First Impressions - (Out of 20)
When viewing AnimeSphere forums I noticed a lot of wonderful things! First of being that the logo is neat and very well down. It matches the skin and buttons and all images around it. The style is easy to navigate to places "Users" might need to go to. Also shows all topics/ areas for guests as well to see what they are really going to be doing on your website.
One thing that I didn't like on first glance was the buttons telling if there is a new post or not. Reason being is because you see these "buttons" everywhere when it comes to forum software like that, Kinda seems like your not "too" dedicated to your website. I also noticed that you have 21 registered users which is not bad considering the date you officially opened your site to the public. Very nice job on your forums. ~cool~ (Scored 18/20)
Site Layout - (Out of 20)
The layout is amazing yet plain, It is amazing because it gets your attention but at the same time draws it away. Why is this? Well my opinion is because you should find different forum images, To more of your liking. To match the subject of the forums a bit better, And attract more users.
Also noticed that on the left hand side on the portal has nothing to display this just makes the whole website seem a bit plain. I strongly suggest adding blocks/information about the website their somehow, Just to fill in all that empty space. Other than that the style/layout is amazing keep up the good choices. ~cheesey_grin~ (Scored 16/20)
Forum Statistics - (Out of 20)
Your forum statistics are just plain amazing, Only 23 registered users, Not to many active. Yet you still manage to make a ton of topics/ posts not just by yourself! This is very good and shows how dedicated your most dedicated staff,members are and shows that people enjoy your website. Which is always good when having guests viewing your website for the first time.
One suggestion I have is to try and find more active users, Or maybe even tell your staff/ active members to keep their names on for a bit so guests at least think people are being active at the time. So when a guest is viewing it shows some people on and NOT no one as it did for me. I understand I did this review late but my idea would still stand as a good idea. For a newly growing community like yours. (Scored 13/20)
Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
It seems by glancing at your website that you take great pride in your website, With making sure topics are in their correct placement. And make sure that members keep their posting swearing ect.. Under great control. Which is always good because a website like yours attracts tons of minors. And it just looks bad when a website is swearing/ showing bad images ect.. when minors are on the website.
Which you have nothing to worry about in this subject because you are doing an amazing job on keeping your website a nice and friendly Anime environment. Keep up the GREAT work! ~cheesey_grin~ (Scored 20/20)
Spelling and Grammar - (Out of 20)
As I'm not into too much Anime I don't truly know about if things are spelled correctly ect.. But as most as I could find and search and just basically do some Anime homework, I noticed that you and your staff/members do a very nice job on spelling and grammar, Seems that most of your posts are readable with good senses in them. And everything is worded perfect and easy to read and understand without worrying about misunderstanding something. Very nice job once again. (Scored 20/20)

What I liked most about your forums/website is how well placed/ well used everything was. Looks like your using your website to its full potential, And I encourage you to keep going.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
The forum new post/no new post icons just seems like every new website uses this. How could I get you (The Reviewer) to join my website?
Probably by taking all the stuff I said throughout this review and trying to fix some of them.
