My Japanese language study group often complains about the original Japanese
in anime being too difficult to understand on the grounds of it being spoken
too fast or something. I was wondering whether the original Japanese-language
scripts for a given anime (say, Toradora) can be downloaded. From this a
vocabulary list could be prepared.

If I want to see the script for Kill Bill, it's here:

<http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/k/kill-bill-script-transcript-
uma.html>

and The Outlaw Josie Wales is here:

<https://www.scripts.com/script/the_outlaw_josey_wales_15436> (suboptimal,
however)

Would anything like this exist for anime? Nothing promising searching for
とらドラ脚本

question
resources
Are Japanese-language anime scripts available on line?


I found the following searching for "learn japanese from anime".

<https://nihongoshark.com/anime/>

This describes, well, a similar learning method, where one can do things with
a subtitle file (if available).

From there I found a link to

<https://kitsunekko.net/>

which has a reasonable selection of material.

Lastly, there is always text ripping using <https://ytmp3.cc/en13/> then
<https://convertspeech.com/processing.php> (Disclosure: nothing to do with
either of these, just tried them once) You only get three free conversions
(which I suppose can be subverted with multiple computers or multiple IP
adresses). It gets some things wrong and the reading level is not that good,
but it's infinitely better than nothing.

I found [this
page](https://transcribedanimescripts.tumblr.com/completedscripts) that has a
few anime scripts. It's not a super complete list although, you can check them
in:

  * English
  * English and Romaji
  * English and Japanese
  * Japanese

Toradora only has [2 episodes
scripted](https://transcribedanimescripts.tumblr.com/post/662724597433663488/toradora-
master-list) but, for example, Violet Evergarden has the whole series.
