Layout & Design

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

Finally, something nice to look at. The webmistress appears to have spent some time putting together the layout of this site. There are three "skin" options to choose from.

The default skin feature Sailor Moon by herself with the Moon Kingdom behind her. The images used are high quality and look very nice.

The second choice of skin features all five senshi in their classic poses. Again, the images are high quality and well put together.

The third choice has the senshi as silhouttes outlined in their respective colors. An interesting idea that the webmistress has made work.

The content, etc. is all on the left side. The space leftover on the right has a line in Romanji from the theme song and an image of Sailor Mars or Moon (depending on which skin you look at. The third skin just has the site name to the side).

The navigation is VERY easy to use. The text is clear and most have little drop down menus to direct you to each page in the section.

Overall, I have no objections whatsoever. It's so nice to look at and I'm not going blind. *hands the Webmistress a full box of Kudos* Well done.

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?

My primary disclaimer right now is that I know about jacksquat about PGSM. That's why I actually really enjoyed reviewing the written content for this site.

The overall plot section provides a concise description of the season's story arch, with teeny-tiny screencaps as supporting evidence. Very entertaining stuff!

Each of the main and supporting characters also have profiles in the Info section, which includes basic dollbox stats and (what I most appreciated) a short discussion of the differences in the Senshi's fuku (I assume, compared to Sailor Moon's). This gives the profiles character and differentiates them from other profiles.

Each profile also contains a screencap of each item and a small gallery. I'm sure that Viluy will complain that there should be more screencaptures for each of these characters, but I like that these pictures are available.

I'm massively impressed that all of the supporting characters have profiles as well. This is something not even fansites of BSSM usually manage to do well. Even the "Bit Part" characters have a little blurb about them.

The site is currently working on doing episode guides and synopses for each of the acts. If the first four (which are currently up) are any indication, the amount of information on each episode is going to be very comprehensive. I hope the webmaster can get the rest done quickly.

The site includes some PGSM-specific fanfiction. It's nice to see there is some here, although I'm sure they're working on enlarging the archive.

Overall, this site is very comprehensive, and though I can't speak to the veracity of the written content, I'm impressed by the overwhelming quantity of it. Great job!

Visual Content

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

Media! One of my favorite things to review! I love media, music, games, pictures, you name it I love it! And what I love most is when there is so much media you don't know where to go to first! Another thing that catchs my eye is the way the media is laid out, that really says a lot! The more organized, the better! So, with that said, I am very much looking forward to this review!

This site is a PGSM site and the stuff on here is great. It has screen caps, fanworks, graphics, music, just about anything I can think of is here. Each section has some kind of information that you really should read, otherwise you might be disappointed when trying to journey further into the site. For instance, there is a place in here that gives video parts of the show, but you have to have a username and password to access them. This is found on the first page you come to, before going on to the videos.

The place also overs icons, signatures, sprites, and games. Everything is so nicely laid out and organized, there are notes about everything on the main page of the section that you choose. Everything seems to be working very nicely here, which is a plus and again it's arranged very nicely!

All in all, I'm very impressed with the media given on this site. Again everything is so nicely laid out, that the only way you wouldn't know how to see a video or about giving credit, would be if you never read the introduction pages! Again, like I said...very impressed with the media.
