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.

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.

By now everyone knows that Sailor Moon is considered to be a Magical Girl classic, but can you consider Tokyo Mew Mew to be a classic? Of that I am not sure, but I do know that Tokyo Mew Mew is after Sailor Moon one of the most likely "next" Magical Girl for many, filled with a lot of the known tropes. So on one side, you've Sailor Moon, which is a major series because it proved to be a game changed in regards to the genre, and then you've Tokyo Mew Mew which serves as a bridge into the genre. It may not be a series someone who is looking for the more serious series like Madoka, but it is a good series for those wanting to look at seeing where the genre has been and was going over a period of time. read more

Tokyo Mew Mew, or Mew Mew Power, and Sailor Moon have that same magical girl type thing, with a group of girls who transform and fight the evil aliens/people. They both deal with a cry-baby, yet strong, main protagonist and have all the same elements with the Sailor warriors in animal cosplay form. 

Tokyo Mew Mew however is more focus more on the life of endangered animals rather than humans and their energys, but both have the same feel

Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew are both Shojo animes about cute teenage girls who gain magical powers to fight evil. They are so similar to each other, that if you liked one, I can pretty much guarantee you'll like the other. They both have five female leads, both have cute girls kicking ass, both have horrible English dubs, and they both have very similar protagonists. Ichigo Momomiya of TMM and Usagi Tsukino of SM are both sweet, bubbly, clumsy girls with huge hearts and great character development.

I think they're both great, but personally, I like Sailor Moon a bit more.

Although there have consequently been innumerable recommendations between the two series, I want to further introduce Tokyo Mew Mew to Sailor Moon fans. Both series have a similar plot; 5 girls receive magical powers and are required to save the world (Nothing different from a standard precure series), but in my honest opinion, the similarities end there. Both have different themes present throughout their respective story (Tokyo Mew Mew talks about saving the Earth in the sense of decreasing natural habitat loss, logging, and preservation of endangered series from alien-like entities, whereas Sailor Moon sets out to save the Earth from entities trying to destroy them). I highly recommend this short series for Sailor Moon fans. read more

report Recommended by MoonXArtemis

Sailor Moon established the Magical Girl genre as it stands today, providing the archetypes that a show like Madoka Magica is manipulating. Both shows center around middle school girls who possess magical powers and use them to fight against evil, accompanied by cute animal guardians which guide their development as heroines. Sailor Moon establishes the storyline that you expect to see replicated in Madoka Magica. Both shows are cute in animation style, which contrasts with their surprising moments of darkness. The young girls in both shows prove to be less naive than they are portrayed, demonstrating acts of personal sacrifice and actively confronting ethical problems. If you are a fan of Sailor Moon, Madoka Magica is an interesting take on the magical girl archetype, and if you enjoyed Madoka Magica but have not watched Sailor Moon I would recommend it as an important predecessor. read more

If you're looking for another top notch magical series, then Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is definitely the series for you! Be warned--it's much darker than Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, but it still showcases what all magical girl series' have to offer: friendship! 

report Recommended by enchantedsloth

Both shows are "Magical Girl" anime that explore darker themes than other shoujo, such as death, responsibility, violence and divinity, alongside the usual friendship and occasional romance. While Sailor Moon is a light-hearted villian of the week show that gradually gets darker with every season, Madoka Magica is a twist on the genre that takes shows such as Sailor Moon and skips the filler and goes straight for the dark stuff. Both Madoka and Usagi serve as the watchers self-insert into their worlds, although Usagi presents much more personality and relatability than Madoka does. These series have great supporting casts that steal the show. If you liked Madoka Magica and you want to know the influences on the show, if you wanted more romance (either straight or yuri), and to basically enjoy a classic anime to lighten the mood, Sailor Moon is a great choice. And if you liked Sailor Moon and want to watch an anime that emulates later episodes, if you need action instead of romance, and a more macabre version of your favorite group of heroines, Madoka Magica is the one for you. read more

What's come to be known as the Precure series likely wouldn't exist today if it weren't for Sailor Moon, at least not like it now is or as soon as it is, yet the same can be said of many Magical Girl series due to Sailor Moon pushing a few boundaries regarding expectations.

