Mistral Fansubs is planning on translating it according to the fansub map. You can apply to help them out if you want to.

greenspy · Post by **greenspy** » Apr 9th, '08, 19:55

A great news that Mistral Fansub is subbing this drama...
I'm so glad.

But they have another projects to do before this drama, right?
I think it will be a long time to wait...T-T

However, it is better to have a fansub than nothings...

Hi, I'm Mistral's main typesetter.

I can tell you we're working on our four shows simultaneously. Coin Locker Monogatari Episode 1 should be released today at some point. And we just got someone to volunteer as translator for Battery, so The first episode should hopefully be out soon. How soon I can't say, but know that it's being worked on.

slimsprint · Post by **slimsprint** » Apr 10th, '08, 01:27

Yup, I did apply to help them! It's all set to go, and hopefully we'll get it done well!

I've notice that the dramawiki doesnt have the ratings for this drama [yet], so if there's someone obsessed with them like me and is interested, I've put online a page where i collect them. Anyway, here they are:

第1回 04/03 「本気になれよ！」 .. 8.1%
第2回 04/10 「俺（おれ）を信じろ！」 .. 9.6%

greenspy · Post by **greenspy** » Apr 12th, '08, 18:25

I don't know why the rating is lower than 10%.
Because after I've watched the 1st and 2nd episodes I think this drama is very nice.
The story is so fantastic with the powerful of baseball.
The charactors are change and symbolic.
Yuma-kun play well with his

ecco27 · Post by **ecco27** » Apr 13th, '08, 01:36

I wonder about the ratings though, because I'm not sure but from what I can tell the episode is played more than once so actually more people might be watching but maybe the ratings only count one showing?

XrayMind · Post by **XrayMind** » Apr 19th, '08, 23:25

Hmm, been waiting for 2 days for episode 3 to show up on Share. I don't know if the Japanese encoder gave up on the series or not.

ecco27 · Post by **ecco27** » Apr 20th, '08, 02:37

Actually, there wasn't an episode last week... the next episode will be on the 24th.

greenspy · Post by **greenspy** » Apr 23rd, '08, 08:23

I don't know why they skip airing Battery last week.
Can anyone tell me the reason?

slimsprint · Post by **slimsprint** » May 9th, '08, 09:27

If anyone knows where to find (simplified) chinese subtitles, please drop me a PM! I think I'm going to attempt translating from Chinese subtitles, if I can find them that is

XrayMind · Post by **XrayMind** » May 17th, '08, 17:55

I got 2 PMs asking about ep6. Here's what I wrote back.

me wrote: If you haven't been following the torrent comments on my other RAW uploads, you then would of known there were 3 arrest in Japan for people uploading RAW anime video files on the Japanese P2P network. Ever since then, RAW video have hard to come by for many Japanese Anime and drama series. As of right now, no raw for ep5 of Battery has shown up on the Japanese P2P network.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... re-program

This series has only one sharer on Share P2P network, while other drama series had 2 or 3 sharers. I don't think the drama sharer got arrested. But he/she has stop sharing since the arrest of the Anime sharers.

If you want the song you'll have to wait for Mr.Children's next album as the song won't be included on their next two singles. It will most likely be out by the end of this year.
