Layout & Design Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing? |
EudialOi..I'm sorry, but those have to be the worst Sailor Mars and Venus pictures I have ever seen. Venus looks like she's chewing her gum and Mars looks REALLY annoyed. Ok, this site was done by the same person who made "Sea of Dreams." And, I already see that I'm gonna be writing the same stuff that I wrote for that review. Naviagation could be in a better spot. Putting it in the center is very strange, and i believe this is the first time i have ever encountered that. You usually find naviagation on the sides or on the top somewhere, but never in the middle. The rest of the site's layout are the same idea as "Sea of Dreams." That is; a tiled picture of the star characters on the left side. I think the webmistress was lazy and just took her "about me" section from her other site and put it on this one. How do i know this? Because the tiled picture on the page is of the outer senshi and not of Mars & Venus like the rest of the site. Not really a whole going for this site in regards to layout. Seeing this puts Eudial in a bad mood. |

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? |
MimetteOk.... I clicked the first link on this site which was "updates" and it leads to a white page with black text and updates for EVERY SITE that this person hosts. Why did you do this? The "Romance" link is worthless.... it went there and was an opinion on the characters and why they are a "great couple"..... please somebody stab me in the eyes.... please? The "About Me" page just took me to the section from this person's other site.... Look kiddies if you are going to do an about me page, that is great, but make it unique for EACH SITE. I am in the "Bio" section for Venus and well this line strikes me as badly written and just inaccurate: "Unlike the anime, Minako is very serious in PGSM, she is very dedicated to her mission. She has an illness, that if she goes through with surgery her chances are near zero of surviving. Minako is a famous idol in the series. Though Minako is very popular, she doesn't have many close friends and is very distant. She insists that Rei could be the leader, Sailor Mars is Venus' equal." Nowhere was it ever stated that Mars was the equal of Venus. In fact throughout the PGSM series, they go back and forth as to who is better than the other. They are never expressed as equals and I don't appreciate an "opinion" as a fact. Please amend your bio of Venus please. This same mistake is stated in the Mars bio. An even bigger issue with this section is the fact that the entire "Other" bit is listed as opposed to set as statements, yet every item that is separated by a comma is capitalized as if it is the start of a new sentence. Anybody else wondering what the hell is going on here? I know I am. Oh and sweetie, it is "Akuryou Taisan" not, "Akuyou". Lyrics made my eyes bleed. There are the translated lyrics for "Romance" and nothing more. I understand that that is your "title" for this site, but you are in essence setting up a Mars and Venus shrine and well, why not have the other singles from those characters? Well that is it for my section. I hand you off to your next reviewer with a bottle of bleach for you to drink should you feel that it is an abject emergency. |

Visual Content What kind of visual content is offered? Is it efficiently organized and intuitively accessible? Are all visual media offered legally? |
ViluyCollage Gallery I must say I was extremely disappointed in the collage gallery. As a multimedia artisan myself, I know what collage means, and this isn't it. A collage is a piece of artwork made up of different portions of different pictures put together into a cohesive whole. This is merely a gallery full of mashed together screenshots of Minako and Rei, not actually collages. It is very badly done I'm afraid - it makes Rei look like she's got a moustache in one picture, and like she's got fairy people in her face in another picture. THIS is what a collage looks like:
... not the images in the gallery on this site. My advice to you would be to completely overhaul your idea of a collage gallery and if you do intend to keep it, make them true collages, not badly mashed images. Music Videos Leaving aside any deficiencies with the layout of this page, I'm a bit dubious. There are links to music videos, sure, but when you click on them, you're sent to an adware/popup spamming file download site, rather than to space on your own server. I'm not usually that bothered when I see this, and I am sure it will turn others off as well. When I clicked to download one of the files to see whether or not the MVs are worth it, it showed that it had only been downloaded 19 times. This sort of proves to me that others are as put off by this as I am. If you're going to offer downloads, host them yourself or on a friend's server, not a file-sharing site like this. I downloaded the MV 'Dearest' (I <3 Ayumi) and it would have been a lot better if the clips used were better quality. It seems to vary in quality throughout the video. It might help to try and get the best quality clips you can and if it doesn't work, make the video shorter. You shouldn't have to compromise on the quality of your videos. Also, at the end, the dead space in the video while the song is still playing isn't very good. There's over 30 seconds of dead space here...cut that out of the video and you'll be all right. |
