Synopsis:

Life can be tough when you're a teenager. Enter Tsukino Usagi, an average, if somewhat clumsy, junior high student whose voracious appetite for sweets and capacity for tears are offset by her enthusiasm for life. Her normal existence is suddenly turned upside down when a talking cat named Luna comes into her life. Suddenly, Usagi finds herself with the ability to transform into the superhero known as Sailor Moon. Fighting the occasional monster may be the least of her worries, though...

Card Captor Sakura

Card Captor Sakura main image

Kinomoto Sakura never imagined that by opening a book in her father's library, she'd be responsible for releasing wild magic into the world, yet that's exactly what she did. Too powerful to be let loose on the world, the magical Clow cards were sealed away long ago by their creator, Clow Reed. But all is not lost! For the guardian beast, Keroberos, was sealed along with the cards. Can Sakura, with the help of Keroberos, retrieve the cards before they wreak havoc on the town?

Of course this is a good follow up to Sailor Moon. Every genre treatment by Clamp rocks. Trust me, Clamp never fails.

If you did like Sailor Moon then you should like Card Captor Sakura. both series is about a girl that lives her ordinary life, when suddenly it seem that she is not that ordinary. they have a destiny to fullfill. they travel with friends that they meet along the way to gather different objects (cards in Card Captor Sakura and cristals in Sailor Moon) while fighting the evil.
clem
Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon are so similar it's scary. Much of the animation resemble each other, and the stories are basically the same - girl's identity as superhero is hidden, and at night battles atrocious villains. These two are a definite pair!
icyglaze
Card Captor Sakura and Sailormoon are similar in a way that both animes focus on an ordinary girl by day and an extraordinary saviour by night. The main characters fight to destroy evil and to save the world they love. Also, both animes have a cute little animal as a guardian. Although Card Captor Sakura does not have the love theme present throughout the entire series like Sailormoon does, these two animes are quite interesting and have a lot in common.
shalist
They're both stories about a 'ordinary everyday girl' who suddenly ain't so ordinary. Join them as they progress through their respective adventures gathering interesting companions, new skills and tricks, and confidence along the way.
LLORAtheLLAMA

Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura have the magical girls a lot of people love. With so many episodes, you grow with the characters and understand how they feel. You see that those girls are pretty much like us and are trying to get along with others and reach their goals. Either catching Clow Cards or going against the Dark Kingdom, they're out there helping those in trouble.

LizzyFizzy

If you liked Sailor Moon, you'd love Cardcaptor Sakura. Why? Because they are similar in many ways. =) Both are about an ordinary girl who becomes something extraordinary and fights evil powers. Both have romance and the main characters are similar: they are funny, simple-minded, brave and... well they both have a great appetite! XD I myself wondered for a long time what to watch after I was done with all episodes of Sailor Moon.  Someone suggested Cardcaptor to me and I watched all 70 episodes including the 2 movies. I practically loved it! ^^ Hope you find this useful.

caitlin

Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura are both magical girl type shows, with occasionally clumsy female leads (Usagi more so than Sakura), strong, supporting male leads, and good, cute humour to boot. If you liked one, I'm sure you will like the other.

styln

Both Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura deal with a regular girl who gains magical powers and then has to deal with her daily life while fighting evil. Both girls have cute little guardians and have many of the same personality traits.

NomadicWriter

I think that eveyone who has seen either one of these series will absolutely love the other, they both have magic, love, and cute outfits! not to mention saving the world from the bad guys.

jurexplay

Two magical girls shows. Although some say that CCS is a rip off Sailor Moon I think it has it's own magic. I enjoyed both series very much and don't have any complains about any kind of rip off. Really if you are into Magical girl shows then both are excellent choice.

RapidYaoiOtaku27

Usagi and Sakura are two girls thrown into the world we know as Magicial Girls in a whirl wind of Clow Cards and Magicial talking cats with Henshin broaches.

Sakura like Usagi has trouble being on time for school, she has boy probs, a brothersome older brother, and a whole mess of magic she never knew she had! Suddenly she's appointed a Clow Card Captor. She has to catch and seal all clow cards that have escaped.

Having already loved Usagi and her crazy antics you'll love Card Captor Sakura!

iluvanime

Both series are about a girl who is living a simple, ordinary life when they encounter a "magic". Both include romance and a talking animal that supports and gives advice to the main character (Luna in Sailor Moon and Kero in Card Captor Sakura). If you liked Sailor Moon you'll enjoy Card Captor Sakura as well.

