[pulls out the Hurdy Gurdy] (If you don't know what that is, look it up!)
Loading, loading, loading! [Sends the monkey around to collect money]
No money? Okay, I will admit my singing isn't that great, but look at the monkey! Isn't he cute?
Ahem, okay down to business. As you guessed, this is yet another page that takes a long time to load and allows me to torture you with the Loading Song. It also happens to be a "takes forever to load and then you discover it just completely wasted your time because there is nothing to do page".
Wasteful use of JAVA scripts all over, broken pics, five (yes five!) Adopt a Sailor Senshi things which don't even work due to direct links. The only things you can do on this page is join a chat or sign up for fan clubs.
Excuse me for a second, I have to go chase a monkey...

VesVes

Rotten page, give me my CPU power back! And for the 5th time, I do not care about your adopted Sailor Scout! Black type on a black background is a definite no-no. Everything is ungodly huge (pictures, type, you get the idea). I feel for the 655 people who have mistakenly wandered to this page. Please don't allow yourself to be another victim of such horrid HTML. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm tired of my CPU usage meter being spiked by this page...

JunJun

I don't get the need to repeat the same stuff over and over about how you adopted senshi or scouts or whatever, why not just put it on another page or for God's sake, DON'T adopt a Sailor Senshi? The font alternates between mega-huge and normal, there are a lot of broken links and weird HTML doings. It's a really bad page to go to, with nothing much there except annoyingly bad HTML skills.

PallaPalla

Well, this is loading fine for me. But I do have a fast modem. Let's see what sort of lovelies we have here. Well, first we have those freakin adopt-a-senshi things. Wow! She's adopted almost all of them!
CereCere-san, remind me never to apply to whatever awards this page has won.
Umm, there is nothing of any value on this site. So, I'll waste my time on the next site.

We rarely have someone for a bad review twice. Actually, I don't think we have selected anyone twice since NeptuneSS, the winner our very first "Worst SM Page Award". However, welcome back to the AQ reviews Sailor 1357!
For those of you who don't remember, Sailor 1357 or Cloud, was our July 1998 Winner of the "Worst" award mainly because the page faked and ripped of some interviews with Naoko Takeuchi and Terri Hawkes.
Cloud's latest creation, "The Sailor Moon Station", completely rips off the layout from http://smhs.simplenet.com/realplayer/sm.html. We are told some of the pics are also ripped-off from the SOS, but I couldn't verify this.
The real fun is on the news page. http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Harbor/6591/news.html says,
"the sailor moon s project is almost done in the making 2 months ago cloud the president of the sailor moon station had a meeting with creator naoko takeuchi and her translator also at the meeting was dic, toei animation, supporters, and more others, who were there to doubt and cheer cloud on as this tough dission (decision) was made naoko gave the contract to cloud and dic have to follow cloud's orders now 2 months have passed and cloud is almost done with this project."
This really is a case of "some people never learn". Oh by the way, placing a mailing address directly to your house on a webpage is a big no-no, at least if you are under the age of 18. That's a major, major safety error, and you're asking for trouble. If you ever absolutely need to provide a snail mail address on a personal webpage I would suggest renting a small P.O. Box from your local post office or from one of those packaging supply stores that supply them. It's a much safer way to go.

VesVes

My, oh my, where to begin? From the index page you'll become acquainted with the all too familiar broken picture links. Don't get your hopes up too high, since broken links in one form or another seem to be the norm for this page. Once I made it to a subpage, my senses were assaulted with the horrid spelling and formatting. I encourage you to not waste your time. There isn't anything here (even if you do manage to find a linked page).

JunJun

The set-up is ugly, slow loading, and most of the pictures on the index page don't load up at all. Some of the profiles weren't bad since they were just stats, the others just didn't work. I think thi s person needs some psychological help. I'm sorry, but anyone who makes up a page, steals the format from someone else, then invents a story about he's a big time corporate involved in all these supposed SM deals with Takeuchi herself cheering him on NEEDS to be on some sort of medication or program. I also do not understand why a SM page needs to have cosplay pictures of non-SM people and why there's a dedication to Aeris from FF7.

PallaPalla

Well, the site *looks* pretty. Don't you hate when bad sites look good? The better a site looks, the more people think they should listen to what's on a webpage.
Ne, I feel bad giving a bad review to a person who supports us. But, being a supporter of our system means Cloud-san should take our advice to heart (or he was trying to get away from a bad review).
Hmm, Cloud says that DIC handed him the contract and has to follow whatever he says. I seriously doubt that. Uh. Yeah. Nice page.

