Dvd cover

[rootoftheoracle.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if this was posted before.. Did anyone see the Engling Dvd of Naruto Vol 1?


English Version


Japanese Version


What do you think of the new cover?

For me, the background look pretty cool. Look like they took the clouds from the Akatsuki's coat and invert the colors.... >,< But why can't they use the nice cover of each japanese pictures?? American alway using same images from Magizine covers for the DVD cover... -__-

U.S cover > japan's cover

[xxbrinstarxx.livejournal.com]

agreed. That Japanese cover looks wack.

I also think the US cover is better. Looks like they're finally using all that marketing research to do something right. ^-^

[shuqra.livejournal.com]

agreed to all the comments above.

Well, I say each cover is pretty equal. I don't think either look better or worse. The Japanese cover I guess looked too cute and non-actiony (A kid with an orange jumpsuit slopping paint everywhere kinda ... doesn't scream NINJAS AND ACTION FIGHTS OMG) so they made the American version more "general". O_o

If you thought I am a SoraxRoxas shipper, I'm not. XD; My friend mistaken that as a OMGTWOOWUUUVVV sorta picture and I'm like NOOOO! DX It was just some cute idea I thought up.

If you meant something ELSE then ... I dunno. Pink disturbing? KH too weird? O___O

[hokata.livejournal.com]

KH = teh cool

two boys that fangirls write volumes of yaoi over making a heart does disturb me..

oh well, is there any more to the picture?

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

WHAT!??!?! KH2 has only been out for like.. 2 months! Are you taking about RikuxSora? Because that makes a tad more sense.
I didn't know SoraxRoxas was that freaking popular. o__O If you're talking about that.

WEEELL I drew the picture thinking, "Heeey. Roxas is the other side of Sora's heart. Zomg I guess their hearts fit together or something!" So I drew that. Lmao. But I didn't think it would look so gay. *DUMB* Well, here's the WHOOOLE picture: http://www.deviantart.com/view/28041604/
It's not that gay. SOB.

personally I like the Japanese cover way better, sure the American cover is clearer and brighter, but the Japanese one seems to have more energy, and a way better compostition (being that the picture is more interesting on a topical level, not just Naruto jumping with a funky bg) I must say if I were in a store with no knowlege of the series I would be way more likely to buy the DVD if it had the Japanese cover.

The Japon cover is stupid-looking. NARUTO IS NOT A SHOW ABOUT PAINT-tteba. And the way Iruka is standing is weird. Like OMGIAMSUPRISEDBYPAINT. It really looks like a show about graffiti. T.T

The US cover kinda wins. It doesn't look like a show aobut paint. It looks like some random show about someone wearing orange. AND A COOL HEADBAND. With leaves and clouds. It looks interesting. I WOULD BUY IT!! XDD

And I jsut totally overused caps-lock...tteba.

From a design standpoint I think the US cover is better. However when considering what the first few episodes are like, the Japanese cover makes more sense then then US cover.

I think sinces its the anime and shonen has rights to it. But i agree that kishimotos name should be somewhere on it

[ninja-demongirl.livejournal.com]

I dome how feel perverted starin at narutos stomach in the US version. Im not too thirlled with either. I guess the american one. Other J Naurto covers i do like

[jiah.livejournal.com]

The american cover looks WAY unbalanced to me. I'm really not liking the bar and the big, ugly macromedia-flash-gradient swirl. It feels really bottom heavy to me.
The Japanese cover is nice an balanced, spaces in the background being filled nice and evenly by foreground stuff, but in the North American it's all clumped at the bottom and overlapped like woah... I think they should've at LEAST put the ewugly swirl on the OTHER side of the cover instead of sticking it on Naruto's shoe :\

Nice, but artistically bleh.

AHAHA THE US COVER HAS MORE NARUTO SKIN XD~

I like the US cover more. It's neater and cleaner. But I do agree with just keeping the original image, even though the US cover is superior to the Japanese one :3.

Naruto has been around Sasuke for too long. He's picking up Sasuke's habit of showing skin.
