   So true. In fact, it is very difficult to even find a public phone now   
   (at least in my area of the US). Cellular phones were around at this   
   time, but they were still somewhat bulky and only a few businessmen   
   types had them. However, when I visited Japan in 2002, everyone had   
   them and even camera phones were everywhere to be seen.

   That confrontation between Seiya and Haruka always amused me.

   Uranus, I can understand. She is just naturally confrontational.   
   However, I'm disappointed that Neptune didn't follow Sailor Moon's   
   lead.   
      
   Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow have now made their appearance, although   
   they are still unnamed (we saw them only in silhouette earlier). Iron   
   Mouse does not have much longer to either produce or pay the price.

   BTW, I really, really hate the eyecatch for this season. It has   
   repeatedly trashed whatever solemn or deadly mood that was being   
   portrayed, especially in the concluding episodes.
