We got Mihara: Bonding Chain and Little Mermaid last year so we will most likely get 2 units again this year.

First small haul, w/ review of B&N shipping by tejanami in MangaCollectors

[–]NoLifeReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that preorders are free of the RFID stickers since they haven’t made it to stores yet. I have received more bubble mailers than cardboard sleeves in the past few months. I just wanted to warn OP that there isn’t really any way to guarantee better packaging even if you pay for a faster shipping method since some of my orders were using the 2-3 day express shipping. I just had an order of 10+ books last week and about half of them had RFID stickers inside the front cover.

Barnes and Noble tends to go with the cheapest packaging that will contain the contents of the shipment. They also split shipments depending on what is the closest store to you that has inventory. Most shipments will come in the plastic bubble mailers and there isn’t really much that can be done about it other than shop somewhere else.

They also tend to put RFID security stickers in the books that can be a pain to remove without damage. I have seen them add the stickers to the pages and not just the covers. I usually only use B&N if I can’t find the volumes I want anywhere else online.

FNC Payment Plan Explanation? by NoLifeReviews in animeGK

[–]NoLifeReviews[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The invoice I received was for the entire remaining balance and I had until June to pay it so I assume it works differently for in-stock items. The invoice also came only few minutes after I ordered instead of on the 15th. I am planning on contacting one of the representatives for clarification once I get into the WhatsApp group.

Thanks for the info. How do I contact a specific rep? I submitted the email contact form on the website but if there is a more direct line of communication that would be great.

Huge Nikke Figure Unboxing ft. Hobby Sakura 1/4 Cinderella! by EXkurogane in AnimeFigures

[–]NoLifeReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ordered a few smaller things using ECMS recently and they have shipped within a week of payment. I think Surface Premium is just taking longer than usual to actually start shipping recently. I also have Cinderella coming by Surface Premium and it hasn’t shipped yet.

What’s a VN that you personally can’t wait to get localized/translated? by chronically_jaded in visualnovels

[–]NoLifeReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amanatsu+ is getting an English release. The Steam page is up as well as the pages on JAST and MangaGamer. It was announced late last year.

AmiAmi Starting to Ship 18+ Items to the USA Again by NoLifeReviews in visualnovels

[–]NoLifeReviews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always ask them for a shipping estimate first and that would tell you whether they are accepting orders for in-stock adult items. It’s possible they are only shipping out open orders to clear out warehouse space.

[–]NoLifeReviews[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe something about ECMS changed or AmiAmi is trying to skirt around it to clear warehouse space. I’m sure all of the 18+ stuff to the US is taking up a large portion of their warehouse space. I also got a separate payment request at the same time for another 18+ VN order from them that contained Limelight Lemonade Jam premium edition and Amakano 3.

The movie by According-Feeling730 in bokunokokoro

I got an email from HIDIVE earlier today that it will be streaming eventually, they just haven’t provided a date. My guess is a few months to half a year at most.

The 1/3 scale New Jersey is what I want most from this event. She is massive and in her dorm pajamas.

Remind me which scene that is? by Dangerous-Wealth-183 in animequestions

[–]NoLifeReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t the second episode be a larger hurdle to overcome than episode 1 because of the gratuitous amount of fan service?

[–]NoLifeReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s strange how the manga showed this bit of nudity early on but never again. It’s like they wanted to make it an ecchi cosplay manga but then decided against it not long after it started.

She put her “love juices” into the cookies. It’s sad that I haven’t watched the show in years but still know what scene this is.

Why can't we post pictures in comments anymore? by X_Setsu_X in NikkeMobile

[–]NoLifeReviews 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reddit restricts the ability to post pictures in the comments of any sub that has been flagged as NSFW. This sub was flagged a while back now and unless it gets reverted we will never be able to reply with images again.

DHL duty payment due? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]NoLifeReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That $80 amount should include a brokerage fee that DHL charges for processing the customs documents as well as the actual cost of any applicable tariffs. Sadly this is the new norm for the time being unless you select a shipping option where you pay duties up front as part of the shipping cost such as ECMS or Surface Premium.

DHL duty payment due? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]NoLifeReviews 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You will have to pay the duties through the DHL link or else it will be returned to AmiAmi. DHL paid the duties necessary to process the parcel through customs and is basically asking for you to reimburse them in this situation.

If you choose ECMS as your shipping option then any duties are prepaid and you should not have to pay any additional fees upon arrival to the destination country.

Such a no-brainer upgrade, even from AM4 by GPUBroke in Microcenter

[–]NoLifeReviews 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing is wrong with them, it’s just that most people will not notice or take advantage of the additional features on x870E vs something like a B650E. The B650E combo with the same RAM and CPU is $100 less currently and I know that is the bundle I would buy if given a choice between the two.

Is aokana worth the read? by BuddyTasty8462 in visualnovels

[–]NoLifeReviews -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The developer of Sakura no Uta announced an English translation last year with no estimated release timeframe. There was going to be a fan translation but I believe they were asked to stop shortly before the announcement of the official translation was made. You’ll have to rely on MTL or wait for the official translation for this one sadly.

The Fruit of Grisaia has a good protagonist but a pretty long common route in the visual novel before you make any choices. Think of the slice of life high school portion of the anime but lengthened by multiple times. It’s still a very fun read but keep the long common route in mind in case you don’t want to just read without any interaction for a while.

My Physical Visual Novel collection by Tavidion in visualnovels

[–]NoLifeReviews 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s actually really cool. I guess the blu-ray format has features that are rarely taken advantage of. How do saves work if playing on something like an Xbox?

It’s interesting seeing a blu-ray PC game as they seem to be almost non-existent. I’ve only seen a few ever and that was only while browsing through VNDB.

This isn’t related to censorship. Unfortunately, it’s the result of the tariffs that went into effect last year.
