Characters
The series was meant to be a crossover between almost all giant monster and robot series, with characters from Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, Pacific Rim, Gundam, and many others. Several other series, such as Evangelion and Power Rangers, may have their characters appear in sequel series. However, characters not from the Godzilla, Gamera, and Pacific Rim franchises are not the same incarnations of the character from source media. (For example, Evangelion units could be alien technology, not angel-human hybrids, and the films do not take place in the Evangelion continuity.)
