when impulse buying can packaging be one of the deciding factors to if you buy or not, I don't mean LE's artboxs and the like, I just mean the cover image of a stadard case, that first look you get when all thsoe covers are competeing for your attention.

example; out of these two, on impulse whcih would you buy, regardless of if you like or were buying the series or not.

Kurau volume 3 UK cover

Kurau voluem 3 US cover

If you have any otehr examples of different covers post them too.

I'm pretty shallow Razz

so an attractive girl on the cover catches my eye more than a cover that doesn't have 1.

But to be honest I tend not to impulse buy that much, I normally stick to stuff I think I'd like.

The maid look does nothing for me except make me suspicious of the contents therein so it's not something that would exactly encourage me to buy it.

I wouldn't want to be seen taking that to a shop counter either so I'd only consider buying online if it were going cheap or something. Besides Kurau's a sci-fi show isn't it? I would've thought something related to the show's content would show it off best.

I'd say that to me covers only make a difference if it's a show I've never heard of (I've bought many a show pretty much on the blind in the past). If I already know a series from reviews/reputation then I'll buy regardless.
