Yes they do. If it's good it comes over to America where it is translated by a certain company (mostly viz media) and then sold. I own some as a matter of fact.

^I wouldn't say "if it's good" because that implies a certain level of market presence. It's only an extremely small minority and the ones that come over are practically only light novels with anime adaptations that are somewhat known in the USA.

So basically unless you hear definitive news that there's a series that has been licensed by a company over here, don't hope for it. There is however as pancakes answered an existing "window" so to speak.

I believe somewhere between 50 and 70 liters, depending on what your definition of 'an average car' is.

No you didn't, the Crunchyroll ads are certanly there, although they only show up for people checking the forum as guests.

*The following is from another thread, but it is related to your question:

On the site (torrent index) the banners are now at the bottom of the page (as CR doesn't seem to have normal affiliate banners - only big rectangles & small buttons). On the forum I've moved them to inside the first post of a page of a thread and a button on the bottom the page.

It's generally used express as reaction when a character or person is found to be a extremely moe, or/and cute in some scene or image .

It is the prelude to a nosebleed, the sound a character (usually male) produces in a desperate attempt to prevent massive blood loss that would severely impact his physical and mental health.

Good example of a HNNNGGG moment: When Senjougahara nibbles Araragi's ear right after she talks dirty for a full minute or so in an episode of Bakemonogatari.

Alright, I am scheduled to go for a small operation to remove a part of an inflamed muscle on my right leg, and it requires me to shave my leg.

Should I shave the other one, or just wait until the right one grows back?

If I were you, I would shave the other one too. It would probably look funny if you had one leg shaved and the other one not, depending of course how hairy your leg is.

[MeoTwister5]

Shave em both so that they'll more or less grow at the same rate, unless you wear pants exclusively.

[SaintessHeart]

Shaving both on Friday before my op. Honestly speaking, I still don't get it why I am supposed to shave the whole leg instead of the part where they make the incision.

Now I can't wear shorts again, and the hot part of the year is coming. Blooming basket case.

[MeoTwister5]

There are you usually two main reasons for shaving the hair off an area with wide margins:

1. Hair growth gets in the way of the healing of the suture and the skin graft you're likely going to get.
2. Hair follicle roots are potential sites of local infection, and you won't want that causing an infected suture.
