Sailor Moon is a magical girl anime about young girls that gain magical abilities (an cool costumes) and fight villains and monsters. It started out as a manga written by Naoko Takeuchi, and was given an anime that ran alongside it. I will be using the English names, with the Japanese names in parenthesis in this blog. I will mostly be talking about the original anime because I haven't seen the new Sailor Moon Crystal yet.

Sailor Moon is about a young schoolgirl named Serena (Usagi), who was just going about who normal life when a strange talking black cat named Luna. The cat gives her a locket that allows her to transform into Sailor Moon, and her job is to fight evil and find the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal. She soon meets other girls who join her and become Sailor Scouts (Sailor Senshi), and she later meets Luna's partner Artemis. They also have an ally in Tuxedo Mask, a mysterious man who helps them out whenever they need help during battle.

Digimon is a series that is very special to me. It's an action/adventure anime series about children getting paired up with digital monsters called Digimon.

There are currently eight series of Digimon: Digimon Adventure (THE original), Digimon Adventure Zero Two (the sequel season), Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier, Digimon Savers/Digimon Data Squad, Digimon Xros Wars/Digimon Fusion.

Besides the first two, these feature a different set of characters and have their own universes. I will be focusing on Digimon Adventure while also mentioning some of the others.
