It gets all the main characters on the cover, but seems rather busy. Sentai for whatever reason went with art by the original illustrator rather than the anime designs.Rosencrantz said:

Not exactly a UK release but...
Hanabee and MVM's release has to look as good as this and have the same features. I won't forgive them if it does not.
Nice to finally know however that it is 1080p and not 1080i, and there also seems to be some nice extras too.

Ye the sentai cover's not bad, Just I think the MvM one's a better fit. though I just noticed it's 2 discs, while sentai did 3. On the basis noone wants to spend more money than they need to that would suggest Sentai went for 3 discs becuase the files were bigger and they needed 3? which would kinda imply the UK release on 2 DvD's might not be as good, though 6 per disc is the usual so I dunno?

Oh MVM.

That brick wall like collage of pictures. That procession of logos marching across an otherwise blank area. That left aligned title in a rectangular space with different margins to every side. That uninspiring monotone spine. That sodding disc pictogram.

MVM clearly feel it's their duty to teach us to count.

Indeed. This made me chuckle:ilmaestro said:
It brings forth an amusing mental image of the logos being called into action and sent onto the battlefield to do their duty.
My only problem with the Ano Natsu cover, disc count pointlessness aside, is that they've put an image of the male lead on the spine. Someone needs to tell MVM that he's not the reason people watch that show.

MVM's Kids on the Slope cover looks like it#s based on Hanabee's rather than Sentai's:

It'd be nice if they could swing by this thread like Manga did and consider revising the practice.
I feel like they are forgetting the basic idea which is
Make the customer pick the item up
Giving all the info on the front is detrimental, what you really want to do is have someone see something that looks good, pick said item up and look at the back. The blurb and pictures used for the back need to seal the deal on the sale. There's plenty of room on the techincal specs section to have a little disc logo, it doesn't need to be on the front or even really on the spine.

Lol, as things go that is still better than disc logo's and triangles

I actually hate this design, especially the spine. It's like MVM don't have enough money in their budget for Colour ink.
Sentai's cover easily looks the nicest, Hanabee at least has some colour on the spine and less white, then we have MVM's which looks like something you would print at home.
A massive disappointment seeing as a few of their latest covers have got a bit better.
I know I'm being incredibly petty here, but I may have to get Sentai's BD just for the nice cover/disc art. This really does look that bad.
If someone from MVM reads this, If you want me to buy Kids on the Slope from you please give it a good cover. Hell, just use Sentai's cover and slap on the mandatory clutter like the BBFC logo.
