Weird title, I know...but seeing that other Geneon topic reminded me that I have a strange DVD in my collection. :S
Anyway, I bought this a few years ago from Amazon.ca. Not from a third party seller, but directly from Amazon.ca, so it shouldn't be a bootleg. Here is my DVD of Kyo Kara Maoh season 2 part 4... Looks a little weird, doesn't it? (It doesn't match any of the other KKM DVDs). 
Comparison of other DVD from series 
I actually rebought the volume elsewhere and ended up with a normal looking DVD *phew*. Any ideas? Is this just normal, and how some of Geneon's DVD's looked? I believe I asked this before years ago on a different forum, but from what I remember, no one knew what was up with it. |

Merely a suggestion rather than an informed answer, but could the disc be a promotional one not intended for sale? (I know those generally have "NOT FOR SALE" on them, but otherwise they are very plain, like yours.)
I think I have a (Geneon) Master Keaton disc that is a dead ringer for your except that it does have the "NOT FOR SALE" on it. If I had it with me, I'd post a picture. |

With how bare-bones it looks, it reminds me of CDs that would get sent out to radio stations. I'm wondering if it also might be a screener DVD from a convention?
I thought that it might've been a Marketplace item that was listed as "Fulfilled by Amazon", and therefore went out as an order off the main page. Talked to a friend of mine who works for Amazon (on the programming side), and he wasn't sure if the above could happen or not, but his recommendation is to contact Amazon customer support. He says "they're amazing and give ridiculous amounts of refunds" and "the official support policy is to handle every incoming request as if it's from a family member." So if you show them the DVD, you might be able to get a new one that's part of the regular set. Might want to wait until we get an image of the "standard" DVD, first, though, to show them. I'm assuming the outside of the case looks the same as the other cases in the set? |

Hmm…..that may be a possibility. :S
:O Another possibility!
I’m pretty sure Amazon.ca does not have “fulfilled by Amazon”, especially not back in 2008 anyway. 
Oh I’m not interested in a refund. I bought this in 2008! I already bought a replacement at a different store and got a normal looking DVD. I’m just trying to solve the mystery of what this is xD
The cases were slightly different. It had a black case instead of a clear case, and it was broken in the spine. EDIT: More pictures! Weird dvd vs normal DVD (Season 2 part 4) 
Case contents 
(The weird one actually has the same picture on the back of the slip cover as well) |

Aaa, I missed the "several years ago" (and so did he, when I linked it to him).

I'm not sure what Geneon's process for applying art to DVDs is, but I wonder if you got one that somehow got a general identifying mark but missed the actual art application. (I have a Get Backers DVD that missed the art- completely silver on both sides.)
I'd check the data side, in the space around the center hole. There's usually serial numbers there, you can see if they match the normal disc. If you have a local con or anime club, see if they can get in touch with someone who set up viewings 5ish years ago, to see if they can offer insight. |
