[Pulls out a saxophone] Hmmm... to hard to sing and play the sax at once.
[Calls in the backup singers] 1-2-3! LOADING, LOADING, LOADING!!!
This is a really long loader, made worse by the fact you have to wait for a huge image map to load up before you can go anywhere. Image maps are nice, but always, ALWAYS make sure you also offer regular text links. Especially for people like me! If you had text links, I wouldn't have to wait!
First stop, the picture gallery. There isn't any direct links (thank the gods), but I can't be sure where she obtained all these pics. I'm not going to say she stole them, but there isn't any details about their origins. The same goes for the multimedia files.
Now for the info. In Haruka's story...
"my American DIC Version name is Carynn (Before it was "Alex" but was changed by DIC)"
BUZZZZZ!
Wrong! It was never Alex, that was a name that came up a long time ago in a survey in alt.fan.sailor-moon about possible NA names for the Outers. As for Carynn, that's a new one on me. So far the best source is the Irwin dolls which says her name in North America is in fact, Corrine. Whether or not Dic will use this name we may never know, but Irwin must have consulted DIC before deciding to name Uranus.
"I am actually a male, yes a male, that is.... I was a Prince of Uranus"
[shakes head in shame] Yet another person led astray by the SOS' false report. Naoko Takeuchi, creator of Sailormoon, has since stated Haruka is a woman, has always been a woman, and will always be a woman. Yes, the SOS was wrong. Can you believe it?
Tommy? Saturn's North American name is Tommy? I'm not going to touch that. I'm just going to back away while I can.

Might just be my resolution, but the right frame was really tackily set up, all the text was centered awkwardly. Next, everything took about five million years to load up thanks to huge image maps and logos. Thanks. On to the information... This page is one real doosy...

Claims that "Follow the Leader" is a DIC invention, when it's not, it was an actual episode in the original. The whole Haruka story is crap, totally made up and totally unsubstantiated by *anything*. It calls Haruka a boy in her past life, says her dad left her when we know nothing about her parents, made up a lie about Serena and her kissing, reinvented SMS and Stars, and is basically screwed up. I dunno what other crack the owner's on, it lists Saturn as "Tommy, Scout of Power" and Uranus as "Carynn" but her name was "Alex" before DIC changed it. The Starlights are "Guardians," the generals are the "princes" of the inner planets, the scouts/senshi have "Shadow mates" as the weird sisters. I dunno what the hell some of the names are for, like Chibi-moon, Rini, whatever it's on. Molly is Sailor Earth. There are four seasons and that SuperStars or something is the last one. Says that being a lesbian is something that happens when you don't know what you're doing: "well, yes I know, you might call me a lesbian, but I knew what I was doing." Says Galaxia with her Heart Destroyer Machine wanted to take the Talisman. The Outers protect "Mamoru Chaba/Darien and his Moon Kingdom". "Sailor Galexsia, who turned to be Neo-Queen Serenity's sister from the far away moon kingdom in the past". Descriptions of the pictures are all off (plus the pics are all stolen).

My personal vendetta on what the page owner says: "I find it actually pretty normal, for girls that is, because they can understand and support each other like best friends; but it's a whole different story with the guys First, guys don't understand what Romance means and all they practically do is hang out with other gay guys, be gay and have a gay bed-buddy, but you can never find that in girl who are deeply in love." First off, that is really offensive, secondly she's full of (sorry to our younger visitors, if any) s*it. "Two females that are in love are like sisters" and being a lesbian is fine except "when you try to do all the legal age activities." You know, if I was a lesbian and did half the things Michiru and Haruka do to my sister, I'd be arrested and shipped off to a mental institution.

WAI! It's my turn! Since Cere-tachi took care of all the information stuff, I guess I'll stick to the fun OTHER stuff. ^_^;
Ooh, this looks pretty. First stop, links page. Eew, I really hate link pages that use banners for the links. First off, it takes forever and a day to load up...second...well, there IS no second.
You know, this is very difficult to navigate. I mean, I have NO idea where this information section Cere-chan & Jun-chan referred to is. Ack! Oh WOW! Mistress Irina prints her address on this site, what a bad idea. I think maybe the site was changed since we've reviewed it? Aww. :( Oh well, I give up. On to the next site.

