According to the booklet that came with the special edition of Promare, the Parnassus is 5km long (the same length as Arc Gurren; previously I calced the Parnassus to be much bigger, but I feel 5km is a much more reasonable number). Nakashima notes that the entire ship was originally going to transform into a robot, but as that was too big for the story (or at least the story at that point, given Galo de Lion is far bigger), they settled with only the bridge transforming. What's more, Nakashima put forth that the warp gate would look like a cigarette burn (perhaps as the Promare flames burn a hole into the fabric of reality).

Reupload of a scan from the Tagro manga, which confirms the Tagro manga takes place in a different dimension (the manga features journeys to outer space in two chapters, one being across the galaxy and another to the Moon). This means that PSG is a multiverse in and of itself (abet one of unknown size).
Delicious in Dungeon has a crossover with Arknights! As per most crossovers beyond Trigger, I've a feeling this almost certainly isn't canon (unless of course, those versions are used).
Panty & Stocking make a cameo in the Gurren Lagann manga.
New PSG characters! Polyester and Polyurethane are two bishounen angel brothers, sent from Heaven.
The VAs for Polyester and Polyurethane previously worked on Space Patrol Luluco, Star Wars Visions: The Twins and Darling in the Franx.
Mariya Ise (the VA for Stocking) says that Panty and Stocking will return in July (in time for my birthday!), more powerful than before.
Kazuki Nakashima says that the idea for the Promare fire lifeforms came from the short story Story Of Your Life (which the movie Arrival is based off), and how communicating with different cultures can be a nuisance, even if done with friendly intentions; thus did the idea of the fire lifeforms communicating via burning was born (although I must say, that does seem like more than a mere nuiscanse).

話題の劇場アニメ『プロメア』 脚本家の中島かずきが自ら語るキャラクターに込めた意味 (2019年6月5日) - エキサイトニュース
毎号、1つのテーマを取り上げるワンテーママガジン『ケトル』が、6月16日発売の『ケトルVOL.49』で、特集テーマとして「X-MEN」をピックアップ。コミックスでは世界でシリーズ累計５億冊以上を売り上...
www.excite.co.jp So...going over some more old scans to reupload, as a thought has struck me.
According to the booklet which came with the SSSS.Gridman DVD & blu-ray, Alexis Kerib and Rikka's mother coming from outside the Computer World, and had both read the scripts for SSSS.Gridman beforehand.
As stated repeatedly by Akira Amemiya and Tetsu Inada, Alexis Kerib is Chief Overjustice, who is said to have wandered the universe/multiverse for thousands of years (this example being from Gridman Universe Super Complete Works).

According to the booklet which came with the SSSS.Gridman DVD & blu-ray, Alexis Kerib and Rikka's mother coming from outside the Computer World, and had both read the scripts for SSSS.Gridman beforehand.
In Gridman Universe, it's noted that a work of fiction can infact a real universe (and that people believing in stories and feeling emotions over them makes them real). This is relevant to the main story as the Dynazenon universe (and all the Gridman spinoff universes) were created by Gridman in his mind.
So, not only does Gridman have some pretty blatant reality over fiction transcendence (possibly even multiple levels of said transcendence going by the above passage), but given how Chief Overjustice and Midori are not only in Gridman (as Alexis Kerib and Rikka's mother respectively), but they read the script first. This would seems to imply that to Midori and Overjustice, the world of Gridman is in and of itself a work of fiction (which already has at least one level of R > F transcendance, though likely more as the Second said that Yomogi watching a fictional TV show could connect with it and make it real), and thus Space Patrol Luluco would be currently the strongest Trigger series with the most levels into R > F. It's not 100% confirmation, but IMO it is some pretty solid evidence).
Star Wars Celebration in Japan later this month will feature Karre's X-Wing as exclusive merchandise (if Karre will return in Trigger's new installment for volume 3 of Visions, only time will tell).
Polyester is the older of the two angel brothers, while Polyurethane is the younger.

New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT
ビッチ天使が還ってきた!! 今石洋之×TRIGGERによる新作アニメーション『New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT』2025年スタート！
Reupload of a very important scan from SSSS.Dynazenon Super Complete Works (and a fan translation by someone else, but which checks out); the kaiju seeds come from 20,000 years in the future, but somehow ended up in the past. These same seeds are used by Akane to grow her kaiju, as well as Goldburn growing from one after feeding from and latching to Chises emotions. Kaiju are connected to human emotions and grow from them (this is why they take humanoid forms, at least at first), whether they realise this is the case (such as Akane) or not (such as most of the kaiju in Dynazenon, who feed off the emotions of the people of the city, or even the planet.
