| Eh, Everything is very disorganized right now. Sorry about that! This is re-review, btw. black and red, same as last time. No really drastic layout changes. Why doesn't she have a skirt? Looks good though. I really dislike drop down menus, and it's not needed with this layout. The MIDI is by choice, good, cause I'm listening to Jrock now. Nobody likes reading profiles, they are boring, even if the information is new. Time powers? boring. I don't like the back button. The circle thing could be centered. Reading the second one, there doesn't seem to be anything super original here. Pandora gave me two popup errors. that font is a bit too dark. The mouse over was totally a surprise. This is in two column, which confuses me, so just make it like the others. Didn't I say that in the first review? I'm not actually reading any of this, I don't like fan senshi. The images have fast thumbnails, great. They are very good, except for the fact that they look exactly like the real senshi. These aren't just altered and recoloured, are they? There looks to be a lot of wasted space on the fanart page. There is too much stuff on the M page. get rid of the MIDI, counter, links and back button. Why do the fics have such a right margin? |
| Well, that's a bad thing. I got a server error, then the page was [not responding]. I suspect it's all the MIDIs. No one likes them anyway. |
| What the heck is with that margin? There are too many characters going on in Relations for me too read. Good job on the analysis though. Font is too dark in mythology, let's have some consistency, kay? Why is it only for pandora? The Rant is a rant in that it's pretty angry. You might want to write that in a more professional manner. Okay, according to this you are over at Otaku Inclination, which is the next review this week. yay. The contest page looks so plain. Where are the products of past winners? It's pretty pointless to not showcase the winners, i mean why have a contest in the first place? get rid of the counter! you only need one on the splash! None of the polls work, the title is ugly, just trash it. The star bg on awards isn't meant for this page, nothing should cover it. |
| Okay, that margin is bugging me. The text is centered, but it's on the left side of the page. wweeiirrdd...it doesn't look bad, it's just that I've never seen that before. I still don't like awards. >.< we've reviewed you twice, gonna review your other site, and we aren't linked?! how disapointing! hhmm looking at NeoAngel Reviews, you are on the team. You like originality, eh? The buttons for the site are not standard, some people won't use them. 88 x 31. It's got your old homestead addy, not the .tx one. The quick form is cool. |
| Overall, this is pretty much the same site I reviewed previously. I don't see any major changes, but that's most likely due to changes being technical stuff. The site seemed to run smoother than before, and I know this review was less agravating. so yeah, there was improvement, I just can't say where. You might wann invest in colours besides black and red. |

Splash- As pointless as ever. Although, I do so love the font.
Layout - Cheesy Chika picture. Hn, this layout look familiar. Not the pictures, just the evil not on midi and the place where all the text is, and the dropdown menu. Oh, that's why. It's a rereview. I can't keep these straight anymore. I'm not to fond of the skirt-less girl, but she's drawn quite well. And it fits because it's red.
Places Aian doesn't go - Contests, Polls, Awards, Links, Links to PB, Webrings, Thank you akk, PB Updates, About me, Contact me.
Profiles - This doesn't look like it's changed... Okay, so it hasn't changed. At least, from what I remember. And the evil midis are everywhere...Neriede has no profile, eh Pet? *Grins* Ah, you've added "mis-spelled purposely". Always helpful, to those of us who are sticklers of proper japanese. *rolls her eyes* I really have to stop that.
Images - The opening of another window is annoying. You should just have the image pop up int he current window.
BSSM Fanart - Still basic Otaku Senshi requests fanart page. Hmm, if you're going to call is 'BSSM' maybe you should have some BSSM, and not just BSSM M?
BSSM M - Still the ever so original title for the story. Am I going to read it, am I? Er, no.
Relations - This is new. I don't remember this from the last time. Wow, nice descriptions of the relationships, although it seems like you're giving away parts of the story. Then again, I haven't read it, so what do I know?
Senshi Mythology -Still the same, and I still like it.
Request a Senshi - Still haven't gone by Otaku Inclinations.

Splash:
- I really don’t think the splash is needed
- I don’t know if it’s the font, or if you actually spelled Pandora wrong, because on the splash image it looks like “Pardora”
- I don’t understand why people have such problems with the words “viewed” and “view” you spelled them both wrong on the splash and main page (twice on the main page), the rule is “i before e except after c”
Main:
- The layout, though simplistic was nice, except for the drop down menu and the (argh) spelling mistake
- Well done fanart is always a treat to look at (I like the fanart)
- I hate avoidable left/right scrollers
- At least it’s optional to play the music on the main page, but I’ve still learned to dislike midis
Profiles:
- The midis, though different were still very much annoying, and once you start the midis they turn into a hideous loop
- It might be helpful to have more than just a silhouette of your characters on the page (though the silhouettes are pretty)
- This section still has some capitalization issues, spelling issues and grammar issues
- I still don’t understand why Charon can use time stop and Pluto cannot
- No back buttons on individual profiles
- Profiles written in interesting way, I was especially interested in the way you described the attacks
- Put up info on Apollo other then just the fact that he’s an animal guide!
