Growlanser I, Growlanser II, and Growlanser III are linked as that the main characters of Growlanser I do appear as main characters in Growlanser II while the characters in both Growlanser I and Growlanser II do appear in Growlanser III through the time machine device as that Slayn will go back in time to recruit them.
Growlanser IV is pretty unrelated to everything else in the series as that it has its own direct sequel which is a compilation of three different stories and it also comes with a promotional ova. The main characters of this series do not appear anywhere else.
Growlanser V, on the other hand is pretty much a prologue to Growlanser VI. However, Growlanser V itself also comes with a 10-hour long prologue featuring various main characters in their own perspective before you start the protagonist's story. The story of the protagonist continues in Growlanser VI where he plays a minor role as that the legendary Growlanser happens to be the protagonist of Growlanser VI as opposed to being anyone else. Of course, Carmaine in the first story was one too but hundreds of years had already passed and the guy is probably long dead.
