[JP BD] Hyouka

[ultimatemegax]

Kadokawa refuses to update their listing with cover arts (which I like to add since they get more comments than the solicitation alone), but thankfully Amazon has added them.

Listed mid-August, volume 4 comes with episodes 7 & 8 to start the Baka arc. The cover art for the BD features Eru and the Zenna sisters while the LE DVD art features Houtarou, Irisu, and Eru in the background. The RE DVD art is Satoshi walking around town. BD Box 2 art/DVD Box 2 art

Included in volume 4 is the usual bonus CD with Drama portions/OST/Radio digest (sample), 16 page color booklet, and two postcards (BD/LE DVD depending on version and newly drawn artwork). Since this is the start of the Baka arc, both the BD and LE DVD come with a box designed to hold the three volumes it encompasses.

On the disc itself is location scouting, BGM recording, OP/ED recording, and a feature from the preview showing on April 14. Audio commentary for this volume is performed by Supervisor Takemoto and Series Composer Gatoh.

(as of this post, the additional art for both boxes has not been revealed)

This time I prefer the LE DVD art. The BD image isn't bad, I just think the LE DVD looks better. Well at least you get the image as an art card with the BD.

I do prefer the LE DVD as well. At least, we will have it as an art card with the BD. I still like the BD art (Eru with a ponytail!). I'm looking forward for a BD cover art with Irisu.

Updated this post with the box arts and the new postcard artwork. In addition, the official site posted some images of v4 BD/DVD.

I think I may prefer the DVD Box art too. Again, BD isn't bad it's just that the DVD has... More going on I guess. I don't know it just looks and feels better.

Nice Satoshi artwork on the newly drawn image though. He's all like "ayyyy", hopefully he's going to hit a jukebox right after.

Really? DVD box is just three people standing around (well plus one in the back). BD box is fireworks fun with the adorable Rie and Kayo.

Well, I really like the BD box art and I prefer it over the DVD box art.

I think I just like the atmosphere of the DVD Box more. The BD one is still good though.

I secretly would've liked Houtarou on every box.

Can anyone tell me why I can't find the vol. 1 BD on Amazon.jp anymore!?

When I search for it I can't find it either, but it appears when I go to my orders.

Here's the link:

It's in stock. No idea what's going on there.
