Review #1: Sky Coloured Oceans
Author: White Luna
Overall statement: A large shrine to Michiru and Haruka which supports their lesbian relationship.
Ah, a shrine to two very admirable characters: Haruka and Michiru. I quite like the title, it's unusual and unique. The main page is pretty good; the graphics are nicely done and the layout isn't bad. My suggestion would be to take out the cell background in the cell with all the writing; it interferes with the text and buttons, and is sort of unnecessary. I would also specify a bgcolor for that cell, because when the cell background loads, it's just black and you can't read the writing. Or you could just make the background of the page white. You might want to change the font; Times New Roman doesn't do much for the page. Aaaand maybe you could make a table within the cell with the writing so that the text isn't smushed against the edge of the table; try it, it's really handy.

Alrighty! The Information page might also be a  good place to put a table within a table, or just adjust the cellpadding on the table so the text isn't smushed. Again, the font might be changed as well. I like the title pic, though. ^_^

Here we have Haruka and Michiru stats...rather complete ones at that. Yay.  Might want to give English definitions to all the Japanese foods listed. 
The anime page looks nice, but the text is smushed again. I like how it's not too long and not too short. Er, however you said that Michiru raced Haruka in her appearance episode...that was Minako. Might want to proofread this page, because it gets confusing in some parts:

After a while, Uranus and Neptune were turned evil by Galaxia by choice. They thought that they could be strong enough to defeat her, but in they ended up dying. As the faded, they touched one last time. But after Eternal Sailor Moon defeated Chaos, everyone was brought back to life. 

That sorta doesn't make much sense. But overall it's informative.
I liked the "love" section, it was interesting, even though most people should be able to tell that they're quite obviously gay. It was a good read, nonetheless.

The attacks section is quite detailed and I like how the anime and manga henshins are separated; however a lot of the images were broken and the links were too. ^^;;

Oh! Background section actually has nothing to do with computer graphics - it's info on the seiyuus, planets, astrological signs, etc. I was hoping to see some of this. ^_^

I'm hardly one to judge whether it's all accurate, but the planet info is interesting and complete. Oops, the Oureous page doesn't appear to be up, and neither does the Poseidon page, or either of the two seiyuu pages. Ack. Looks like you have some work to do ^^;;

The entertainment section has the works...All the pics are thumbnailed and don't take too long to load, but you might want to put them in tables and change the 2-pixel border around them. I'm also not sure where they came from; scanned, taken...?
Whoa, the "back" link on the gallery page took me to a completely different index page, one that I like better. Odd. IMHO, you should exchange one index for the other.
On the sounds page, the "Kaze ni Naritai" link is broken...the poll doesn't work very well, at least for me...The quiz was very cute, I've never seen one like that before.
Whoa! That's quite an interesting picture at the top of the links page...cool.
Ooh, and a birthday special for Haruka..how nice. It's a pretty little page, the only nitpick was that the word is spelled "surprise" and not "suprise", but that's just me being picky. ^^;;

And finally, there is a little page with a support program for Michiru and Haruka's relationship; it looks like a great idea. The only thing I have to say about the page itself is that the text is very hard to read before the huge-o background loads. ^^;;

I suppose that's it! This shrine was overall very complete with a few unique features and well-informed write-ups. The layouts weren't that bad, either, but with a change of font and a little spicing up with more graphics, etc, they could be great, like the main page already is. Hope to see it improve further. ^_^
