   Really, the character designs for everyone for this season are   
   outstanding. The expressions on the faces of the girls during their   
   conversation at the cafe were so darn cute!   
      
   I think we can take two lessons from this episode. One is given by   
   Chibiusa to the chef, Ichiro, in front of Mayako's house. You are   
   never too old for love. The other lesson might be that you should not   
   put your dreams ahead of your love (which also shows us what's in   
   store for Motoki and Reika if they keep going the way they are).   
      
   Back in the day, when I was purchasing all sorts of Sailor Moon   
   goodies, I ended up with a Chibiusa/Diana cel from this very episode.   
   It's from the scene where Chibiusa and Diana are heading towards the   
   old lady's house, walking straight into the camera, with Diana on   
   Chibiusa's shoulder. What's more, I had purchased it from those kind   
   folks of Tomodachi Anime, that old fansubbing group from those good   
   old days of yore.

   It was good, much better then I remembered. The dub of this episode   
   added alot of extra dialog during scenes that were mostly silent. They   
   also spoiled Usagi's little "I will punish you" joke as she was   
   talking about the consequences Mamoru would suffer if the old woman   
   was attractive. The dub just had her saying random stuff which made   
   her "punish you" hand gesture meaningless. The SMU folks are of the   
   opinion that the script for this episode came from the 'bad' writer.

   But I did notice they were paired up in the ending credits, looking   
   over Chibiusa's shoulders as she is reading a book. Ami is blushing a   
   bit at the contents.

   HE didn't get much of a chance to prey on the old woman, but I'm sure   
   he had something cruel in mind.
