Title 287

theme: amazoness quartet
hmm there is huge improvement from the last time I reviewed this place. excellent layout and graphics.
I'm skimming info to avoid spoilers. It doesn't read like boring info, it's like reading the story, good job. the quotes are exactly super-cool or inspirational so I don't see the point of having so many. *shrugs* it's something to put in a shrine, though. attacks are neat. you could cite where/when they are used. info not available? eh? c'mon, how old is this shrine, and you haven't gotten around to it yet? slacker. okay, thumbnails, windows..la..that's the thing with reviewing good sites, ain't much to say. those pink bars get annoying. the quizes are deceptively simple, yes? nice prize, showing the site link of the winner. hey, it's our former Aino! *waves* argh, a text file fanfic. I don't like reading text files. i'm really grateful you don't have a 'please submit your work!' message. ugh. don't use abbreviations in links, just say webring. *clicks around* where...? oh. make the join link WAY more obvious. the polls have such dull questions. an ass-load of awards, yippee. -_- no one cares. honestly. hey, why the heck is your updates page so low? it should be the first link I see! you really shouldn't have more than two sisters. it defeats the purpose having sisters at all, because then it's just another link list. sisters are supposed to be special sites, where you're friends with the owner or something. dag, look at all those WPRs...cool banners, but what happens when you change layouts? aha, you cheatah you, you work at two WPRs, one sucky and one dead. indeed! the link colours in the gb are terrible. gosh, i am so sick of seeing parapara_aq@hotmail.com everywhere! (ew, is that mandy whore?) anyway.
Overall, much improvement since last time. It needs more MEAT content since half the links were just fluff, aka places aian dont go, aka extra crap. so add more relevant content and opinions.

¤ Layout is elegant enough, The main picture is nice. The navigation images maps and title picture need to be aliased. Instead of having a sappy and pointless intro, an informative paragraph with updates or the like would be more helpful.
¤ The 'information' section has horrednous grammer especially in the intro. I was under the impression that Zirconia was a guy in the anime. You don't give any information leading up to the anime or manga sections. Do NOT start en medea res! Episode numbers and Tankoboun numbers are also needed. The summaries are entirly too brief. You don't describe any of the quirks of the quartet. I thought this was an Asteriod Senshi site. This is merely another Amazoness Quartet shrine. Double-checking of sources is direly needed.
¤ In the quotes, globs should be globes. Is there a reason as to why there is a picture randomly placed midway through the section?
¤ The acts in which the attacks are used needs to be listed. Provide more information! Why is there no information on the anime? You never stated this was a site soley dedicated to the manga.
¤ Argh! All of these sections graze the material. DEPTH is needed. Develop you assertions; haven't you English teachers told you to always elaborate? EXPOUND! You could mention that Demeter's daughter was Persephone. Don't use a metaphor like 'tough-cookie' twice in one paragraph. The English language has a vast vocabulary, use it. Why is there no information on some of the senshi? There is not excuse not to have information since it is avaliable on 193483 other Amazoness Quartet sites. Spitting out comments? What? Do you mean spiteful remarks? Some of your mythology is incorrect (particularily Athene).
¤ The gallery is satisfactory. You might consider putting manga and anime on different pages.
¤ Organizing the quiz scores in descending of ascending order would give the semblence of organization. The quizzes look to be alright.
¤ The fanfic section is rather bare. Wait until more submissions have been sent, or more of your fic is finished.
¤ In the 'FSW' the link is indescriminate from the text. Add an underline for the link or use a different color.
¤ Polls are satsifactory, but futile.
¤ The link stint from the 'FSW' section applies to the 'awards' part as well. The awards a presented in an organized fashion and documented well.
¤ The updates archive is concise, but this doesn't help, since the latest is not on the main page. The purpose of a sites main page is to inform.
¤ Past layouts will suffice; dates could be provided.
¤ One of your sister sites is yourself... Okay. I recommend removing it since it makes you seem desperate to have sisters.
¤ In the links, move the cliques to the bottom since priority-wise, they would be last.
¤ The buttons are standard size, and two of the banners are standard size as well so I can't complain.
¤ Since you have an adoption section, I would suggest adding your cliques to that pages (converging the two sections), since cliques and adoptions are of similiar nature.
¤ You might contemplate adding a contact form for people who do not have email access or such.
¤ You have photoshop? I would expect a MUCH MUCH higher quality of graphics. The simplicity of graphics is inexcusable. Once again, the links are a problem. Why would you even consider having text and links look the same? That is a huge crime in webdesign (and I rhyme). Don't label the FAQ's as such since they are not FAQ's. Just present the information in bullet FYI format.
¤ There have got to be more creditiation. How about the information section (mythology/ astrology)? What were the sources?
¤ Overall, this site is average; it leaves me empty though, much in wanting. It lacks depth and development of information, and at times causes me to doubt the credibility of the information. Overall, the unoriginality make this to be a tedious experience, however this site has potential. One thing that irked me was tha watermark on all the graphics. No one is going o steal them. Trust me.


