Buffy-Yohko devil hunter

Some people say even Sailor Moon for Buffy,altough Sailor Moon came out around the same time of the Buffy movie

reply

He's said before where his inspiration for Buffy came from.He basically said he had seen so many horror movies where the beautiful blonde girl is portrayed as the dumb victim.He wanted to break that stereotype and make the beautiful blonde girl the heroine.

Still he could've ripped off the details from anime.

Why must it always be a "rip off" with you people? Can it not be "inspired by" or "an homage to"?
