I always saw it as

Mega Man: Astro Boy
Mega Man X: Casshan
Mega Man Legends: Future Boy Conan / Castle in the Sky (this one gets overlooked the most, I think)
What's most interesting is that, in America, Mega Man is probably more well-known than any of those properties. In Japan, the influence is much more inherently understood.
If you like Mega Man Legends, consider adding Future Boy Conan to your watchlist. The influence is apparent.
And, perhaps, Future Boy Conan continues to inspire video games even today.
Another example that popped in my head regarding Future Boy Conan influence is Wind Waker - glad I'm not the only one.

We've had how many Street Fighter adaptations now? And literally none of them have gotten the story right.

I screamed.
Another reminder that Japanese pro wrestling does "live-action anime" better than Netflix. These are the Tag Team champions. Image
This is team NEO Biishiki-gun from Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. TJPW is part of the WrestleUniverse streaming service, which is free for new subscribers until the end of the year. Please check it out here:

I recommend starting with "Wrestle Princess II". Image

omg #tjpw is actually trending, so I will help by live-tweeting tonight's show. To start, Kaya Toribami & Haruna Neko are teaming together today. A birdgirl and catgirl working together?! You will only see this in the world of #tjpw, folks
Their opponents are Arisu Endo and Suzume. You won't BEElieve what Suzume can do in the ring. Follow along to see what all the buzz is about. 🐝🐝 @suzume_tjpw #tjpw
@haruna_tjpw dodges a grapple attempt by Arisu Endo & COUNTERS with a double-pawed scratch to the face. When entering a combat sport against a catgirl, it's important to remember that their claws are considered a natural extension of their body, and thus, completely legal! #tjpw

I don't know who made this, but I'm now reminded every day that they've basically rewritten Naoko Takeuchi's personal history in the public consciousness for the sake of social media engagements with only a single post, and that's so bizarre. Is it that easy to do?
hold on, gang
By the time Naoko Takeuchi began Sailor Moon, she was already a well-respected award-winning artist, having already written three series along with a handful of one-shot stories. She also had many friends, which is what inspired her to write a girl team-up manga to begin with.
