add recBoth anime's are about girls transforming into "superhero's" and defeating evil "monsters" while working with everyday life and relationships
Both series are not only magical girl, but also follow a very similar "monster of the week" formula with stories that focus on similar themes such as friendship between the heroines, middle school romance, and dreams of the future.

add recAngelic Layer and Pretty Cure are spins on two anime genres: namely "collectible fighting monsters" and "magical girls". Both series may seem typical on the surface but in actuality are non-standard examples of their genres, especially when it comes to action sequences. Battles in Pretty Cure and Angelic Layer are physically punishing as the heroines engage their opponents in hand-to-hand combat, rather than rely on special attacks or mystical artifacts like in other shows.
Both series are aimed at young audiences but neither is pandering or condescending, so older viewers can enjoy them as well.

add recObviously, the main connection between TMM and Pretty Cure is that they are both of the magical girl genre, but there are many more similarities between these two anime. The character development is very similar in both, and the action scenes take on very similar layouts. The plot of both shows is also similar in that both teams of protagonists are attempting to stop an outside influence from destroying and/or taking over the world.
