The "Eye Of The Storm" is characterized by the arrival of multiple large anime or other related items shipments in a short span of time. Some Eyes Of The Storm can last for an indefinite amount of time and are purported to be related to geographical location; although it's been theorized that financial forces also guide the movement of Arrival Storm fronts. _________________________ No matter where you go, there you are.

Been there Many-A-Time as well…. RightStuf and ether fye or Amazon all arrive same time.( sometimes all three ) I "know" my Mailman hates me because of all of the Packages, fye and Amazon packages would arrive with loose DVD’s. ( all the time ) I know he does it. ( Because all the loose DVD's defies the law of Averages ) Every once in a Blue Moon it happens with RightStuf, that’s because they pack their stuf so Well, it’s very hard for him to get a Disc to pop loose. P.S. I love this thread you’ve got going here kiku… _________________________ See it, Smell it, Touch it, Taste it.

"Don't forget the ever helpful Wikipedia's Glossary Of Anime And Manga" My take on it: Tsundere: Cold to warm. Kuudere: Cool to warm. Dandere: Tepid to warm. Yandere: Jealous and overprotective.

I feel a lot better now... considering I use their services on a daily basis. Not to mention they are quite possibly the world's largest repository of free information to people. _________________________ No matter where you go, there you are.

In the case of the post I made in the manga thread, my comment was indeed 100% true. However, that's not always the case. Technically "Nii" is Big Brother and "Nee" is Big Sister. San of course is just a standard honorific, but "chan" and "kun" could also be used. Onii and Onee are used when the younger sibling has high respect to their older brother/sister or the older sibling has a high status/reputation in society. For example, a noble or royal will call their older siblings "Onii" and "Onee" along with the "sama" honorific at the end. _________________________ Avatar: Hime from Princess Resurrection (Kaibutsu Oujo) Shopping at Right Stuf since 2003.
