Review by: Chibiusa
PSP has a neat, professional layout

Overall statement: A very professional looking, opinionated combo page.
Main Page
The first thing that strikes me when I see this page is: organization. The author seems to be extremely neat about the way he separates each section, and I like that a lot. The graphics are very professional looking, as is the rest of the site. I like the pillow-embossed text graphics! Oh, and the smaller graphic of ChibiChibi and Eternal
Sailormoon is extremely cute, by the way! It brings a nice theme to the page. 

Sub-Pages
Each of the sub-pages has an extremely similar layout as the main page, so here I won't review layout as much as content.

The first section is entitled Personal Opinions. The author provides some fun and extremely original text on what he thinks about the show, and anime in general. They're nicely written and organized. Great job! I'm sure all surfers will have fun reading this section.

Next section: Character Info. Wow, I really like the picture on the little star graphic. Never seen it before, I don't think! Only two sections of this sub-page are open, but the ones that are are great. The author provides in-depth information about the Moon Family and the Outer Senshi, and includes those cute little shape graphics along the
side! I like! 

The news section lets viewers express their opinions on the latest to come out of Sailormoon. Nice idea! The only thing I would reccomend changing is the setup: have the actual news itself on one page, and add a link to a separate page for comments. It would be a lot easier!

The Guess Who? section is something that I've seen before, but the author pulls it off without making it seem unoriginal. It's almost like a contest! The form is correctly set up, good job. There's even an archives section of who's won before. I like this a lot... lemme guess! Is it... Professor Tomoe? ^^

Downloads, Penpals, and Pictures are all on hold... just get those up, and you'll be golden!

PSP includes a large awards section that I have absolutely no complaints about. I don't like to judge awards sections, unless they're a mess (organizational wise). This one looks fine!

Links and banners looks good, as does the questionnaire. That about wraps up the sub-pages!

Positives
This page has a nice, professional look to it. The shape graphics are adorable! It's organized well, and is updated often. 

Things to Fix
Navigation is kind of confusing. The menu on the right of each page doesn't stand out very much, so some people might not notice it. Maybe if you put a nifty border around it, more people would see it and would realize where most of the links were. This site is technically very nice. I don't have much else to say otherwise!

Suggestions for the Author
I hate to say it, but this site is kind of lacking in content. I mean, the Opinions page is a nice touch, but I suggest you really get those character profiles done right away. Unfinished pages aren't something a lot of people go back to, so just get workin', and the visitors will keep rolling! Design-wise, you really have a great page. I think that a
lot of people will realize that in the near future. Great job!
