For some reason the topic I was posting in got deleted. ^^;;
I have no experience with subbing, but here's a script I knocked up for the episode 1 translation. I hope it's useful to someone. And I'm really sorry, but I won't be translating episode 2. It's too time-consuming. ^^;; I guess this is mostly so people can see if they're interested in the show, and then from there maybe you can talk to fansub groups about getting it subbed?
Episode 1 script:
The bits that I'm not 100% sure of are in bold. Notes and/or the bits I'm really not sure about are [in brackets]. ^^;;
Oota Shou (OS): That day, we who admire/aim for soccer stood on the field of the [name of the stadium – Kanpuuno? Somewhere in Barcelona] Stadium that everyone aims for. There, we played the kind of soccer that only we could play and shook the world!
(Opening plays)
Angry ossan (AO): What kind of daydream nonsense are you spouting? Momoyama Predators' new sixth year [grade 6] team is disbanded from today onwards!
OS: Eeeehhh?! No way, so suddenly...! The qualifiers start really soon!
AO: It can't helped. The sixth year team only has you in it now. For the qualifiers, we'll go with the new fifth year team.
OS: About the disbandment...! I'll gather new members, so...
AO: I'm sorry, but it's a decided thing.
OS: [He literally calls him 'Representative']! Then for that team, I'll...!
AO: For you who's not good enough to even get on the bench, it's impossible.
OS: WAIT, PLEASE...! *le fall flat on face*
Everyone: Lololololol.
OS: Jeez, it wasn't like I did that on purpose. Sure! Sorry that I'm no good! I've never been in a real match. But you know, I can't do practise. It's not my fault. Ahh, what should I do...
Takato Erika (TE): Ok, next we'll go with a dribble!
[Note: She speaks in an Osaka accent]
OS: Ah... She's good...
TE: We'll up the speed!
OS: Wow, so fast!
TE: What, you give up already? That's no good! If you can't get the ball, you can't play!
OS: Hey, you! Your dribbling is so fast! Your turning is so fast too! You play soccer right? Are you in a team somewhere?
TE: Hey you, before you start asking questions, you should introduce yourself first!
OS: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Oota Shou! You are?
TE: I'm... Takato Erika.
OS: Takato-san? What year are you in?
TE: This year... sixth year.
OS: Hmmm! Then we're the same. *Peers at chest*
TE: P-pervert!
OS: No, you're wrong, I was looking at the team name! Dan...delion?
TE: Dandelion!
OS: Lion? That's a strong-sounding name~
TE: No, that's wrong! Dandelion means 'tanpopo'!
OS: Oh.
TE: Where I'm from in Osaka, Dandelion is famous you know.
Man on bench (MOB): Jeez, so noisy...
OS: Never mind that – Let me practise soccer with you!
TE: What? You play soccer too?
OS: Yeah! After all, I'm in the Momoyama Predators team... kind of...
TE: Hmm? What?
OS: Ah, nothing!
TE: Hmm...
OS: I can't join in?
TE: Well, ok.
OS: Really?!
TE: But before that, play a bit with Zack.
OS: Zack?
Zack: WOOF.
OS: WAAAAAH!
TE: I'll tell you now, it'd be bad to underestimate him.
OS: Eeehhhh...?
TE: THERE!
OS: Ooooh...
TE: What're you standing around admiring for?
OS: Ah!
Zack: *smugface*
TE: He says 'hurry and take it'!
OS: Yeah, I got it!
TE: Good luck~
MOB: Humph.
OS: I GOT IT...!! *le fall on bum* Owowow... You...!
TE: [no idea]
OS: My turn... OOPS.
(much pwnage by Zack)
TE: … This is no good.
OS: I won't lose!!!
MOB: Hahaha! Keep trying, boy! *staggers drunkenly off*
TE: How about you give up now?
OS: No way! That alone I won't do!
TE: Huh... But, will he/you be ok?
OS: Calm down... concentrate on the ball... corner him... CONCENTRATE!
*le fall on bum with ball*
TE: Heeeeh...
OS: … I did it... With that, it's my victory, right?!
TE: I wonder about that.
OS: EH?!
