O........k.........yeah....hmm...lets see the site is just...well..blah. The main thing is a badly done collage of Sailor V/Venus/Minako from the manga/anime and PGSM. It's a whole bunch of pictures molded onto a greenish blue background and it looks really bad. Now I can understand if this was a first attempt at graphics but still...ya know. Ok moving on.

On the left we have a menu. It concludes the followning: "Welcome, Sailor Star Dust, Fanlists, Fansubbing, Most Wanted and AX Adventures". Well the "Sailor Star Dust" is just an "about me" page so yeah. Next we have "Fanlists" which just showcases some of the fanlistings she's part of. Up next on the menu is "Fansubbing" and here she states that she "might fansub Sailor Stars". It was already done but she goes on to tell why she wants to redo it. Um...yeah...goodluck with that if you ever do it. ^_^ Ok moving on. Up next is "Most Wanted". Hmm....wonder what she's gonna do here. Oh ok it's just a list of things she wants. Can't blame her I want some of that stuff too. LOL! I'm gonna skip AX Adventures as this is getting boring.

Layout: You basic preset template. Nothing special about it. Atleast all the links work. ^^ Um Ok I just noticed this. On the main page (the one w/the badly done Minako collage) if you click on the image it will take you to her site. Um well what did I just review? *Sighs* Fine.....let's look at her other site. I mean it's part of this site right?!

*Clicks on image* Well...it has an image of PGSM Sailor Moon with her butt cheak hanging out. o_0 Moving on! I notice that this site was last updated in May of this year so it's been a long while since she's done anything to the site. I'm just gonna go over the links to the left starting with:

Ami's News-Image of Sailor Mercury from the Anime with her legs cut off. Big News is that ADV's box sets are "being sold!" Old Old Old news! Other news is about PGSM again old news there. So that was it on the news corner.

Rei's Fanart-Some pretty fanart done by others a while back. There's an image of Sailor Mars (anime form) right next to the rules...I guess she will be putting an image in each catagory...

Mako's Gallery-Yeppers...I was right! An image of Sailor Jupiter...images shown are from the artbooks. I'm betting she got these from Manga Style. No credit here I see either. Downgrade!

Mina's Proverbs-This is an interesting section of her site. She lists all the "proverbs" Minako says starting w/ep. 38. Hehehe...

Usagi's Fanfic Bios-A bio on Usagi-make that "Chiba Usagi" as it's giving stats on her married life. It also gives bios on her hubby, Mamo-chan, as well as ChibiUsa and Minako! Um...ok so why is Minako here?

Chibi-Usa's site banners-LINK ME! I think the banners look better then that other SailorV/Venus/Minako collage! @_@

Mamoru's Omake-I have NO clue why that link says that because all that's here are poorly done attempts at wallpapers! It's a bunch of Anime/PGSM pictures molded together! I'm going to the next link asap!

*Breathes in and out multiple times* Ok...better.

Hotaru's Reviews-Star Dust reviews the first ADV boxset. That's it.

Michiru's Music Lyrics-Nothing. Says "Coming Soon"

Haruka's Comparison-This too says "Coming Soon" but Star Dust did put a mini "review" of the classic season of BSSM. That's it.

Setsuna's Links-Different links to other SM sites...wait a minute! I'm linked on here! Ok thanks!

Overall thoughts of this site(s). Well much improvement is needed! Both of the sites are done poorly but I am assuming she's just starting off and hasn't been back to update or do anything to the sites. I highly suggest throwing everything out the window and start anew. That's the only thing I can say. I mean she put a lot of good info but it's poorly put together. Please, if you really want to keep the sites up on the net...please redo everything!

Breakdown of site 15/100

Welcome and site Identity 3
-The splash page (if indeed that is what it is) is meant to be inviting and is coded with the specifications needed to view the site as a whole. This one is horribly done, with a badly designed graphic, and the coding is non-existant. It's supposed to be BEFORE you see the site, not part of it itself as it appears here. It doesn't really invite one to look any further into the site as it screams out that it's badly designed and coded. The site itself isn't much better, though I do like the innovative navigation (although the names are a bit lame, it's an interesting idea...) Oh, and it helps if the site has a title. Untitled is so overused ;)

Navigation 3
-It has a clearly set out navigation structure, even if a bit uninteresting. The names could have been chosen a bit more carefully, as they're not really indicative of the content. A little less imagination and a little more care in the details helps to make the site interesting to navigate. Back and next buttons come in handy too....

