I was told that this anime is non-canon, but there are things from the anime
that are just as the same as the manga.

question
sora-no-otoshimono
Is Sora no Otoshimono anime non-canon?


Strictly speaking, the manga is the canonical source since it's the original
work. However, the anime adaptation is also considered as an original work
_based on the manga_. It means, while the anime follows the general theme,
_there are some changes and it includes original stories_.

The differences between the TV broadcasted anime's 1st & 2nd season (not
including the DVD version) and the manga according to [Japanese
Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%89%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E3%81%A8%E3%81%97%E3%82%82%E3%81%AE#.E5.8E.9F.E4.BD.9C.E3.81.A8.E3.81.AE.E7.9B.B8.E9.81.95.E7.82.B9):
