@Daniel_Newton:

My mistake. These are the true Blu Ray covers. I was looking through Japanese Amazon and back at Anime News Network's articles. They used that image for decoration. It would have been awesome if they used that image someday.

Edit:

Wait, I'm wrong again. This cover is used as the DVD. See Amazon link.

@takashichea: Those top two look like what would actually be the Japanese covers. The bottom one looks like it'd be used as placeholder or for the US cover or something where putting every character on the box makes since since it's the only box.
