I mean they shouldn't be that much worse than their normal printings in terms of price. A 50% chance of getting one instead of the normal version and they're making Japanese boxes available everywhere.
They found freaking AMANO to draw Liliana??? Holy crap, that one I really want.
That said, many of them are too anime, girls made cute instead of having personality, can’t say I’m a fan. I actually know a few of these artists, lol.
Amano on MTG holy crap. I wish it wasn't on Liliana though. But interestingly, she's in the finals of wizard's twitter popularity project. Against Ugin.
Anyway, I'm gonna need Liliana, Narset, The Wanderer, Ugin, and Kiora.
Oh. Some of these are extremely nice. But now I need foil Sorin and Kaya for my Orzhov collection, though I doubt that Kaya will be too much - she certainly didn't get the best of the new arts. Sorin might be a bit pricier though. :/
ETA: To be fair, Kaya looks better in that full-art gallery.
Some of these are extremely nice, some others I really dislike. Chibi asthetic somehow feels wrong on Magic cards (Narset, Nissa, Vivien, Saheeli and Nahiri) BUT I don't care, if that makes someone happy then so be it.
Nicol Bolas is also quite the fail, and Ajani has a stomach-ache ?
I do love most of the other artworks though, and the full-art gallery is really pleasing to the eye.

The full art gallery is pretty sweet and totally lets you in on some of the nicer little details...Arlinn's wolves carrying around odd things in their mouths, the thopters being burnt up by Chandra, Vitu-Ghazi behind Nissa, Kiora is just so much cooler in the full art...and Davriel still rocks, this one is so much better than the standard...more action oriented, dynamic pose as opposed to his regular one where he's just standing there casting the shadow magic right over his name.

The foil version of that Amano Liliana is going to be the most sought-after one of these and I wouldn't be shocked to see it over $100. Almost all of these are amazing.
EDIT: I can't type out Amano's full name because the swear filter triggers on part of it.

Japanese Arlinn is my favorite. I love that art style so much, and easily the best use of the "art leaking out of picture" effect Planeswalkers have I've seen to date.
Japanese Mowu is so freaking adorable, holy crap. Why can't we have a Japanese art Mowu as well?
Nahiri doesn't looks like she needs to take a dump in her Japanese art, and that's already a hundred times better.
Full art gallery. Much cooler when you notice some details like Dovin surfing on thopters or Sorin slashing the same stones that Nahiri throws at him.
Definitely check out the Gallery. Very Cool.
Domri, Teyo, Tibalt, Davriel, Lily, Karn, Sahelli are all way better than the English ones. Ob Nixilis is also awesome.
I feel bad to say it, but that Nicol Bolas is AWFUL, like really bad, though.
I believe so.

But seriously, does anyone else think this art feels hilariously out of character for him? It's supposed to be Vengeful Bloodlord, not Anime Knight.

Don't ask, I don't know why ether...

I love it. Feel pulled off directly from a Castlevania character, and I love Castlevania aesthetic.
I love it too, but it doesn't feel like Sorin to me.

I need four of those Karns, right now in my face pls
thanks for sharing that. Good thing I have not yet paid for my pre-order at SCG.
Will just get one of the originals for english language reference, then get the jap versions to use in my deck.
