Yes there are. Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump is an example. It was also a canon crossover.

Golden Time has an interesting NANA crossover. Durarara!! is also presumably in the future from Baccano because Isaac and Miria are there in one episode.

Wasn't that because General Blue and Goku flew so fast the crossed into another dimension/universe? I think that's sorta pushing it because they were meant to be different universes but I guess it can work within the rules of the series having multiple continuities in a single universe.

I think that was just a cameo because the novels were written by the same author. Not really something people should be looking that deeply into.

I have seen this with manga a couple times, in works from the same mangakas. One Piece and the one-shot Monsters, and Wallaby and Azumanga Daioh.

White Album and White Album 2 are in the same universe.

WA2 isn't a sequel. They deal with completely different people.

Cameos don't automatically mean same universe.

Here's an interesting one, Osamu Tezuka's works have similar looking characters because they're actors playing different parts.

i think haruhi is just a tv show in the lucky star universe

anyway, a lesser known/older example is Lost Universe and Slayers, even though technically, kanzaka's universe is composed of 4 different universes xd

I believe Seo Kouji's manga Suzuka, Kimi no Iru Machi, and Fuuka are all in the same "universe", which I guess isn't that special, seeing as the "universe" is just everyday life. But characters have cameos from time to time outside of their respective stories.

Not sure if there's an actual connection, but the opening and ending songs for Psycho-Pass are preformed by the band Egoist. But "Egoist" is a fictional band created in Guilty Crown, with one of GC's main characters (Inori) as the lead singer. So I'm not sure if there is somewhat of a connection there.

i remember that at comiket there were phone cards with haruhi characters, and some other show, and someone (konata i think) was pointing out that the main characters of the show are also the worst selling phone cards

I'm convinced that's just because Lynn wrote both of them. No need to look deeper.

Chaos head, steins gate and robotic notes are all in the same universe. First is chaos head then 1 year later steins gates takes place then 10 years later robotic notes takes place. In fact, nae from steins gate I'd young but is grown up in R;N.

Other is: Outlaw star and angel links. Minor characters from outlaw star and supporting/main characters in angel links.

Kannazuki no miko' s 2 main characters are reborn in shattered angels.

Kinda surprised that no one has mentioned the currently airing Tokyo ESP is set in the same universe as Ga-Rei Zero. Ga-Rei Zero looks like it'll be better than Tokyo ESP though, but ESP still has time to improve.
