| Phoooo. I've been trying to review
this page for a long time, but unfortunatly things kept getting in the
way. I reviewed about half of it a while ago but didn't get to save what
I had before the computer crashed. ;_; Anyway, I like the main page. It's
got a nice design and color scheme going. The only problem is that the
"introduction" and fastcounter links go past the circley things in the
background. I'd expand the white section in the background a bit or take
a few paragraphs out of the top. Ohh, and the scan is great, I've never
seen it before, but I might add a border around it - maybe just a green
line rounded at the edges, or some of those circley things in the background.
You also might want to fix the Manga Style link. ^_^
Most of the sections have a nice, clean, uniform layout that uses very small text. ^.^ I can read it well, but I am nearsighted. Some people might have trouble. Anyway, I also think it might be nice if you made a background image that takes up the whole left cell and some of the right cell, so the text would go over part of the image. (Did that make any sense? Gomenasai. ^.^) I do love the fanart. ^_^ The Naru page is complete and the picture on the left is pretty, although it would look terrible unedited. Sarah-neko has a very competent and elegant writing style which I enjoy a lot. The Nephrite page has more details about Nephrite than I knew existed, and is also eloquently insightful at times. I like the Nephrite quote. ^_^ The history pages are...long. Boooy. You might want to split them up into chapters, because it's intimidating seeing that little tiny text go on for so long. I would also recommend making the text take up as much of the screen as possible, so that it wouildn't scroll down quite as long (unless it makes the page really ugly, or something ^_^). The writing, however, is quite eloquent and detailed, so don't sacrifice any of it for the sake of length (duuh, you're saying ^_^). I commend you on writing such a long summary of each episode. Ack. Anyway, this site has its feet
planted firmly in the SM Community, and its strong point is definitely
content. I would love to see some more going on with the design; cell backgrounds,
text color and type (and size ^_^), and something else I just thought of
is the site could use some user interavticity. I'm quite sure you have
the intelligence to think of something. ^_^ It is, however, a great site
already. ^^
