        As pointed out in that Wikipedia link, the original Japanese doesn't use the word "trilogy" at all. That, and don't they lump Mirai Robo Daltanious with those three shows because it contained a lot of reusede themes from Combattler, Voltes, and Daimos?

    Because of the staff and the themes of the shows, see the Dollars Trilogy for a more well know example.

    Trilogy doesn't mean just connected shows or sequels, it can also be used for filmography.

      For a western (literally) example see the "Dollars Trilogy"...

      ...which, admittedly, looking it up just now reveals that even calling it a trilogy was just one guys marketing scheme. But still.

    Why is it called Final Fantasy 7 when it doesn't even take place in the same universe? What the frick were they thinking?

      You think you are too smart but your example makes you look moronic.

      The use of a number and "trilogy" isn't the same at all.
      FF 7 means it's the 7th main entry of a series. (you can't make 7 games all called 'Final Fantasy' too)
      Trilogy means 3 works related to each others, a story that runs in 3 works, etc...

            I'll give, I'm not really invested in this, but if you want my honest thoughts, I think it's just the robot designs, toy line, and maybe themes or similar concepts between shows. They do this a lot with Japanese media (I don't think the "Toei Fushigi Comedy Series" is much of a series either, for example) and I think it's mostly a marketing gimmick. I was under the impression most people understood this.

    There’s no such thing as a Mazinger trilogy either because Grendizer don’t belong there.
