BD is very nice, but I prefer the LE DVD because look at Satoshi's face how can you not love it? Makes me glad that the BD comes with the LE DVD art.

Why didn't they ask Eba after all? She's on the cover of the RE DVD and the postcard included with the BD/LE DVD.

It's nice to have a postcard with her on it. 15 covers to go.

The listing for volume 7 is up, but today's ustream show has revealed the cover art. The BD cover art features Mayaka cooking with Eru and Satoshi looking on while the LE DVD features the infamous flour drop between the two male members of the kotenbu. The RE DVD features a certain astronomy club member.

Included with this volume is the usual 16 pg booklet, 2 postcards (newly drawn one), 4 Eru bromides, a Kanya Fest poster, and the drama/OST/radio CD Kadokawa loves. On the disc itself is more location scouting footage, OP/ED recording scenery, and audio commentary from Supervisor Takemoto and Series Composer Gatou. Also included with volume 7's BD/LE DVD are boxes for the Kanya Fest arc (BD/DVD).

Well hell, I'm happy to get Mayaka and Miku on the BD box but the DVD box is the best Hyouka image yet. Damnit.

I do agree... They really should have two sides box, with the BD box image on one side and the DVD box image on the other... That would be awesome.

Been holding off on making this post, but now I can finally post it. Volume 3 is scheduled to be released on January 12, 2013 and it retails for 4,200 yen. Kadokawa's listing says that volume 3 comes with:

A cover variant of volume 3 and a special animated episode that will run approximately 25 minutes in a tall case.

Here is the cover variant for volume 3. Looks like Kadokawa is changing up their style for this release. No white background. I think people will be pleased with the setting, though it doesn't do much for me.

Edit: After release, we discovered that a small 6-7 minute location scouting feature and audio commentary by Supervisor Takemoto and Series Composer Gatou are included on the disc.
