Personally I won't be getting this if that is the cover they're going for. Not only does it not embrace the minimalism of Steelbooks. Those laurels are awful and I'v always hated those.

Here's the cover they should have gone with (or something custom)

OR even

Spoiler

You can guess I like the minimalistic 3rd option.

​

Just out of curiosity do people here let Zavvi know their preview artwork is bad and they should really think about what it'll be when produced?

I've already got an order in for the regular release but I stuck in an order for this all the same & will decide later depending on what artwork they use.

Prefer the Japanese art

Plenty of time for the artwork to change for this release. What's showing now is obviously a temporary placeholder.

 

[psychoscot]

Have to agree the mock up isn't great considering the other images posted, definitely interested though

Maybe a bit sterile but I'd be inclined to go for the wraparound style here - only reversed - with the spine separating the two parts of the whole poster with the Japanese art on the inside:-

Rus et urbe (lol)

That being said I do like the poster chosen for the TBC front artwork

Fully loaded 5 disc Japanese set costing something over $100 (with "free" bookmark" . . .

The Willer bus company operates only two open-top "restaurant buses" in Japan. The company, Cool Japan Travel, THE GUEST cafe & diner, and the Anime Tourism Association decided to partner and utilize those buses for a special "your name. Cafe Bus" experience. The cafe bus inspired by Makoto Shinkai's hit anime film will operate in Tokyo from August 3 to September 29.

Willer's 2 restaurant buses will be wrapped in your name. art. People who participate will be able to enjoy the scenery on the open-air second floor of the buses. The buses will drive by locations that feature in Shinkai's film. On the first floor, riders will be able to eat dishes featured at a your name. cafe that ran in Tokyo in January and February. Participants will receive one of eight special themed coasters as a bonus.

A 90-minute ride on the cafe bus will cost 5,800 yen (about US$52). The official web page for the campaign is accepting reservations now.

Japan's H.I.S. travel agency also offered a walking tour of locations from the film on November 19. The real-world inspirations in various locations in Japan for the film's settings have become popular anime pilgrimage sites. The local economy around Hida, the northernmost city in Gifu Prefecture, earned 18.5 billion yen (about US$164 million) due in part to tourism related to the film.

Shinkai's film opened in Japan on July 3, 2016 and quickly became a global sensation. The film opened in North America on April 7 and had grossed US$4,676,810 at the box office as of May 7.

If there's a Special or Collector's Edition (apart from the steelbook) I'm guessing it'll be this one:-

Liking your idea of the wrap around effect @virkia , that would be stunning, but I'd keep the countryside on the front lol

It's been hailed as one of the best anime ever made. So that can't be a bad thing right?

 

[psychoscot]

Although "steelbook" isn't mention its also listed on Amazon with cd soundtrack and collectable packaging, so liable to be the same and its £19.99 on there

I'd say that listing will be updated shortly, it was confirmed earlier that the collectors edition is actually the steelbook (though I can't find the confirmation post now).

I actually haven't watched it, but my friend said it was one of the best films he watched last year and he isn't really an anime fan like myself so it is on my 'to watch' list
