R2 Cover Hunt--15th Edition

[jmarken]

Welcome to the 15th edition of the R2 cover hunt. As usual, I'll leave the previous thread (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1148796&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1) open in case anyone wants to continue to comment on anything there. Do feel free to do that, but any new covers should go here. As always, thanks for contributing!

[Suwako Moriya]

Heh Dap Capo Season 2 Volume 2 isn't that special, but it's sort of cute. Ie it's good enough. However I like the Pani Poni Dash Volume 1 cover. For multiple reasons. Heh I'm even more convinced that they like to show off Rebbeca. Err I've said too much. In regards to covers posted in other posts in this topic. Yeah the Aria box is rather nice looking in general. The Shuffle volume 3 cover is nice and simple. Of course Futago Hime volume 5 is cute just like every other volume. As for the rest err I don't care enough to comment right now.

[treatment]

not sure if this is the official cover or if it had been posted before.

i wasn't too sure about this since i saw it a CD Japan first (i'm still not too sure), but excite has it up and they're fairly accurate.
so temp image of SoltyRei vol.1 (http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200511/07/35/e0025035_1933217.jpg). Not a temp image, confirmed to be the cover.

edit: well i was hoping for Carmen99 but instead we get this very cool cover of Van and Ray. Obviously fitting cuz of the amazing ep.5.

[Suwako Moriya]

Paradise Kiss Volume One looks nice over all. In regards to the other covers in the topic I actually care comment on. Petopeto Volume Three is rather pretty over all. Aria Volume One cover and etc looks rather nice. Finally yes I like the Negima Volume Six cover. After all it has one of the best girls of the series on it.

I wonder if the Arika with the other two girls rotating will become a pattern. If so that would cover 19 different girls in the end. Hopefully Arika will wear a different outfit each time in the end.

I'll agree with that. Though it does look a little silly, but at least it's still pretty. I wonder if this means every 5 DVDs we'll always get a new Ichigo cover.

I so hope FUNi get Bleach; that cover rawks(yes, it even warranted the spaz spelling). I'll buy it purely for that cover; who knows, this time, I might buy the whole arc...

According to Neowing (http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-2230) the 15th Anniversary Memorial Box that was released back in May was re-mastered from a new telecine print and these upcoming releases are from that Memorial Box. ...Not sure if the Memorial Box lived up to the promise of better video quality.

Well considering this is manga art, wouldn't it be a problem since Tokyopop has the rights?

So let me just clear something up. You had to preorder all the volumes at Animate to get this box? I can't just walk into the store and buy it, eh? What if I bought all the other volumes at the same time? (I'm not that rich!)

It's too bad it's a preorder thing or else I could have got a box for people if they wanted. /images/graemlins/sad.gif

I bring to you 2 awesome covers and Eureka 7.

First up is My-ZHiME vol.1 (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/05/01/BCBA-2418.jpg)

a no brainer on who'd be on the cover, plus i already mentioned who would be on it along w/ who's gonna be on vol.2. It's nice but also bland cuz there's no background.

2nd is Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG Individual Eleven (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/04/48/BCBA-2344.jpg). I posted it before but this seems to be the official and final cover which I must say totally kicks ass and is much better than the previous one.

Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven vol.6 (http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_service/images/b_image/BCBA-2255.jpg)

yeah, i find it kinda weird that there's no background too as the previous series had some nice ones to go along with. Maybe there'll be a 'final final' one, though i kinda doubt since all labels are intact there.

Well considering this is manga art, wouldn't it be a problem since Tokyopop has the rights?

[/ QUOTE ]
Not a bit of it. They only hold the NA distribution rights for the manga series (ie, the books and it doesn't look like they even have the extra material from the Japanese LE versions), they don't own copyright on Loveless art as a whole. It's very rare for an artist to sell the complete rights to a piece of artwork for a series they own, and even if they *did* sell TP the exclusive rights to whatever they currently hold, it wouldn't include the rights to any Loveless art subsequently produced by Yun Kouga. (Well, actually it *could*, but it would have to be specifically written in the contract that way and few artists in their right mind would sign a contract like that.)

It's too bad it's a preorder thing or else I could have got a box for people if they wanted. /images/graemlins/sad.gif

Isn't it possible to order from Animate? Last time I checked by email with the Yokohama mail order branch (admittedly a few years ago), they told me they were able to ship overseas IIRC. The problem I then ran into was that there were no economic payment options from Australia. But perhaps they may accept an international postal money order from the US.

However, there's the disadvantage that Animate sells at the recommended retail price, whereas Amazon Japan takes pre-orders at a significant discount. Depends on how much you want the bonus goods.

While doing some random browsing I ran across this image:

I presume you're referring to the Animate internet site at:

But the Animate web shop is here:
http://www.animate-shop.jp/
It's this site which I queried about shipping overseas.

As I said, it's been a couple of years since I last emailed them. Maybe things have changed. But if people outside Japan want to buy Animate goods, they may want to try contacting the web shop in case they are willing to ship overseas.

3 volumes total. (12/4=3) I can't find any data on the second LE except that it will again be two discs and something about Ai Yazawa. CDJapan doesn't have anything on it and bablefish makes a mess out of of what Amazon.jp says.

Edit: Okay, somehting about a "photo stand"? That part's in katakana, so...

Oh, a small note about that box. From the looks of it, it looks like a packaging box made out of semi-sturdy plastic and not (technically?) a series box. Still too pretty to throw away though.

most likely is. while it's nice, it feels kinda lacking for some reason, i just can't explain it, i don't know maybe cuz i wished kobayashi would've done a more busy box art for the last one, however, this does keep it tradition. Or maybe the combo of Tenma and Harima seems kinda meh in that picture. i... don't...know.

I should feel ashamed for not noticing this post. I mean I'm supposed to be one of the few people that actually has watched the series. In any case yeah it's a pretty nice cover. Kanashi is divine. On a side note looking at the Happy 7 V1 cover in another post. I guess with 13 episodes and thus probably 7 volumes, we'll see a cover dedicated to each of the seven members.
