Saint Seiya and Sailor Moon VS Dragon Ball and Pretty Cure: Philosophy when animating fights

Post by Cure Dragon 255 » Thu Apr 27, 2023 4:55 am

I know this title will look pretty random to anyone not familiar with the other 3 anime but I decided to make this topic because all the involved series are so popular that at least ONE fan will be interested in this topic.

Now When people think of DBZ for Girls people tend to point to Sailor Moon (Or Inuyasha lol) because its the equivalent shojo demographic hit in terms of popularity... But Sailor Moon owes way more to Saint Seiya than it ever did Dragon Ball. The fights in Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya tend to be static and stock footage filled while Pretty Cure has more of a fight choreography like Dragon Ball does, the only stock footage is the finisher to kill the monsters of the week , it literally is Dragon Ball for girls in this aspect. What do you have to say about this observation?

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.
