Cool

 

[Rosencrantz]

Hmm, why do they feel the need to list each episode title on the back, kinda odd, unless it's a reversible cover?

 

[Shiroi Hane]

They've put the Bakemonogatari Part 1 DVD barcode on there as a placeholder for some reason.

Nice. Looking back through this thread I've found the complete box set art, but word was set 1 had it own art, can't seem to see that anywhere.

This is the cover that will be used for the DVD/BD Part 1 release.

Seems like a step back after the place holder piece. I mean, it doesn't look bad but it doesn't really sell the show either.

Agreed. I wasn't completely sold on the last one but this one is just a strange choice IMO.

Edit: wondering if that announcement is a box for the sets that will have the other artwork

Agreed, I don't know why on earth they wouldn't just automatically use the great artwork the Funimation sets had. Seriously why design a new cover?

Seriously why design a new cover?

It's the cover art from volume 1 of the JP release. I personally approve.

From browsing through MangaUK's twitter, it looks like they weren't allowed to use the original art they put up.

I like that new art though

Shame about that then, the new ones a nice enough picture but it doesn't leap out as an awesome cover

Seems odd that Japan would let everywhere except the UK use that artwork.

So now we have blu-ray art! At least it's not using a brick-style case, unlike the DVD.

EDIT: Wait, the white just makes it look bigger. DVD is in a normal amaray. I hate black amarays anyway.

I did like the old Stains Gate artwork, but I actually quite like that new art work. It's clean and not over crowded.

Like the art for the Iria release, not too busy design wise.

Is this a zombie? season one.

 

[Mangaranga]

That cover is unsurprisingly dreadful. I really do not like it one bit.
MVM have also lost a sale since it's a PAL conversion. NTSC/BD would have been a sale.

I like the front and back cover but the spine is a mess, all logos and square boxes.

Pre-ordered because it's half the price of the Funi DVD set, and I can live with PAL speedup.
