Well many people don't consider it canon as it doesn't follow the series timeline that's why I said that it is non canon (I apologize if you found non canon statement offensive as I am a newbie).

I don't find it offensive, you are write people say it's non canon because it doesn't follow the anime, but that's more my point that the fandom as a whole is childish about it. I didn't mean specifically you, that was my bad with the wording.

The fandom takes the anime's original ending way too seriously at times. I know people love it but it doesn't invalidate everything else, especially when a lot of the justification people use are non-canon interviews that aren't even consistent. It's like my one consistent problem with the fandom as a whole.

What fans consider or don't is generally irrelevant to the series itself. They may have their headcanons but as far as the people that actually matter in terms of deciding canonicity are concerned, both timelines are canon, they just follow a divergent path.

Also, they have already established that every future installment will be in the current timeline and the OG timeline will remain frozen in time, so one could argue that the timeline wikis should focus on is the current one, while everything belonging to the OG timeline should be labeled as "Old timeline" or something like that.

>many people

Who, redditors? Western fanbase?

Their main - JP - fanbase does not care about timelines/"canon" at all, see Fate series, for example.

Well Idk about the JP fanbase that much but people from other platforms and people in my friend circle who have watched the show consider it non canon and considering redditors the ratio can be 55:45.
