Sweetened Dreams of Sakura's Senshi Circle - 2003
Hmmm... the first page is pink. That's a pretty shade of pink though. I like the enter graphic is cool, the way you got it to work. Quite fitting too. The requirements are cute. 'Large tolerance for Pink'. I don't know if I have that, but we will see. ^,^ You might want the Scented Angels thing to pop up in a new window. I don't know why, but my computer couldn't find your site when I click on the 'Back' button. Having the layout name on the splash page is a cute idea too. Hey...isn't the Otaku Senshi thing supposed to lead to the clique? Hmm...I just check. You weren't on the members list. Maybe I belong to a different clique... Hmm...moving right along...The 1.800.OTAKU.SENSHI link opens up into a new window too. Question. Did you plan the layout around the counter? The counter stats also take you to a different page. You might what to see if you can fix that.Onto the next page. Well, although the splash page said there was going to be lots of pink, there seems to be more...white... White works for this layout though, I think. I screen capped the initial page and cut out all the white, then filled that space in with different colors just to see what it would look like. The only other compatible color I found was a really light shade of pink, but that would be too much. Your color combination gives your site a seemingly light atmosphere. So far, I've spent three days reviewing this site. You update reguralarly, that's for sure. =^^= I don't understand what the 'I am a...MOONIE*' is supposed to mean (is it a clique you belong to?), or the 'Identity C r i s i s' means. I clicked on it and it took me to an e-mail page so that I could join 'Identity Crisis'. Well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. =^^= 'Sailor Moon Fever' has moved, but it did come up in a pop-up, and 'The Sailor Moon Hideaway' popped up too. Quite wise to have links like that. Whoa! 'Anipike.com' got a makeover! Tells you how long it's been since I've gone there. The guestbook image is one, so evidently you know how to use image maps. That's cool. And the little disclaimer down at the bottom is a must. =^^=
Now the navigation bar. Did you draw the senshi in the navigation bar? If so, you did really well. So far, everything seems to be organize rather well. Now we go further...
The updates page...once again, nice little beginning graphic. That last update here is from the 11th. That's where I am, currently. Err..I read some of them, at least. There's a lot there...so...I'm just going to move on. I may come back to them...

FanficsEntertainment
Return of Astera - I really liked the fan-fic. It took me a while to read though. =^^= It was long! That's okay though. When I saw there where 9 parts to it, I groaned. I noticed that there where a few confusing parts to it, but could be worked out easy enough. The spelling was a little different (exp. 'cruel' spelled 'crewel'). There were also parts were it confused me ( 'are you talking about a male?'). Overall, I enjoyed the story. A little surprised in a particular part...(thinks of Mamoru in apartment in the beginning...) Another thing was that you would frequently call Sailor Astera, 'Sakura'. Shouldn't it have been Sailor Astera yet,due to the fact that she was still in senshi form? Err...you also used the word 'scout' as often as 'senshi'.
RoA Sequel (Preview)-I can see how much you have matured as a writer even by the first paragraph. The writing style is a bit different. I really liked it! I can't wait until more comes!
The Forgotten Truth-This was defiantly written before RoA's sequel. I was sorta disappointed that Sailor Astera wasn't going to be in it, but it was still a good story. I enjoyed Return of Astera more, but they were both good. (Sailoratris cheers in the background for the misunderstood.) This story has a few more confusing parts, I thought, though the story was still enjoyable. =^^=
I'm not going to grade the Guest Fan-fic's, although I did take a quick look. I want to finish this before I die. =^^=
Short Stories- An Accident- Pretty....that's all I have to say. Maybe listening to 'Radical Dreamer', and the 'Real Folk Blues' affected me too...
She Doesn't See Me- (Cringes) Dub terms.... but...It was still a good story. Sad, yet good. That story was beautifully written around that song. It's as if the artist and writer of the fan-fic worked hand in hand.
In Her Eyes- Awwww....that was soooo sad!!! It made me want to cry. Why? Why did she die?
The Birth of Sailor Astro Nemis- Err.....it was cute...a little hard to follow, but cute... Fanart Sakura's Fanart- You used an image map once again. Probably quicker to load. I've seen some of these poses before, although with much different characters. In the inners gallery, the last Jupiter pose doesn't work. It comes up as another thumbnail of another gallery (otaku, I think.) Some times the new pictures would open up in new windows, sometimes they would just open up in the same frame. I really like the pic of Deathsythe from Gundam Wing...
Guest's Fanart- Moonbug's site didn't seem to work when I clicked on the url. Neither did Hotaru Maxwell's. Charlene's site moved to http://www.mad-sky.com/dreams. Next section, please! =^^=
Commissions Fast loading.
