| July 16th, 2001 CCS vs CC http://www.ccsvscc.com 
(9 stars)
Design and Layout: The layout wasn't flashy and great. Big deal! It was so easy to navigate and fast loading that it didn't even matter. Not to mention, the site was extremely consistent from page to page providing return navigation on each page. I love sites with that... I'd also like to note that instead of having their update information on their main page, it is instead in an easy to spot link to another HTML file, thus keeping the font page from looking excessively cluttered. 2 out of 2 stars Organization: Once again, I had no trouble finding anything in this site. Not to mention, if I happened to get lost, it was easy to get right back to the main section for the topic I was interested in because there were links on the top of every single page. 2 out of 2 stars Advertising and Broken links: Not a problem here. I don't think I encountered a single broken link. And they don't advertise anything which is great. Aside from their amazon.com sponsored store, I doubt they're making any profit off of their site. Which really means that they're doing it because they want to and not to make money off of someone else's idea. 2 out of 2 stars Content: This is where CCS vs CC excelled. I don't think I've learned anywhere near this much from any other website. I don't watch the American version, it comes on at 8:30 on Saturday mornings and I just don't have that kind of dedication. But this site completely filled me in on all that there is to love and hate about it through their summaries. The only thing I found a bit misleading was that they do not actually compare episodes and tell you what is different. I guess you get that after reading the episode summaries but unfortunately they don't have that many completed for comparison. Like, either they'll have the Japanese version done, or the American version complete, but not both of them. This is a point where they can improve. However, there was a lot of information on the little tidbits in CCS like the fact that the main characters names are flowers and a very descriptive glossary. And the episodes that they do have complete are fully illustrated with screen shots from the episodes as well as a step by step commentary. 1 out of 2 stars Overall: I would come back to this site with the hope that they'd added more summaries and comparisons. But if they're not added, I don't think I would continue to return. I really like the site, and the webmaster makes awesome music videos (Wild Wild West ^_^). It's definitely one to check out. 2 out of 2 stars For a total of 9 out of 10 stars. Careful, you might learn something. |