As such, both these Anime provide a good look regarding the progress/history of the Magical Girl genre.

Wedding Peach will feel a lot like Sailor Moon when you watched the show.  I want to add that Sukehiro Tomita, the creator of Wedding Peach was also one of the writer for the Sailor Moon TV series.

So if you want to watch something similar or feels like Sailor Moon, then Wedding Peach will fill in that same excitement.

The two animes are closely similar in which you can obviously see in how they transform and such.

Both of the male protagonists, at the beginning, always tease the girl, who, initially, hates him, but later on the two become a couple.
Also, Sailor Moon had an episode about possessed paintings (which is what Jeanne is about).

They are both long and old series. Stories in them are different, but in both of them they are demons who are trying to hurt people. Both stories deal with magic. In both of them group of heroes fight for the sake of the peace. Both deals with the past connection of the pair of main heroes and heroines.

Kagome (Inuyasha) is pure-hearted just like Usagi (Sailor moon). They are both week and scared, but they always risk their lives trying to save their friends (sometimes even their enemies). Both heroines are connected  with two lands at the same time. Both heroines are reincarnations of powerful and well-known in their world women. Their past-life-self died with their beloved and because of him. In both main heroine have a very carying mother. Both have a little brothers.

Kagome (InuYasha) remind me a little to Sailor Mars- Rei (Sailor moon). They are both with long dark hair and like to tease their friends. Rei is also a miko (shrine maiden) and Kagome is reincarnation of a priestess. They are both sensitive and look kind of similar with their red miko dress. Even Kagome's strange grandfather remind me of Rei's, 'cause they are both odd and with strange ideas whom sometimes made their granddaughters to suffer.

Kagome fights with uniform that reminds me of these of the sailor warriors.

Levitating addpermalink

Levitating is heavily influenced by Sailor Moon aesthetics, going as far as to imitate the oldschool animation style while also borrowing some imagery including even the transformation sentence. So if you liked Levitating and have yet to see original Sailor Moon, go give it a try. And if you're fan of Sailor Moon, you might enjoy the visuals of Levitating.

Happy Seven: The TV Manga addpermalink

As I was watching Happy Seven, I noticed a lot of similarities to Sailor Moon. Both are magical girl anime, with clumsy protagonists (Amano and Usagi) that look alike and fall for the main magical boy. There is a group of magical girls and a magical boy who are able to transform and fight demons that hurt people (the transformation scenes also look alike). Also, the shows can be episodic at times, but have an overarching story (Sailor Moon is a lot longer though). In Sailor Moon, Usagi gets her powers in the beginning and more Sailor scouts are added in as the series progresses, but in Happy Seven, the whole group has powers and then Amano's powers slowly awaken. If you like one then I think you will like the other! read more

Tsubasa Chronicle addpermalink

Alright, this kind of HAS to be here. The format of the show is not that much similar, however, the background stories of the main characters and the underlying theme of meeting in another life, not to mention the whole Princess plot and various kingdoms in different dimensions/on different planets, gives me a very similar vibe.

These magical girl shows share a heavy focus on friendship and sisterhood along with some romance. 
Finding the princess (who must also be a warrior) and protecting her are important in both; instances of time travel/alteration can be found in both.

Cutie Honey F addpermalink

Cutie Honey F is sometimes considered a successor to Sailor Moon. They have very similar visual styles, and share an episodic structure where each episode the main character/s have to figure out how to defeat a new monster using their transformation abilities. Each main character also has a mysterious love interest who, at least in the beginning, periodically appears briefly and then leaves after a few words.

