R2 Cover Hunt--16th Edition

[jmarken]

Welcome to the 16th edition of the R2 cover hunt. As usual, I'll leave the previous thread (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1186792&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1) open in case anyone wants to comment on anything in that thread. Do feel free to do that, but please put any new covers here.

Happy cover hunting!

The Official VAP site for MONSTER has the box art and jacket art for the 5th and final DVD box for the series up here (http://www.vap.co.jp/monster/video/goods.html). Also if you click on the "Premium" you´re going to see the firstpress Climax scene diorama for the box (it´s a bit spoilerish though).
A full image of the Naoki Urasawa art used for the box can be seen at the main site here (http://www.vap.co.jp/monster/video/).
I really love the art for the final box (thought they´d use Johan for it, but that´s just sweet ^_^).

It doesn´t only look beautiful it also is beautifully done by VAP. I really enjoyed the extras included on the Boxes so far, especially the pictures of the series´ staff travelling through Europe to take location pictures/impressions was really neat (and the ones from Munich...it felt like "he I´ve been there too, I know that street, etc.") or the textless ED (featuring a compilation of the story told via the ED in one go was a pretty good idea as extra IMO).
I´m looking forward to what "new animation" the Premium DVD will actually contain *so can´t wait*

I think you just like blue a lot, since I find the cover to rather dissappointing for an eye candy show. IMHO it looks rather boring and the lighting effects hurt my eyes. I think in the end I will be skipping getting the R2s for this one unless the series does a 180 soon and begins to have actual plot.

But yea, pretty disappointed with CE cover and the box (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/05/08/BCBA-2393_ADD.jpg) the First Press comes with looks rather lack luster as well. If they wanted my money they shouldn've gone with those other images in that ad picture for the box.

as you can see the RE is black whereas the LE is red.

I heartily approve of the style for the Naruto 4th Stage cover. Hopefully, by the time we get back to actual story, they will come up with a similarly good, but possibly less 'happy' theme.

Anyway, I'm just happy that I can get the show on DVD. The bonus "items" are just that, bonus, although they are not much of a bonus either. The OST CD would be a nice bonus to have but it's not included /images/graemlins/relief1.gif

I have the OST CD. The one thing that's disappointing is that it has every BGM and vocal except the next episode preview music.

I'd really like a CD-S of the ending from the movie, because it's named the unintentionally now horribly inappropriate "REMEMBER SEPTEMBER." /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

NegiMa Magic 7 (http://www.negima.ne.jp/release/KIBA-1218.jpg)

I was kind of hoping for Ayaka instead of Makie since Ayaka had a bigger role in the anime (I was REALLY hoping for Chisame, even though I wasn't expecting her). There's also a link to the box (http://www.negima.ne.jp/box_sample.html) for the 7 volumes (plus another DVD, not sure what it is, maybe the OVA/concert DVD that came out in March or the concert DVD coming out in the spring) and the Pactio cards (http://www.negima.ne.jp/card_dvd7.html) included with this release.

[Rogueman_8]

both covers for FMP! The second raid vol.5 (scene08+09) are up (http://www.tdd-1.com/0401/131.html).

both covers for Full Metal Panic! TSR vol.6 (scene10+11) are up as well (http://www.tdd-1.com/0401/132.html).

It says that volumes 1-6 are not included.. which implies that the extra disc, whatever it is, is.

yeah, u should really use some spoiler tags like jarred mentioned, i just realized in the previous post which i replied to (*changed*). anyways, if you must know <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>some of the ppl are simply parallel versions of the characters of the FMA world in the real world, hence the lookalikes, there's roy, 2 new charas for the movie (noah the hot gypsy chick, and chick at the top is dietlinde). Up front is Ed, then Al (in Ed's old FMA outfit) and behind Al is a look-a-like of Al in the real world, also named Alphonse</span>.

I agree that this image is too busy. With the series having a six volume release the artwork seen above would be better suited for a collector's box.

Personally, I would've gone with a larger image of just Nanoha &amp; Fate to start off or feature contrasting characters paired together such as Fate &amp; Signum or Vita &amp; Nanoha.

[Suwako Moriya]

I have to agree the cover would work better as a box. Still with six volumes there are quite a few characters to cover. Fate, Nanoha and the Cloud Knights are a given. Then there is Nanoha's two best friends. As well as Hayate, Yuno, Arf and Chrono. Heck a cover of Fate and Chrono together would be kind of nice.

that cover would've been sick overall, if the background wasn't green (IMO). Still, Hitsugaya looks ways awesome.

He should definitely get a cover considering they are following the arc and putting the appropiate person on the cover and Byakuaya is a major fight.

Yeah, this is one half of the image from file 2's LE. So, I think CDJ messed up by mistakingly putting the full image for vol.3 on vol.2 cuz that would obviously make more sense.

They're under $50 each, if it helps. That motivated me enough to preorder both.

I barely resisted with the earlier box with the Kouga clan but now the box with the Iga clan too... /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif The 2 boxes would look super side-by-side. I can't afford to pick up so many series on R2J at one time /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif I wish FUNimation could get permission to replicate those 2 boxes for the R1 release.

are there any extras with these, and more to the point.. why do the LE version have three discs? Is it like with Uta Kata where they released box sets along with the regular discs?

And while I'm on the subject of extras.. does anyone know what the Jigoku Shoujo extras are?
