The "Leijiverse"is a collection of series and properties created by Leiji Matsumoto. This collection will be a one-stop-shop for the series that are a part of this universe. They will not be listed in any particular order.
The resources I am using for this collection are this index and the Wikia. I also used AniDB. Thank you also to @beachmongoose from Twitter for helping me out with this!
The Leijiverse is described as a loose chronology, meaning that the entries in it can be contradictory, and what is and isn't canon is often up to debate.
Here are the animated series that are in the greater Leijiverse:
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Space Battleship Yamato
Galaxy Express 999
Interstella 5555
A musical film and the animated adaptation of Daft Punk's album Discovery, directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi and supervised by Leiji Matsumoto.
