Cryptic Aura Studios

URL: cryptic.samurai-spirit.org

Welcome to Cryptic Aura Studios. This is a great site. This is a very slow and very cool web site. Its not updated as much as many sites as its a lay back web site. The owner create a site called Samurai Spirit as a Samurai web site. After some problems and well coming up with ideas and then not doing them and then losing most of his free time to having to work he decided to close Samurai Spirit. In its birth, him another music video creator made a site called Cryptic Aura Studios. The ideas was to be a lay back web site met for the point of only be a music video site for him and his other video editing friends to show off their work. I think it has paid off for them.

The Webmaster/Staff: The owner you may know as Majin Trunks, owner of Majin Planet. One of the biggest DBZ/Music Video web sites ever. Majin Trunks is a hard worker and really knows what he’s doing. He’s one of the best html coders I have met in years, he has some things to learn still but he is fair better then about 70% of all html coders out there. One thing I like about him is how much he’s just out tells you like things are and what his option is. He’s one of the best and is very respect around other webmasters and fans alike. Another thing I find great about him is how much he listens to people and because of how fans ask him, he does. I have learn as of the date of this review he is bringing back his old site Majin Planet, I look forward to this return.

Site Design: Very simple and well for what the site was before its transformation into Cryptic Aura Studios was well very nice and overall good. I really like this layout as its simple. The overall green color theme is something that I don’t seem much. When I first saw the layout as when the site was Samurai Spirit, it look much like Naurto Fan and a few others which had gone with that style. One thing that made this site different from the rest that I have seen. Majin Trust has a away of putting a different style into a site and then making it different and which this is why fans respect him. As the site turn into Cryptic Aura Studios which followed the same design and even has all the content of Samurai Spirit it has worked and I love this layout. It is no wonder someone try to rip his layout not to long ago.

Graphics: The design and style of his graphics are very cool. He’s not a big graphics editor has his thing is music video editing. However saying that he is better then about 50% of the webmasters who say they are “good” at graphic making. The design of the layout is very cool and even know I am not really big on the style of the layout I can not talk bad about it nor can I say its bad. The use of jepgs and gifs are very good.

Design Code: I know what Majin Trunks is going to say about this one. Man come on its not bad, hell I am the best out there. Which you are the best. You code very well. However missing skills to met today’s standards. I couldn’t even run the page in the validations services as well there is no doc type and the validate on the W3C site is picky like that. So I had to look at the code myself. Well its not perfect as well there is missing ” all over the place. A must thing to do these days are to use the quotes every time you using a elements. An example would be when you make a table. When you add the element “width” he using width=100 when you should use width=”100″. See the different’s? The use of two style sheets is a no no and should be one style sheet only. Using two can cause problems. The elements “leftmargin=”0″ topmargin=”10″ marginwidth=”0″ marginheight=”0″ ” was created by Netscape and Internet Explorer so they’re valid HTML standard. I could go into a few more big fixes here but me and Majin Trunks talk about it as well he’s going to work on it. He knows he using standards and is willing to change over time. For that I gave him a higher score base on the facts that he is willing to change.

Navigation: Its very good. Its nice and well easy to get around. We have two menus. A top menu with basic links to information and then a side menu with links to other sections and his friends as well as to the other members of the Studio. Its very simple to movie around but some times you can get lost in the sections as the way the menu is once you get past the main sections. For me I think it could be from top to bottom and not left to right and just in a line. Just me but I find that to be well a little lazy but then again its totally different so maybe I just put my foot in my mouth here and before I know it, it will be the new thing to do on webmasters.

Content Quality: Super good and there isn’t anything wrong with it other then I wish there was more. Majin Trunks, Breeman and DacoolGohan have a super great section of music videos to choice from and they are the best around. The anime content is killer and most of it was done from the old site and was added to Cryptic Aura Studios. The radio blog has some of the best music and is different from most radio blogs I see. More so the best section of he site is the music video tutorials. This site is one of the best I have seen and I know that the return of Majin Planet will just add to the legacy.

Finally I like to say that this site is the best. No questions ask. A few problems here and there but nothing to create any problems and its just to bad that some people don’t like him. Why is this? Well some feel that he keeps closing his sites and then reopening them for no reason. I know how hard it is to run a site and running a site can be super hard if you have other things in your life. With the return of Majin Planet on the way and more videos and projects from the studio I can see that the future is bright and the legacy that Majin Trunks started will live on and go down as the best. He gets my approve as a killer web site.

Pros:
- Nice overall message board
- Kick ass music videos
- Great anime information
- Good Music video tutorials

Cons:
- Needs more anime information
- Could have some music video projects
