Wikipedia lists him as the "packaging illustrator," which I assume just means he did the new cover art

Weird choice to get Kaneko of all people to just draw your special edition box art and leave it at that, but I know he's done little bits of work for the other games so whatever

To be fair in japan most of it was shitty 80's anime style and in the US most of it was quickly drawn garbage since the anime style used on most jap boxart was thought to have turn away US children.

Still better then the generic ingame 3d models boxart we see today.

Better then today I would say but most of it was very similar and typically an artist trying to imitate a popular artist's style. 80's anime is definitely better then today's stuff in my opinion but I don't watch much anime so my opinion means jackshit.

bad marketing? I don't think publishers are too keen on having vague box art unless it's an artsy fatty game, or the box art uses clichéd elements to pretty much copy what every other game box art does.
That and there wasn't really much that could be fone for the box art on an SNES/NES game's box art to use game screens as the front cover. They'd have to sort of bait players into going "oh shit that looks fucking rad" using slick artists to draw the cover art, or use claymation, it really stands out, but I guess it depends on the game and demographic as well.
In America it seems we either appeal to young children or the "hardcore" audience. It's rare you find game box art that isn't related to what's actually in the game or doesn't have an "epic, badass" cover art or some sort of series mascot covering a majority of the box to make sure no one gets confused or something.
I kinda wish game box arts were more experimental and weird. Even worse considering how the ESRB ratings rape the game's box art as well as console labels and all that jazz, but what can you do?

I generally don't like brawlers but I was still willing to give it a shot. Played on hard, loved the art and atmosphere but the gameplay was a chore. I'll just turn down the difficulty a notch next time. After beating Bayonetta 2 I was looking for more action games anyways so now I'm in the mood for it.

I think the cover is supposed to be 3 player co op and you're looking at it from a first person view since there's the barrel of a gun sticking out at the bottom instead of a demon arm gun, it would make sense to why that demon's looking back.

It's good. The main problem comes from the Dreamcast controller itself, but it's got a lot of cool ideas and it's aged better than you'd expect a first person hack and slash from the Dreamcast would.

Once you're used to the weird-ass control scheme it's pretty fun and Kaneko art will literally always be top tier.

This is very very cool.

When it comes to game cases and covers, my favourite platform must be japanese PS1 games. The combine that childhood nostalgia with label-less, often clean and stylish cover designs. Plus they have games in thin jewelcases, double cases and fat jewelcases like in Europe. A blast to collect.

Yeah, just like Dragon Age Origins it was an interesting premise that Bioware drove into the ground in subsequent games.
