Yeah, it's on SMJ to file a complaint, but if it was Express (and the date they gave you was the Saturday), then SMJ should be able to get a refund with USPS. They finally sent me an email with the tracking number and I should be getting some goodies today.I'm definitely in the same boat. I haven't really done much since my Marks order but there are so many covers that I want to pick up. A lot from Evening Call, a couple from B&WStore, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous covers that are popping up on the blog.
Doing a direct comparison of the roika Ankokoubou used this time around and the P80 2WT (I assume the roika is P80 as well, but it is different than roika they've used in previous covers), I'd honestly say that the roika is the better material short of the wrinkling.
The wrinkling sucks, but if it could be ironed out it isn't more than a minor pain in the ass. Their 2WT doesn't have any wrinkling though, the way 2WT should be.
The feel of the material is largely a matter of choice. P80 2WT does have the fairly rich feel to it, and the roika doesn't feel as good as other roika materials, but it doesn't feel bad.
However, the roika wins out in terms of looks; P80 2WT has always had that grainy look to it, and this case is no different. The coloring on the roika is also far better than the coloring on the 2WT.
I'm jealous, you've got a bunch of nice stuff.

What is odd is that I enjoyed the premium demo of DOA 5 more then I did with this game.Not surprising. Most people bought Zone of the Enders just mainly to try out the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo. >__>
But yes, but Shogun said: how is the demo? I'm actually excited for it, but NG3 is flopping like this, I'm worried now.
Well, there are several changes in the overall gameplay. First is power blows, which is basically a charge attack that leads to a series of attacks and prior to the final hit landing, the game slows down for a slight moment allowing you to control left and right to hit your target to your desired area. And when you hit off an enemy off the area of a stage, you get options to take them down via a special throw or attack.
While it seems the power blow seems kinda broken(that's what several people have been worried about), it isn't. The startup animation for the power blow is obvious, it's only good when your opponent whiffs an attack.
Visually, the characters have now a more realistic look to them and they also will sweat and get dirty during combat. Hitomi when she wins, her white singlet turns transparent by her sweat till you can see her bra.>_>
Well, I bought the collector's edition and to be honest. The game is rather lackluster in comparison to Sigma 2. Only a single weapon, a single Ninpo , lots of Pointless QTEs that detracts you from the fast paced action and pointless Kunai climbs. The graphics are improved over Sigma 2, but my point is, everything should have been better.

Hmm, was probably going to pass on that Noreal cover, but that is indeed an awesome bonus. Might have to double check when it's shipping (and when I'll have to pay) to see if I can fit in it. If I do, probably fully nude with juice for me. Comex doesn't have much I like at the moment, though they did have one cover on BonCool I was considering. Even so, it's awesome and I hope more and more circles decide to take an internationally minded approach to their websites. I think Evening Call has been the greatest victory so far, but I'd love to see other prominent circles offering international options somewhere down the line.
So amped! Less than a month until Evening Call ships out the 4 covers I ordered direct. Shit nearly put me in the red in regards to funds. I'm slowly, but surely climbing back up into the padded safety zone. :)
Also, what is the NoReal pre-order bonus? I can't check ATM.
I already mentioned it, it's a 150cm x 150cm microfiber illustration of the girl(Non ero)

Damn, the new Carnelian cover is looking pretty good. Yah, just sent a mail over to Yokotta to grab it for me now. I don't want it to end up like my previous carnelian cover, took forever to come thanks to a late pre-order.

Looks like COMEX has opened up an international webshop, http://store.comex.tw/index.phpSeems like they took/acquired the same ui as Boncool uses for their store. Currently when signing up for an account I can't select my country (though I can put down "Europe" lol) from their dropdown menu, but I guess they'll have that sorted shortly...
Dunno, their selection seems rather poor though.
But the Yuyuko Cover they have catches my eye.
This month is where I'm rolling on the floor, I'm ordering about 6 covers from Evening Call and 2 from No real.~_~
Worst still, I purchased a ton of games this month.
Woohoo!!
Boncool screw me the other time , I had 5k credits missing from my account, today, they gave me another 5k as a apology!

just thought i asked does anyone where to get some non-henti ones i prefer themlike this
ebay
ebay
they are very cheap ones please do not buy these ones i am goona get them soon
AmiAmi and Hobby search have a nice selection of non-hentai covers.
And don't worry, I'm pretty sure none of us here will ever buy from Ebay.
A small amount of covers just arrived. My 2nd copy of Miku(3rd hasn't arrived at SMJ's warehouse) and 2 of evening call's Sena.
Just tried out Matsumoto and I have to say it's like a mix of AJ 2WT and a 2WR
It's not as stretchy as most 2 WT but is smoother then a 2WR but not as smooth as AJ's 2WT, another I notice is that the print is more vibrant almost as good as AJ's 2WT.
Of course,my photos are rather bad but you'll be able to find out yourselves when you guys get yours.