Sorry for a review that’s shorter then usual, I’m just really busy at the moment and I will be for at least the next two weeks. So just bear with my shoddy little review and forgive me for my lack of thoroughness. The layout is fairly simplistic but still pretty (I like it better then the last layout). I’m not very fond of every picture being tinted pink though, if you ever want to change the layout it’s going to be a lot of work to make all those pictures b&w once more. The title is still as bland as ever…
Information:
- All the information seems to be correct, but you’re mixing up Japanese and English terms (ie. Scouts and Chibi-Moon)
- There are still a few grammar and small spelling errors
- It’s the Amazon Quartet, not the Amazoness Quartet.
Quotes:
- I like your quotes but perhaps they should be organized under with the volume and act number beside them
Attacks:
- rather short but adequate explanations
Individual Character profiles:
- You might want to elaborate on the actions that make Cere Cere a good leader
- Um…was there any information added to this section since the last time I was here? there still seems to be empty sections of the profiles that just scream out the phrase ~Insert text here~
Gallery:
- I have no complaints here, real thumbnails and the pictures lead to the actual file instead of a html page with the picture on it
Quizzes:
- still as easy as ever, I don’t think that any changes have been made
Fanfic:
- No new chapters in the fanfic, and it’s been how long since the last review?
Webring:
- unique idea, but there’s no application form or anything of that sort
Polls:
- no comment, they pertain to the Asteroid Senshi, nuff said
Awards:
- Perhaps you should put the awards you won and awards you give out on separate pages, I’m starting to get tired of pink being on everything (including your awards)
Layouts:
- I don’t know why, but I often like looking at layouts on sites to give me ideas, you have a rather small archive though
Sisters:
- You have so many sisters that it almost defeats the purpose
Links/Link Me:
- You created several buttons and banners featuring Cere Cere and the color pink (obviously to be paired up with your current layout) but no other Asteroid Senshi or colors exist on the buttons, it’s simply pink and Cere Cere
Overall: This site hasn’t changed all that much, there is a new layout and the gallery has improved but I’d still hesitate to call this site “well done”. There are still many grammar, spelling and Japanese/English mistakes that could easily be fixed if you just read through everything. Though I liked the layout, I got tired of it quickly. Pink, black and Cere Cere don’t exactly capture my fancy, especially when Cere Cere is only in the first frame when you enter the site.

Notes: Gorgeously presented, but could use a bit more of a personal touch to it
Crash Count: 0

Well, to start with, imagemaps and iframes aren't exactly netscape-friendly. If you want more people to be able to view your page, it would be a good idea to provide a version with text links and normal frames.
The layout is prositively adorable. The opening paragraph is sort of melodramatic, but I like it.
Information is all good. She provides all the right warnings and such, to people like Fishuu who hate spoilers with a passion.
The quotes switch from saying "Scouts" to "Soldiers" to "Senshi." Then again, the manga translation is pretty inconsistent in itself..
The attacks are brief, but a little too sparse. it could use a bit more description on the attacks.
The profiles aren't completely finished, which makes me wonder why you submitted for a review. The parts that are finished, however, link the token mythology sections, et cetera, with the Quartet themselves, which a lot of sites forget to do.
The galleries are uniform, well-presented, and easy-loading. Yes, I like the galleries. The pictures are some very common ones, other not-so-common ones, and a few of the pictures could have undergone some editing fo quality. Ah, well, nice galleries, moving on.
The site author keeps a running list of current quiz winners, which shows how much work she's putting into this. The quizzes are email forms, as have some pretty scary questions.
The site author has awards, and sets out strict criteria for them. She says she's going to be strict with them, and there aren't very many winners.

Alright, let's cut a long story short. I adore this place. it's not complete in any sense of the word, but is oozing with so much raw potential. The rest of the site is the token stuff. it's all organized, and the like, not much else I can really say.
Overall? Overall, it's very lovely, but still feels a lot like it's missing something. And it's certainly one of the better Amazoness sites I've come across