TE: It was just this one time.
OS: Well, yeah, but...! I still got it!
TE: Zack-san, how about it?
Zack: Wuuuergh.
OS: You're letting a dog make that decision? -___-
OS: Please, one more time!
TE: Well, even if you go that far... [referring to his dogeza]
OS: PLEASE.
TE: Jeez, how far is your seriousness going to extend... *sigh* Can't be helped. Ok, then.
OS: REALLY?
TE: Because you insist that much.
OS: Thank you!
TE: Heh.
TE: Hey, you really do play soccer.
OS: What do you mean?
TE: Well, cos you sucked.
OS: You said it so straight-forwardly... Takato-san, you're entering a team here?
TE: Yeah, that's the plan.
OS: Oh... Then...!
TE: Hey, I'm gonna volley it!
OS: Ah, sorry! … Nice.
TE: Zack, stay!
OS: *le Fail*
TE: Wow, he really sucks...
*le pretty sunset*
TE: I'm gonna go home soon.
OS: Oh, ok! It was fun, thanks!
TE: See ya!
OS: Bye!
OS: That wasn't much practise for her, huh? I feel kinda bad. [He literally says 'I did something bad', but it means more like, 'oops, she didn't get much out of it because of me'] Ahh, soccer's the best! *flops back* … Wait, this is no good!! I can't let her go home! I have to invite her to the team!
OS: TAKATO-SAAAAAAN! Oi! Erika-chan! Wait, there was something I wanted to say.
TE: What, you gonna confess to me?
OS: What're you saying?!
TE: You're bright red.
OS: No, not that. You said you were planning to join a team, right?
TE: Yeah.
OS: Then, join my team! Your dribbling is super-cool! My team split up, and now I'm looking for new teammates. Please, join! … You won't?
TE: LOL. You're such a persistent guy! All of a sudden you blurt things out like that!
OS: You think? Eh, people do say that... My voice is loud, and I'm annoying...
TE: It's like I'm being hit on by a stranger, this is.
OS: EH?
TE: I'm glad you invited me. Thanks.
OS: Then...!
TE: I'm sorry, but after looking at you I can understand the level of your team. I want to play somewhere a bit stronger, you know?
OS: The Predators were actually a strong team, you know...
Shadow #1: We can't tag along with a coach like this!
Shadow #2: Don't joke around.
Shadow #3: No way, no way. It's no good, this team!
Shadow #4: My parents are telling me to focus on entrance exams.
Shadow #5: There aren't enough members...
Shadow #6: It's all over the place, this team!
TE: Hey... hey, I understand you're down after being rejected, but who's that kid?
OS: Hmm?
*le blond kid being great*
TE: What's with that kid?
OS: That's Kawahara Kokusai Heavenly's Aoto-kun. This year at the local qualifiers, they made it to the semi-finals.
TE: Huh...
OS: At that time, we won against them 4-3.
TE: I see... WAIT, you won against that kid's team? NO WAIT, you went to the finals?! Your team was that strong?
OS: Yep! Oh, let's invite him and practise some more!
TE: Wait...! You, so suddenly...!
OS: Aoto-kun! Hey! Long time no see, since the last match! Wow... your technique is as amazing as ever!
Aoto Takuma (AT): … Who're you?
OS: Eh? Er, I'm Momoyama Predators' Oota Shou!
AT: I've never seen you before.
OS: Oh, is that right... Well, during the match I was in the cheering section, huh... Well, if you're practising, why don't you practise with us? How about it?
TE: Wow, blue eyes...
OS: There's still a little time before the sun sets.
AT: Sorry, but I'm done for today. See ya.
OS: No good after all...
TE: You really are persistent, aren't you... Hey, did you really win against that kid's team?
OS: Yeah, we really did.
TE: Hmm... Hey, tomorrow, can I see where you practise?
OS: Eh? Of course! I'll write you a map now!
TE: Then, see ya tomorrow! Let's go Zack.
OS: At 1 in the afternoon, ok? See you!
AO: The team is DISBANDED!!
OS: … No! It'll be ok somehow! We'll make something happen!
OS: I'm back!
Mum: Welcome back!
