Although this is clearly an alternate, inferior version of the poster actually. It took me a while to figure out whether it really was a different version or if I was just imagining things, but the painting isn't quite as good in some parts in this version, suggesting that this is an early version before changes were made and certain parts of the poster fixed. I hope it's an earlier version - otherwise someone just did a really bad job of retouching it for no obvious reason! (Which might happen in Japan ...)

Actually, this is the original version. It was done by Japanese artist Noriyoshi Ohrai.

Just a thought, but this poster really doesn't fit in with the whole "the way you remember it" theme anyway. It wasn't used theatrically in the US (or UK for that matter) so it wouldn't be remembered by most of us. Besides, I think something a little more special is in order. Coov's wooden style D cover has really raised the bar.
