@Rukiia
In the photos of the two US releases it is not clear where the CD is stored. Hopefully not just in an envelope slipped into the package.

What I see is that the US set is a bit over two Disks high. If I bought more than one of these I would have to find and dedicate an additional shelf to store them. Just what I don't need.

Not that it matters, neither show is that interesting.

The top discs in the case seem to have extra plastic around them. This makes me think its either of 2 things:
1. The 2 discs stack on the top (I have 1 or 2 sets like this from another company but can't remember which it is) or
2. The top part has an extra plastic holder that flips to reveal the disc underneath.

Ya, sorry. I don't know what to say about that as I am unsure myself. I can, however, provide photos of the Japanese release. The CD is apparently the visual novel in a holding box.

Interesting enough, CDJapan is offering a special gift to those who preorder the entire series (Japanese version). Makes me wonder if the gift will be a nice art box for the singles to sit in.

@Rukiia wow you aren't kidding that Japanese release looks amazing. I think I'm going to get this. The English dub is a nice addition I can enjoy it with my family. I haven't blind bought in a while I think I will with this it makes it a tad more exciting. This company is reminding me of Bandai Visual USA for some reason. I liked them a lot. Expensive products but solid mimics of the Japanese ones. I wish Aniplex USA stuck with that fun digipak thing they had going for DRRR!! those sets were NICE.

Amazing bonus for Yuki Yuna. Does anyone know if the key frame reproductions are N. American exclusive only? If so I can see this company growing on me.

I was under the impression these bonuses werent going to be revealed so soon, seems others had that impression too.

They seem like interesting bonuses, but not enough for me personally to blind buy these shows at the price.
