At first glance, this looks good. Let's dive in and find out yes?

Ok, the layout is done nicely. Written information is on the bottom left section of the page with a drawn picture on the top left. The naviagation is located on the right side and is seperated into five sections: domain, directory, activities, mascots, and misc.

My issue with this page. Dont get me wrong, it looks really good. However, the yellow text! Yellow on white background really hurts my eyes. You'd be better off with something not so sharp.

The layout is uniformed throughout the entire site, which is GOOD. I like uniformed! Its not all messed up or clustered either. I am very pleased. I guess I dont have to shoot you with my death buster gun. lol.

First of all, I have to say that this layout image is beautiful. Kudos to Jean Ho, whomever she may be.

On to multimedia -- this is a fansite for fan-created Senshi, and not just any site but a "site directory aimed at the otaku senshi community". So it's a special fan Senshi site, completely different from all the other fan Senshi sites. It's bigger. And better. Really. I mean, hell, it's got a 1-800 number; it's got to be good.

So, as with all fan Senshi site, I expect this to have the usual fan Senshi stuff: stats, back stories, and pages upon pages of galleries. However, if they're all of the supreme quality as this piece by the aforementioned Ms. Ho, then we'll be five-by-five.

I skim the navigation section (a little non-multimedia tidbit: pale yellow on white is not a stellar web design combination. Ctrl+A, I <3 you) and come across the "Games" link. Here, we have Battleship, which has zip to do with the Sailor Senshi, a game of Concentration that doesn't work on my PC, and an RPG forum, which I basically skip because... uhm... well, I could come up with a good reason involving it being late and me having just moved across the country but... well... who wants to lie? I'm not interested.

Moving on.

Ahh, here we go, the "Art Gallery" which, believe it or not, is different from the "Fanfic Gallery" (we're getting to that in a second). The "Art Gallery" is where the webmaster puts all the images of the webmaster's own characters or self-inserted Senshi creations, drawn by themselves of other people. Unfortunately, the only quality image is by the aforementioned Ms. Ho. Meanwhile, thought the gallery is thumbnailed (thumbs up!!), it offers no textual credit whatsoever for the artists (thumbs way down!!).

And then we have the "Fanfic Gallery" which is not a gallery at all. Rather, it is a tiny (and I do mean tiny) fanfiction archive comprised primarily of filler text like "None at this time..." It is completely inappropriate to title this a gallery because... well... a gallery is full of images. And fanfics aren't images. Duh.

I'm not sure what I thought the links under "Mascots" was going to be, but I definitely know that profiles for the previously pictured Senshi was not it. One suggestion, tiny though it might seem, is to move this information above the section where I get to see pictures of these characters. It just seems really strange to be reading up on the characters after having already subjected myself to images of them.

Alrighty, after the Misc. stuff, we get to the Community Search section, which I assume is the meat of this site. Which is why, of course, it's so far down. It's a directory, so the site should be about the links... but the links are placed in a way such that the attention is drawn away from them. Hell, just viewing the site on a normal resolution places the Community Search navigation "below-the-fold" (to use newspaper layout lingo), i.e., I've got to scroll down to see it.

Overall, the site has less than the usual multimedia than most fan-Senshi sites. Which is disappointing. Because, y'know, it had the 1-800 number and all that.
