Japanese game show in which contestants try to complete various obstacle courses while the announcer shouts jibberish over it.

Anyone else addicted to this show?

Yeah, I watch it. They'll showing reruns though which I've already seen the reruns of, so I'm not currently watching it.

I do watch a show that tried 3 contestants earlier this summer and gave them a chance to be on the show.

2 made it through and they'll be shown on new episodes of Ninja Warrior in November. They're being flown from the U.S. to be on Ninja Warrior and my show will be there as well and show us everything.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

I just learned about it from my dad so I have only seen a couple episodes. Saw the one where the one guy actually makes it all the way yesterday.

I like how there's never any mention of award money or anything. Good luck trying to find that in America..

Another entertaining element to this show is the announcer. I love how he always identifies the contestants by their dead end jobs. Can the gas jockey overcome the sliding pole challange?!?!

this show is pretty funny. i love it when contestants fall or hit something. didn't takeshi's castle have an american version too? with guy ladouche... member? you member...

I can not get enough of this show. The announcer does bring it all together.

The one I still remember to this day is the contestant who dressed as superman and ate it on the second obstacle (rolling log).

In the beginning, the announcer said, "he is ready to leap into action"...and kept calling him the Japanese Clark Kent hysterical.....

isnt this kinda like MXC?

Hey Hidden Lotus wavey

Yea they are similar. I personally like Ninja Warrior more. MXC is more of a jokey reality show, slightly corny.

those damn announcers are hilarious
