I hate this OVA now with an absolute passion, so I'm not gonna talk about too much in here and will just get straight down to the basics. 

This release of the OVA utilizes a Domesday LD rip captured by w0wmd. Translation is still the same as with v1 but with a good portion of lines tweaked by Yume—this also uses a new font for the dialogue and added typesetting for the title logo + on-screen character names (thank you TougeWolf & Windii for these).

That's all I can think of at the moment. Maybe there are some other important (or minor) additions to this release but I can't be bothered to think about what they were. At the very least though—this is absolutely a HUGE improvement over the first version of this OVA that I released years ago, so consider using this version instead if you're looking to watch it for the first time ever.

Before anyone asks—yes, I do intend on re-doing the 2nd OVA too at some point but I can't tell you when that will be, unless someone beats me to it first.

A follow-up from the previous episode where Memole & her friends notice that Marielle doesn't eat much due to her lack of appetite—Memole pays her another visit to investigate why she is rarely hungry. Some hilarity ensues in the second half after Memole ventures outside of Marielle's room.

Bit of a funny story behind this one. I acquired this episode on 16mm back in March 2023 but didn't actually get it scanned until a full year after this was acquired LMAO

This got translated in July 2024 but I hadn't begun looking at it until the last few weeks of October. It was pretty last minute, but it suddenly hit me that I wanted to post this on Halloween since it was a Dracula-themed episode, and so I made every effort to try and get this edited & TLC'ed so I could post it on time.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it on time for 10/31... but at the very least, this episode is finally finished now, so I'm posting it tonight to get it over with.

That said... this is a film scan of Episode 9 of Zukkoke Knight: Don de la Mancha. This show hadn't received a full release of any sorts until earlier this year when it finally got added onto streaming, but it uses a very bad tape master and some of the episodes are even corrupted...
Ashi Pro still has the masters, but they're unable to get them scanned in HD due to budget issues, so an official HD remaster isn't happening any time soon. For now, this is the closest we'll get to seeing what the show would look like in HD.

Marty subbing toku... who would have thought?
(This won't be the last time, but that's another story for another time)

I had heard for a while that the live-action Gridman show has... really bad official English subs. Matter of fact, Gridman was one of those shows that I wanted to check out eventually but the lack of an actual good-quality release resulted in me putting a low priority on checking it out.

It seemed like someone was going to scrub the subs years ago, but only episode 1 was put out and the project got dropped afterwards for some unknown reason I don't know of—despite the subber still being active nowadays...

I randomly got the urge to check out Episode 1 many months ago, and... despite the somewhat dated production values, I really liked it! It's got an interesting premise and I enjoyed the idea of having cyber heroes fight off villains looking to wreck the real world via "digital" means. And so—seeing how nobody else was seemingly going to fix up the subs any time soon...

I decided to do it myself :)

Episodes 01 ~ 03 are the /m/subs release, but with various lines tweaked & re-timed here and there. Episodes 04 & 05 are translated from scratch by Yume—and the rest of the show, going forward, will be TL'ed from the ground up too.

The show is currently translated up to episode 9—more & more episodes will be translated in the following months, but they will still need to be edited by me. The plan after this release was to upload the remaining episodes one by one (and do batch releases later), but maybe I might just do batches of five instead like with today's release. This is subject to change though, it's not final!

That said, enjoy these subs. They're a huge improvement over the official Mill Creek release and really deserve this treatment!

After having won the tug of war against the adults in the previous episode, Memole & friends set out to visit Marielle once again. After their arrival, they learn more about Marielle's (rather strict) caretaker, as well as her pet cat Jojo—they also ask Marielle about what she had meant by that "comment" of hers after her revival, and Marielle proceeds to give them some backstory about her past and what led to her current situation.
