The main layout for this site is pretty bland: how does this site manage to make one of the most beautiful manga Sailor Moon images look boring? The brown/sepia colourization just saps all the energy out of this image and makes it look yawn-erific. Also, the building of this layout is pretty awful: it looks like someone used the magic lasso and cut Sailor Moon's cape out in about five minutes; the edge just looks awful.

The next big no-no committed by this site is the switch to a different layout with the sub-sections. This second layout is more attractive than the main sepia layout, it being a bright yellow and at least cut out well. However, there is a sunspot effect used on Sailor Moon's eye that obscures her irises and makes her look blind. Also, the background image of the content, another beautiful manga image, is so washed out it's barely worth including.

Overall, this layout is just bland, but because it manages to ruin a couple of great manga images, this accomplishment alone pushes my vote to bad.

Written.... how I always dread having to do written columns, but here it is none the less. You should be aware though that this site has quite a bit of written content. I will NOT be going over it all in depth but rather skimming some of it and analyzing other bits of it. Also a good portion of the written content here is based upon opinion essays. Meaning they aren't technically wrong by standpoint but they may be by information. That will now be examined.

Holy fucking god! A profile on Usagi that ISN'T dollbox stats. Webauthor, please marry me and have my e-babies! Sorry folks, this is just something that is nice to see. The second half of the profile is an opinion essay with an obvious spelling mistake. Nephernia? *cough* Unfortunately this opinion essay falls a bit short. Mainly because the author is trying to prove another person's opinion to be different and they aren't doing too well with all the bracketed opinions that pretty much seal the deal for the person she is trying to write the opposite of.

The color theory essay is a bit bland and not really informative so much as an opinion... Also the image is broken.

The powers section felt like eating sawdust after tasting prime rib.... come on.... that section isn't even necessary it is so bland...

Dammit.... now I retract my earlier statement about e-babies... I want an e-divorce now thanks. I found the dollbox....

I gotta admit most of the rest of these essays are a snore. I wonder if the author was just trying to fill space. You started out so well here but you just suddenly took a nosedive..... I wish it would have stayed on the same caliber....

There really isn't much more to say. I mean I felt like I was riding the best sitegasm in a long time only to be denied just before the pinnacle of the exploration. This site started out well but fell short way too fast.

This is just... sad. So I'm reviewing the media section, so I expect to see... well, something. Anything. Unfortunately, there is nothing here. I like galleries, so let's start with that. The B&W manga gallery appears to currently be unavailable. There is no link to it, just some text. There ARE links to the group and "single" anime galleries, but... those apparently also unavailble. The webmaster is whining about someone direct-linking files. Umm.. turn off direct-linking if you have a problem? It's not that difficult. The color manga gallery is linked to moonroses.net, which seems to NOT be working. So, nothing there. This site gets a big fat F as far as galleries are concerned!

Moving on to the other media... for sounds, there are FOUR wav files linked to moonroses.net which doesn't work. Even if it did work, there are only four here! That's not much of a sounds section. Is the "treasure hunt" really media? I'm not sure, but it's retarded either way.

Animated GIFs... woohoo. Shouldn't this be with the other galleries? Anyway, these are also linked to moonroses.net. Whatever, the main thing I have to say here is that this person uses several animated GIFs which were apparently NOT made by her... and then some that WERE made by her. There is a notice above the ones that were made by her saying that they're only for use on her site. Funny how she doesn't mind snatching GIFs that OTHER people spent time on and putting them on her site, but she has a big problem with people doing the same thing to her. A bit hypocritical, are we? Ever heard of the golden rule?

Ok, this is the last thing I'll discuss here... the wallpapers. The ones that actually work (just a few) are HORRIBLE. Yuck.

So the media section of this site is terrible. TERRIBLE! Don't be fooled by the pretty layout on the main page; this site just doesn't cut it.
