Need check on my listening

I have the English subtitles, but it doesn't seem to be much of help to me, as they localized quite a lot instead of being literal.

A : ＡＴＸチームが敵陣中央を突破。敵艦の直営に接摘しま す。
B : ふむ...コスト度外視の試作機にしては時間が掛かりすぎ る。所詮Ｌ５戦役の勝利も幸運に過ぎなかったか？
C : 艦長！ラングレー基地より入電、ケネス・ゲレット司令 です。

If you can do this, you are already as good as or even better than a native speaker. You don't need my help, period.

By the way what does 直営に接摘しま す mean? In my past experience with you, you always told me you only had a small dictionary. How did you find 接摘, which is a technical term most Japanese, myself included, wouldn't even know?

[delacroix01]

Actually I just got a little bit lucky after my 11th attempt to listen to the audio. I made a guess based on the English translation I read and got the words by chance. I know my level. It's far from being fully able to listen well, and the 18th file proved that <_< Regarding the word 接摘, I just happened to see it on a certain Japanese blog while googling for information related to the show. Perhaps I were able to guess that much because the anime is adapted from my favorite game, which I got to know even before I know Japanese. But still, the script is totally different, so it's still very difficult for me to catch every word, unlike with some anime adaptations from novels or manga.

Anyway, I've been owing you a lot, and I know how tiresome it must be for you to answer so many questions a day. It's still fine if you don't want to waste your time for my request, since I'm well awared that doing this is very tiring. I'll try asking someone else, although I'm sure they won't be able to provide help with awesome accuracy as yours. Thank you

This is a great gift for me today. Thank you so much. The result I got on my last attempt was still not half as correct as yours.

Well, in an official English translation, they translated the line as "They've altered the entire course of the fight with just three units." Would 先刻 be a possible word for the blank?

It makes no sense then. The girl is a human, not a cyborg or an android. One thing unusual about her is that she loves to do pranks, while the captain is an overly serious, arrogant guy and he usually scolds his subordinates, including her. The word sounds like いんげん to me, but the only word I can find in my dictionary with that reading is 隠元, and it means "beans", which doesn't seem right either. Do you have any idea about the possible word here?

Also, I haven't seen the phrase 期を見て anywhere else before. Could you please tell me its meaning?

And finally, just to make sure, does まどぐち mean "contact person" in the line まどぐちは探し続けるよ? There are two definitions in my dictionary, and only this one seems to make sense. But then again, it's better to ask when I'm not sure about it.

[Sashimister]

I don't really feel like listening to the audio again because I've already done so about 20-30 times for the parts that I have difficultyy hearing with.

I'll try some other ways. Can you tell me the exact volume number or episode number? This is called スーパーロボット大戦OG? Is this in manga as well?

[delacroix01]

Well, it seems that those parts are anime original content. It's on the second half of episode 1. The show is Crunchyroll'ed, so it got leaked on a lot of streaming sites and is quite easy to find. The full name is スーパーロボット大戦OG -ジ・インスペクター-, in case you need it.

[Sashimister]

OK. I forgot to ask about another thing. Where are the "official translations" you speak of?

[delacroix01]

Ah, that's the subs from Crunchyroll. It seems they have the original scripts for every show they have on their website, so usually I don't notice any errors in their translations, but figuring out the script via audio is another problem that can't be done with just the translation. I even re-opened the game, but it only helps just a little as the anime script is technically different.

No, it wouldn't. Regardless of the accuracy of the tanslation, one just wouldn't say あっという間に先刻.

I've listened to this part over 40 times and I still have no idea what's being said. I will have to withdraw now.

いんげん艦長？ If that's what's being said, I wouldn't know what it meant at all.

I have let a total of about 6 other native speakers listen and/or watch this video but no luck. Of course not! If I don't know what's said after hearing it dozens of times, it would be unnatural if someoen else can know.

Also, I haven't seen the phrase 期を見て anywhere else before. Could you please tell me its meaning?

It means "to watch for a chance or good timing (to do something)".

And finally, just to make sure, does まどぐち mean "contact person" in the line まどぐちは探し続けるよ? There are two definitions in my dictionary, and only this one seems to make sense. But then again, it's better to ask when I'm not sure about it.

It's a window on a counter in places like banks, post offices, ticket booths, etc. through which you transact with a clerk. It can also mean a contact person. Figuratively, a "business opportunity".

I see. Well, since it's not much of an important detail, I guess I can just skip it.

So this mean it's something that can't be figured out just by listening. I guess I'll have to replay the game thoroughly to see if this word ever appears in the game.

Anyways, I really appreciate your help, as always. I think I have corrected quite a number of my mistakes using this method. I'll be back with some questions on the next episode when my class assignment is over. Hopefully I will be able to reduce the number of questions on next time.
