Welcome! To the 2019 Eligibility Post!
This is the place to make your case for any canons that you know live in the gray area of "does this count as ten years old?" I will keep a running list here of the canons that I have decided on, one way or another.
When making your case, please include the canon's full name (as you would nominate it in the tagset), the date(s) of all the canon material that has been released, and your reasoning as to why I should accept it. Here's an example:
ETA 2/10/19: In cases of tie-in comics and novels, my rule of thumb is: 1. are the tie-ins well known? 2. are they by the same creators? and 3. does it clearly follow the original canon in terms of continuity/characters? If the answer is "no" to at least two of these, I won't consider them as disqualifying material. If you disagree with me about a particular judgment call, feel free to point out why - I'm not super familiar with everything, and Google can only do so much!

This is the place to make your case for any canons that you know live in the gray area of "does this count as ten years old?" I will keep a running list here of the canons that I have decided on, one way or another.
When making your case, please include the canon's full name (as you would nominate it in the tagset), the date(s) of all the canon material that has been released, and your reasoning as to why I should accept it. Here's an example:
Ella Enchanted - Gail Carson Levine (1997)
A prequel, Ogre Enchanted, was published in 2018. While the events of Ogre take place in the same timeline/continuity, it follows a main character who did not appear in Ella. The main cast of Ogre is for the most part completely separate, apart from two characters (their identities being spoilers) who were extensively mentioned in Ella, but appeared only briefly in the original book. Therefore, I feel as if the two novels should be considered separate canons.
ETA 2/10/19: In cases of tie-in comics and novels, my rule of thumb is: 1. are the tie-ins well known? 2. are they by the same creators? and 3. does it clearly follow the original canon in terms of continuity/characters?

Weiss Kreuz
Date: 2019-02-21 12:08 pm (UTC)The last episode of the anime was aired in February of 2003. The manga that followed it wasn't released in the US and is only available in English via scanlations. That manga, Weiss: Side B, ceased publication in August of 2007.
The Wikipedia page for Weiss Kreuz is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei%C3%9F_Kreuz
The drama CDs mentioned in the article are, to the best of my knowledge, only available in English via fan translations. I'm having trouble finding dates on them, but I'm fairly sure that they all pre-date the end of Side B. The site that hosted fan translations of them is no longer there. The last ones on the Wikipedia list all relate to Weiss Kreuz: Gluhen, the second anime series which finished airing in 2003.
