The front cover features an iconic illustration from the "Devilman" anime series based on Go Nagai's manga, with the main character in green with bare skin and prominent black wings, surrounded by three other main characters in colorful clothes and a child character wearing a cap. The graphic style, typical of the 1970s, is distinguished by vibrant colors and a retro design characteristic of the era. At the top of the cover, the word "DEVILMAN" is repeated against a dark blue background, framing the central illustration.

In the bottom left, the "LaserDisc" logo is clearly visible, confirming the disc's format. The mention "TGE" and the label "From the film" are also identifiable, as well as the indication "TV Version 1972.7-1973.3", specifying the anime series' broadcast period. The cover clearly displays "Vol.2", making it the second volume in the Devilman Laserdisc collection. The title in Japanese, along with a mention of the included episodes, is clearly legible below the main visual.

The surface of the sleeve shows a slight reflection, indicating the presence of a protective plastic film, which suggests the item has been carefully preserved. No major defects, creases, or tears are visible on the front, the presentation remains very clean and the colors well-preserved. The overall design is in keeping with the tradition of Japanese Laserdisc editions, with a meticulous graphic layout, typical of collectible items related to vintage animation.

The square format of the sleeve, as well as the large illustration, are characteristic of Japanese Laserdiscs produced during the medium's popularity, mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. The visual highlights the retro aesthetic of the Devilman series, a staple of Japanese animation, and the presence of the LaserDisc logo in the bottom left guarantees the authenticity of the format.
