Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 G4 has been showing this Japanese show called Ninja Warrior (subtitled). It's like a timed obstical course where 100 people try it and see if they can get through all 4 stages. I know this isn't a great description, but does anyone else watch this? example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU6-42QL7NE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Yeah, I'll watch it now and again while channel flipping. It's pretty entertaining, but the awful translations and the fact that they seem to keep showing the same five episodes over and over again keep me from really enjoying the program.

You gotta admit, you survive those stages and you can work weapons then you obviously ARE a ninja. And not one of the Woody Paige Warriors. It's enjoyable, seeing the stuff I know I could do and the stuff that would make me decide to just leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justice 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah, my bro and I watch it all the time. It's one hell of a skills challenge. I believe the first two stages are timed, the third isn't, and the final climb is. And personally I love the announcing and translations. It's like watching Puro Gladiators or something; listening to the guy absolutely SCREAM HIS LUNGS OUT during the entire stage is easily one of the highlights. But the challenges are honest-to-God ridiculous. The worst one is the 'Cliffhanger' and those rings they have to slide across. I'd just jump in the water at that point.

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2007 I'm amazed when some Japanese wrestler, or Olympian can't make it... while some average person gets pretty damn close to the finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I laughed when the Olympian, Wrestler, star baseball player and a gymnastic star all failed...but a local fry cook and a high school kid who makes models of the courses both made it. That was just great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah, how can you not like the show when just a simple high school track runner beats an Olympian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
