I never really understood this concept, I mean doesn't kishi work on the anime just as much as he works on the manga. If he does, then wouldn't that mean all the extra little things he adds in the anime because he couldn't fit them into the manga. For example the itachi and kisame sparring match?.
All i'm saying is if the dude works on the anime like he does the manga then it, should count. None the less can someone explain to me how the anime isn't canon?

It's not canon because it doesn't come from Kishi. Kishi doesn't do the anime, only the manga. The animators add extra stuff, there are fillers. For example: Konohamaru vs Temari never happened, so that's not canon.

Just remember it's not canon because Kishi doesn't do the anime.

Kishi doesn't work on the anime, and it contains fillers which don't exist in the manga or kishi's imagination

He have a team to help him draw,etc. And he review it and makes sure it follows the story. Anime allow them to add more side story.

he still approves it, and it's kishi's own team...so how can it be non-canon?

^ This. Sure, the anime includes filler episodes, but everyone knows that's so the manga stays ahead by a good amount of chapters/episodes.

Anything shown in the anime that wasn't shown in the manga like filler arcs (Sora arc, Guren and the Sanbi arc)aren't considered Canon. Movies aren't considered canon. They aren't considered canon because they don't in any way affect the main plot of the story.

I am at least FAIRLY sure Kishi approves of the anime, I find it hard to believe that Kishi has nothing to do with the cartoon based off his story.

The English dub is completely not canon though, they add in lines that aren't even close to right.

You know, like in DBZ, the line about Kid Buu being the strongest Buu?
