Layout & Design

Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing?

Cyprine

While I understand what the webmistress was going for, I can honestly say I don't like the concept or the execution.

The color scheme isn't bad, it's just a grey-blue and white. But that navigation table just makes me twitch. Why put an image behind it if you're going to cover 80% with big white circles. Iron Mouse has a bit circle over her face, and I can barely even tell what the heck is going on in the picture on the left.

I will cut the webmistress a little slack. Judging by the 600x400 resolution warning, this site was probably made in the late 90's. It doesn't fall prey to many of the traps of those years (blinking .gifs, javascript, java applets, or OMG BRIGHT text.)

Moving on to the content pages...we seem to have completely lost our navigation. All that's left is a little home link at the bottom. While I didn't like the huge navigation table, at least it was useful. Also, the repeating chibi-Mouse border is too busy.

The nicest thing I can say about this layout is that it could be far worse.

Written Content

Is there lots of written information? Are all profiles, back story, and other textual content accurate? Does the site offer fanfiction or other miscellaneous written content?

Tellu

Something is terrible, terrible wrong with the person who wrote the info on this website. To begin with, it's in first person, as if it's written by Sailor Iron Mouse. Which would be all fine and good (albeit still a little weird), except that I would expect the real Iron Mouse to know that she is an ANIMAMATE, not an "Animate." If I was looking for info on Iron Mouse and read the profile section, I would know absolutely nothing about her except that she compares herself to Dr. Who. WTF.

On the Etc. page, this person has blatantly stolen the episode summaries from Hitoshi Doi's page, and posted them on her own. How lazy can you possibly be?!!? Jesus.

The "Other Animamates" page is just as bad as the others. In my opinion, the highlight of this page is the shameless use of the word "eviller." What the hell? The webmaster on this site just really doesn't seem to know what she's talking about at ALL. If you're going to write about Iron Mouse or the other Animamates, at least know something about them. This is ridiculous. I give up.

Visual Content

What kind of visual content is offered? Is it efficiently organized and intuitively accessible? Are all visual media offered legally?

Tellu

You get twice the Tellu fun today :)

In the multimedia section, NONE of the pictures work. But I have a feeling that even if they did work, they wouldn't be very good anyway. Let's just call that a hunch, shall we?

And... that's it. If you're looking for Iron Mouse multimedia, you wanna steer clear of this page. Ick.
