Bobo gets traumatized after almost getting "shot" (at the request of Marielle's caretaker) and refuses to step outside his home, which results in Memole attempting to give him a special kind of potion that's supposed to help him forget what happened. Unfortunately for Memole, in the process of convincing him to drink it, she ends up trying it out herself and seemingly forgets who she is! Eventually, some of Memole's friends and various villagers end up trying out the potion too, which goes just as well as you'd expect it to.

I didn't take any screenshots while I watched this episode but this was a genuinely fun one—probably the first one I've seen in this entire show so far!

Double Release: Sonic Soldier Borgman - Episode 30 & 31

Episode 31 is a recap episode—personally, I didn't see there being any use in releasing Ep. 30 today and having users wait weeks (or another month) for the next episode, just for them to find out that it's exactly that. Rather than waste everybody's time, I decided it'd be more convenient to just put up 30 & 31 together.

And with that, May's round of Borgman episodes has already come to an end, despite us being only 3 days into the month so far. Ep. 32 (and maybe 33) will be posted sometime in June.

V-Jump Festival '95 Video - Slime's Adventures (1995)

Sometime in 2022, the folks at Kineko Video got ahold of various V-Jump Festival Video VHS tapes—I don't know too much about them other than that these were showcases of then-upcoming video games that were being displayed at a festival hosted by Shueisha. Most of these tapes featured a small animation short at the end, titled "Slime's Adventures"—centered around Dragon Quest and based off a similarly-named manga that chronicles the misadventures of a slime named Slikichi as he & his friends get themselves into all sorts of trouble.

It being Dragon Quest-themed already caught my interest, but an anime short starring the slime? Absolute kino, you can't convince me otherwise.

Anyways, in this short, Slikichi is approached by a group of men who offer him free dinner in exchange for a rare hat he owns. Slikichi's friends, having realized the huge mistake he committed, head off to a nearby casino where the hat is being sold for an abhorrent amount of money. They get real close to winning it, until they participate in the final game and lose... only to realize that the player they were competing against was cheating in the first place. And thus, they set out to his hideout to settle things once and for all, and to rightfully claim back the hat too.

Kineko passed off an encode of the short to me back in Dec. 2022, but I must confess that I've been really slow with the progress of this translation 🗿—I didn't get this translated until around August/Sept. 2023, and it wasn't until a few months ago when I finally decided to start looking at it and get this TLC'ed/QC'ed  😅

In any case, it's finally finished now! I'm aiming to translate whatever other of these shorts exist in the other V-Jump tapes, though as usual I can't say when I'll get to them.
