it must be me,but for some reason the whole Leijiverse seems to make perfect sense(you just need to fill in a bit yourself here & there)
yes,the stories are/seem to be interwoven,but you can also say that Matsumoto uses his characters(ships & planets included) more as actors (who always are the same folks playing different parts)
it's also a typical Japanese thing to make sequels or sidestories to stuff that have (almost) nothing to do with the original anymore
eg:I got an old Jap frankenstein movie and it's sequel.the sequel has nothing to do with the original(they refer to stuff that happened in part 1,but this seems to be set in an alternate universe or something),but if you look upon it from a certain point of view,it IS a perfect sequel that DOES follow the first film.
I know that what I'm saying won't make much sense to most of you,unless you know what point of view I'm talking about.It's a bit difficult to explain,you prolly just need to have the right mindset
Harlock/999 and Yamato both coexist in the same universe(in fact Koji from Yamato once met Harlock at a certain point) although they both are from a completely different earth with a different past & future...just accept it & try to fill in the blanks yourself
