** The season 2 ''Voyager'' episode "Projections" has [[MindScrew the Doctor seeing Reginald Barclay, who was first introduced on TNG, who tells the Doctor that he's really Starfleet holo-programmer Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, and that all of his adventures in space have been a holoprogram testing the effects of long-term space exploration]].
** The season 4 ''Voyager'' episode "Message In A Bottle" overlaps with mid-Season Six of ''Deep Space Nine'', as the Doctor gets transmitted to a Starfleet ship in the Alpha Quadrant and learns that the Federation is currently embroiled in the Dominion War. As the Alpha Quadrant scenes are taking place in the post-''First Contact'' era, this episode also marks the first appearance of the new black-and-gray uniforms on ''Voyager''. After the Doctor successfully stops Romulans trying to take over the ship he was aboard, the USS ''Prometheus'', with the help of the ''Prometheus'''s own EMH, the Doctor tells Starfleet that his own ship and crew are alive and well.
** In "Hunters" also from season 4 of ''Voyager'', the Doctor's successful mission means ''Voyager'' gets messages from home for the first time since getting stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Thus, the former Maquis crewmembers find out about the destruction of the Maquis by the Dominion/Cardassian alliance during ''Deep Space Nine''. The season 5 ''Voyager'' episode "Extreme Risk" has B'Elanna struggling with depression from losing her friends in the Maquis.
** The season 6 ''Voyager'' episode "Pathfinder", Barclay returns, this time heading a project aimed at establishing a permanent means of interstellar communication with ''Voyager''. During one scene, Barclay speaks with TNG's Deanna Troi.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' was part of a multimedia project, now part of ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', depicting events following ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Much like what would later be done in the film ''Film/RogueOne'', its third and final season was made to lead straight into ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', featuring events which formed that movie's OpeningScroll. This was eventually overwritten by ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''.
* Following the cancellation of ''The Clone Wars'', ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' started off five years prior to ''Film/ANewHope'' and caught up with characters from the former series, calling back to events which were to be shown in the then unproduced series finale. ''Rogue One'', which aired in the middle of the third season of ''Rebels'', led straight into ''A New Hope'' timeline-wise, and even included a character who originated in ''The Clone Wars'', confirmed the continuing presence of the show's CoolShip and two of its main characters. Ultimately, the fourth and final season, while coming to a close before ''Rogue One'', provided some {{Call Forward}}s to that movie, most notably the return of the aforementioned character from ''The Clone Wars''. In addition, a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue caught up with the surviving protagonists following ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', while [[SequelHook setting up a search for one who went missing]].
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance'' starts off some six months prior to ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', catching up by the time of its first season finale. ''The Force Awakens'' was followed immediately by ''Film/TheLastJedi'' timeline-wise, and so the heroes of ''Resistance'' come across the aftermath of the battle which opened the latter movie early on in their second and final season. Finally, ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', released prior to the series finale of ''Resistance'' which of course ended with the gang living to fight another day, confirms that their ships joined in TheCavalry for the [[FinalBattle Battle of Exegol]], with the novelization counting their characters amongst the comm chatter.
* Having been UnCancelled after some years, ''The Clone Wars'' was granted a final season which at last shown the battle which had been mentioned in ''Rebels''. In addition, it featured cameos from a couple of ''Rebels'' characters, plus a villain from the film ''Film/{{Solo}}''.
* Both the final arc of ''The Clone Wars'' and the opening of SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'' take place concurrently to the galaxy-shaking events of ''Revenge of the Sith'', most notably [[ThePurge Order 66]].

* Kiyohiko Azuma's original series (''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'', and ''Wallaby'') all appear to take place in the same continuity, but aren't quite a 'verse because there's little direct overlap other than minor nods; given that they're all SliceOfLife series, there are no major events that impact each series' storyline.
** Kokoro Kousaka, the main protagonist of ''Wallaby'', appears as a cameo in one scene of ''Azumanga Daioh'', visiting the stuffed animal café at the school festival; in the manga, she has the eponymous Wallaby in her pocket, but not in the anime. In turn, the last chapter of ''Wallaby'' sets up this cameo by having Kokoro tell Wallaby about a school festival she's planning to visit. (Due to ''Wallaby''[='s=] early cancelation and relative obscurity, it hasn't crossed over with ''Yotsuba&!''.)
** Since no characters from one series have directly appeared in the other, the overlap between ''Azumanga'' and ''Yotsuba&!'' is mostly limited to other aspects, such as merchandise of Chiyo-chichi (the "father cat") and Nekokoneko stuffed dolls. In one chapter of ''Yotsuba&!'', a girl is seen wearing ''Azumanga''[='s=] distinctive high school uniform, while in the 10th anniversary chapters of ''Azumanga'', Tomo is seen wearing the same "Kodomo Usagi" shirt that Yotsuba normally does.

** At one time this was the exception rather than the rule... each story was set in its own continuity and it was rare for one costumed hero to even be aware that others existed. It wasn't until the Justice Society of America title in 1940 that heroes interacted with each other on a regular basis, and it proved so popular that DC eventually attempted to weave pretty much ''all'' its titles into a single overarching continuity (things that couldn't be made to conform were assigned to alternate universes in the "multiverse" concept, and it was possible to cross even those over if a writer really wanted to... the first such crossover involved Barry Allen and Jay Garrick (both "The Flash" in different universes).
