If you missed Sailor Moon, you should see these 10 movies.

The shojo series by Naoko Takeuchi integrates these aspirations into a single story and changes the world of manga and anime forever. Its heroine, Usagi Tsukino, battles dark forces with magical elements while balancing between her life as an apprentice and other missions to save the world. The series features a troubled teenager who is destined for enlightenment, awakens as a wizarding warrior, unites with the Sailor Guardians in order to create a mysterious cosmic mythology from which she will be able to protect the Earth, re-establish civilization and rule over the heavens.

This pattern defined the magical girl subgenre and paved the way for other series to explore and even evolve. Today, looking back at Sailor Moon doesn't really satisfy fans, so many naturally start searching for something similar: a 10th grader from Source-Solution searches for the magic girl template by bending, glittering or darkening it.

Pala Maggi Madoka Magi transforms a wish into an agreement.

Madoka Kaname awakens from a girl's nightmare after losing in a hopeless battle with a ruined city. The next day, the same girl, Homura, arrives at Mitakihara Middle School as an exchange student and warns Madoka to continue living just like her. Soon, Madoka and his friend Sayaka meet Kyubey where they both sign a contract and are given a wish if they fight witches who spread despair.

The plot begins closely with the setting of Sailor Moon, in which ordinary girls gain powers to fight supernatural threats. However, Homura's warning suggests that the contract hides something far worse than anyone would admit: Madoka and Sayaka must balance their desires with consequences they never expected.

While the transformation sequences, surreal battles and solid friendships all remain, they sit within a darker narrative about hope, sacrifice and despair. Fans who love Sailor Moon's foundations find themselves reshaped into something more mature in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Image cards from the source also mention Studio Shaft, SHAFT. They show actors posing in front of a tree and describe Madoka as endlessly refracted in Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising, noting that Kyubey sits still.

Cardcaptor Sakura takes her quest for magic lightly.

Sakura Kinomoto is a schoolgirl who skates and finds in her basement a book of magic cards called Clow Cards. She accidentally scatters them all over her hometown, and the cards cause trouble for her neighbors. Her awakened magic tasks her to track each one.

Cardcaptor Sakura belongs to the same genre as Sailor Moon, so both use similar connotations. The heroines are sweet and kind, wear cute outfits, possess magic wands, and sometimes face mad villains.

Both are also notable for their early and positive depictions of same-sex relationships. Sailor Moon provided viewers with a relationship between Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, despite dub censorship; Cardcaptor Sakura portrays Tomoyo's one-sided romance without being tragic or tragic.

In the source's image log, Madhouse is featured and Sakura Kinomoto in her transformation sequence; Cardcaptor Clear Card Arc S1E04 features Pastel Lotus Cotume and Platinum Star Dress.

Ore, the magical girl who creates change as a gender drama.

Saki Uno dreams of becoming a Pop Idol, but her career goes nowhere. Then it is revealed that her mother once worked as a magical girl and the task has been handed over to her.

The series works as a meta-comedy: Dark Magical Girls, a newer trend that has been pushed to comedic extremes. Sailor Moon previously explored sexual flexibility through Sailor Starlights; thus Saki's transformation can be considered a reimagining of an older idea.

Shogo Chara: Finding Yourself

Amu Hinamori looks cool and hot on the outside, but inside she's shy and awkward. She wants to be brave enough to show her true self so three magical eggs appear in our bed; they hatch as guardian fairies called Shugo Chara, each representing a version of who she could become.

With her powers, Amu is transformed by joining forces with the Guardians, a popular student council respected at her school. The two work together to free people's hearts from the X-Eggs. Shugo Chara starts off with a clear goal, but the story soon changes and nothing is as simple as it initially seemed.

A journey of self-discovery reminiscent of Usagi's development in Sailor Moon, as Amu struggles with her own insecurities and discolorations while bringing the same ancient charm to bear.

Star Driver puts Mecha in the frame of a magical girl

Takuto Tsunashi arrives at Southern Cross Isle and attends the local high school, where some of the students are members of the Glittering Crux Brigade, a secret organization that flies giant Cybodies on an alternate surface called Zero Time.

