Track This It's a damn shame they didn't use the CLAMP art. Though it might not have been possible, assuming the japanese release has more discs, hence bigger box. I suppose this is more inline with what tey figure american fans would expect for a case of a mecha series. This box looks so generic in comparison though with it's straight from NewType artwork. I suppose it could be worse and be a photoshop nightmare like some. At least it's well constructed and not the cheap kind like some I have. Though I couldn't care less about artboxes and still rue the day ADV came up with them as yet another way to milk something. I miss the days when a box was meant to hold complete sets, not as a gimmick with one disc sao that your DVD look pretty on the shelf and to tease completests like me.
Oh well. I'll be getting it for the manga and OST anyway. That's at least worth the added price, unlike cardboard, no matter how pretty.
