He enjoyed the blending of and shōjo styles and said the combat scenes seemed heavily influenced by, but shorter and less bloody. He also said the manga itself appeared similar to Super Sentai television shows. Thompson found the series fun and entertaining, but said the repetitive plot lines were a detriment to the title, which the increasing quality of art could not make up for; even so, he called the series 'sweet, effective entertainment.'
Thompson said although the audience for Sailor Moon is both male and female, Takeuchi does not use excessive for males, which would run the risk of alienating her female audience. Thompson said fight scenes are not physical and 'boil down to their purest form of a clash of wills', which he says 'makes thematic sense' for the manga.Comparing the manga and anime, Sylvain Durand said the manga artwork is 'gorgeous', but its storytelling is more compressed and erratic and the anime has more character development.

Cultural anthropologist said that soon after Sailor Moon, shōjo manga started appearing in book shops instead of fandom-dominated comic shops. The series are credited as beginning a wider movement of girls taking up shōjo manga. Canadian librarian defines a generation of anime fans as those who were introduced to anime by Sailor Moon in the 1990s, saying they were both much younger than other fans and were also mostly female.Historian credits Takeuchi with popularizing the concept of a Super Sentai-like team of magical girls, and Paul Gravett credits the series with revitalizing the magical girl genre itself. A reviewer for THEM Anime Reviews also credited the anime series with changing the genre—its heroine must use her powers to fight evil, not simply have fun as previous magical girls had done. The series has also been compared to,: 281.
Sailor Moon also influenced the development of, and.In, Sailor Moon is sometimes associated with the and movements and with empowering its viewers, especially regarding the 'credible, charismatic and independent' characterizations of the Sailor Soldiers, which were 'interpreted in France as an unambiguously feminist position'. Although Sailor Moon is regarded as empowering to women and feminism in concept, through the aggressive nature and strong personalities of the Sailor Soldiers, it is a specific type of feminist concept where 'traditional feminine ideals are incorporated into characters that act in traditionally male capacities'. While the Sailor Soldiers are strong, independent fighters who thwart evil—which is generally a masculine stereotype—they are also ideally feminized in the transformation of the Sailor Soldiers from teenage girls into magical girls, with heavy emphasis on jewelry, make-up and their highly sexualized outfits with cleavage, short skirts, and accentuated waists.The most notable hyper-feminine features of the Sailor Soldiers—and most other females in Japanese girls' comics—are the girls' thin bodies, long legs, and, in particular, round, orb-like eyes. Eyes are commonly known as the primal source within characters where emotion is evoked—sensitive characters have larger eyes than insensitive ones. Male characters generally have smaller eyes that have no sparkle or shine in them like the eyes of the female characters.
The stereotypical role of women in Japanese culture is to undertake romantic and loving feelings; therefore, the prevalence of hyper-feminine qualities like the openness of the female eye in Japanese girls' comics is clearly exhibited in Sailor Moon. Thus, Sailor Moon emphasizes a type of feminist model by combining traditional masculine action with traditional female affection and sexuality through the Sailor Soldiers. Its characters are often described with 'catty stereotypes', Sailor Moon's character, in particular, being singled out as less than feminist.In English-speaking countries, Sailor Moon developed a cult following among anime fans and male university students. Patrick Drazen says the was a new medium that fans used to communicate and played a role in the popularity of Sailor Moon.: 281 Fans could use the Internet to communicate about the series, organize campaigns to return Sailor Moon to U.S. Broadcast, to share information about episodes that had not yet aired, or to write. In 2004, one study said there were 3,335,000 websites about Sailor Moon, compared to 491,000 for. Gemma Cox of said part of the series' allure was that fans communicated via the Internet about the differences between the dub and the original version.
The Sailor Moon fandom was described in 1997 as being 'small and dispersed.' In a United States study, twelve children paid rapt attention to the fighting scenes in Sailor Moon, although when asked whether they thought Sailor Moon was violent, only two said yes and the other ten described the episodes as 'soft' or 'cute.'