Shoutai

Both are great starter animes for any person just getting into the fandom. Both being from the magical girl genre, they sort of have the same feel and elements. Even though they don't have the same underlying story, they're both extremely cute.

Kari5

Young girls suddenly given magical powers and must save the world...describes what these shows are about! Magical transformations, attacks, and battles every episode! And of course, romance! These shows are great for those who love magical girl shows!

keyzti

Both these animes revolve around the magical girl concept. There is love, drama and the transformations. Have you not already seen these animes in you’re childhood you should see them now! If you liked one, you would definitely like the other!

iKaity

Another anime pair with a girl who has the fate of the world in her hands. Both animes have the magical girl transformations and everything. Not to mention romance.

If you like one, you'll like the other :)

Noria

Both of them are about an ordinary girl and how its lifes changes when they meet a starnge creature which reveals to them that they have special powers and they have a mission to fullfill. Also,  they are both  girly anime.

Trinityx94

I watched both these shows when I was a kid. They were brilliant. Though Sailor Moon is more for girls and Cardcaptor Sakura is possible for a mixture of genders - they are similar and someone who liked one would like the other in my opinion. However beware the dubbed version of Card Captor Sakura. Well... don't beware it. If you're looking for more romance in an anime, watch the Japanese version with English subs. But if romance isn't really your cup of tea, I suggest watching the dubbed version of Card Captor Sakura. Though both are loveable in their own way :)

Tokyo Mew Mew

Alt titles: Mew Mew Power

Tokyo Mew Mew main image

Momomiya Ichigo was a normal girl, worried mostly about her crush, Aoyama Masaya. However, just as she was finally able to date him, she was struck by a mysterious beam and everything changed. She is now part of the Mew Project, genetically fused with an endangered species of cat. With her new powers and companions, she must protect the earth from invading aliens.

5 girls in short skirts fighting Aliens, 5 girls fighting agasint Aliens.... Hmmm, sound alike? It gets better! As the enemy is about to do some serious harm, these loving animals raise up and give a 20-30 seconds speech before killing the enemy's butt. The main character Ichigo's weapon transforms about 3 or 4 times much like Sailor Moon. Ichigo also has a love interest much like Serena. Mint is much like Rei etc.
NekoRocket
Another magical girl 5-team, Sailor Moon follows the same sort of plot as Tokyo Mew Mew, but with a less eco-conscious theme. Often thought of as the 'original' magical girl team, Sailor Moon was very popular and often mimicked.
MechaTama31
It galls me to recommend Sailor Moon at all, but it would be ridiculous to ignore the obvious similarities between the shows, with young girls, magical transformations, cheesy battles and cheesy humor (not that I don't like cheesy humor... ^_^), etc.
yasmina

Both Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew center around a young girl who, one day, discovers that it's up to her to save the world. Tokyo Mew Mew and Sailor Moon are both very similar, in the way that they have to fight and save their loved ones from worldwide destruction.

Himitsu

This is an obvious recommendation. I think that anyone that watches Tokyo Mew Mew will immediately think of Sailor Moon (I say this, because Sailor Moon came first). You will certainly like one if you like the other though. Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew both involve a clumsy, somewhat dim-witted main character that discovers powers to fight evil. The main theme of "love conquers all!" is here, and things turn somewhat corny; you also have the henshin element - even the five soldiers!

EternalSnow

Sailor Moon and Mew Mew Power are very similar in the whole outline of the show. In both series the girls are "chosen" one by one, both have those cheesy transformation intros (you have to know what I mean). Both main girls are hopelessly in love, and both of their loves have a special little secret of their own (although neither of them really know it). Also, both of the men in each series help the girls in battling the evil villains... you get where I am going with this, I hope! Same stories, different characters; both are great. ^.^

Canal

When I started watching Tokyo Mew Mew I got reminded of Sailor Moon. They're both magical girl anime where the 5 heroines have to protect the world from the bad guys. They also have a monster of the week formula and the main bad guy always gets away at the end of the episode.

tuff2baunicorn

Fans of magical girl shows will probably be overjoyed to watch both Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew. Both shows focus on ordinary girls recieving extrodinary powers, giving them the ability to transform into super heroes and defend the earth from aliens. Both shows balance saving the world with balancing your love life, friendships and school. Each series is upbeat and colorful, and the characters are cute and distinctive!

