This is from Episode 14 of Blood+. It doesn’t actually say mikan, and, on closer inspection, I’m not actually entirely sure if it’s an orange or a apple, but I’m claiming it.

There’s no Mikan boxes in this shot from the first episode, however. What we do have is something of a rarity – a Pineapple box. That’s not nearly quite as cool, though.

The first half of the R1 DVD release via Sony is dubtitled, which is rather disappointing. Hopefully this is something that they’ll correct by the time they release the second box, but I’m not overly optimistic. As far as dubtitles go, it’s not the worst I’ve ever seen, but there are a few obvious differences between the dialogue and subtitles for the shorter sentences. Rather more oddly, there are also short pauses in the video around every chapter break. I don’t really get that.

Oh, and there’s no chapter break at the start of the OP either, which is mildly annoying.

I have to wonder how long some Sony employee had to look to find a picture of Saya so horribly off-model for the second DVD case…