Kyuuketsuhime Miyu (TV) addpermalink

Both series run on a mostly 'Villain of the Week' Format, but do take occasional breaks to have episodes focused more on characters.
Both series are firmly rooted in the use of spiritual/magical abilities, despite it taking place in the 'grounded and realistic' world of 1990's Japan.
Both series showcase the lead female usually sealing away or destroying the enemy of the week using a signature move.
Both series have a lead female who is often guarded by a lead male, however, their relationships are a bit on the...complicated side.
Both series rely on Slice of Life moments to help build up the friendships between the cast of females, however, Sailor Moon does this with the knowledge that these friends are also sisters-in-arms, while in Kyuuketsuhime Miyu, Miyu never actually fights alongside her friends.
Miyu and Sailor Moon both let you get very familiar and comfortable with the characters before, in the final handful of episodes, showcasing the backstory as to why they are fighting their enemy.
Lastly, both series are quite progressive for their time, though Sailor Moon went a little farther with it then Miyu. read more

Both Sailor Moon and The Cursed One Piece have supernatural elements with a suburban japan/school setting. It would not be out of the realm of imagination to have an episode of sailor moon be centered around a cursed dress. 

Smooth Rose pedal animation may harken close to Utena visuals but Sailor moon was the predecessor of rose symbolism in anime.

Personally, One Piece & Sailor Moon are both my all-time favorite anime series. I felt obligated to recommend OP to SM fans because I just realized the connection that they have to each other that I adore. They both have a ditzy & aloof main protagonist and a "crew" of individuals that have their own personalities. On top of that the main protag, albeit seemingly stupid at times, has their crew/friends backing them up and believing in them wholeheartedly. Always knowing they will win because of the protags good heart and how much they care for their friends. And they are both very strong people in the face of danger/or when something is at stake. Luffy & Usagi are SO cool <3   read more

usagi and the anime version of maria  are similar in a few odd ways

-both maria and usagi   fall for an older guy ...  maria and captain .. usagi and tuxedo mask    (obvious love knows no age boundaries type of romance)
-maria  and usagi are both a real burden  for almost every superior they face
-they both are super cute
-they both  are klutzes and make similar mistakes, the difference though is maria is more positive than usagi, never the less both these ladies are goofy and cute
the difference is there are no supernatural magic   happenings. however  if you like the  slice of life points of usagi    maria has some of that.         read more

Samurai Troopers is clearly the shounen version of Sailor Moon, as they go hand-in-hand for their story, characters, development, and overall style.
Both are classic, must watch, old school anime with an identical plot: group of 5 teenagers fights against the monsters of an evil empire that wants to conquer the Earth. The above said kids have magical super powers (related to virtues in Samurai Troopers & to planets in Sailor Moon) that make them transform respectively in armored samurai and sailor scouts (the transformation scenes are extremely similar). Both of the group leaders (Ryo/Usagi) even have a feline pet/helper (White Blaze/Luna).
Sailor Moon, being a shoujo, has plenty of romance, drama, comedy, and also a better character development, while Samurai Troopers is more focused on action. read more

Nurse Angel Ririka SOS addpermalink

Other magical girl series may have more similarities with Sailor Moon on the surface, but few have such a similar spirit as Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. Both series were made in the 1990s and have similarly simplistic cel animation -- if one appeals visually to you, the other certainly will as well. Each is aimed at young girls but still portrays emotion and character growth in more mature ways than one would first expect. Finally, each series features a team of villains who can, at times, be more entertaining that the heroes, with distinct personalities that set them apart not as villains, but as characters.

Panty and Stocking is a parody of the magical girl genre. Instead of naive princesses which transform with sparkles and lace, Panty and Stocking are two fallen angels whose transformation sequence is literally a strip tease. The writing is very crass, full of cussing and discussions about sex, and the artwork is bold and stylized. Panty and Stocking's parody of Magical Girl genre is similar to FLCL's parodying of the mech genre, and not suprisingly PS&G and FLCL come out of the same studio. While not everyone who enjoys Sailor Moon will find PS&G funny, if you are willing to laugh at yourself and the (often) ridiculous elements of magical girl shows, give it a watch. read more
