2:17-2:20 – Minako is sleeping in bed. She squeezes Artemis (who is sleeping with her), thinking he is “Alan”.

2:24-2:27 – We see Minako holding Artemis up by his fur as she twirls the clock toward her.

After the above, while Minako changes in front of him, in the original Artemis says “My name is Artemis. I’m a tomcat who can understand the human language, and I can also speak it very well.”, but the dub instead has Mina go “I can't believe this! I'm gonna be so late, and I've got a math test first period! Artemis, why didn't you wake me up?!”

2:54-3:06 – Minako and Artemis leap off the ground; Minako shouts “Shortcut!”

3:14-3:28 – Artemis lands on the ground. Artemis looks up and we see an up-shirt shut of Minako, who lands right on top of him. Artemis crawls out from under Minako’s skirt and shouts “Heavy!”. She then hears the kindergartener-focus of this episode being abused and runs off to find her.

4:16-4:19 – A shot of the front of the bus Minako takes that kid to, and the name of it: “Shiba Kindergarten”. A man says “Thank you for bringing her all this way!” and the kindergartener says “Big sister, thank you!”

A shot of Usagi’s school from the front is replaced with the dub’s “Crossroads Junior High School” sign.

5:26-5:30 – A pan up Usagi’s body; she is carrying a bucket and a sign that says “I am always late for school!” (a form of punishment). The dub does show her lamenting about it with the strap of the sign around her neck, though.

5:51-5:55 – Natsumi appears in front of Seijuro after his speech to Usagi. We can see the sign and bucket that was cut just a few seconds ago.

HOWEVER, the dub leaves Alan walking away doing his “exercises” and the sign and bucket are clearly visible between 6:02 and 6:04. Maybe it was just a time cut?

6:09-6:12 – A cut of the sign up close after Usagi watches Ail walk away.

The dub moves a shot of Minako walking with Artemis on her arm at 6:44 to right before she hears the kindergartener’s cry for help. It was originally at 6:50, after the cry for help was heard.

At 9:57, right after Ail summons today’s Cardian, the dub adds a shot of it before we see the school bus.

12:13-12:19 – While talking to the kindergarteners, one of them says “I think you should be more realistic”, and another asks if Minako is going through a “hard time”.

12:36-12:39 – Artemis, in the kindergartener’s arms, saying that Minako “should have just left them alone”

16:36-16:42 – Artemis is smacked by the Cardian and falls to the floor.

At 18:03 right after Venus appears, the dub adds that shot of the Cardian’s face again before it gets up.
