You thought that this meme was confined to anime? No way! The above image is from the movie Linda Linda Linda, in which a few such things actually appear.

This is from episode 38. Be amazed at the versatility being displayed here – previously we’ve seen a mikan box used for storage, one used as a platform and, now, one used as a makeshift sleeping quarter. Astonishing.
Or maybe not, but, hey, the later episodes of Eureka Seven are really, really good. I mean, the show starts to improve dramatically shortly into it’s run, but the show just keeps on improving as it goes along. Good stuff.
In the science classroom where Makoto finds the “Time Walnut”. I’m sure I saw another Mikan box in another show in the last week, but I’ve completely forgotten exactly what ^^;
It kind of pains me that I don’t really have something which isn’t dumb to say about such a wonderful movie, but others have already put things far more eloquently than I could ever be bothered to.

Well, to be fair, it’d be more surprising if PPD didn’t have a Mikan box, given the show is essentially Unlimited Meme Works (hell, it even created a few of it’s own in the process). As it goes, it actually gives the Mikan box actually significant in the show, if admittedly in something of a McGuffin fashion.
I am disappointed that ADVs Vidnotes didn’t seem to pick up on it, at least in these episodes.