Otaku Senshi Gallery
Cute. I really enjoyed looking at these. The collage one of Sailor Moltres looks really cool. I wish I had the patience to do that...I made one of Sailoratris for a pic of Sailorjupiter....I liked it until one of my friends pointed out that 'you can see her underwear' from beneath the skirt. TT() About Astera This section explained a lot that I couldn't have found out otherwise. I really like it! (Sailoratris: Why don't I get a section written about me? Ari: Shut-up, Atris. I'm working on it...)
Astera Art
Hmmm...these are also fun to look at. Mere's site moved to http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/syrin. The first Sailor Supernova pic was a dead link (in the 'We are all one' section). It was all so good! =^^=
Opals Art Wow. I really liked the ones by Meredith.
Sailor WarsSite
Oooh...this sounds like fun! (Atris: Sign me up! Ari: Not now, I'm busy.) When I was here, it was during the 'Sailor Cancer VS Guardian Star Light' battle. I really like this idea...I think I'm going to enter...I have a question though. When a person's otaku senshi is up, do you e-mail their creator to watch? Contests The contest when I was reviewing was the 'Most Creative Death Scene Contest!'. Sounds fun. I though it was funny that you said that people could kill Sailor Astera again if they wanted. =^^= I read the first two, and liked both. A little bit morbid, but there you go.
Quizzes
Yay! I'm a Chibi Chibi Moonie, a Chibi Moonie, and a Moonie! That last text was hard!! =^^= Guest Map I left a message! I'm number 13! =^^=
Learn to Draw Sailor Moon I was lazy and just looked at the pictures. Looks good though! =^^=
Japanese for RP
Hmmm...I though 'Ne?' just meant 'What?' That's what I told my mom, anyway. There are a lot of ways in counting in Japanese, too. =^^=
MIDIs
The two marked 'Inner Senshi's Transformation' and 'Sailor Starlights' Transformation' sounded like the same thing. Is it possible that they are? I've heard the Sailor Satrlights transform with that music, but not the inner senshi (that I remember.) You have a great selection here. ^,^ The one labeled 'Miracle Romance' I think more closely follows the dubbed SM theme. I got through the transformations and Japanese midis before I decided to move on.
Merchandise Hmmm....now I now where to go shop....
Polls Interesting polls. Not the typical. ^,^
Season Summaries La la la....Ari-chan's become lazy....err...right...back to reviewing! La la la...looks okay to me...
Win Awards Wow. My only question is, is there a place posted on your site that show's who's won your different awards?Message Forum- That's cool.
My Awards Too *much*! (Ari's brain rolls over and dies.) Err....nice section? I'll just look at the pretty colors...
Sister Sites You had a very unique way of organizing that. =^^= (Read FAQ and wrote...) I agree with why you did that. It makes sense, even if it makes navigation a bit harder.
Links The JEDI page was really helpful. I'm trying to give a name to a really important character, but I needed help.
FAQ This section seemed to cover every question I had, or could think people might have.
Link Me Nice selection of buttons. As you can see, I choose the button that actually has words on it. =^^= There can be many sites that have the initials 'SSC'. It's also good that you put the HTML code on it, and explained how to manipulate the code.
Thanks Yay! Now I get to find out where you got your coloring blanks! =^^=
Join Otaku Senshi SiteRing Cool. I may try to join later.
Webrings & Cliques Hmmm...the Soulmates clique has moved to www.dreamless-day.com/soulmates . It also might be helpful to note that Sailor Orion's site has moved to SailorOrion.Net, making the link you currently have up for the webring useless.
About Sakura For a little while I thought this was about your otaku senshi! =^^=
Contact- Includes everything but the mappy thing. Guest Map?, I think it is.
Site Map- Basically everything I've already seen presented in an easy layout. =^^=
Well, overall, I really like this site. I don't think there wasn't a part of the site that I didn't like. So, now the scores:
Info-60/60
This site was very informative on their characters, and very well though out.
Finished-10/10
Let me tell you, there is a lot of content on this site. The bandwidth alone probably costs a fortune.
Layout-10/10
A moderate amount of pink, with the well used frames makes for the perfect layout for this otaku shrine.
Graphics-10/10
The graphics didn't take very long to load, and were used in a manner that didn't take away from the content of the site.
Loading Time-8/8
Considering the times that it was necessary for the pages to be graphic-intensive (galleries) the pages loaded rather fast. Or else that was just how well my computer felt like running.
Future-2/2
The Sailor Wars look really fun... =^^=
And so the score is:
100%
