What is there in this movie for someone that knows nothing about the franchise anyway? Without having seen the rest of the series, someone would have no way of knowing that Haruhi has any redeeming characteristics that would make Kyon want to seek her out (as the pre alt!Yuki-verse scenes just have her being bossy and cos-raping Mikuru.) Nor would they understand why Yuki executes an illegal operation in module emotion.exe and remakes the universe.

I'm just fine with the cover as it is. Though if you want to draw in the uninitiated person (who will just spend the whole movie confused anyway,) you could put a picture of Asakura (with her knife) on the cover and fool them into thinking it's a murder mystery.
