The Great Yokai War. by Takashi Miike (2005). Here's your R3 HK DVD...

are you being sarcastic? cause that dvd cover's gross

That packaging looks awesome, I'm glad I didn't wait for the R1 now! Mine said it shipped yesterday morning, I'm excited!

cant say i'm that impressed with the outside.
but the inside, it looks like it has descriptions of all the yokai.
sweet :P

I would like it if it wasnt for all of the yellow writing at the top of the cover.

Ugh, that cover is UGLY because it is waaaaay too busy. I do like the wooden box with inside small panels on the individual Yokai though.

Colorful package, but designers need to go back to art school.

BTW, I meant the inner packaging looks awesome, the outside is WAYYYY too busy

I got my copy today - I got the two disc set - and I really like it. Lettering is all in silver and white, which looks much better than the image up above and I really like all the characters on the cover ... almost makes me wonder if they used those old Star Wars posters as a starting point for the design. The set comes in a very heavy gauge slip case - very, very nice - and slides out to reveal a fold out gatefold, also really heavy duty, in a mock-wood finish. Contents of the discs are fantastic too ... absolutely everything is subtitled and there are hours of fun material on the second disc, including stacks of interview footage, a couple goofy yokai short films, press conferences, and a huge encyclopedia of all the yokai characters. Video quality on the film is excellent, too. A little bummed there's no commentary (why does Miike do so few?) but Media Blasters are absolute idiots if they do anything other than just port this entire release over - packing included - for their R1 release ...
