I grew up on sailor moon - I still love it to this day. In the way of "Magical Girl" or even anime where characters transform into different outfits these are some that I have watched and love: Kill La Kill, Princess Tutu, Mai Hime, Cardcaptor Sakura, Full Moon Wo Sageshite, Shugo Chara, Doremi, Pretear, Mermaid Melody, Kampfer, Tokyo Mew Mew. Stuff like that. I do want to watch Madoka cause people keep telling me it's pretty good, plus I enjoy darker themes in my anime. I also want to watch Precure - I haven't want any of those.

For Koharu and Sara I can't pinpoint any one show to pull inspiration from, I just like character that have depth to them - thus the broken household for Koharu and a possible conflict of what "justice" really is for Sara. I love drama and character growth.
