Anime, Movies, Comics, Entertainment & More
A picture is worth a thousand words and we’ve got a few thousand words worth of pictures below as the cover art for the November slate of releases from Sentai Filmworks and Maiden Japan has been revealed via the DVD/BD Cover Art Discussions forum. Which ones do you think work, don’t work and will draw in potential buyers?

I don’t think that the Divergence Eve or HSotD covers really work. I know that they don’t for me. They aren’t something that I’d be exactly proud to display on my shelf.
I kinda like the Patlabor cover (much better than the SD, drunk depictions of Noa & Clancy of Vol 2) but I think that it feels empty, that it could have been Gotoh smoking in the labor hangar with the labor in the BG. I just can’t shake the feeling that Gotoh and the Labor don’t feel “connected” on the art, that an image of each was pasted onto the cover and the job was considered done. While that isn’t bad, per se, it does leave room for improvement.
Gotoh and the Labor don’t seem appropriately positioned and proportioned for the camera angle. It might be possible to look down at Gotoh, who looms large in the foreground, while simultaneously looking directly at the much larger (than Gotoh) labor in the background, if Gotoh and the camera are on an elevated walkway and positioned just so, say, but without the picture really suggesting that possibility it just looks weird IMO.
Cool High School Dead 2 look sweet.
