I have always loved the sleeve artwork of various anime shows released on laserdiscs rather than VHS tapes and DVD boxes. With the media being the same size as a 33rpm vynyl record, you have more freedom to create much more brilliant cover artwork. And this one is no exception.
I once had a friend who went to high school with me who owned a very early home theatre system equipped with a laserdisc player, a VCR and a very primitive DVD player hooked up to a rear-projection TV and a Dolby Digital surround sound receiver (by the time we graduated he was in the process of acquiring an LCD projector). He wasn't into anime though, but we often enjoyed taking trips in Sydney where you could buy imported laserdisc movies for a minimum price of AU$30.
That sure was an awfully long time ago though...