Ran

Tokyo Mew Mew is a condensed version of Sailor Moon. It has the same characters, a five member team where each member has an associated color and weapon, attack,and transformation. Everything sounds so alike it could be called plagiarism. The enemies in both series are similar: the main bad guy is in love with the main magical girl who is saved at the last second by a bishonen fighting for his beloved one. The advantage of Tokyo mew mew is that Bunny becomes an annoying crybaby over time, while Mew Ichigo is clumsy but turns into a responsible fighter after a short while.

Hachiko

Both series are about girls who have become superheroes. They learn how to use their powers and learn to get along together.

Shenice10

I do think that Tokyo Mew Mew and Sailor Moon are pretty much the same, same plot anyways. They both transform, and the leader only has the power to defeat the demon/being and the others just weaken it, theres also a male with a confusing past and conflict with his powers. The only difference it the transformation Sailor Moon and Sailor Scouts have the powers of the planets, and Tokyo Mew Mew have the powers of animals. A_A

chii

One special girl with 4 of her friends are given magical powers to vanquish evil. If you liked one you'll like the other.

DevilsCandy

I know it seems really frilly, but once you get passed that it's actually a good show. It's pretty much like Sailor Moon..only without the ultra cute talking cats,and instead of planets, it's animals. The odd thing I found...was the food tie in. The main character Ichigo is basically a strawberry cat, each character has an animal and a food. Different concept..just give it a shot.

Shoutai

Both from the magical girl genre, they're both really easy to get into. Even though the episodes can get a bit repetativ, they're both worth checking out.

dokurochan

In both shows 5 girls get the power to transform into superheroes so that they can fight aliens from another planet.

Aburi

Tokyo Mew Mew and sailor moon are the definitive sailor soldier anime. They have near identicial plots, themes, characters and cutscenes.

The differences are that Mew Mew is much much shorter, and I think a little sweeter. Sailor moon is a good bit deeper despite it's grade school feel.

wolfangel87

Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew are magical girl animes.  They each have underlying elemental themes and transformations that the heroine and her friends make.  A mysterious figure that continues to help the main character also appears in each to give her strength and courage to continue on her way.  Both are about saving the planet from an evil organization that is trying to corrupt it.  The characters each have parallels within them making the animes very similar to each other.

iKaity

Both animes are centered on a girl who one day finds out that the fate of the world rests in her hands. With the help of their friends they come to save the day!

If you like one, you'll like the other :)

Garylikesmanga

Romance is an underlying theme of both series. Both series are team based. The teams are made up of girls with mostly element based powers and they fight the monster of the week each episode. Both series have similar characters. Usagi and Ichigo are the lead characters. Both are lovestruck, and considerably ditzy. Mamoru and Masaya are the romantic interests of the main girls. Both are mysterious, brooding, and share a similar role. Ami is similar to Lettuce, the brainy, slightly reserved member of the team. Both share powers related to water. Rei and Mint are both externally abrasive, especially toward the lead character. Makoto and Pudding are comedic and athletic. Minako and Zakuro are both famous before joining their respective team. Both hide what they feel on the inside.

Magic Knight Rayearth

Magic Knight Rayearth main image

MKR is a Clamp anime about three girls who are taken from Tokyo during a school field trip, and transported into a fantasy world. Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuzaaki, and Fuu Hououji must fight a slew of enemies, overcome trials and tribulations, and face their inner demons to save Cephiro, a wonderfully detailed world, from a dastardly evil and powerful Priest, Zagato.

If you like Sailoor Moon then you must see Magic Knight Rayearth. they both have girls that figt for justice and meets the love of there life. they progress their magics and fighting style while they are traveling together. Magic Knigt Rayearth is played in fantasy wold, while Sailor Moon is palyed in Tokyo.
kamirura
Fighting girls with magical powers! That describes it all. But to make it a good recommendation I guess you wanna know more ^^ Magic Knight Rayearth is really close to Sailor moon though I think MKR contains much more magic than Sailor Moon and SM is not as serious as MKR. MKR got alot more fighting and not this boring "Crystal Moon Power" sreaming every second. I think you really should check it out if you liked Sailor Moon.
NekoRocket
As girls destined to fight discover a purpose to their conflict, determination and resolution are formed. This is the premise shared by Sailormoon and Magic Knight Rayearth -- self discovery while fighting the baddy of the day. Both of these series are classics in their own right, and should be enjoyed by anyone who likes magical girl series or just plain good anime.
LLORAtheLLAMA

Both have magical girl teams that are fighting for a purpose they believe in. The characters in Magic Knight Rayearth don't transform as they do in Sailor Moon, but if you like magical girl anime, Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon are good ones. Though, Magic Knight Rayearth is a little more serious than Sailor Moon. Go check out their adventure to bring peace!

fizrox

The idea of fighting girls using magical powers is mainly what those two series have in common. Apart from that, there is also this thing with hair color connected with battle style and love plot involved.

