First Impression (8/10): Eh, why do I always get the sites with blood on their image? And splash pages... I hate splash pages since they're quite unnecessary. Anyway, I like your layout in general, but it's a little too dark for my eyes. It loads quite quickly (that's good) too. It's completely compatible with FireFox (my favorite browser) and Internet Explorer. I suppose it's pretty good in the other browsers as well. Good job!

'cause it loves you. Anyway, I use the splash page for an added "castle" affect and to show the requirements and resolutions that SC can be shown. I have debated with myself to get rid of it but I just seem to not want to. Nevermind, I am getting rid of it immediately since I'm sick and tired of making a stupid picture for it. Yeah, I realized it was dark. I think my monitor has a bit of an enchancer, even if it's set at 55 for brightness and contrast, and I did try to make it brighter. Of course it's compatiable with FireFox, I love the browser more than Internet Explorer. I hope it works good in others. Been told it works good in AOL Browser and Opera 9.

Layout/Coding(40/45): Like I stated before, it's WAY too dark. I can barely read the text and the title of your site name on the image, let alone the navigation. The text is so dark that I have to highlight it to be able to read it. I suggest using contrasting colors (black and white) or at least a lighter color. Otherwise, the layout looks completely fine and lovely. The coding looks fine too.

Cursed monitor I have. It looked fine on it when viewing it. I understand with the site layout all being dark on the IMAP since I had trouble seeing it and it seems that the light green I put behind it didn't do its' job.

Content/Graphics (17/25): One word. Fantastic. Lots of information on Sesshoumaru (no duh) and awesome screencaps/images, yet some aren't very high quality. I suggest you fix that. You seem to also have tons of fanfictions too! That's great! Most of your graphics (wallpapers and avatars), however, seem extremely mediocre and crudely done. On the avatars, some of the words don't make sense as well (I mean, Cookies & Cream? Winter Wonderland? Gimme a break.)

I tried making those images full quality, well some. I just find those that aren't really around everywhere and fix them up as much as I can. Yup, worked hard putting those fanfictions up. Heh, I'm not one to blend a lot or put a lot of effects like other designers do. Eh heh-yeah, they're old. Cookies and Cream was meant to be a crack at Sesshoumaru that now when I think about it shouldn't be up anymore, I'll take that one down but not Winter Wonderland since the picture reminded me of it and it was made when it was winter.

Link (3/3): Yay! You have our link up! :P

The Little Things (6/7): In your image gallery, there are a few dead images, and in your fanart section, there's a broken link.

Agh! Those sneaky things. I forgot to delete those fake ones when adding more images to the Gallery. As for the other, I seem to forgot "fanart" in the link. Boy, am I smart. Thank you, all fixed.

Use (10/10): Since it's a fansite, I'd say "GO AND VISIT SESSHOUMARU'S CASTLE NOW!" if I were a Sesshoumaru fan. Your site has so much information on Sesshoumaru and other things, I doubt Sesshoumaru fans would want to turn away.

(cleans ears) Good, that's what I was leaning towards.

Tips/ Advice: I suggest not doing an image map navigation, especially if it's hard to find. Just try a regular off-to-the side navigation. It would take much less clicks to get to the page the visitor wants and be more convenient. I also suggest that for the Entrance link on your navigation to be linked to the main updates page. And get rid of your splash page. It's totally unnecessary.

True. I may just stick to DIV Layers for SC since it's so huge now.

Total score: (85/100)
