   This is one of my more favorite episodes. Cosplay, gameplay, poignant   
   drama and lighthearted comedy all woven into one Ami-centric episode.   
      
   For someone who was initially reluctant, Ami sure knows how to make an   
   entrance.

   Now that you mention it, the art *was* different. I don't recognize   
   any of the cosplay outfits.

   Rei and Minako showing up for the fight in cosplay was pretty darn   
   funny (and, I would think, rather dangerous given that would make them   
   more vulnerable to injury).

   That was my thought as well.   
      
   BTW, maybe it is because she has been brainwashed too many times about   
   who her children are, but it still seems irresponsible for Ikuko-mama   
   to let a 2 year old wander around the streets of Tokyo unsupervised   
   whenever she wants.   
      
   Chibi-chibi's house slippers have Chibi^2 (Chibi-squared) on them in   
   English.   
      
   There are some nice Mako-Ami moments as Jupiter comes to Mercury's   
   defense at the last moment.   
      
   And now that censer thing is introduced, which always seemed like an   
   odd story element to me.