OS: *To the customers* Thanks for your patronage!
Customer: Hey. Playing soccer today too?
OS: Yep.
Mum: Could you lend a hand? Kumi-chan isn't back yet.
OS: Got it!
OS: Three of these! Sorry about the wait.
Customer: Thanks.
*le continuing to serve customers*
Kumi-chan: I'm back.
OS: Welcome back!
Mum: Well done. Shou, we don't need you any more, thanks.
OS: Ok!
Kumi-chan: Thanks for the hard work.
OS: No problem. *le listing the table orders etc that need to be done*
Kumi-chan: As always, you spot things so well!
OS: Nah, it's cos I always do it.
Kumi-chan: And that's amazing.
Suzu: [If you can't do at least that much, it's not an example.]
OS: Suzu!
OS: Huh? What's this meat?
Mum: Well, your dinner was late. It's a treat.
OS: NICE.
Mum: I'll make you some miso soup as well. Give Suzu her share as well, ok?
OS: Ok~
*omnomnomnomnomnom*
Suzu: You have to chew properly when you eat.
OS: Eh, it's cos I did so much exercise.
Suzu: Soccer practise?
OS: Yeah.
Suzu: Hmm? But I heard that the sixth year team was disbanded...
OS: *chokes*
Suzu: Ew!
OS: Where did you hear that?
Suzu: From some of the third-years.
OS: Keep that a secret from Mum, ok? OK?!
Suzu: Ok... I think it'll be impossible though...
OS: Why?
Mum: Because I already heard it.
OS: -_____-
Mum: I see... Those three...
OS: Yeah... Then after that, the other kids said that had entrance exams, and before I knew it I was on my own.
Mum: When?
OS: A month ago.
Mum: Ah! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
OS: Mm... Well, it was my problem... And Mum, you work so hard every day in the restaurant, so I didn't want to bother you...
Mum: What kind of [?] are you saying? So, what will you do? Search for a new team?
OS: No... I haven't played in a real match yet, so I don't want to quit now. I thought I'd get new members and revive the team, but...
Suzu: From now on? That's impossible.
OS: Shut up.
Mum: Suzu.
Suzu: Ok~ [As in, 'I'll be quiet~]
OS: Then, today, I found someone talented. They said they'd come see practise tomorrow, so I think I'll talk to Representative [the guy I refer to as 'Angry ossan']. Because... I absolutely want to play soccer.
Mum: Good. Try your best!
AO: Huh? New member?
OS: She was in a team in Osaka, and her skills are amazing, and I think she'd be a great addition!
TE: Pleased to meet you!
AO: I told you that the sixth year team was disbanded though... You can't play with just the two of you.
TE: The two of us? Wait, what's up with that?! Your member-gathering is at zero?!
AO: What, you didn't tell her?
OS: No...
AO: Well, there you go. This conversation stops here. And you know, even if you say she's talented, she's a girl... Plus, you guys don't have a coach.
OS: A coach... I see...
OS: I'm sorry. I know it was bad of me not to tell you what was really going on. I didn't mean to trick you though... I was scared you'd refuse me. WAAAAH! … Erika-chan?
TE: That's not why I'm angry! Though, I am kinda pissed about it!
OS: I'm sorry.
TE: More than that, it's that ossan!
OS: Representative?
TE: 'Girls can't play soccer', he says?! In terms of dribbling and scoring goals, I won't lose to boys! The level of Japanese women is high! We won the World Cup! ARGGHH, I'm so annoyed! Shou-kun!
OS: Eep!
TE: Today, you'll practise with me all day.
OS: Ok!! I'll try my best...
OS: Someone got here before us, huh. But, she's amazing! I wonder who she is?
TE: ?! That's Shimizu Misaki, ain't it?
OS: Who?
TE: You don't know?! A midfielder for Nadeshiko Japan!
OS: Eh? Are you serious? But, was she in the World Cup...?
TE: An injury. Before the tournament. She was doing remarkable activities, you know... She's world-class! *sigh* What a waste/it was such a shame. … EH? Again??
OS: Sorry to interrupt you in the middle of practise!
TE: [?????] Idiot!! There's a limit to being friendly!
