   I rather like how they cut Queen Serenity's head out of close up   
   pictures.  It almost seems to symbolize the holes still in the   
   memory...Or else they're just trying to be secretive about it.   
   Regardless, I really liked that aspect.

   I felt the emotion was just a tiny bit less than I remembered, but   
   still, it was a nicely done scene.   
      
   Zoicite's death was...I don't know.  I remember finding it more moving   
   many years ago.  This time, I just felt sort of strange.  The way he was   
   attacked by Beryl, the way he woke back up, something didn't sit right   
   with me.  But I did like Kunzite granted his request.  Sometimes Kunzite   
   seemed to be kind of indifferent to Zoicite's advances, but at least   
   this time he chose to be a bit gentler.   
      
   And with PGSM still fresher in my mind than the rest of the series, I   
   keep expecting Sailor Moon to go Princess Sailor Moon and blasting   
   things.  Cheesy as it may have been, that show was so cool!
