April 2004 Winner: Demon Soul http://demon.dragondesigns.net Description: A general InuYasha and Kagome site with information, games and images. Rating: **** Layout: Beautiful, is efficient and loads quickly. Very easy to navigate. Content: Featuring information on the story, name meanings (which is quite interesting), a little on Takahashi (creator of InuYasha), Lyrics... Special Qualities: They have a nifty lil' puzzle you can do, also they have unique avatars and buttons. The Fanfiction section is another site itself (really) lol. It's impressive though, at least you are able to see more than just Inuyasha fanfiction. The mini movies are nice as well, those take a while to put together, looks great. Ending thoughts: What they mainly need to focus on to make it a superb site is getting those sections filled. So far for character profiles it's just InuYasha, the gallery is quite small as well. They have the basics of it. I know they can do a lot with what they have so far, it just needs to get put together. I do love the layout though, very much so ^.^ I hope to see this site keep it going-- I'd hate to see such a gem go to waste! March 2004 Winnner: Trust http://www.inu-koishii.net/Trust Description: A general InuYasha and Kagome site with information and images. Rating: **** Layout: Very unique and eye pleasing graphics. Content: They have excellent well-rounded content so far. Ranging from a gallery, to interactives such as to ask the InuYasha characters a question etc. They have info on the main characters and about InuYasha and Kagome as a couple. Being a Inuyasha/Kagome site, it fairs in content. Special Qualities: Iron on transfers....I've never seen that anywhere else. lol. I don't have the material for it, but it's pretty nifty they have that. Making that section with a more variety would make the site even more unique. Ending thoughts: Very nice site and is only getting better. I love their use of graphics. One thing that really needs something that "has" to change, is the main text. The main text is perhaps a foreign text to my computer, it's so HARD to read. That's the only thing that brings this site down. On my computer, it's jagged, and scrunched together. It's very, very hard to navigate because of it. It causes me to try and highlight the words so I can see it better. February 2004 Winnner: Inuyasha Network http://inuyashanetwork.vze.com Description: A general InuYasha site with information and images. Rating: ***** Layout: Professional, clean, and very eye pleasing. It's simply gorgeous. Content: Extensive variety..."but" it all needs to be filled out. A lot of sections are "up and coming." Once they have everything filled out it will be pretty awesome. Again, this site is pretty new. Special Qualities: MP3's and the gifs. are an interesting find. The screengrabs are very unique, offering 100's in one episode. What they have so far for screengrabs is episodes that haven't been seen here yet. Very impressive how many they have though just for one. Ending thoughts: Amazing start so far. This site can easily turn into a major heavy weight for InuYasha sites, by this I'm talking about sites such as InuYasha World.com. The layout system is great, all you need is the content to make it top notch. January 2004 Winnner: Kakkoi Inu Yasha http://www.kakkoi.com Description: A general InuYasha site with information and images. Rating: ***** Layout: Excellent and simple. I like how it shows everything on the side bars. So, you don't have to surf around, just go to what you want. Each layout she has is always creative /\_/\ Content: Has a nice variety of bios, more than your general main characters. Not of it is done, but what she has so far is pretty good. Nice gallery, which is divided up into characters and couples. Special Qualities: The overall site is just so eerily appealing. I always enjoy coming back to their site. Ending thoughts: Great site. For improvement wise keep adding into the content, such as finishing up pages that are not done yet. Some images (mostly of the pages that weren't done yet) had an error. Text and layout is excellent. December 2003 Winnner: Flowers For Him http://flowersforhim.cjb.net/ Description: Dedicated to Rin/Sesshomaru with general information regarding the characters and relating ones. Rating: **** 1/2 Layout: Layout is quite nifty. From when I first seen the site a while back ago, their layout is always something to awe at. It's simple, clean and easy to navigate. If anything, some font was hard to read with the contrasting background. Only one dead link from what ive seen. Overall, the site is very informative and fun. Content: Very nice info on some sesshy "moves" w/pictures included if available. This site has a great "Fun/Humor" sections and has a neat section to where you can talk about your thoughts on something. As with every site, adding more content makes it better and stronger =) Special Qualitys: Give Sess. a makeover is quite amusing for me =) It is amazing what a little makeup can do 0_0. Also I like the articles that disscuss such things as the "tail" issue and "Rin" among other things. Ending thoughts: I hope this site will be staying around in the InuYasha ring of sites for a long time~ I don't see too many Sesshy/Rin sites anymore, so this is a nice change. <<previous
