User blog comment:Precure2013/Is the anime Pretty Cure better? Or Sailor Moon better?/@comment-25034020-20190422115427

As someone who was introduced to Pretty Cure via Sailor Moon, I don't really know which is better.

Sailor Moon, first of all is OLDER and based off a manga. It had a pre-existing story that the anime could take notes off and follow. Pretty Cure is an original story - it has nothing to really follow.

But if I had to pick one I prefer, it's definitely Pretty Cure. And mostly because it is more entertaining. The filler episodes are aren't too boring and can be extremely fun. The battles are more dynamic and interesting. While Sailor Moon's filler episodes can be very hit or miss and the battles aren't dynamic. I won't hold this against Sailor Moon though because I am sure it was hard to do fist fights on paper back in the day. Pretty Cure is probably done with digital stuff now, so Toei can go crazy with the battles - so I can't compare these two exactly. They're both entertaining in diffeent ways, just that Pretty Cure has more dynamic fights.

But Sailor Moon is still a good show in its own right, and Crystal, despite the bad animation in season 1 and 2, it was more like the manga - fast paced and straight to the point. I know there are some who probably prefer this. Cause not everyone is a fan of filler. And I can say, in terms of Sailor Moon - I definitely prefer Crystal's pacing over the 90s, because the 90s filler was...bland and tedious to get through. So I am grateful that Crystal exists XD

On the flip side Pretty Cure does good fillers so I don't mind going 10 or so episodes with not a lot of "new" happening there.

In terms of characters, yeah this is not fair. I can see everyone going for Pretty Cure, cause of how it switches the cast every season before they get too boring. Pretty Cure has amazing casts but Sailor Moon has an amazing cast as well. I love the inner senshi and the outer senshi. These characters don't get boring at all despite having to see them a lot over the course of 5 seasons XD Pretty Cure and Sailor Moon's cast is amazing, hands down.
