Another respect thread for the Trigger-verse, because there can never be enough of them. See also my threads on the old OBD (as well as the calc list), Spacebattles (for both Trigger and Gurren Lagann) and Comic Vine.
We'll start The Trigger-verse is the shared universe/multiverse of everything created by Studio Trigger (as well as a few of their older projects from Gainax and Production IG). Every single series or project animated by Trigger is part of the Trigger universe as a baseline requirement.

Akko meets Luluco in interdimensional space.
Alpha Omega Nova ends up in the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt in the official season 2 doujin.
In an interview, Hiromi Wakabayashi talks about the connections between Inferno Cop and Chief Over Justice, and points out all the subtle references in both Inferno Cop and Luluco and future series. This highlights that even seemingly minor, subtle references can have great importance.
Chief Over Justice from Space Patrol Luluco eventually became Alexis Kerib from SSSS.Gridman, after spending thousands of years wandering the Multiverse.
Backing this up, Alexis Kerib and Rikka's mum don't originate from the Computer World, and they read the script before the events of the show, with that meta-knowledge being a part of their characters. This further backs up that Alexis Kerib and Rikka's mum are Over Justice and Midori respectively.
The World of Hiroyuki Imaishi further confirms the shared cosmology, with not only Gurren Lagann & Panty & Stockings with Garterbelt appearing from Hiroyuki's Gainax days), but also Dead Leaves (which from Production IG).

Wakabayashi says that these cameos can hold important information to the Trigger-verse. For example when asked if Lucia Fex from Promare is Spring, he said that there was a special easter egg in the Galo-hen short which gave information about the Trigger-verse.

Each of these series exist as different universes, but with characters who can transcend these boundaries and traverse different worlds (such as Miss Trigger and Inferno Cop).Since Luluco was a crossover show, do you envision any crossovers happening with Promare? Is Promare set in the same universe as other Trigger anime?
Wakabayashi: Any project or series animated by us, the baseline requirement is to be included in the Trigger universe, so I guess [it's possible].
Einlar: Are Gurren Lagann, Little witch academia and Kill la Kill all set in the same universe at different points in time? My fan theory is that Akko's using spiral energy, and Croix will be the founder of the Anti-spirals.
Hiromi Wakabayashi: Technically they exist in a different universe. However, we have few characters such as Trigger-chan and Inferno cop with the ability to cross between these walls and limitations.

The Trigger crew took on fans' burning questions. When will Muzzle appear in an anime? What's up with Sucy's design? Is there more Gridman on the horizon?

We see this in the shows themselves, with Luluco meeting Inferno Cop in the underworld (which is the same underwolrd/hell we see in Inferno Cop).The three Trigger mascots are the Trigger Girls, Miss Trigger, Muzzle, and Spring. At the end of Space Patrol Luluco, we see her become Miss Trigger. It seems like Lucia Fex [from Promare] is based on Spring. When will Muzzle appear in an anime?
Wakabayashi: Currently at the studio, we have several head directors, Yoshinari, Imaishi, and [Akira] Amemiya. Yoshinari isn't that interested per say but Imaishi and Amemiya both are debating who gets to direct the anime that will feature Muzzle. Amemiya is saying, "You got your chance, what about me?" In the instance when we maybe make Space Patrol Luluco 2, we're figuring how we're going to make all the alternate timelines make sense.

On top of that, there are many cameos and easter eggs in almost all their shows. Panty & Stocking make an appearence in the Gurren Lagann manga, and Luluco & Alpha Omega Nova appearing in Kiznaiver.Hiromi Wakabayashi: Everyone calls this guy Inferno Cop, but he actually isn't. I think people who've watched Inferno Cop will get this... In episode 10, the Egypt episode... In it's last scene, Inferno Cop's on the phone with someone. He calls him Chief there... Now that was Chief Over Justice. Actually, as you can see here, this desk has the ICPD logo on it. So he was originally in the ICPD, but for whatever reason, he's now in Ogikubo, acting as Chief of the town's Space Patrol Branch. And this is his story. Actually, in the Inferno Cop universe, there are many others who carry the flames of Hell. He's one of them, and his desk has the mysterious figure of "13" written on it. More details will be revealed in future Trigger anime.

Sure enough, we see Lucia talking to Luluco, Midori and Over Justice on her computer screens.Ani-Gamers: Lucia, one of the members of Burning Rescue, looks a whole lot like one of the Trigger Girl mascots, Spring-chan. When are we going to see Lucia turn into Spring-chan?
Wakabayashi: You haven't had the opportunity to see this yet, but we have these two short prequel episodes to the film called “Lio-hen” and “Galo-hen.” For the Galo one, there is a hint that you might notice if you pay attention. There's an Easter egg in one of the monitors. So when it does get released, people who are fans of the Trigger-Verse should watch it frame by frame so you won't miss out on it.
