Overall, I think you have a nice layout, and the use styles of font go nicely with the layout. However, for some reason, I feel like the bright yellow and red clash a little with the toned down greys and whites. This is just my personal opinion, but maybe choose colors that are a little more toned down or a closer together on the color wheel? Aside from that, it looks like you have everything you need for a manga/anime rpg. It looks like you have a plot, rules, a face claim, and all of the other things you need. I also like how you keep the different areas that you can rp in to a short list, while its divided into sub-boards for more options (another personal opinion, but I noticed that none of the sub-boards were visible from the main page, sometimes its nice to be able to see what the board has inside of it, it also lets the members know that more options are available). I hope this helps

Hi @hoofbeats! Thanks for taking the time to review the forum, I really appreciate it. I definitely see what you mean about the colour scheme there--I'll see what I can do about toning it down some. As far as the boards go, though, I'm curious; you said you couldn't see the list of sub-boards on the main page? I logged out and I could see them just fine (granted, the list is a little small and hard to read, so I'll probably go in and change that). And yeah, you're right, the boards we currently have probably aren't enough for the members to roleplay in, but I kind of did that on purpose; I've got another category hidden that'll be open after the first event, but I think I'll look into adding a few more places for the members to post in (because like you said, the selection really is quite small). But again, thank you for the review; I'll definitely be implementing quite a few of those changes.

Oh wait. Sorry, but I didn't notice that the sub-boards were below. I think I was looking at the ones without sub-boards and just assumed that none of them showed them.

Haha, no worries--the lists are pretty small anyway, so there's another thing to fix.

Good things, - It seems that you have a lot of detailed content
- The site looks pretty organized and I like how you have the areas arranged
- Your banner looks really nice and creative, it definitely is good for catching peoples eyes
Not so good things, - The white boards is kind of glaring, I would suggest more neutral colors like the highlight color you have
- It seems that you have a lot of the default images/logos for the forum, I would suggest creating your own to make it more personal to your website. A little customization can go a long way in the eyes of new members
- In my opinion I like to see the borders of each board, to me it looks more organized, but that is totally up to you
- You have the default news fader which is incredibly small, I would advise downloading a plugin for the v4 news fader so that it is bigger, easier to read and to see.

Star's Legacy thank you for the review, and I'm sorry I'm so late to reply! I just updated the site with a new skin, using some of your suggestions as well as hoofbeats. The colours have been toned down, and I am working on some custom images as well as making the news fader larger. Again, thank you for the review!
