If you're a hardcore fan like I am then you probably already have this tucked away on your shelf somewhere, I don't really need to persuade you. But if you're just a moderate fan then there is nothing wrong with just getting the standard edition and saving a few dollars.
The art on the front cover of the steelbook is cool although I was hoping that it would have unique art on the back as well. If you don't like the art on the steelbook, Best Buy was nice enough to include the slipcover with the standard edition art on it, I'm not really a stickler for those kinds of things though.
The discs also don't have unique art although funnily enough they say "Limited Edition" on them. In terms of extras, you get everything that the standard edition comes with (the art cards and subscription pass) however with the steelbook edition they added in a free digital download for the first volume of the manga, so I guess fancy steelbook aside, it evens out with that digital download.
For the only current "Limited Edition" release of this series available, I expected a bit more in terms of extras however I am not dissatisfied, steelbooks are few and far for anime series. If you don't really care about extras, the standard edition is the way to go but if you want more out of your release then that standard edition isn't going to cut it, too bare-bones. Be prepared to fork-over some shelf-space for future releases. PLEASE RELEASE THE REST OF IT IN STEEBOOK TOO, BEST BUY!!!
