The lighting and cropping certainly make her oversized eyes less off-putting here. Fine for a poster; less so when that is all you notice throughout a feature-length film.

Yeah, this cropping reminds me of the poses girls used to do in their myspace pictures Laughing i wonder where all those goth kids are now...

anyway, has someone photoshopped this to see if they really did make the eyes smaller? I heard that's why it was delayed in the first place, lol

I really like that poster, it's quite dynamic. Her eyes do look smaller here, probably because her lids look shadowed, but it works.
An aside: I appreciate her pores showing on her nose and cheeks Laughing

Nope, they can't--That's WHY Japanese posters get to be more creative.

In North America, every major actor in the movie has an agent requiring "Exposure" for their actor's character.
Which is why every final movie poster for any big-studio movie is a "head collage" of the four or five character's faces all looking away dramatically against an abstract background (or just the one staring straight on, if it's a one-star vehicle), and salary negotiation gets to determine whose head is prominently bigger than whose.

Check it out with any recent US blockbuster you care to.

The American poster is the same as this. It was revealed a few weeks ago, before the Japanese version.
