Main characters are girls. Morphing girls :D. They morph and get super powers and fight evil demons (in tmm they fight aliens, but when they take over an animal and transform isn't it the same?). They all fight with the power of Love.
Although the animation style is quite different there's a bunch of similarities between these two: group of girls with super powers, one of them is the leader, there's a sentence they say everytime they transform and there's an object that gives them the power to do so, the leader is in love with someone who is also part of the good ones and helps in battles, enemies come from other planet oh and of course there's some cute being (an animal in sailor moon and a robot in tokyo mew mew) that helps them in theory but usually not in battle.
The same quality are lime umm they transformed, have super unnatural power for some reason, tranfor in a animal or can talk with it
If you like magic girls like sailor moon you may like TMM. The transformations are similar and in TMM are a character similar of tuxquedo mask

They have VERY similar storyline and are both of the Magical Girl type of anime. They both have interesting romance plots. You can't help but like both of them if you liked the other.

Both have girl fighters on little skirts that destroy enemies on filler episodes over and over again with the same attacks. More credits to the originality of Sailormoon, since the clothing, character and situation analogy is posterior for Wedding Peach.
This is similar to Sailor Moon because not only was it made about the same time, it even uses some of the samd Japanese Voice Actors. But not because of that and not because it's a Magical Girl Story...it's just a nice storyline. Cute heroines and bad villians. Boys to fall in love with but have a mystery about them. It's just plain a fun story!
Main characters are girls. They morph and get super powers and fight evil demons. They all fight with the power of Love.
Both are mahou shoujo anime centering around 14-16 year old girls, both leads have similar air-headed personalities, and both have similar episode formats and plots. If you like mahou shoujo, there's no reason not to give this a try. (^_^)b
They are almost the same show. This is because they are both girl fighting groups fighting in the name of love.

When anime fans start talking about shows that began their interest in japanese animation, many people point to the fact that their first experience with anime (whether they knew it or not at the time) is Sailor Moon. It's one of those anime shows that people fondly remember as the basis of "how to do anime right" for future shows of its kind. ... Even when comparing it with today's new trends, plots, characters and animation, it is easy to notice why Sailor Moon is fondly accepted into the hearts of anime fans around the world.
In my eyes, you could not have picked a better anime to become immersed into the anime world than with Sailor Moon. And a big reason for that is the intricate and well-developed plot, arguably the strongest feature Sailor Moon presents. At the surface, you can say that it's your typical "children rising up to save the world" theme. However, this magic girl anime show presented unbelievable twists to the plot that included five different main story arcs with amazing depth to each of them and somehow, it always able to weave itself flawlessly back to the central theme that encompassed Sailor Moon. To top it all of, when you watched Sailor Moon, it was able to emotionally draw you into the show with ease, where you undoubtedly had your favorite sailor scouts and actually cared about each and every character and what happened to them. Very few anime shows back in the day (early 90's) were able to do that, and though we see it more often nowadays, its still a special skill that is needed.
Again, because of its 1992 creation, the art obviiously seems old-fashioned and not as crisp as what you watch nowadays. But if you really think about, each character was drawn well, each given different physical characteristics that separated each one from another and the backdrops used were well detailed to an extent. Sure, there were a ton of repeated frames (namely during transformation), but what anime nowadays doesn't have them? In all, it still holds up very well, even in today's times.
Depending on what version (English or Japanese) you are most familiar with and most vividly remember, the sound preference of the show could go either way. While I personally did not have a problem with the English cast, the Japanese cast also voiced each character pretty well. The voices of each character gave of enough feeling and emotion, which helped draw the viewer into the show even further. The music was so good that there have been hundreds of performances, many musicals and an ample amount of released soundtracks that have been much appreciated by the public.
Again, one can also argue that the strongest point in Sailor Moon was the plethora of characters they introduced, each one of them having a significant part in the grand scheme of things. As I stated before, everyone picks their favorite sailor scout, and to me, each scout's character personality seemed to fit their represented planet quite well. They took their time with introductions of characters and the development was amazing, with new powers, techniques and relationships acquired throughout the entire series. The one downside people may bring up is that they may have been *too* many characters and with that, the focus is turned away from the main ones. On rare occasions did that occur in Sailor Moon.
Weaving all of this together, Sailor Moon is easily one of the more enjoyable "old-school" anime shows out there. Almost every episode had some kind of meaning towards the overall plot and a lot of the battles can't be called anything short of epic. However, a big question mark on whether or not people enjoyed Sailor Moon was their views towards romance. Love was one of the bigger themes of this show, seen strongly epitomized between the characters of Usagi (Serena) and Mamoru (Damien). If that was something you loved, chances are you favored this series more so than people who didn't find that factor appealing.
All in all, Sailor Moon is one of the shows that started the anime trend outside of Japan and they could not have picked a better show to showcase than the Sailor Moon franchise. With a great cast of characters, a lengthy, emotional series involving epic clashes between good vs. evil and a highly well-developed plot, Sailor Moon is a show that if any younger anime fans out there haven't seen, or if the older ones thought was too "mushy," you should give it another try. Who knows, it just may be right up your alley. read more

