edit: so this isn't just raw japanese subtitles, it's the entire raw japanese television shows that they are supplying. This includes the japanese subtitles.

i'm not sure if this had been mentioned already here. I did a quick search prior to posting this though, and didn't come up with anything for the url.

anyway, hope that is helpful for someone.

here is a project people are working to provide cleaned up japanese subtitle files to go along with 日本人の知らない日本語, in case you just wanted to watch that show in a more compressed format.

happy studying

Transport stream (TS) is not very compressed. Transport streams weigh in between 1.7 and 2.1GB for 30 minutes (ads included, of course, which I think is the best part).

Some raw release groups will demux the subtitle for you so you don't have to download the whole thing. I haven't found a video player that will decode TS subtitles. Use Caption2ASS to demux, retime using Aegis (most compressed releases exclude commercials which won't be accounted for in the raw output), and then use with your favorite player that supports external subtitles. I did the whole thing for Nyan Koi! (download, demux, and retime for all 12 eps) and you can find my subtitles on kitsunekko. I was thinking about doing Bleach 287 next.

Please note that not all TS have subtitles. I'm not familiar enough with them to know which production companies and which TV channels usually have them and which don't. I was looking for Ookami-san subtitles, so if you know of any, please share.

thanks for the extra info, it is really helpful. I will keep an eye out for Ookami-san subs

I'm guessing Elitist-Fags post all the subtitles from transport streams that had them on this site http://transportstreams.org/captions/

That was you?

Haha, thanks!

...damn, I just tacitly admitted that I enjoyed that series enough to track down japanese subtitles for it... double damn, now I've explicitly stated it...

*sigh*

looks like they quiet. some trolling on a forum. first only quiet with anime for a while he sad. Looks like he quitted it all together now. Taking the Japanese subs with him :-( including the ones for the dramas. this sucks you can read it on their homepage.