Page: The Clouds

Do I feel lucky today? Well, sort of, so let's take the frames version.
This page loads up in somewhat reasonable time, the frames version layout isn't incredible, but it works just fine.
Ahww, now I find the long loading. The image galleries do not need those two large pics for only selecting if you want group pics or individual pics. Use something smaller. Within the galleries there are properly thumbnailed pics but the owner did forget the links to the full size versions of the pics in the moon gallery. The pics all seem to be credited on her credits page, and none seem to be direct linked, so other than those few problems I stated earlier, there is nothing really wrong with this gallery.
There are quite a few glitches in the info sections. Most of the info for the Inners is based on the DIC version; sometimes a bit of details about things DIC hasn't dubbed yet leaks in and causes some mixing of versions. However, the biggest problems are in the Mars and Pluto profiles. Mars was not taking Kindergarden kids on a bus when she was first introduced. As for the Pluto profile, I was just plain confused by it.
This site actually has some potential, the creator just needs to clear up a few errors in the galleries and re-read some of the profiles and revise them a bit. The nicest thing is, at least Maranville is trying to be original. She isn't copying anyone or using only those plain old stats.

First page: Insanely large picture. Galleries: Again, insanely large pictures that just take you to more pages where you can choose which 'scout' to pick. Pics are all taken, many are huge transparent gifs, all are full sized and sometimes not linked. Info: Pluto's a scout called "Plu" and her best friend is "Chibi" and she marches down the street with baby Saturn. You know what's sad? This guy/girl can't even get the DIC INFO right! Calls Mars just "Mars", claims Mars is in charge of kindergarteners, claims Mars was fighting Jedite by "taking things into her own hands", and claims Mars says "Mars Prism Power" to transform. Darien gets sucked up by Queen Beryl, and Luna thought Serena was a scout by the crescent moon on her forehead. Mercury's best friend is apparently Mars. Basically mixes Japanese SM with DIC SM and made-up info. Chibi Pink Heart is Reeny/Chibi/Chibi Chibi's attack. Villain of the Month section: "Since we have grown up in America, this section will be revised with the new stuff soon. Thank you." What the hell does that mean? The Nega Moon is now the Black Moon with English names, Saphire supposedly loves Emerald, "Sister-Her Match" implies the scouts are the nega moon's sisters, and the site claims CereCere is seen in ep 89. Graphics shop- JOKE everything from her site is taken from someplace else.

Hmm, I decided to take the "No Frames" route. The background is very pretty, but it's ill placed, not to mention the fact that the corner-border stuff looks weird in the middle of the webpage.
Well, my ningyou, it's time to "Learn!" Ooh, what a beautiful image map. Unfortunately, it's incredibly big and also ill placed. The middle section looks like Usagi-chan's eye is leaking. Let's see, character info. I clicked on the angel Usagi .gif and now I'm at...another badly positioned table. "Her transformations that she uses normally are Moon Prism Power and Moon Crystal Make-up!! Her main two powers are Moon Tiara Magic and Moon Wand Elimination, even though she has many more." DIC SM uses the word "Make Up?" and it's Moon Wand Elimination? Hmm...seems like even her DIC info is somewhat screwy, then again, I could be wrong. The page that shows Serena's transformation is really kawaii cauz it has this adorable little transforming Usgai.gif...but, the transformation is into her Super transformation.
Okay, onward to Saturn's page--"She stood side by side with Sailor Pluto when she was going to die because her adoptive parents were going to kill them. She was then reborn and grew to her old size within a matter of minutes." Yes, it's true (to some extent) that that occured, however the chronology is wrong. Also, Saturn isn't quite one of those magical dinosaur eggs you pour water on and she turns big in seconds! Rather, she was reborn and grew to her original age, but over a period of some time. Saturn's only friend is Chibi USA...heehhee..gomen ne, I just thought that was funny. (Chibi-Canada, DOKO DESU KA?!?!)
Okay. I'm done.
