OVERALL:
You seem to update things regularly; a lot of people visit your site. You have decent content and like to hear feedback. You have all the right things but in the wrong places. You have the idea of what you want in a site and you can clearly see it in your pages. The site maybe a little confusing at first but when you get used to the contrast of colors you get the idea of it. When you first enter the site you see banner(s) which indicates what kind of site it is and what content you offer. The organization is pretty off and could use some work on that area. It’s one of the better website that I’ve seen on Freewebs but, in the ‘real, not real world’ it’s not a very functional site.

Intro/Welcome Page
Pros:
· I like the Final Fantasy and Kakashi banner.
· I like that you have links in your tagline section, I think you should add more links such as F.A.Q, Support, Contact Us, Forums, Sponsor, Partners, stuff like that, maybe it would clean up your homepage a lot more.
· I like your online guest widget though I think it should go towards the farthest part on the page.
· I like the music on the homepage. You show your latest content on it, that’s a nice feature to have though the new stuff you add should be at the top.
Cons:
· The second banner you have is very slow and slows down your webpage considerately although I like the affects the logo gets in the way.
· "http://otakudesuka.webs.com, http://otakudesuka.tk??" These links are very confusing they take you to the same place; I think you should stick to one.
· The disclaimer shout have a page in its own, you could site it at the bottom of the page where your sign in and sign up links are located, which I like.
· The ads are very annoying and get in the way but I understand that some people use ads for their domain name hosting.
· Announcements should be in a blog.
· Links could go onto the new links application that freewebs offer.
· A separate donating page should be created.
Overall:
The Homepage is very confusing and un-organized. There are a lot of graphics and it's always nice to have graphics but too much is bad and you have to have them in the right places. Video posting is nice, really liked that, lets people know that you update your site and you get content in. Links on the sidebar are small and hard to read.
Content: ***** (5) [I'm not sure if this is good.]

Anime Episodes:
Pros:
· I like that you have lots of Anime to choose from, especially Naruto Shippuuden.
Cons:
· Again with the flash! Lol
· LONG list I think people should just see the video home page and they can pick what play list they want to watch. You get rid of pages you don't need this way.
Overall:
Less confusing but you click one link which takes you to another link which takes you to an ad page and yeah you get my drift.
Content: ***** (5) [In a good way.]

Movies/OVA's
Pros/Cons/Overall: I don't know I guess it's decent this way.

Download Gallery
Pros: This page is easy to get around, you know what your doing and it’s just simple but nice.
Cons: Nothing really bad to say just maybe a quick disclaimer. DWNLD at your own risk kind’ve thing.
Overall: I really digging this page, maybe because the other pages I visited have been confusing and hard to get around. White font is a little harsh on the eyes after awhile, especially with the black background.
Otaku Share
Pros: I think this idea is great, you involve your members and make a community by allowing members to feel like they can be a part of the site.
Cons: Maybe add more options for people to share
OVERALL: Great idea, Find The Crew recommends Wiki app to any or all freewebers.

Otaku Forums!
Pros: It brings people together. Forums are always nice.
Cons: Not every site needs forums. If you always had Forums and your site is longer than 1 year and a very popular site with no post, delete the forums, you don’t need them.
Overall: Not necessary if your site is popular and you have no post.

Otaku List
Pros: Clever, but sneaky.
Cons: You need to be a member to see the members??
Overall: I think you should limit pages like, the downloads’ page, you must be a member to download the anime and movies, or maybe even watch movies. It gets you more members and more interaction.

Stats And Affiliates
Pros: Let’s people know who visits and how many people visit. Also nice to show off your site and makes people want to affiliate with you.
Cons: “Cluttery.”
Overall: Nice, let’s people know how your site is doing, but very jammed packed.

Guestbook
Pros: You have a lot of signatures people seem to like your site a lot.
Cons: There’s a lot of spam.
Overall: Nice thing to have where guest can have a say and leave a nice little comment.

I know what your thinking, Why was this review so harsh yet I got a good grade? Well we review by normal standard websites, but we understand Freewebs is a little different. And maybe compared to other websites yours not make it on the top 10 but on Freewebs your site can be on Top 10 so that’s what makes it fun! . . . and confusing.
