| Now here is a new Sailorsaturn shrine
that has been getting quite a bit of attention lately. You'd might think
"oh God," not another Saturn page, but this one is one of the most unique
to come a long in a long time. Tomu found enough audacity to build a page
that denounces the notion that Hotaru- chan is goth. Good for him! Black
is getting old on Saturn pages and I can see a new breed of pages like
this one following.
Overall, the information is very
well- said. I noticed that Tomu calls the show "Bisoujo Senshi Sailormoon."
Perhaps he could write it as either "Bishoujo" or even "Bisyoujo." Either
way is right, actually. Don't worry, that's but a minor nitpick. He gives
the regular season summaries, basic character information, and attacks,
but he found that it would be fun to include a comment about Tomoe family.
How very touching and sweet. I kind of hope he reconfigures his summaries
page soon because I'd think it
would be a little bit better if
they were divided into "anime" and "manga" sections. It would be more complete
and less cluttered. Speaking of which, he omits the Dead Moon Circus arch
of the manga, unfortunately.
The powers section is very thorough
and well- focused, also. The only major complaint is that there should
be a some image files of the attacks. That way, the visitors with curiousities
can be satisfied. The Stats page contains, what else, stats which can be
found everywhere. I suppose he included them for the sake of completeness.
Thumbs up to Tomu and the images
section! He wisely used real thumbnails -- the only kind of thumbnails
that really work, IMHO. Though I have seen them all before, I think they
fulfill the requirement. The images seem a little blurred to me, too. I
don't like the fact that the movies section is down. Perhaps in the future
he'll have a large archive. Only time will tell. His sound-clips collection
is rather small, but they are unique. I
find the disclaimer on the bottom
of the "multimedia" page appropriate.
The Why page goes into detail about
why he created his page, as you'd expect. I share Tomu's opinion that Saturn
is one of the best of the senshi. The interview with Hotaru is exceedingly
cute! Hotaru having a crush and flirting isn't too far-fetched! ^_^ I want
another interview, Tomu! It's also cute how Hotaru actually yells at Haruka!
Oh, the gothic business. This has
got to be the most thorough and insistant part of the entire page. Tomu
actually stands up to all those pages that call Hotaru a goth and tells
how they are wrong! He gives sound answers in his Misconception page. He
also goes a step further to define Wicca and how it relates to Hotaru.
I'd wish he'd write more in the "Senshi of Rebirth" page, though. The Gothic
Links section lists pages
that are for and against the notion
of Hotaru being goth. Wow. I didn't know there was an organization that
was against her being goth.
The Web Stuff has the usual; links,
awards (which he deserves, I'd say) and a Web ring that doesn't seem to
work properly. I suppose the Ring of Destruction's owner is either dead
or there is something wrong with Tomu's HTML scripting. The HTML seems
fine to me, actually. The link section has a problem -- the Resignation
URL doesn't seem right to me.
This page is certainly a good one.
All Saturn fans should look into it because I think it's in the league
of the other well- known ones like Resurrection and Bow to the Glaive.
Though Tomu redoes his main page almost every week, a visitor may get disappointed
that there wasn't anything else updated. Overall, this is a page that will
go far. Mark my word. |
