How is it that my Japanese listening comprehension is bad enough that I know myself to be absolutely unqualified for doing fansubs (at least without a script -- I know that captions have gotten more available on Japanese broadcast TV, but I have no idea if fansubbers are working off captioned files.

Oh!

I think I figured one part out...
