   Stores like Mandarake in Japan often sell second-hand copies of scripts,   
   but unsurprisingly a) they're difficult to get hold of from the West (and   
   not often for popular/easy to get hold of shows) and b) they'll be filled   
   with kanji, obviously.   
      
   I suppose some scripts might be available on Yahoo! Japan's auction   
   service, if you manage to find anything worthwhile you can use proxy   
   bidding services (although unfortunately I can't think of any off the top   
   of my head, having never done so myself).
