We never see Thor look like that. Or have a sword.

Talk about false advertising!

um, aren't most anime like that? ^^; look at Natsume Yuujinchou -- Natsume never wears that red cloak or a fancy yukata.. that's what promotional posters are for XD i thought that Thor was epic enough in the anime though. even if there was no actual scene from the poster, there was more than enough to make up for it.

In my experience, I've seen plenty of posters featuring characters in various locations or poses or whatever that you never see in the anime, but the poster for Jyu Oh Sei is so far removed from the anime it just surprised me. I mean we're talking about a completely new image for the character, not just a new item of clothing but a look that implies many things to the viewer that never actually happen, and its on the main poster for the show, not a commercial product poster, or calendar or merchandise, etc, but a poster for the show/DVD!

Wow, that looked like a rant. I need some green tea.

He pretty looked badass in the cover.
Nevertheless I wouldn't see this anime if it have "the tanned transvestite version of Thor", but at least it turned out pretty good.

It feels like the creators out that image on the dvd cover to show how Thor was during the time gap...

The only reason i watched the series was because how badass the cover was but Thor never looks like that. Still worth the watch though
