Does anyone recognize these images..?

[suzanami]

Okay, I saw these pictures on DVDs of a release in French. Has anyone ever seen the actual image(s) of these? I'd kill for 'em. :\



I don't like how they drew Hikaru and Umi too much, but WOW that's an amazing picture of Fuu. ;^;


It looks like it's based on the setup from the third ending, "Itsuka Kagayaku", where each of the girls has a panel. I think the dark Umi one is on the bottom, with Fuu on the top right and Hikaru on the left. *squints* Or not.
I would REALLY like to have a copy of that image, but I've never seen it before! :O

The page I found them on is here: http://www.idpvideo.com/produit.php?idsri=157

Sorry to tell you Suzu, but that is the first time I have seen these images.  I would love to find them.  I do agree with you that the Fuu is the best of the group.  I will keep my eyes open, but I cannot promise much.

*totally guesses*  They seem to be from a DVD set from another country...it says "Saison," but that is not one of the languages I have knowledge of...German perhaps?

[suzanami]

It's French. At least, I'm almost 100% positive it's French, since I don't actually speak/read the language.
If I knew some French MKR fans, I could force them to scan the DVDs for me or something. XD Their boxed sets are much prettier than ours, IMHO.

I will go to my resident French expert and ask her...they are so much more attractive than our box sets though...

I have to admit Fuu does look the prettiest in those pics. If any of you find them, please tell me too! I'll keep my eyes open as well.

Okay suzu, I may have a lead that might help you. The original artwork for these comes from the Japanese LD release. (credit Cephiro with that one. ^_^)

[sciathan_file]

Wow, mystery finally solved.

[suzanami]

Whoa, I just found huge scans of the Hikaru and Umi ones on Minitokyo.net!  Holy cow.  I PM'd the person who scanned them to ask if he'd scan Fuu, as well.  Couldn't hurt.  Man, that figures.  Fuu's the one I really wanted.  Yayironylaughsatme.

[Milieva]

Hey, suzu, could you link them? or at least give us the name of the person who scanned them. <3 

[suzanami]

Oh, duh. ._.;

The Hikaru one: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/133410/
The Umi one: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/86769/

You need to register at the site to full-view, because they're apparently communists.

Now it's really frustrating that the Fuu one isn't there... because it's just barely out of reach. x_x;

[Milieva]

It's okay, beacause, when Milieva gets her hands on copies of the LD's she'll scan them and let you see them without registering.

But thanks for the link, suzu.

[suzanami]

I PM'd the guy who scanned them and he said he didn't scan Fuu because his source wasn't as high-quality but he'd see what he could do.  He hasn't done so yet, but if he gets around to it, I'll be sure to post it.  I can post the Hikaru and Umi ones when I get around to uploading them; they're HUGE.

[suzanami]

He got me the Fuu scan!  It's not very good quality, but with some image editing it could be a gorgeous graphic.

Here they are, as promised. They're all 1000px wide.

I thought the art on the Umi one was kinda ugly. :P

It's sad...the concept is pretty, but it looks like someone stuck a porcupine on her head...
