With those you can enable or disable the subs from the OGM control panel, and sometimes even listen to either the original or dubbed audio track. You might be able to extract a .sub file from one of those. I found epi...

I am almost certain that the script also has much to contribute. The words they speak seem almost like chirps, as though short one or two syllable words were more often spoken by women than by men, while men's lines contain many longer words. However, since I do not speak Japanese, this might as...
