Can someone name an anime which has been licensed that is based upon a manga that is not licensed?
I'm not talking about those mangas that were written after the anime which retells the story.

Well there's quite a few cases where the anime was licensed first and the manga followed due to the popularity of the anime, such as Fruits Basket, Akira, Trigun and Kenshin. Also Kimagure Orange Road has definitely not seen a domestic manga license while the anime has been around for awhile now. I think Full Metal Alchemist isn't licensed in manga form but I'm not sure if the anime is based on the comic or vice versa (hey I'm no expert on that series).
