Umm...ouch?  I like it and think its much better 
than the older site versions.  The grey also 
helps to focus your attention on color 
images...aka...the cels.

Its not animated unless you visit the Flash 
site, as was sized down so the page as a whole 
is easier to view in smaller resolutions.  Thats 
why its a "light" page.

When the next update comes around I'll still be 
making the font larger for series with new 
cels.  As for the justification of the 
text....some like it...some done.

The current layout is fine.  However I have 
planned out the ability to make quick changes 
and modifications.

That all depends on your resolution.  If you 
would rather have the forum in its own window, 
simply right click and choose the "open link in 
new window" option.  That should cure the scroll 
problem for lower resolutions.
