTimeline. So it ''did'' happen, just not in the main verse. [[spoiler: Heck the GT verse makes an appearance in a DLC of ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'' when Future Trunks of ''Super'' is calling for energy of the timelines to power up his sword and finish Zamasu.]]
** The majority of movies for ''Z'' also get hit with this - the only ones that ''don't'' get hit with this are ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound Bojack Unbound]]'' and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZWrathOfTheDragon Wrath of the Dragon]]'' (which are [[NonSerialMovie non-serial]]) and ''Battle of Gods'' and ''Resurrection 'F''', which ''are'' canon. As for the rest of the movies:
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone Dead Zone]]'' is implied to take place before the series, and is BroadStrokes in the original ''Z''; however, Krillin meets Gohan, despite the first episode of ''Z'' showing him meeting Gohan for the first time, and both Goku and Piccolo talk about using weighted clothes.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheWorldsStrongest The World's Strongest]]'', ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight The Tree of Might]]'', and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug Lord Slug]]'' all reference each other, and due to Goku's Gi indicating that it's after he trained with King Kai, but before Goku leaves for Namek...were it not for the fact that a), Piccolo is alive, despite the fact that until he's revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls, he's dead, and when he's revived, he's immediately brought to Namek, b), as none of the cast know Instant Transmission at this point, there would be no way for them to suddenly warp back to Earth, and c), Gohan and Krillin are both shown on Earth in all 3 movies, but they immediately went to Namek after the Saiyans attacked. ''Tree of Might'' lacks Vegeta, meaning it can't take place in the time skip where Trunks is born. In the case of ''Lord Slug'', King Kai states that Frieza ''Can't'' defeat Slug, as opposed to ''couldn't'', indicating that Frieza is still alive, thus preventing it from taking place during the same timeskip.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZCoolersRevenge Cooler's Revenge]]'' can't be canon since Gohan still looks the same as he did when he was on Namek, at the time it would take place, Goku hasn't returned to Earth yet, Vegeta is ''nowhere'' to be seen (despite the fact that, were this movie canon, this should actually and the cast in general is a late Saiyan Saga. And as for ''Return of Cooler'', while the biggest issue (namely, ''Cooler's Revenge'' needing to happen) could be overlooked, if one was to do that, it's still non-canon because Goku doesn't use Instant Transmission, Gohan can't go Super Saiyan, and Future Trunks is completely absent.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13 Super Android 13!]]'' would take place between the death of Gero and the appearance of Cell...except 16, 17, and 18 are nowhere to be seen, despite the fact that the plot of ''Z'' was focused around the hunt for those 3; additionally, Goku should still be incapacitated by his heart virus.
*** Broly is an interesting case. His trilogy of movies was originally seen as non-serial just like all the others, since they can't fit within the manga timeline[[note]]And for other reasons, like the fact that in the second, the Dragon Balls being collected somehow allows Goku's spirit to briefly return from Other World and help his sons[[/note]], but then ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' came along and re-introduced the concept of the Legendary Super Saiyan via Kale, Broly's DistaffCounterpart from Universe 6. Then after ''Super'' we got the movie ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', which introduces a new version of the character created by Creator/AkiraToriyama himself; while this does make Broly (and his father Paragus) canon, it means the versions from the original trilogy ''aren't'', since this movie contradicts them in every way.
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZFusionReborn Fusion Reborn]]'' would take place during the period of time after Goten and Trunks learn fusion, but before they fight Buu...but Buu's absense, as well as the absence of Mystic Gohan, prevent this movie from being canon.
* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' OvertookTheManga in its first season, and its final nine episodes really aren't compatible with the source material. Season two thus ignores everything after episode 17, along with the anime-only scenes from episodes 16-17, and picks up with the Kyoto Saga from the manga.
----
----
* The last hundred or so pages of ''[[Manga/{{Gunnm}} Battle Angel Alita]]'' are ignored by the renewed ''Battle Angel Alita: Last Order''; originally intended as an [[RecursiveAdaptation adaptation of the last level of the game of the comic]], it has spiraled into a second story longer than the original that is still ongoing. Note that in this case, the original ending was a then-''extremely'' ill Yukito Kishiro's effort to avoid AuthorExistenceFailure; since he managed to recover instead, he decided to do it right.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater''[='s=] director Creator/HideakiAnno created a compilation of the series called "The Nautilus Story", with the conspicuous absence of 11 infamously poor quality filler episodes nicknamed the "Island Arc". All that remains of these filler episodes are twelve minutes, using mostly clips from episodes 23, 28, 30, and 31. A brief shot from episode 32 where the companions look down from the ''Gratan'' substitutes the title card for episode 35.
* The animated version of ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' contains a discontinuity with the "Tokyo Revelations" [=OAV=]s ignoring the last filler arc from the broadcast series and picking up right after the escape from the Rekort library.
* ''Anime/MacrossII'' is the only ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' entry to be officially shunted off into its own private universe (in contrast, both the original ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' TV series and the movie ''[[Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove Do You Remember Love?]]'' are taken in BroadStrokes in later ''Macross'' series, despite contradicting each other on multiple points). A good portion of this stems from how ''Macross II'' [[GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld was not a Studio Nue production]] -- Bandai wanted something [[MilestoneCelebration for a tenth-anniversary celebration in 1992]], and when it seemed that Creator/ShojiKawamori's cooperation was not forthcoming, came up with the story themselves. Of the original production staff, only Haruhiko Mikimoto actually worked on ''Macross II''.
* Nothing from the Sun Wukong arc of ''Manga/{{Shamo}}'' has been mentioned once in subsequent chapters. The arc that followed it was a flashback arc that followed a different character, and when the series finally came back to protagonist Ryo Narushima he had become a washed-up prize fighter, as opposed to the near demi-god he was at the end of the Sun Wukong arc.
