Ninja Warrior (Sasuke & Kunoichi)

This is an obstacle course TV competition show that airs twice a year. My wife has been wanting me to find this for her for some time and only recently did I find the American name for it. Anyhow I would appreciate any help in tracking down episodes or the posting of torrents for this. Evidently it was shown on G4 with subtitles.

Thanks

In Japan SASUKE is shown as a three hour special, not broken up into episodes like on G4. As far as I can tell, none of the past competitions have been either re-aired or released on video or DVD in Japan. People may have tapes/dvds but they'd probably be rare too.

You can try asking in the Seeding and Upload Request Forum , but for some reason I vaguely remember something uploaded on one of the trackers listed in the Links of Interest at some point in time...
Unsure

Maybe it was Shinobi... scratch

it's been a while since this one was revived. i've been watching this on G4 every so often. quite interesting.

the last one i watched was the 20th annual one, and some 20yr old dude from michigan won. i was really rooting for the home team, but i felt a few of them were too overconfident.

Best show ever! I know like 50-100 people that watch it in L.A. alone... they need an american version. It's way funnier and harder than American Gladiator.

Ive seen it a few times.
G4 Does it good without DUBBING the commentators and the subs are dead on.

The subbing/dubbing reminds me of Iron Chef and if you understand Japanese you can tell they're leaving stuff out of the subbing but sadly that seems to be the case with 'professional subtitling'.

Wasn't ABC trying to jump on this bandwagon? I saw some commercials for a show called Wipeout that looked like an obstacle course show along with some other show called 'I Survived a Japanese Game Show' An American version would be interesting but I have little hope they could pull it off. Look how badly they messed up Iron Chef (and all the other remakes of Asian shows/films).

Raw episodes of Sasuke and Kunoichi (and Takeshi's Castle) would be awesome!

ok, so now i'm starting to get pretty addicted to this thing.

g4 is now showing KUNOICHI - ninja warriors for women (lady ninjas). i watched several eps and already developed a few favorites:

rie komiya - man, she's cute AND athletic. what can you say?
ayako miyake - what a trooper! she's just amazing; passing some obstacles with almost no effort.
yuko mizuno - she's pretty cute too, but i felt sick when she missed the button on the last one by less than a second.

anyone else watching this?

Hey guys,

Sorry to revive an old thread, especially since I'm a new member. However, I have news and I need help.

I run a SASUKE/Ninja Warrior forum, and we've been following SASUKE for years now:
http://sasukemaniac.proboards.com/

Anyway, a few months ago, Monster 9 (the producers) announced that not only SASUKE 23 would happen, but also a new KUNOICHI tournament, the first in 2 years.
http://www.monster9.com/news20090626.html

Naturally, we're excited. According to reports, the tournaments will be filmed the first two weeks of September to be shown in late September/early October.

Now, for the help. I've been lurking these forums for a long time and you guys have helped tremendously in helping us as a community watch the show online (since most of us are not in Japan). A year ago for the 21st competition, we had livestation to rely on, and for 22 in March, he had tvants. However, now, their currently isn't any HQ option. We only have keyhole as a safety net. Does anyone know another stream where TBS is showing (preferably free)?

Thanks for any info.

I'm not familiar with this show but due to rave reviews here I'm going to check it out. Thanks.
