Mikan Watch #60 – Chihayafuru

From episode 3 of Chihayafuru, which I’ve been running catch-up on today. It’s one of the boxes into which Arata was packing his stuff into before moving. Admittedly, I’m going out on a limb at will with this one, with only the last two hiragana visible – it could well be Iyokan (which, admittedly, is a type of Mikan) for all I know. But, whatever.

(I’ll also admit that I’m sitting on two genuine Mikan Boxes I’ve not got around to posting about yet. Need to dig out some DVDs for one of them).

Chihayafuru is pretty good, I guess. I’m not digging on it as much as I expected giving all the praise many have lauded upon it, but it’s a very pleasant watch non-the-less. It didn’t really pick up for me until after they got back to current day post-flashback. I’ve still got a few episodes left before I’ve fully caught up though, but I’m typing this in haste whilst watching Sherlock, so that’s going to have to wait for another eve.
