There aren't any full subs of all the extra material. Like, every episode on the dvds has a track and sometimes two of character commentary by the voice actors. But none of this is translated. Because the translations are based on machine translations of the scripts which that are cleaned up by an editor looking them over and making small changes. The commentary tracks don't have scripts to work from, so there's just nothing. That's the state of fansubbing, unfortunately. And of course it's just a really wordy show, where a significant number of the jokes are based on wordplay and references that can't be machine translated. It would need extensive notes to communicate to the audience, or very skilled professional translation. And a show like this is just not going to get that.

You can, literally, learn enough Japanese to watch the raws or read the books in less time than it will take for good subs to exist. It takes maybe 3-6 months.