Now where did that monkey go? Oh well, I will have to do this by myself I guess...
Loading, loading, loading... keep that page a loading... LOAD-ING! (the extended version!)
Actually the loading isn't that bad. I have seen a lot worse, and it could be fixed easily. There isn't a lot of junk on this page, but there are several, oversized link buttons. To fix the loading speed, reduce the size of those link buttons. They could be reduced to at least half their size and still do the job, but faster.
Hello, what do we have here? Why does this page use frames? Hey, don't look at me like that! Yes, it doesn't look like there are any frames, but there is. I opened the source code and behold! It's a frame structure with only one frame. That is just a waste of code and a pain in the butt for people with older browsers. Not to mention it's a waste of the author's own webspace. Dump it.
This page looks like it's mainly a pic gallery. There is a very clearly marked credits page, on just about all of the pages so I won't go looking for stolen material. However, the information on this page is wacky. On the very first page... No there isn't a sixth season being made. This has to be the stupidest rumor on the go right now. (Thanks again SOS!) Even if part of this rumor was true, things would be only in negotiations right now. However, not even that has been confirmed yet. Next in the page marked "Information": Alex / Eric, is not NA Haruka, Michelle is not NA Michiru, Susan is not NA Pluto, and Saturn? Well, she is neither Christine or Helen. (Thanks again fandubs!) Helios is not the North American name for Pesugus. That is his Japanese name! Chibi-usagi is known as Chibi-usa. Usagi is her real name, but when the "chibi" is used she is only called Chibi-usa.
I also have to mention the statement from the Pluto gallery. "Pluto was rumoured to have taken a fancy to Neo-King Endymion. I do not have much information on that though." This rumor is not true. A rule to remember, if you do not have much information on something, and if you doubt it's true, chances are it isn't. So don't say anything about it. It's better to skip something than later end up with egg on your face.
This site may turn out to be fine if the loading issues are taken care of and the sloppy information is cleaned up. The layout generally works fine and she does a good job marking her credits page and using thumbnails throughout.

VesVes

This page is certainly pretty, but it takes far too long to load. The large buttons and side bar contribute a lot to this. I must admit that I was a surprised to find the information on the senshi not on info page, but on their individual gallery pages. I can understand putting the 'things to note' (about linking, credits, and such) at the top of the index page, but it gets redundant and annoying to have to scroll through it every page. The gallery pages themselves were fast loading using thumbnails spread over multiple pages. This page wouldn't be half bad if the noted errors were resolved.

JunJun

Another bad site posing as a good one. Sooo many hits, why is this bad page so popular? Oh well, if SOS is bad and it's popular, there must be justification for this one somewhere. The set up may look pretty but is actually very inconsistent and messy.
There is NO confirmation that Takeuchi is even planning on doing a sixth season. Chibimoon doesn't arrive in SMR, Chibi-usa does. The Outers appeared to look for the Talismans? Honey, they DID look for them. Her summary for SuperS is screwed, Saturn shows up not once in the entirety, and the SailorStars one is messed up too, Chibimoon does not fight against Galaxia. Information page is a joke. The Outers do NOT have NA names, and why the hell are there "NA" names for Chibi Chibi and Kakyuu? It's Pegasus, not Pesugus. Uranus: For some reason, it states Haruka's a girl then for the rest of the page calls her a "he". Many pics are mis-sized. Garnet Orb, not Time Orb. Some frames are misdone. I *don't* know why no info is given on Moon but is for others. Not Fire Snipper for Mars. Chibi-usa, not Chibi-usagi, and she did not come to the past to get Usagi to save NQS. Neo-King Endymion? So Setsuna's officially 22 now, is she? Ugh... the font in the Saturn section is REALLY small then gets to normal size; all the info in that section's wrong, of course, heart crystal and not star seed, she's not a scout, and she's not a goddess. SailorStars, not Stars, and the Starlights didn't come with Kakyuu. Terrible grammar. "We all heard of the verse, "Women are from Venus while Men are from Mars"." What the hell does that have to do with Venus? Does that mean Rei is really a man? Really redundant statements- Ami's the water senshi and then her powers are from water. ChibiChibi didn't pretend to be Usagi's cousin, she was acting as her little sister. Why the hell does it matter that Saturn's the youngest "scout"? That doesn't necessarily mean she's SUPPOSED to show up last. "Tomeo" and SS as the third season. BLACKMOON is NOT Darkmoon kingdom, Dark kingdom is NOT the Negaverse, the four sisters' names are the NA ones though it uses Japanese names for the others. Blah blah blah. Hah, the credits thing is a joke, I think, since I see more than a number of pictures made by people whose sites aren't credited. Why is the title called "SailorMoon Fantasy Homepage" for all the pages but that's not its name anymore?