Content of Interest 1
-No content of interest at all. The graphics are badly done, the fanart is even worse, the news is NO news...it's basically got nothing that makes one want to come back again and again, and what's worse, blatantly admits it! Half the site is either unfinished or missing altogether. Since this site claims to have been up for a couple of years, I'm pretty disappointed as there should be tons more on here than there actually is.

Advertising and sponsorship 0
-There is none

Self-promotion 0
-There is none

Filler 1
-some fan fiction stuff and a few good images. Doesn't save the site from being absolutely and unabashedly mediocre.

White-space 1
- too much of it. The content is not set out in a logical manner, it seems more to have something up rather than to be informative or worth it.

Other 2
-All in all, for this site being a little older than some, it's a woeful disappointment. There should be a proper navigation with information that makes the visitor want to come back over and over again. Not bad coding, even worse graphics and no information whatsoever. We're not after your fanfics hun, we're after SM info. Unfortunately this site fails to deliver on both....

Well as this page first started to load, I thought it was going to be nice as it had a nice pink border on the left and along the top.... and then this THING showed up. This thing refers to this attempt at what looks like a wallpaper.... badly done wallpaper....hell who am I kidding... it isn't a wall at all and frankly I am not sure what it is.... ARG!!!!

TIME OUT! Alright kids listen up! I understand that not everybody has uber graphics programs and that is fine, but you can do MUCH better then this in MSPaint! Jagged edges are NOT acceptable in a collage, the fact that Sailor V's leg in one part is showing Sailor Venus through it in splotches also shows that this person had bad quality images on top of this! When working in graphics make sure to have the highest quality images as possible and don't insult our eyes with things like this! The worst part about this mess is that a couple of the images, namely the PGSM Venus ones, are NOT cut well at all. Maybe this person relied on transparents gifs and didn't have them for this one or something but damn! The eraser tool CAN cut out those white spots! There is no reason that there should be pixels of white surrounding an image! Clean it up or take it down! We don't want to see things so poorly done when they are things out there that are much better.

Alright, in the spirit of "Wayne's World".... GAME ON!

After doing what I usually do of turning up my monitor resolution to see if the page works in it, I wasn't realy all that surprised to find that it doesn't. In fact what looked like a "pink border" is nothing more then a tiled background....

Hey! I just noticed something! This page has the same title as the notepad document I am working in right now "Untitled". So this page doesn't have a title. Is this so that people wouldn't ridicule you by name or what? I am still trying to figure that out. Or were you just too lazy/dumb to put in a title which takes all of five seconds (2 if you can type well).

Uhm, what the hell is this? I clicked on "Sailor Star Dust" and what do I get? A profile of this person's self? Ok, fine.... (OOOOOO an email address, anybody want to give this person a clue?) It says "Since you've stopped by, relax while reading some of my fanfics! Click on either link below! ^_~" Ok, well finding those links was hard as they are a light grey that almost blends in with the white on the page, but reading them she didn't even bother to host her fic on her own site but rather on fanfiction.net.... If you are going to advertise your fic at least have it accessable... I don't want to go through a link trail to try to find it even if it IS good (my gut tells me that it isn't).

Fanlists (how did you get on them with this piece of garbage?)... I will never understand how some people get on them. If I ran a fanlist it would have to be of quality sites that serve a purpose, not sites like this.

Oh man, this one cracks me up.... FANSUBBING! Look, you obviously can't code a site to save your life, so what makes you think that you are capable of fansubbing? Leave it to the people who know what the hell they are doing instead of making a fool out of yourself. Also, for the record, if you are reading fansubs you usually know what simple words are like "gomen" so don't act like VKLL completely screwed up the sub. You couldn't do any better and I would LOVE to see your script which I am sure doesn't exist.

Most Wanted.... I was hoping to see something fun in this category, but instead I got a list of things she wants... uhm try ebay as they are all available on there or are you mad at the sellers for not subbing a word for you?

o_0;

Could somebody please tell me what the point of "AX Adventures" is? I am assuming that she is referring to Anime Expo, but she claims "enjoy my pics" yet there are none. I am looking around for either pictures or links to pictures and there is nothing... I know! The author is delusional and only she can see the pictures!!! That must be it!

Alright so I didn't click it right away on the main page, so I am back to that and it says "click on the image above to view my page", so I am assuming that she is talking about the pile of vomit that is on my screen from her attempt at a "wallpaper of Venus" so lemme get out the Windex, clean that off and continue on....

