No, anime is definitely not canon.
Doesnt change the fact that they show certain things which
are canon. Such as Kyoshiro=Denjiro and the just-released neg diff of Moe-sama's "Sanji beating credible foes". If you hope that wont happen in manga, you are about to be neg diffed for the 2nd time for one and the same thing.
Enjoy it and sue Toei for doing this to you.
