Notes
Many of the stories are reimaginings of multiple episodes/story arcs from Steven Universe, Star vs The Forces of Evil, Sailor Moon (R, S, Super S & partially Stars from the original series as well as seasons 2 & 3 of Crystal), Transformers Energon, and multiple Getter Robo and Mazinger stories. Others serve as sequels (or midquels) to the original Mazinger Z (minus UFO Robo Grendizer) and Getter Robo series, G Gundam, Equestria Girls, Danny Phantom, and many of the other shows featured throughout the series.
The series is very heavily inspired by the Super RobotWars franchise, a series of video games that crossover dozens of giant robot anime, with how it takes multiple storylines and character arcs from different shows and combines them into a single narrative.
The series mostly focuses on action cartoons (or at least cartoons with a large focus on action) and action-based anime, and while there are certain comedic elements, the story tries to take story elements like character's psychological troubles and death scenes seriously. Some comedy-based shows do appear for at least a single episode, but none of the characters that appear join the main cast, so don't expect characters like SpongeBob SquarePants or Bugs Bunny to fight against Godzilla or something.
On the giant robot side of the series, for the mecha shows featured, each of the three seasons follow a trend similar to the three eras of the genre. In the mini-series, it was simply to throw in the big three predecessors of mechas (Mazinger, Getter and Gundam), with Transformers thrown into the mix for the fun of it. For the proper three seasons, the first season takes inspiration from the Super Robot era (themes of love, compassion, friendship & courage, though does have a hints of real robots mixed in), the second themes from the Real Robot era (themes of war and loss, though still slight instances of Super Robot elements), and the third elements from the Fusion Era (a combination of elements from both genres).
The main idea behind the selection process for most of the cast is to pick characters that didn't get much screen time/development in their respective series (like Starscream, Dani and Melody), they have an interesting alternate universe concept (such as Pink Diamond's inclusion), or just to see how differently their stories would progress interacting the rest of the cast (such as Usagi and Star).
A common theme of the series, and the Crystal Knights team as a whole, is for second chances, for characters who've lost their way in life or are trying to make up for their previous actions to seek refuge and redemption.