Star Driver combines mecha action with magical girl elements. The anime's soundtrack swings between hopelessness and childish awkwardness. Each of the four brides in the anime receives a song that marks the transition to Zero Time.

Witch Watch creates a fictional story around one of the onion protectors.

Nico Wakatsuki is a teenage witch who returns to the human world after completing her training in magic. As per an ancient agreement between two families, she has appointed childhood friend Morihito Otogi as her guardian.

Nico wants to help people with her magic, but the weakness of her skills derails his tactics. A classmate once asked him to disappear at any time when he left the classroom and went to the bathroom, to which he responded with a magical spell that would preclude his existence until he held a specific finger gesture. When things go wrong, Morihito intervenes in order to deal with confusion, often taking his task seriously.

Witch Watch is a romantic comedy that may sound familiar, but its good storytelling and madness are fresh to the concept. Fans of witches will enjoy an enthralling series in which a fairy and her protectors settle into school life and learn what love really means as time goes on.

In the land of zombies, Saga turns death into sculptural comedy.

Ten years later, she wakes up as a zombie. Manager Kotaro Tatsumi recruits her and six other dead girls to form the Franchouchou idol group.

The Zombie Land Saga is a comedy adapted from the horror plot.

The girls do Kotaro-inspired jobs, even performing in chicken costumes in an early episode, but they encounter more strangers, including a head-on confrontation with a cop whose role is bigger than expected.

Yumeginga Paradise is a Japanese anime film that was released in Japan on August 21, 2012.

Jinshu rewrites her favorite movie and pays tribute to the actors.

Natsuko Hirose, a talented animator who can't find the spark for another project, dies suddenly from food poisoning and wakes up during her childhood favorite movie A Tale of Perishing. As her favorite characters head towards their tragic end, she draws new plots to rewrite their fates.

Zenshu transformed this idea into a tribute to the animation industry. Viewers could see the passion behind each frame, as well as the hardships experienced by the animators. Later episodes even referenced popular series such as Tiger Mask and Sailor Moon.

MAPPA is also featured in Zhengzhou's image archive, where a caption depicts the young Natsuko smiling and handing out a pencil in chapter 11.

Pretty Cure solves the code name problem

Nagisa and Honoka are two seemingly opposite girls who encounter mysterious fairies that allow them to transform into legendary warriors called the Pretty Cure. Their appearances are so different from their everyday lives that no one can make a mistake. The heroines of Sailor Moon change slightly beyond their outfits, making it somewhat difficult to believe in their secret identities.

This distinction is important because in the original Sailor Moon, the characters are almost identical but we never know who their true heroes are. Pretty Cure solves the puzzle by giving each warrior a dramatic new look.

The series has kept fan service to a minimum. Short skirts come under shorts or frilly layers, making the action scenes more appropriate. Pretty Cure is perfect for viewers who enjoy anime with minimal awkward fanservice.

Toei Animation is featured in the original of the image. The caption also includes the words Cure White, Black Pretty, Futari Wa, Nagisa and Misumi Honoka.

Flip-flappers are back in the playbook of transformation.

Cocona is an ordinary schoolgirl who meets a girl named Papika, and together they descend through a secret cave into a dimension called Pure Illusion. They explore the strange world in search of crystals that give them energy -- nothing as it seems because every friend or enemy has a secret.

Flip Flappers knows where its roots are. Its transformations seem to be borrowed from Sailor Moon. The changing camera movement is quite modern, and even a slight posture in the anime reminds us of Usagi's transformation.

The Bible says: "The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate".

The value for readers is not only that these ten series are similar to Sailor Moon; each one presents a different direction of the genre: Puella Magi Madoka Magica darkens desire, Cardcaptor Sakura retains adventure lighting; Magical Girl Ore turns transformation into comedy; Shugo Chara connects power with self-discovery; Star Driver adds mecha and Witch Watch infuses protective oni with loving slapstick; Zombie Land Saga makes death an initiate of a god community; Zenshu himself creates emotional entertainment; Pretty Cure adapts secret-identity metaphysics; Flippers revisits adaptation style.