- Still no profile for Neriede, I’m starting to suspect that you didn’t change much of anything except the layout
Fanart/Images:
- No gripes here, real thumbnails and ALT text
Sailor Moon M:
- Automatically playing midis for each episode (ugh…) I usually don’t like to listen to music when I read at all
- Please don’t write like this “exCHAnge stuDEnt” no matter what you’re trying to emphasize, try italics
- Like the layouts for the individual episodes
- Fanart is okay, seems to have direction
Relationships:
- I like, the one word describing Pandora’s relationship with another senshi, that was a plus and made me want to read it more
Senshi Mythology:
- Short and back button doesn’t work
Lori-Chan’s Rant:
- Rant, while well founded was poorly written, should maybe be in misc. section
Contest:
- have links to the winning pieces of fanart and fanfic
- interesting contest, but I honestly wonder if anyone will apply
Polls:
- All dead when I checked them out
Links/Link to me:
- A link to “I Review” would be nice since this is the second time we are reviewing your site
- At least you have a standard sized button now
Profile:
- same ironic mistake of “peice” in the paragraph about checking your story for errors
Overall:
- unique senshi names
- Almost no back buttons
- You only need one counter on either the splash or main page
- I’m starting to feel repetitive in my comments, submit again when you have more significant changes. I could see almost no changes done to your site, it still looks very cut and paste like, the only significant difference is a new layout.
¤ Hmm well there is not really a reason to have a splash, but since you do have a larger resolution notice, it keeps this from becoming completly pointless. Graphics are a bit lacking.
¤ For a fansenshi site the graphics are satisfactory yet very very simple. The midi/ wav is cued on stop so I can't complain, though most people don't bother to use them so they basically eat server space. The main page is rather bare, instead of using a drop down menu I think listing them or perhaps adding some js or dhtml effects would be more impressive overall. I use 1024 x 768 and was disappointed to see that you did not the entire width of the screen. No updates listed so I can't tell if anything has been added since the last review...
¤ I must say that I am fed up of seeing 9-11 tributes since several nations have to deal with attacks everday and this has become so comericalized. The background should be black in order not to appear so stark with the black on the white. Also, the poem should be linked with a self target, a new window is uneeded.
¤ In the profiles, the theme of the graphics is not consistent with the splash and main. Also, what is the 'M' Saga (Sailor Moon M); what does the M stand for?
¤ I don't remember if I said this in my last review, but the names don't really have much to do with the character (which is a shame since Naoko-san put a lot of effort into relating personality with name). Somehow a pink haired senshi with sea green eyes does not seem suffieciently melancholy for me, but this is just a personal opinion. Since Charon is the embodiment of melancholia in this group, why does Miranda have a power dealing with it (Melancholy Kiss); also, Charon is usually associated with memory loss so it's strage she has a power dealing with it. I liked the fact Miranda is dealing with innocence, it's reminecent to Miranda from "The Tempest" who was innocent as fair as the ways of the world were. The Neriede profile is still not up (I don't remeber it being up last time either, if I am not mistaken). Conformity is good; keep the layout for the profiles similar, don't make Pandora's be different from the others'. Some minor grammatical errors (mispelled is one word). Overall I don't see any additions since the last reveiw...
¤ The images in the gallery need to be divided in a way that the characters are specificed since we don't of the top of our heads know who the image is of. The alt tags are entirely too long, limit them to one or two words at most. Also, the links opening in a new window is a bit aggravating but nothing major.
¤ The top part of the fanrt (done by you) should be in the previous gallery; the second gallery irrelevant to the site, but can pass of as it is since it deals with fan senshi.
¤ The only problem with the episodes page is that the links to the lyrics, images, and profiles text links are out of place, otherwise this page is satisfactory.
¤ The relationships page is a bit lengthy; I suggest splitting it so that the real senshi are one page and the fansenshi on another. Also the page becomes text heavy, but overall the paragraphs are brief and to the point.
¤ Again as I said last time, a bit more relating the mythology of the other senshi would be nice (i.e. Charon Neride and etc.). The back button is rather large and has a white border on the right and bottom. Do not switch the font wieght and color so much (as it gives the page an unorganized look).
¤ The bit about the fonts mentioned previously caries on for the the 'rant' section. Also, teh text is aligned next to the window which makes it appear cramped. Only thing I would suggest that you do is to link to PSP, Corel, Gimp and the other programs you used so that it is easier for people interested in aquiring these programs.
¤ For the 'requests' page, adding the links to the sites would be helpful. Also I do not understnad why there is a banner for 'Otaku Inclinations' (unless that happens to be your site? I'm confused).
¤ Time for a new contest.
¤ None of the three polls load.
¤ In your menu, I would change the 'things for webmistresses' to webowners or authors since there is a large number of webmasters too... In the awards main page, instead of using teh buttons I would use picture links in the same text as the title to keep conformity. Good, the links for the url to the site who presented you the award is listed and fast loading text links.
¤ The links page is also text heavy but the links are cleanly organized. The first link is not standard size but the second is which is good. NOthing to say about the webrings.
¤ I mentioned this before but being as that you mentioned that you were using a 1024 x 768 resolution I assumed that you would utalize the entire screen width. The thanks and kuddos pages is all justified left and rather plain; some lacking asthetically.
¤ Updates is satisfactory. As is the about me part. The contact me page does not load.
¤ Overall I was dissapointed to find only a small portion of the screen was utalized. The graphics are nice but more are needed otherwise the pages become very text heavy. Margins are needed on the left in order to leave keep the text from looking cramped. As far as coding, this page is very basic, but that is not alwyas a bad thing. Sorry if I seem dull but frankly I am sick an am not in my regular witchy mode.