PallaPalla

This page is very visually nice, at least the opening page is. This page has A LOT of potential. When I first started my site, I made some mistakes too. It's a shame we had to give this page a bad review, but I'm confident with some work it can be a great page.
I don't personally want to review this page negatively. If she could fix some of her wrong info, then her page would be just fine.

What the heck? What did I fall into now?
Haruka Hunka-Hunka Burning Love Webpage? Either this is a shrine to Haruka or a bad "Elvis meets the Sailor Senshi" fanfic crossover-type thing.
This whole page is very odd. If you know certain characters are homosexual and want to group together some shrines to them, that's fine. However, rating them according to how much of a lesbian they are? When you are not even sure if they actually are homosexual? Errr... A lot of these ratings are a real stretch! I wont get into the characters from other anime, but Michiru... She is a little bit of a lesbian? A little bit? Haruka too? Maybe this person read the Prince Uranus thing that was on SOS page or something.

VesVes

It's admirable to want to celebrate lesbians, but you should make sure that the people you're celebrating are lesbians first. Priss is not (to the disappointment of many). It's clearly stated in the manga that the reason she dislikes the AD Police is because they killed her boyfriend. But I digress...
There are a few minor layout problems. The background for the Haruka and Michiru page is a grey block pattern with black text on it, thus making it somewhat difficult to read. There is also the problem with the family names of Haruka and Michiru being misspelled. (Tenno was used by VKLL, and that is the only place you will find it. Kiou is just bad spelling). The background for the Anime Lesbian Worship Page isn't kind on the eyes when combined with the white text. It's readable, but I can feel a headache coming on.

JunJun

First: the title of the page is enough to make you puke, enough said. Yui picture? I don't care *what* the reason, if you're making a page to Haruka, you don't use an anime character that 'sorta' looks like her. (ParaPara's 'clarification' is irrelevant.) What the hell. This site claims that Michiru and Haruka have a "sister like bond" and that Haruka is only a "little" lesbian because the site owner believes her to be in actuality bisexual because he has some sort of thing for an anime character. "Kiou" and "Tenno". The site claims that because Michiru kisses a little KID for giving her roses- he is Chibi-usa's age- that she must be bisexual since he's a boy. In the manga, it never says or shows Haruka and Michiru sharing a bed. Okay, so after trying to convince everyone that Haruka and Michiru are sisterly bisexuals, he writes this little fantasy about Haruka falling for him, and Haruka being pregnant and all this total weird stuff. The Ogata page is basically a rip off of all the info from Hitoshi Doi's seiyuu page. A lot of the other anime characters aren't lesbian; I find it weird that this owner wants so much to believe that Alliele and Priss Asagari are lesbians but can't admit that Haruka is more than "a little lesbian"? Technically speaking there are a lot of spelling problems. I think that this owner seriously needs mental help like Cloud above. "How much lesbian is to lesbian?" I think the question is: "How much stupidity is too much stupidity?"

PallaPalla

Umm, why is there a Hongo Yui pic instead of a Tenou Haruka pic? They may look the same, but they aren't the same. Besides, I've seen better Yui and Haruka pix ^_^ (btw: the author must mean Haruka looks like Yui. Yui existed before Haruka did, that is Watase Yuu had Fushigi Yuugi's manga out before Sailormoon).
The Anime Lesbian thing is kind of interesting, but sometimes he seems to be stretching to find more.
Onto Michiru's Page of Flame. Ooh cool, a MIDI of Sweet Dreams. Okie, this was just an interesting comments page. To the guy who said Michiru & Haruka aren't gay, they are, get over it.
Here's another page which I don't think is particularly *bad*. Not good, mind you, but not quite bad either. Oh well. I've seen better, though I have seen worse.

Bouns Pages!
Because we received so many nominations once again this month here are some more pages that we just couldn't let slide, with brief reviews.

Comments:
Worthy of a Loading song! Very long loading thanks to a overly large index page and an animated title banner. There is no need to list the text links twice on one page. Email forms should also be on a separate page. The big problem with this page is how it rips off "Silence". (http://jupe.animecity.nu/jupe/silence/) It steals the quotes section and also some info without any credit or even a link on the link page.
