Version 5.0, Fantasy. It was about five months since my last layout change and I was getting really sick of looking at the other layout (not that I hated it or anything). Plus, I was annoyed with how similar my layouts were starting to look. So I put some music on repeat (namely Iwao Junko and Ayaka Hirahara) and refused to allow myself to eat or leave my room until I finally made a new layout. So here is the result. Something completely different than I ever did before. Shocking, isn't it? And now only is it different, I made sure that this layout works in both firefox and Explorer this time - go me! And yes, it's Takiko again. One day I will make a layout with the seishi in it! You don't know how close this was to being a Uruki layout.

Version 4.0, Morphing Thru Time; a layout dedicated to the time travel in Genbu Kaiden as well as to Okuda Takiko - the best character Watase has ever created, the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho and the entire universe of the book. I was listening to Enigma while trying to decide what kind of layout I wanted to make, and the song Morphing Thru Time started playing. I felt that the song was perfect for a layout and was also inspired to make a layout, because the song almost perfectly describe the Genbu Kaiden series and everything that I wanted to describe. Version 4.0 of GenbuSeishi.com was very similar to my linkage page on my personal domain, Hyouden.net. I really have no idea why, I was playing with some scans while making the layout, and started doing whatever popped into my head; and it turned out almost the same. I liked it though.

Version 3.0, Hyouden. Hyouden means field of eternal snow and I also thought that it was a good name for a layout featuring my one true couple, Rimudo and Takiko. The name describes their relationship, which will end in disaster as we all know, and the genbu seishi. With version 3.0, I've given up on the dark theme for a while, which was kind of sad because right before I changed the layout I figured out how to make the tables on the old layout work. Oh well. So this layout should work find in both firefox and internet explorer. This is also the fourth layout made to go with my blue toned layout spree. To be honest with you, even though I absolutely adore the image I used, I'm not too crazy out the layout itself. I think it may be because this layout tends to follow the same pattern as all my other ones, and I really had wanted to make something a bit different. Of course, the navigation has changed as well.

Version 2.0 - Fuyubare! Fuyubare used to be one of my online nicknames before I dropped it a while back. The name means clear winter day in Japanese and thought that it would be a good name for a layout with the Genbu seishi. Of course, you can see that version 2.0 also features Takiko and Rimudo, since I love them so much and everything. And surprisingly, it's a little bit darker themed than I usually make (since I'm not good at making dark themed layouts). But, I like it. I wanted to get a certain feel across and I think I managed to show it.

This layout uses tables. Yes, the dreaded table. But with what I wanted to do with the site, which is change it from a site collective to one big resource, tables seemed to suit my purposes the best. As always, if you want to view the layout as it should be, please use firefox and a 1024x786 SR. It looks ok in IE, but the tables are over on the right; I can't figure out how to fix it.

After; That's right, this layout sucked so bad that it wasn't even special enough to get a name. Poor little layout, I almost feel sorry for it. Actually, the only good thing about this layout, methinks, is that it's my first frames layout in a long while, in fact, it's my first ever since I changed from IE to Mozilla.

Before; Version 1.0 is utterly terrible. It's a horrid horrid mess and was made when I was in a big rush to get this site up. However, it's good point is that it features my favorite FY couple of all time; Rimudo (Uruki) and Takiko. Yay! Also, that this is the first frames layout that I've been able to create since converting to firefox, which is the best browser to view this layout in. How I missed my frames...
