someone had mentioned that 'buffy copied sailor moon', becuz they had the whole mysterious new family member thing (rini/dawn). also, angel/tuxedo mask is the tall, dark, mysterious *older* guy who the protagonists eventually ends up getting to together with. as well, there is the watcher/guardian: giles/luna. and the whole 'chosen one' thing.
i don't think buffy copied sailor moon, but there just happens to be a lot of parallels, mostly becuz of archetypes in literature. but the mysterious family member thing is a bit odd... in both cases, the protagonist (buffy/serena) actually did not have the relative before, but through magic and trickery, all of a sudden, all these fake memories and photographs appear. and the new little sister/cousin is a brat! also, in both sailor moon and buffy, the mysterious dark lover turns evil at one point! and then he turns good again.

That's true, but I wouldn't say that they *copied* each other. Rini is from the future, while Dawn is, well, a ball of light. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon stay together, while Angel branches off into a whole new show. (Can you imagine a show like "Tuxedo Mask : R"? ;D) And it's not like Buffy has to say something like "Moon Prism Power" to become a superhero. She's like that normally. If you look deeper into literature and other sources, you could even say that Sailor Moon copied someone else, and so on. Anyway, isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

oh yeah, and both luna and giles are "british" (well, in the dub).
and both rini and dawn have a lot of hidden energy/power (in smr).
and both shows have a monster of the day/youma.
and at the end of each season, they defeat the ultimate evil monster/bad guy.

Buffy's seventh and final season will be ending soon. Angel will most likely continue, but that's not confirmed as of yet. Don't forget to catch the last few episodes (the season finale is in May) on UPN, or YTV, The NewVR, or any other channel.
Oh yeah, I thought of another parallelism: Buffy and Sailor Moon both die! More than once...
