   He was speaking so intelligently, but dressed so....   
      
   Thankfully, that is pretty much the worst we ever see Motoki, if I'm   
   remembering correctly.

   Emo.  She was dressed as a conservative (because it's Ami) Avril   
   Lavigne.  Black shirt, black and white tie and plaid skirt (I think   
   that's the correct description), very conservative, Avril-style emo.

   *lol*   
      
   I think it's important to point out that she put up a better fight than   
   the senshi that was supposed to be even more "awake", Sailor Venus.

   to me, the anime version of this scene was a lot better.  I felt zero   
   emotion during all of this.  :(

   See...I thought it was very bland.  I don't know why, it just didn't   
   really move me in any sort of way.  It was neat seeing them kneel, the   
   first time I saw it, but other than that...something just didn't feel   
   right to me about the whole scene.  I just don't think the actresses are   
   quite up to such an emotional scene just yet.  However, they've gotten a   
   lot better, and I know later they do a much better job.  So while it   
   fell flat for me, it was still nice enough.   
      
   Unfortunately, I think this is about where I stopped like the show   
   nearly so well.  Most of the focus starts going away from the other   
   girls (if I remember correctly) and focusing solely on Usagi, Mamoru,   
   and the "plot", which are the three things I'm least interested in in   
   this show.  The plot never made sense to me (perhaps this time I'll get   
   it), and Usagi and Mamoru were more enjoyable when they were teasing but   
   yet falling for each other.   
      
   But I'm just weird that way, I suppose. ^^;
