I don't mean to be negative too, but...

We know _you_ like your new layout, you said so 
earlier :-)  

It obviously represents a lot of work, but the 
comments made above regarding the color scheme, 
line "drawings" and so forth all apply for me as 
well.  I just really liked your old design 
better.  I also don't want to fiddle around with 
settings in order to view a page (the animated 
Ryoko thing -- I only get the top of her head) 
because like many people I'm pressed for time 
when cel shopping.

It's hard to hear criticism of your work.  But if 
you weren't willing to accept any suggestions, 
well... why'd you ask?
