Hey, it’s another submission from the Twitters! Who’da thunk that the secret to actually getting people to submit these things was to have an obvious way for people to contact you? (I’m guessing… everyone?)

Anyway, this one came in from Monsieur Shillito, and is from the second episode of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. That title took me at least three attempts to type correctly, which probably means that I should have just stuck to Crunchyroll-speak and called it A Bridge to the Starry Skies. Sounds like a pretty inconvenient structure to build to me!

Yeah, I’ve got nothing on this show, it being one of the shows up on Crunchy that I’ve yet to subject myself to.

This one came in from 21cDigitalboy via the Twitters, taken from the second episode of Ao no Exorcist. Well, at least I’m assuming it’s from Ao no Exorcists second episode, as I’m entirely trusting that he didn’t monkey around with the file name in an attempt to befuddle me into looking silly (which, truth told, isn’t the most difficult of operations to successfully execute).

Still, I think this must be the first sighting of the season, and it’s not from one of the shows I’d have thought, but then that always seems to be the case…

Heeeeeeaaaaaaartcatch! Pu-ri-kyu-ah! Alright!

*Ahem*

This is coming from an unexpected place, given that the movie is predominantly set in the French capital, but there is indeed a Mikan Box in the Heartcatch Precure movie. Surprise Mikan Box are the best kind.

Or merely Ar Tonelico 3 as it was known in Japan. I’m not really sure what NISA thought they were achieving by making such a nerdy game even more unfriendly looking for newbies by including a Hymnos word in the title. Hymnos is the games in-universe language – Qoga, as it happens, means something to the effect of “Final” – so it’s kind of like if they named the Star Trek movies in Klingon.

Except kind of not, since Ar Tonelico isn’t exactly an English name in the first place. Oh, well, I suppose the whole stripping mechanic to the battles is off-putting enough for most anyway.

To get back to the point, though, that Mikan Box is in the Bistro in Eternus Shaft.

This one comes in from Author, taken from… well, he doesn’t say which episode, but it’s from Mahoraba. That’s the cute comedy with the multiple-personality landlady, as opposed to Maburaho, the show which many (myself included) manage to get the name confused with, and is a show about… I don’t know, some kind of magic-related rubbish, I guess.

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a Mikan Box in Maburaho at this moment in time.
