Magical Girls exists before Sailor Moon but let´s say that modern magical girl teams were stereotypized by Sailor Moon. Pretty Cure is more specific with the references (Melody´s pose, Peach´s design, Lemonade´s Prism Chain, etc. I understand, but then how is that not copyright? Even if they have different themes and characters, etc, if they have specific moments, how is that okay? Sorry, this may be a stupid question If you're talkin Sailor Moon, that's cuz both Sailor Moon and Precure are made by Toei Animation. This gives Precure the ability to legally reference Sailor Moon, since they're made by the same company.

Same goes for one season of Precure referencing other seasons of Precure - all Precure seasons are made by the same company, and they're all under the same franchise. So they can reference each other no problem. They're all made by the same company? Wow, I had no idea...that's amazing, especially when you compare how much the animation has come since then Um... Why wouldn't you assume that all Precure seasons are made by the same company? Assuming the opposite is just plain weird. Um...no...I meant that it was surprising that Sailor Moon and Precure were made by the same company...obviously? I thought that was clear. I mean, all the Precure shows say the company at the beginning of each episode...so it's pretty obvious...yeah Oh. I was confused since you said "They're all", which implied all the seasons... Perhaps you should've used "They're both", as "both" equals "two".
