Description

... but really its not too far off, is it?
Soul Gems ---> Sailor Crystals: The Sailor Crystals practically serve as a Sailor Senshi's soul, as well as power source. Yaten even stated that the physical body is unimportant, all that matters is the Sailor Crystal. Very similar to what Kyubee tells Sayaka.
Witches ---> Youma: While most of the Sailor Moon monsters are beyond goofy (I'm lookin at you Ponko), there are plenty that can be genuinely terrifying and dangerous. Also, even though its played for laughs, the monsters are still aiming to maim and kill not only the Senshi but civilians too.
On that note the Sailor Senshi do die, and in rather harsh ways. Sure they come back to life eventually, but that doesn't make their deaths any less horrifying to experience. Besides, Walpurgisnacht? The Senshi have also prevented world devastation.. 3 or 4 times. ('Cept when they didn't *cough* Crystal Tokyo *cough*)
So, Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica show a very similar set of events, just with one emphasizing despair and fear and the other love and friendship.
Except lucky for Sailor Moon, Luna isnt a creepy little prick.

“Seeing your friends die repeatedly, having to deal with monsters every night, having to deal with the pressure of being some sort of messiah when you’re just a girl who feels she has no special talents, and the people who love you seem unsympathetic when you crack under all the pressure because they nitpick your flaws or how you sometimes just can’t DO things normal girls take for granted or don’t even have to think about. Sailor Moon has it just as bad as we do, when you really think about it. At least Galaxia and Chaos were the LAST threats Sailor Moon had to fight. If she had to fight forever, anyone would crack. Hell, Cosmos was getting close…”