Shoutai

Both are great starter animes for any person just getting into the fandom. Both being from the magical girl genre, they sort of have the same feel and elements and somewhat similar story lines ("fight to save the princess").

My-Hime

My-Hime main image

Guided by a star only they can see, a group of maidens known as HiMEs have begun to gather at Fuuka Academy. These young women have been endowed with dangerous supernatural powers that they can use to their heart's content, but there's a price: to wield them, they must put their most important thing on the line. Now, in the midst of school work and friendships, they find themselves caught in the midst of strange conspiracies seemingly related to the terrifying monsters that attack them. Is the power of the HiMEs strong enough to save themselves and the ones they love?

Cheza
You like romance and action? Then both series is the right for you. Mai-Hime is more for older people as Sailor Moon but both series has nearly the same story. Girls fighting with magical power to save the earth. Mai-Hime has more action as Sailor Moon and a darker plot but you will like both of them.
clem
So you like young girls with magical powers? And you like a back love story and mysterious plot? Then both these series are for you. Since they are very similar in category and theme, be sure that if you watch one, you try the other!
wolfangel87

If you love romantic stories with a group of girls fighting with magical powers, both the Sailor Moon series and My-Hime are the shows for you. Both series are filled with action packed drama and fighting scenes in which the girls have to test their strengths and personal bonds to help everyone around them.

amtwister10

Girls with magical powers running about saving the world you kind of thing? If that's the case then you'd enjoy both of these series. Both anime include heroines battling for the side of good. With the perfect hint of comedy, loveable characters, and amazing plots you're bound to fall in love with these series.

LitaDee

My-Hime is the more grown-up, less repetitive cousin of Sailor Moon. Both series focus on a group of beautiful young girls with extraordinary hidden talents, fighting against dark forces. My-Hime has just as much drama, romance, mystery, and comic relief as Sailor Moon, with just enough more action to keep it all going. If you are a big Sailor Moon fan, you will find yourself quickly enveloped in this series.

PansySenpi

I would suggest this if you like salor moon because Mai at the beinging doesn't really know her power and but like Serna / Usagi with her friends she figures it out , though i can't say to much about the love i mean it's not like sailor moon there it's mostly fighting and her best friends...but otherwise this would be a AMAZING anime if you like some kind of fighting action but also cute scences

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch

One clear festive evening, Lucia, a mermaid princess, rescues a young boy from drowning. With him, she leaves the source of her beautiful singing voice: a pink pearl necklace. Several years later, Lucia has grown into a young woman, and embarks on a quest to the human world to reclaim her pearl and find her lost love.

If you liked Sailor Moon, try Mermaid Melody. This time, instead of saving the world, Mermaid Melody is about a mermaid princess trying to save the underwater world. It is similar in plot, where the good guy has to defeat the bad guy, but this time, it is with singing. The wonderful companions in Mermaid Melody are similar to Sailor Moon, and the romance between the main character and her loved one in Mermaid Melody is the same as in Sailor Moon.

dracoflame

Both Sailor Moon and Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch have overly sensitive and loud lead characters but the underlying love story in both is enough to draw you in.

cheerio

Both series feature girls fighting for peace and at the same time, pursuing thier own careers - as students, and eventually, as career women.

Trinityx94

When I watched Mermaid Melody, I couldn't help but notice how it reminded me of Sailor Moon but a little more modern and aimed at a younger audience. The romance, comedy, magic, mystery, transformations and search for allies is the same for both. If you enjoyed one, you'll definately enjoy the other.

If you've seen Sailor Moon I recommend it's little sister - Mermaid Melody. And if you've seen Mermaid Melody, I recommend it's older sister - Sailor Moon.

iKaity

Once again, another magical girl anime. These animes both have the magic, romance, and adventure that can keep anyone watching 'til the very end!

:)
