can i use any type of packaging to ship via USPS? i have an extra UPS express pad pack and don't want to look awkward or get rejected using another carriers packaging when waiting in line.

Thanks for the responses Haak and RWBladewing.

I'm gonna watch Guilty Crown, then if I can get my hands on the VN for Chaos;Head (unlikely), I'll watch the anime first, and then the VN. But if not, I might just not watch it at all.

I'm sad that it's not close to par with Steins;Gate, which anime review sites also show a significant rating difference.

USPS does end-destination delivery for UPS, so I don't imagine that they'd mind UPS packaging. Even if it weren't UPS packing, as far as I know they don't care about the packaging type - just make sure that there are no bar codes or address labels from previous shipments.

If you're really worried about it and it's possible for you to do so, you could always swing by your post office or stop your mailman/woman and ask them. Otherwise, I'd just go ahead and ship it that way.

Is there a place I can view a complete list of JRPGs coming out this year?

I mean COMPLETE list, not POPULAR ANTICIPATED list. That includes VNs and semi-announced ones like Tokitowa.

You should have said so, then. You only mentioned JRPGs, not VNs.

Even so those are all all anticipated titles which I have already known. Japan releases much more than that I believe.

That is one hell of a heaven. Thanks!

What about JRPGs?

grylsyjaeger · 2012-02-19, 07:21

Alright I've got another question regarding Japanese.

Again a question from Muv-Luv.

There's a scene during the Yokohama base incident where Tskuyomi orders her subordinates to ready their swords and to charge.

She says something along the lines of "A-Shotai, war cry!! Charge!"

But the word she used for charge has me puzzled. It sounded like "tsuzuke", would this be right? I thought she should have said something like "kougeki kaishi" or just "ike!"

DarkyPwnz · 2012-02-19, 14:18

I've seen some drawings of human characters with huge heads and proportionally very small bodies. What is that called and why do I hate it without knowing what it really is?

Haak · 2012-02-19, 14:28

I remember hearing once that it has its roots in the concept of the sensory homunculus.

That's all I know...

Dhomochevsky · 2012-02-19, 15:01

<-- chibi ?

Haak · 2012-02-19, 15:18

Oh lol, for some reason I saw "huge hands" as well.

Yeah it sounds like chibi.

DarkyPwnz · 2012-02-19, 15:24

Okay then,I hate chibi. It's dumb.

dragon4dudes · 2012-02-20, 04:05

Before we actually decide on "chibi" as the closest term, if the faces have exaggerated features of real people, then the term is "caricature." Of course, caricature is a general case of exaggerating body features in an object. However, in this case, I'm assuming it'd be a "Super Deformation" or a specific style of caricature.

BTW, all links are to Wikipedia.

DarkyPwnz · 2012-02-20, 09:09

Well,the image in the chibi page of Wikipedia describes what I meant,so yes.

Is there a way to customise leather flip-cases for smartphones?

Sumeragi · 2012-02-20, 20:58

A serious question: Where would I post my non-anime related stories?
