What are the...Best and/or Your Personal Favorite
- - ANIME Cover Art - - and hopefully a brief explanation why.
so...anyway, Just a few of mine, and some how come's... Trigun Vol. 1 - The 60 Billion Dollar Man check it out: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6305753172.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg why? Its just awesome. How can it not ROCK ! Check it out. It has that Wanted Poster look and feel to it, that matches the story. Plus its a cool detailed veiw. One of my favorites. Serial Experiments - Lain check it out: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6305460116.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg why? I love the whole look to all the covers. It has that dream like effect...its surreal All the covers are Excellent. Cowboy Bebop - All the Sessions covers check it out: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004XOR3.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg why? The mat/saturated look rules. Very different from the rest of the pack. Imagine these cover artworks on the wall, behind glass, in your own room/office/computer room, framed. Excellent. Ninja Scroll check it out: http://www.wellesley.edu/Japanese/130FlyersS02/Ninja.jpg why? The Best! Action-packed! Cool Characters from an excellent Story, glorified in a "group portrait!" I mean, check it out...(except for the old guy)mostly all the characters are there and are in Action! be careful...Jubei's blade is about to wind-slash you ! well, thats all. ch-check ya later, G-13

I like all those you mentioned. I'd want posters of the Japanese Matantei Loki dvds, as well as the Haibane Renmei dvds *Anything by AbE-sama for me*, and the covers of Pioneer's Sailormoon dvd releases. Oh yeah, the angel sanctuary OAV covers too.

I've always been quite taken by the cover art for Read or Die, for some reason. Simple image of Yomiko, minimal background, thick black border, "R.O.D." up top.
It just...works extremely well, if you ask me. |

Hmm... I always rather liked the covers for Kenshin - Tsuioku Hen. (The first set of OVA's)
I always felt they were just simplistic, yet dark enough to give the near solemn atmosphere they carry.

The original Neo-Ranga covers are quite nice... but then, I'm a pervy bastard, too, so that might not count for much. But they are artfully done.

The reverse covers or the default "Samurai-X" ones? If the reverse ones, I agree 120%. If the "Samurai-X" ones...eh...they were okay, though the hideous logo with the hideous name kinda...uglied 'em up something fierce. |

I like the covers on the Twelve Kingdoms DVDs. They look really pretty, and intricate with all those lotus flowers as borders.

Yeah, true, the Samurai X did "uglify" them somewhat... Actually, I was thinking of the reverse covers when I posted. Now if they had kept all the covers as they were released in Japan, that woulda been pretty to look at.

Cool! Thanks for the replies and info...
You know, I checked the cover art for those and Damn! They're all SWEET ! I cant say that I've seen all of them, or any of them...but I think I have to try and check em out. Of the winged animes Haibane Renmei has an interesting look. Very friendly. Its like all the covers are candid photographs. I like em. Read or Die & Neo-Ranga are very similar, but still nice. The black background works well! The R.O.D. block letters are Sweet. & The Neo-Ranga covers are a trip, this one in particular http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00008DDSN.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I digg the Vortex look. And Twelve Kingdoms art looks very storybook/fairytale. Kind of like how Final Fantasy Tactics art work looks. Totally feelin em! The only one I couldnt find was Kenshin - Tsuioku Hen reverse covers? is this what was being described? http://rkbureau.free.fr/oavvf.jpg If it is this...very sweet too! Very brooding. well, later... -13 |

OK so this isnt actually cover art but I really like the poster released for Ghost In The Shell:Innocence. The one with a basset hound looking over the broken up android. This image is a real peice of art, I was truly shocked at how beautiful it was. That said from the trailer it looks as if the whole movie is going to be a work of art, I have no doubt this will be the best looking anime to date.

Pro Golgo 13,
On the original Neo Ranga covers are there were only red lines and....skin, at least on the girls. Adv added the black part on the American release. They included the originals as flip covers. thats why Gnollman said,
All the best, Nani? |
