Which when you get right down to it is still technically kind of animating each costume, just with a small practicality shortcut.
And results in a magical girl show that looks and is fundamentally overall better than sailor moon, the magical girl show from the 90s that gets undue overexposure when better Sakura falls by the wayside.
