If you loved Sailor Moon's ragtag group of people who slowly become each other's whole world, Buffy the Vampire Slayer delivers exactly that. At its core, it's about characters making devastating sacrifices for people they love — and the aftermath. The pacing is emotionally heavy — you'll need to sit with it after.
Sailor Moon
Usagi Tsukino is a crybaby, a bad student, and a devoted friend who turns out to be a magical princess destined to save the world with her team of sailor guardians. Sailor Moon created the template for magical girl anime with emotional stakes and is one of the foundational works in the history of animation: a story about female friendship as the most powerful force in the universe, a romance between Usagi and Mamoru that the show makes you earn, and five seasons that span the full range from lighthearted episodic fun to genuinely devastating. The show that taught an entire generation of women that girls can save the world too.
