   Luna seems very happy to have a human form, although it’s odd that she’s   
   so young.  On the other hand, I rather liked the Rina in the role, she   
   was sweet.  Moreover, while it’s a cuteness overload, at least she   
   doesn’t have a bratty side like Chibiusa (sorry Phoenix) in R.   
   Moreover, I adored the part with the balls bouncing by when she was   
   trying to talk to Rei.  Very cute.  I know I get sick of her later on,   
   but for now, she’s a sugary addition that I don’t mind all that much.   
   Except for the henshin.  That's just wrong.

   Wouldn't surprise me.  He was giving her the "You're starting to look   
   like a nice choice" eyes when he went to reach for her cheek in that one   
   scene.  She shoulda kicked him, rather than just knocked his hand away.

   Well, Rei and Mako left the strange girl with Usagi.   
   Usagi...well...Usagi's kinda dumb, so it's really not all that   
   unexpected. ^_-   
      
   I thought Usagi did a pretty good job of covering up her lie, really.   
   Fairly convincing.  Or at least I'm going to keep telling myself that. ^_-

   My question is why doesn't she eat like that when she is a cat?  What's   
   up with the sudden sweet tooth?  And why is she a child, aside from   
   possible ratings stunt potential.

   Usagi's just not that bright.. ^^;

   That was one heartbreaking scream from her.  And she does technically   
   accomplish something during her emo time.  She nearly takes out Sailor   
   Moon all by herself.  None of the generals can say that, except for   
   Kunzite when he was trying to turn her into a youma (and Ami managed to   
   stop him).  For just being the brains behind the operation in many ways,   
   Mercury's actually a very good senshi when it comes to battle   
   (particularly emotional battles).