OS: You're Shimizu Misaki, right? I want to ask a favour!
SM: A favour?
OS: We'd like to play a mini-game with you – OW.
TE: Idiot! I JUST told you that she was injured! And you're too damn slow! This person, you know, was a representative in hers teens! Knowing her name, you so casually...
SM: That uniform!
TE: I'M SO SORRY.
SM: The ever-flowering Lion Heart.
TE: Eh?
SM: You a member of the Nanba Dandelions?
TE: Yes.
SM: I see. Ok, I'll give you a mini game.
OS: Really?!
SM: Really.
OS: Thank you so much!
TE: But, your injury...
SM: It's healed already. I got the ok from my doctor for normal practise.
OS: From that tree to that tree is the goal, ok?
SM: I see.
OS: We swap after whoever scores.
SM: Got it. Shall we start?
OS: Before that, I have one more favour to ask.
SM: Hmm?
OS: If we score once, I'd like you to listen to it.
TE: You...
SM: You're an interesting kid! Ok. Of course, that's only if you can do it. So, it's a serious match. Prepare yourselves and come at me, boy, girl.
OS: Ok!
TE: She's an easy-going person [and/or 'she goes with the flow well'], huh... This ia a ['gottsui' - great?] chance! I wonder how strong she'll be... Well, she has a handicap of two versus one...
TE: As expected of her; I can't pass! Well, how about... EH? No way, she got over here in a second. So fast!
OS: Pass, pass!
TE: As if I can! *le trip* EH? No way! Are you serious?
SM: Not bad, huh.
OS: Even I realised it in a second.
SM: There!
OS: This... this is the power of a pro.
TE: [some kind of football term]
OS: Superb...
TE: So good... So fast... I can't get past at all! It's frustrating... But, it's so fun! Even girls can become this amazing!
SM: Well, I didn't go easy on them, huh.
TE: One... one more...
SM: But, their will to continue is amazing. Come at me!
*le panting*
SM: Shall we finish up?
OS: Wait. Just... one more.
*le taking the ball to inspirational music*
SM: Just now, this kid...
TE: Shoot!
*le dramatic shooting*
TE & OS: We... WE DID IT!!
OS: Ahh, now I'm refreshed!
SM: That last one was splendid. I was being quite serious, too. How did you see through it?
OS: I worked out your habit.
SM: Habit?
OS: Yeah. Misaki-san, when you do a feint, you always do it with your right foot. So, when you changed to your left foot, it was a chance for me.
SM: I see... It was my loss for underestimating you. So, what was the favour you wanted to ask?
OS: PLEASE BECOME THE COACH FOR OUR TEAM!
SM: Haha!
OS: You can't?
TE: Of course! She's a pro! Think before you speak!
SM: I'm sorry. I haven't retired yet, so I can't be a coach for a primary school [elementary school] team. But, if it's a coach you're talking about, you must have one in your team right?
OS: At the moment... we don't. Even though we had really strong players, they didn't want a normal coach. That's why in order to revive the team, a coach who'll persuade them/they'll be satisfied with is necessary!
TE: Me too! I want a coach like Misaki-san!
SM: Seems like you two have a lot on your plate. But, I can't be your coach. … Don't look like that!You both love soccer, right?
TE & OS: Yes!
SM: Then it's ok. As long as you feel like that, you'll definitely find a good coach. … You don't look like you believe me. [After all, you met me, you know.] I came to train at this park by chance. It really was coincidence. The god of soccer let us meet. You'll definitely be able to find a new coach. And you'll be able to gather members. For sure. As long as you don't give up on soccer.
*Erika-chan looks thoughtful*
SM: Having said that, if there's anything I can do then ask me. I'm grateful that you practised with me, after all.
OS: Er, but, right now I can't think of anything...
SM: Haha. Here. It's my mobile phone number.
OS: WOAH.
TE: Seriously?! This is great!
SM: See you!
TE & OS: Thank you very much!
OS: Yeah, she's right! I absolutely won't give up! I'll definitely revive the team!
TE: There's still lots I can do! I can become like her!
TE & OS: Ok!! LET'S DO IT!
