Sighting courtesy of Wonderduck – if you cast your attention back and to the left, you shall see a cardboard container adorned with a series of oranges. Perhaps it’s not labelled as such, but I’ve claimed less specific examples and Mikan Boxes on prior occasions, so I’m taking it.

Procrastination is, perhaps, the name of the game here – this post has been delayed not because my DVD was trapped in postal hell, but, infact, has not previously appeared due to me being kind of lazy. Indeed, I’ve sat on it long enough that the final volume of the second season arrived today. Yes, I now know the true conclusion of the epic battle between Man and Troll, DiGiKerot and Chairman Kadokawa.

But I’m not telling you that today – you’ll have to wait for that knowledge. Rather, I’ll be answering far more immediately pressing matters.

I’m sure that Saten’s bat will somehow prove invaluable to the resolution of the present situation that the cast of Railgun has gotten themselves into, but you have to admit, taken at face value, it doesn’t seem like the most useful of implements.

That said, it’s probably infinitely more useful that Uiharu’s ability to mildly annoy her opponents with warm water or such like.

Thanks to Digitalboy for the heads-up on this one, from the 97th episode of Gintama. Honestly, I’d be surprised if it was the first occurrence of such a thing in the show given the general parodical silliness that permeates it, but I’m not really inclined to go back and watch all the prior episodes to find out – I don’t watch anime Gintama. I did read the manga through to about volume… seven or eight, I think. I’m not entirely sure why I stopped reading it, come to think of it – I do enjoy it, and I’ve probably got a stack of unread later volumes lying around too. I should probably get back to it…

I can’t help but think there’s something astonishingly familiar about this screencap from, of all things, Halo Legends, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
