But near as I can tell Wonderful Days meets this requirement (based on my quick check of ANN. However, I don't believe it meets this one:

Cause near as I can tell it premiered in Canada first.

Then by these terms, Afro Samurai is not an anime. Let's not allow that either.

I agree - Sticking to the guidelines in all cases is a lot less dammaging to the system (In terms of people respecting it - or at the very least pretending they do) than allowing selective exceptions.