And from Evening Call's current/upcoming lineup, I'd like Hitagi, Inori, Rias, Kaine, and Mira.
Double edit: Looks like Ankokoubou currently doesn't have any plans to put their Winter Comiket goods up for mail order. At least that's the meaning I take away from translations of their site. :(
Gee, so you're gonna grab them all or something?
That's good and bad in a way, Boo I won't get to get some cheap Duplicates on theotherhand I don't feel that bad getting 3 copies of Ankou's Miku COver.

Yeah that pic from evening call's twitter account was really tempting lol :p shame I didn't get any of those ones ;( got the rereleased boncool Sena yesterday, and should be getting an old koume keito cover which was on mandarake ~tomorrowish.. so I shouldn't be complaining about ones I didn't get I guess!http://sengendo.a.la9.jp/index2.html actually give photographs (the images that link to .zip files instead of to the webpages for a particular cover) of what the dakimakura will look like (i.e. the samples they got back from the manufacturer). That's really nice, wish more people would do that.
Hmm, never noticed the zip files for the actual end product, but that circle has long been one of my favorites for their awesome sample images. It's definitely the way it should be done; large scale samples with even larger detail shots.
And yeah, Kobun, I'm feeling it too. So many covers I want to buy, but I'm completely broke right now. T_T
Broke is the last thing I should ever hear from you in all honesty.ORZ
If anything, all I want from Evening Call is Lili and Senjougahara. At least for now.
I dunno , Golden Darkness looks kinda weird.
Anyway, Evening Call's Sena has reached SMJ's Warehouse!

Heh, did you go an win another Miku cover? Think it's the original roika, but I can't say for sure. Haven't had any wrinkle problems with mine and it feels pretty similar to my other Anko covers. But yours is the one from the My Bride event, right?
It's the same as the first copy I've got.
I'm concerned because it seems this cover was re-released on the event after their web order.
Just out of curiosity, wondering if anyone knew this Anko cover from Super Heroine Time event is made of that shitty roicot they used for the web order covers or is it the original Roicot they have been using from P80?

Yeah, my interpretation of the translations I've done is that someone at Matsumoto died, so they (Matsumoto) have stopped all new orders/printing temporarily, which is why Evening Call is using Seiren for now.
That would suck if Matsumoto is superior to Seiren though.>_>

Rereading it, it just looks like they can't use Matsumoto anymore for some reason and are switching back to Seiren. It sounds like the current batch of covers won't be changed in terms of censorship, but if they have to stick with Seiren, I'd imagine that would change. Hopefully we won't really notice any differences and it will be business as usual.Hmm, maybe it got blocked by a spam filter/was sent in batches or maybe they only sent it to people who's orders would be directly affected. Like if I ordered a cover they'd have to alter and you didn't. Who knows but hopefully you'll get a copy. If you don't and you want to try your luck with the translators yourself, I'd be more than happy to copy/paste the text for you.
So is Sena still being shipped as schedule?
That sucks though, I saw they have a lovely Senjougahara cover I want to get.
Sena should be fine, since it's set to ship in 2-3 days. It just looks like they're cutting off operations with Matsumoto, due to some problem (the translation I get mentions a death but I have no idea), and they'll be switching back to Seiren for now.
Spoiler:
Actually, from what I read(your mail), it's states that due to an incident the person in charge of the company who makes Matsumoto suddenly passed away. So new orders are temporary stopped.
Kanji is kinda my forte.

I'm betting that it's going to be dialogue choices instead of voices unless it's simple phrases since it will be pretty hard for the game to accurately and consistently understand actual speech.What intrigues me alot is how the game will use the awesome AR features if any since its seems like a total no brainer.
Actually, you can use actual speech to communicate with them. Also, it's not just a fixed command. For example, when Nene ask me if I want to play a game, I can reply with Hai!! or Ok, or whatever text appears on the screen, you can say out those commands or just tap the commands on the screen.
Of course, in normal play, it's all dialogue choices.
Anyway, Just wanted to show some of my New Love plus stuff.
