To be honest, I don't think Toei is copying other anime. They're just "taking" popular motifs from anime that children and adults enjoy. Even though...Go! Princess flopped in that department as little girls like witches more than princesses XD

If we had a traditional Japanese season..that might not go well as lots of people go to anime for...non realism. Pretty Cure has some realism in there but they aren't going full on realistic. Even though...we will never know with Pretty Cure. Go! Princess was a hit with the Western fans but non as a hit in Japan (sales wise). Mahou Tsukai, hit in Japan (so far), bad with the Western fans. Traditional Japanese season: good with the Western fans, bad with the Japanese fans?
