   I seem to remember that this was the main argument used by the more   
   reasonable critics of Chibiusa (other then those folks just doing it   
   for the fun of the argument). I do remember having alot of fun back in   
   those days arguing her merits and faults back and forth.

   Yes, during the kiss, Darien almost immediately accused her of chewing   
   caramel bubblegum which had caused their mouths to get stuck together,   
   thus explaining the long kiss.

   I suppose it's just a mild version of Japanese censorship.   
      
   Heh, did anyone catch the two boys staring up Cooan's skirt as she   
   checked the kids' foreheads for the crescent moon symbol? And another   
   one nearby picking his nose?   
      
   And finally, here is someone cosplaying as Cooan at AX

   There's also Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, Queen Neherenia and the   
   first and only Moonlight Knight I've ever seen.
