I really like number 1, but i think 2 might be the better cover.

Huh, I thought this would have been a picture of Okabe, what with him and Kurisu being the main characters?

The first one is a great picture of Faris, but she's a relatively minor character. It does match nicely with the first volume cover though.

The third one, the picture of the girls in maids outfits is also good, but might confuse people about what the show is about. Then again, this is volume two...

I guess it's the second one for me, nice one of the whole gang.

I voted for #2, which I still think should be saved for a complete boxset.

What is surprising is, the Japanese regular edition DVD/BDs don't have a cover for Okabe - he only appears on Japanese volume 9 (which is Option 2 here). I do find it odd that they aren't thinking of using the Japanese volume 2, which features Suzuha, or volume 3, which features Mayuri, as both of them are a lot more prominent in the show than Feyris.

And don't even get me started on option 3.

I honestly bought the Huke illustrated funimation blurays/box-set, once I saw what Manga Entertainment were using for Vol. 1, so it barely matters to me at this point. The second group picture is the only one that looks serviceable, but the other two might be more thematically appropriate, considering anyone new to the franchise will likely already come in expecting it to be a harem.

Three cover choices for what is predominantly a sci-fi show, and two of them show cute girls in cat-eared maid outfits. You're really spoiling us for choice here, guys!

#2 is the only one that looks even remotely appropriate Confused

I bought the first BD from Australia before the UK release was announced, but now I'm glad because their release features Huke's art instead of these.

I voted for number 2. Don't really like the any of the covers that much though.

Voted for 2 - I'm a sucker for group shots in any series.

It's not clear if they picked these out of the available options or if these are literally the only three options they were given to work with. It is still odd that we are specifically denied access to the cover art used in the US and down under.

I voted 1.
2 just has too much Daru and as for Suzuha's face....
I prefer Feyris' pose in 1 than in 3, we already have Kuris from vol. 1 and.. the ears just don't suit her.