Ok.... a preset.... well it isn't the best, but it is better then what was on the other site.... I would appreciate you explaining why out of all of the pictures of PGSM Sailor Moon that are on the web that you chose the one with her ass hanging out and in plain view! Oh wait, the rest of the site sucks so why not have a bad image to go with it...

The News section needs to be scrapped as it is horribly out of date and the Mercury image is bad and needs blending, but please enlighten me here. You used PGSM Moon on the front page and now you are using Anime style Mercury....*starts singing 'The wheels in my head go round and round'*

Rei's Fanart (needs some help as there are more rules then actual images), Mako's Gallery (Gee, I know you didn't scan in those artbook scans, so why not let people know so that you give CREDIT where it is due), Mina's Proverbs (cute idea, except you suddenly switched to her DUBBED name), Usagi's Fanfic Bios (shouldn't this be with your fic instead of here in the middle of nowhere?), Chibi-Usa's site banners (since when does ChibiUsa have a - in it? and crediting where you got your blank banners to slap your name on would be good as I have seen those before), Mamoru's Omake (Nothing but "wallpapers" that you would go blind to use... like I said, I have done better in MSPaint which these were obviously done in)....

Ok so here is more as that paragraph was getting long....

Hotaru's Reviews (Reviews of the boxsets are fine, but understand that licensing only allows them to use certain names, phrases and such, so don't act like you are so smart by 'catching these mistakes'... they aren't mistakes they are what had to be used to get it released, if you dont' like it, go back to your bad quality fansubs you ignorant person!), Michiru's Music Lyrics (Lyrics would be nice instead of JUST a picture of Michiru with hacked off legs), Haruka's Comparisons (Where is the comparison here? I see a short synopsis of BSSM but nothing after that and of course the badly chopped Haruka image), Setsuna's Links (this has to be one of the smallest links lists I have ever seen.... all text links too, no buttons, and she has EWP labeled as "Kick-Arse PGSM Site ^_^"... it has a name, now use it!).... but here is the best one for me!!!

GUESTBOOK!!!! Can you guess what I will do here? Nah, you have to guess guys, come on now. The best part about this guestbook is that the link is there, and that is fine, but instead of taking me TO THE GUESTBOOK, it take me to another page with links for the guestbook... redundant?

This site is beyond bad, but it didn't blind me, so it is going in "The Bad". Why not "The Ugly" you might ask? Well because "The Ugly" is for those sites that are just so far gone that we wonder if anything can save them. They are the rarest of the rare in the fact that you have to be a COMPLETE MORON to make one like that and think that it looks good.

We've had a recent run of good sites, and I was starting to wonder if all the crap was being avoided and I wouldn't get to tear anyone a new one. And that's why they say to be careful what you wish for. Because today we have heartmoving.worldbreak.com. Which is the only title I can give it, because the author didn't title the webpage, indicating to me that she knows nothing of basic HTML. And if you are going to name your site after a Sailor Moon ED song, why on Earth would you pick Heart Moving? (I kid, I kid, it's a good song, it's just that all the other endings are better)

Let's keep going with crap layout. Horizontally the site is about 140% of my screen. A little horizontal scrolling is OK, but having centered items on my right is annoying and ugly.And what's causing all this scrolling is a big melange of Sailor Venus/Minako pictures, many of which are poorly cropped and have white edges against a dark background. This wouldn't even look good on mom's refrigerator. Behind this pic is a link to another site. Is it part of this one? Or different altogether? Who can tell?

Well, I'm going to call them both one site, because there's nothing of interest on the heartmoving domain. Just links and a convention report and a threat to start fansubbing "this summer." (I guess that never happened, or does she mean next summer?) On the other site, there are fanart and outdated news and fanfic info, but nothing's what you'd call complete. Curiously, some of these pages are titles, and some are not. So I guess she knows how to title a page, but is too lazy to do it consistently.

Also, all of the pages are written in the characters of the senshi, and in faux semi-Japanese. Along the lines of "Minna-san! This is Rei-chan no page! Hope you suki!" There are some people who would eschew this sort of thing all together. I say it's fine it chats and such, but for permanent media, it's more distracting and obfuscatory than it is fun.

This whole site is like putting vinegar in a spray bottle and spritzing it in your face. Not actually painful, but pretty darn annoying after a few minutes. So I'd recommend staying away. But the One Good Thing for this site is that on the front page she sympathizes with my complaint that every site has the same SM info, and that she'll have none of it. Good for you, now put out something people do want.
