   Is it just me, or in this opening, is Usagi a lot more melancholy than   
   before?  Sailor Moon still seems cheerful enough, but Usagi looks rather   
   sad.   
      
   If you listen to how the names are said, it’s clearly Ali and En.  Ugh,   
   the puns.   
      
   It’s been two months since the end of Episode 46.  Usagi is 14 and in   
   the eighth grade.  She’s in class 2-1 under poor Haruna-sensei while Ami   
   is in class 2-5.  Usagi knows of Ami by reputation, but not much more,   
   it seems.  The look on Ami’s face when Usagi soaks the teacher is priceless.   
      
   Usagi’s grades have not improved.  30 points… ouch.  She has clearly   
   resumed the adversarial relationship with Mamoru.   
      
   A meteor (not a Rotting Potato of Doom, though that would be much   
   cooler) falls in the middle of the city, then promptly flies away to   
   find an apartment.  Why?  Because meteors have trouble booking motel   
   rooms without proper ID, of course, so there wasn’t time for shopping   
   around.  ^_^;   
      
   All of the girls, plus Mamoru end up going out to investigate.  Usagi   
   ends up between Ami and Makoto, and is hit by a sense of déjà vu.   
      
   It’s kinda funny how jealous Ann gets over Ail paying attention to   
   Usagi, then promptly starts following Mamoru home.  Well, okay, I’m not   
   sure funny is the word I’m looking for here.   
      
   Of course, the first one goes after Naru.  How could it not?  Even   
   Luna’s noticed at this point.  ^_^   
      
   Luna is at her most admirable here.  She’d do just about anything to   
   keep from having to take Usagi’s wish away from her, but in the end, she   
   and Artemis are just no match for that thing.   
      
   Usagi understands, I think, both that Luna didn’t want to do it, and   
   what she’s just lost.  That sad little smile, “So, at least we can talk   
   again now, right?”  She doesn’t want to do it again, but she will.   
   After it’s all done, she sadly bids farewell to the normal life she had   
   wished for.   
      
   I love this closing song.  That is all.
