   But still, they got rid of the lame blimp, so I'm happy for the change.   
   ^_-  A much better opening overall.  Prettier, which is good.   
      
   Nice enough episode, it was good to see Urawa do his best to fight   
   against the youma inside of him.  I always rather liked that part, and   
   Urawa's a pretty sweet kid.

   I greatly prefer the song, and the animation.  Shadow Girl Princess   
   Serenity is a bit creepy, but at the same time I really got locked into   
   the fluid movements of the dress.  So...lighthearted and joyous?  Maybe   
   that's just me.   
      
   And for the obligatory Ami-Mako pairing discussion.  First, there is a   
   nice amount of interaction between the two early in the episode, and I   
   was rather happy to see them playing with a ball together with two other   
   girls.  It seems funny that Ami was so much more carefree about having   
   fun when Makoto was around.  After all, hadn't she just taken books to   
   the beach a few episodes ago?  And now she's playing a game on school   
   grounds.  Our little girl is growing up and getting a life.  Is this   
   Usagi's doing, or Makoto's? ^_-   
      
   As for Urawa-Ami... I kind of got the feeling she had a strong case of   
   "flattery."  She shows no real nervousness around Urawa that would imply   
   crush feelings (let's face it, anime character or not, you're likely to   
   get nerves around the person you like, particularly when you're 13).   
   That isn't to say she doesn't like him, and perhaps towards the end   
   likes the idea of a romantic relationship.  However, I wonder how much   
   of that might have been due to being flattered that he idolized her so   
   very much.  Only time will tell (especially since I've forgotten a lot   
   of the specifics of the first season, and can't remember much about   
   Urawa's next episode.)   
      
   Anyway, we're getting caught up slowly.  We're hoping to watch another   
   episode tonight, and two tomorrow to get back on the ball.  Busy weekend   
   and all.
