Line 36:
* ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' by Mamoru Nagano is a Spiritual Successor to ''[[Heavy Metal L-Gaim]]'', an anime series he worked on with [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]].
** There are hints in the manga that it is, in fact, in the exact same continuity - that it is a prequel of sorts, pre-dating L-Gaim by a good span of time.
* ''[[Air Gear]]'' is a Spiritual Successor to the ''[[Jet Set Radio]]'' games. (The Korean [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ''[[Street Gears Online]]'' appears to be a Spiritual Successor to both.)
* ''[[Xam'd: Lost Memories]]'' is an obvious Spiritual Successor to ''[[Eureka Seven]]''.
* Subverted to hell and back with ''[[Daitarn 3]]'', by [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]]. Similar name as the series that came before it, ''[[Zambot 3]]''? Check. Similar design for the robot? Check. Similar weapons like a "Sun Attack" which is almost identical to Zambot's "Moon Attack"? Check. Three main characters? Check. [[Kill'Em All]] ending? HELL NO! Although Zambot 3 was one of the first [[Deconstruction]]s of the [[Super Robot]] genre, Daitarn was a more humorous crossover with [[X Meets Y|James Bond in a Super Robot.]] Doesn't stop them from having team attacks in [[Super Robot Wars]], though.