Feb 23, 200846 of 46 episodes seen 8 of 11 people found this review helpful The first part of the legendary series, Sailor Moon season one, is what many of us anime lovers watched that sparked our interest in Japanese animation... it definitely sparked mine. To those who love Shoujo series or Shounen series; it didn't matter with Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is the basis to anime today, along with many other popular series like Dragonball, Astro Boy, Tenchi Muyo, etc. But anyway, back to reviewing the series.
Story - Naoko Takeuchi couldn't h...ave done any more of a better job. This gets a ten out of ten. Why? If you notice that many other Mahou Shoujo series are EXACTLY alike Sailor Moon, then you find yourself always comparing the story to being "unoriginal." Why? Because Sailor Moon stole most of the good points first. :D
SPOILERS AHEAD. STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANNA SPOIL IT.
Also, we all feel for Usagi when the story draws to a close and she loses every one of her friends; and we feel drawn in to her whenever she's in pain, we also believe in her when she's fighting Beryl on her own. <3
SPOILERS OVER, YOU MAY CONTINUE.
Art - I only gave this an eight because it wasn't the best animation of the series, considering it was only 1992, not much about any animation was amazing compared to now.
Sound - Could have been just my DVD's, but the sound was pretty low and not so good... but once you got used to it you could ignore the quality.
Character - Who couldn't love the characters of this saga? If you watched this, or plan on watching this, you find yourself relating to someone... all the time.
Enjoyment - If you love Mahou Shoujo, just plain old Shoujo, or hate Shoujo and like Shounen; either way, you'll love this series. I did, and since 1998 this series has remained close to my heart as one of the best series of all time.
Overall - Pretty much perfect. I recommend this to anyone who loves the Sailor Moon series... especially if you're a fan of Ami-chan/Sailor Mercury; since you get to see her in more action than usual! :o read more

Nov 29, 2007200 of 46 episodes seen 7 of 14 people found this review helpful In my opinion, this anime is the best one out there for a person of my interests. There's tons to learn from it, and the characters blend really well. Usagi and Rei have their own little conflict, Ami is the brain who bails Usagi out of everything, Matoko is the brilliant chef who brings goodies for everyone, and Minako is the one who dreams of being a star. These five best friends, along with Mamoru, Usagi's boyfriend, transform into super soldiers here to save the world. Usagi, who is also the... Moon Princess, is the leader as Sailor Moon. Ami, the second sailor soldier found, has control of ice and water and is Sailor Mercury. Rei, the third, uses her own charms and curses as well as the power of fire as Sailor Mars. Matoko, The fourth, uses rage and electricity as Sailor Jupiter. Minako, the fifth, uses love and light as Sailor Venus. And Mamoru, who is the Prince of Earth, transforms into the sensual Tuxedo Mask, who often saves the Sailor Soldiers from the clutches of evil. Later on in the series, mose Sailor Soldiers appear! Haruka, who is Sailor Uranus, uses the power of the earth. Michiru, who is Sailor Neptune, uses the power of water. Setsuna, who is Sailor Pluto, uses the power of time with her Time Staff. And then there is Hotaru. Hotaru is initially a threat, but soon she proves her worth as Sailor Saturn. Hotaru uses the power of Silence with her Silence Scythe. Of course, there's one more person worth mentioning. Chibi-usa! Usagi and Mamoru's future child is aslo a Sailor Soldier, she is Sailor Mini-Moon. While these eleven have their problems, they all love and support each other. I suggest thet you check it out! read more
