At least it's a very strong indicator, otherwise a back cover card wouldn't make sense. But until now Birnenblatt has kept the back artwork a secret (and I thought because it will have text on it).
 

 

I think it should be mandatory in every edition. I mean the texts, screenshots and technical information is just for advertisement, when these things are in the shelves of your local shop and you pick it up without knowing anything of the film. But once you know it, or have seen the movie these things don't add any value to the product, don't you think? So having this information on a removable cover card and having beautiful artwork on the back side adds so much more value to the edition. I love keeping the back cover card (and always am happy when they are a bit smaller so you can store them with the edition, but in case I cannot I have an extra binder just for all those J-Card, back and front cover cards, etc. :D

 

I keep the J-cards when, due to their size, they fit well within the edition; and if they are larger I keep them if they include something interesting, different. Appropiate.


If they are just conventional, advertising, mechanical cards, I throw them away.

 

I know that more than one will think I'm crazy for doing it, but an advertising card with nothing special, for me is not part of the edition. It is just an advertising add-on, like an advertising brochure in the mailbox.


And if in the text they already start saying "... from the producers of ..." then I throw it away directly and without thinking.

 

Fixartions that I have. ;) 

 

And that this edition comes with a clean back cover is a very good sign. Beyond aesthetic considerations, it's a sign that they have designed it with care. ç

 

And that for me is very very important.

I have it with me since Thursday.

 

I like it. I love it. It's is really beautiful.

 

Buying it was a success.

 

On the positive side, a very beautiful design, and that is strongly linked to the film, the very elegant embossed title, and even the serigraphy of the disc continuing this design. In addition, the J-Card has a size that fully fits inside the box, being able to store it there if you want.

 

On the non-positive side..., the box looks like an empty collector's edition: it's thick like an usual full slip or analogues, but except for the disc and a very fine booklet, it doesn't bring anything else. There is so much space free that you can fit a steelbook inside. And this makes me think again that they have not been aware of the potential of the design, they have done everything to have a memorable edition, much more ambitious, and then they have left it almost empty. It's a pity that they have not thought of any more accessories, because the box has been very beautiful.


And one flaw is that, although it is a limited and numbered edition, the number is only on the J-Card; there is nothing in the editiom itself.

 

Still, overall, I'm very, very happy that I bought it. Not having done so would have been a mistake.

 

Finally, I want to thank @pygospa a lot!!! for having told us about this edition that I did not know, and for having made the effort to tell us the news about it; as well I also want to thank @thomue1987for the management and shipping.
