Hospital is great. The pit traps genuinely had me in tears, I couldn't breathe for so long. Especially the second one for some reason, the doctor jumping out of his flashy car and straight into a pit. It caught me off-guard I guess.

Came across a hilarious subbed episode of gaki no tsukai that I'd never seen before, hopefully it's new to some of you as well. The guys test their foreplay skills against reigning champ Matsumoto, with a batsu game for the loser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_afSDGESIM Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYbFfPdNug Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuD6oSN_6PA Part 3 Bad Bromance fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Aug 8, 2012 |

I watched the first 5 minutes of the first episode but I was unsure if I was grasping what the core concept of the show was. watch a full episode I watched a few minutes of one episode when they first started rolling out with subs. I didnt like it and moved on. I am so glad I gave it a second chance. Its completely absurd.

I was kind of tepid on the first episode, but when they look at Matsuomoto and call him Ken Watanabe and laugh so hard at their cleverness, I lost it. Because it's so close to something real anchors would do.

I really enjoyed this variety/game show, Dero!, which seems to be based on the kind of "Escape the Locked Room" games that you might play on the internet. The production is really well done. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xot95y_dero_fun EDIT: Note, there's a Gaki appearance in a weird sort of way.

There are only 5 Japanese shows that I like, two of them being anime (Pokemon & Speed Racer, both having a very western style), and the rest being game shows, two of them already mentioned here (the Gaki no Tsukai batsu games, and the world's best obstacle course program, Sasuke). I tried to like Takeshi's Castle, but the dubbed version is poo poo, and the original version is dated and contains some VERY "Japanese" comedy skits as filler... But onto that third game show - Challenger On Fire (incorrectly titled "Challengers Of Fire" on Hawaiian TV)! This show is amazing. A shame that it's so hard to find video clips these days... It ran during the 1990's. The format is a pair of hosts and a panel of celebrities commenting on several different challenges each episode (the prize for each challenge is 1 million yen), and WHAT challenges! The highlight is the electric rod maze (why on Earth haven't they done this in the West yet?), which went through several different revisions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C5ZynqOJn0 Other challenges include, but are absolutely NOT limited to: Name 100 - A panel of a hundred people is given a hundred themed questions of increasing difficulty, and whoever gets them all wins the prize. Some categories included Star Wars, anime characters, kanji, and karaoke songs. Keep a tissue in the air with your breath until time runs out. Eat enough food within a few hours to gain a certain amount of weight. Solve a floor maze while your partner is going through it in a motorized chair. Hit a home run on one pitch. Stop a timer while blindfolded, then match that time exactly in a sprint. Get your baby to crawl to you through a maze. Send your child to buy 3 randomly chosen grocery items. Hide in the woods, and avoid being discovered by specialists for the whole day. Catch 10 plates thrown by a monkey. Guess what your partner has drawn. Catch the money while going down a ski slope. Build a tower in a pool to reach the goal. Climb a steep slope with water running down it. Cry on command. And the next best one after the electric rod maze, survive several shiatsu massage points of increasing difficulty!

Technically, we do have one, but I've been slacking a lot the past few months. I'm currently in the middle of timing and typesetting the Seven Ranger Game (sequel to the Five Ranger Game, naturally) from a translation by zari-gani. We previously put out the Friendly Downtown with Yoiko segment, and we have a number of other episodes lined up, but working on them is pretty low priority for me right now.

It got retooled from SaW: The Home Game to Indiana Jones and the Egyptian Tombs of Doomy Doom DOOOOOOM. That's lame. With DERO! and Solitary both gone, I now have no "Saw meets game show" fix.

For what it's worth I'm learning how to subtitle thanks to the tutorials in the Tech Support Fort over at the LP subforum (Virtualdub and Notepad, nothing swishy). I'm not kidding myself that I'll be useful to anybody as I am now, but I have a ton of free time for the next couple of months and I really need something to do. What I was going to do was grab subtitles off the Downtown Fanpage or Gaki Files and just get stuck in, probably on an old Kiki as the format is very repetitive and I know it well. However if you or zari-gani happen to have any spare subtitles knocking about would you be willing to send them my way? It's just for learning purposes, however if I actually do a semi decent job then at least some new content comes out of it (possibly, maybe)  Oh - and my husband and I watched DERO last night and got all excited when we guessed the mystery face segment. We're so lame.

Thanks Gutcruncher, it's a nice confidence boost to know I'm not fooling myself. Actually, I've been digging around Downtown fanpages and have found a load of French subtitles that so far haven't been translated into English. French to English I can do edit - turns out getting my hands on decent raws is a huge pain in the rear end. Downtown fanpage is an entire forum of dead links, boo

Downtown fanpage is an entire forum of dead links, boo I have a bunch of Downtown-related subtitles I did years ago -- mostly Gaki -- but it's been difficult finding the raw video files to match them with. If anyone can find them and are willing to time them that'd be great. I would also love to translate Ametalk episodes but that would take a ton of time and dedication for both me and whoever would time it. For now it would take too much time away from my self-imposed GCCX duties. Dotch Cooking Show is also high on my list of J-TV interests. The show has been officially subbed and shown in the US, but the subtitles are so-so (while mostly accurate, they skip over a bunch of lines and they sound awkward) and I would like to give it a more proper and thorough sub treatment. If you've never seen this show, I highly recommend it and there's a ton of subbed episodes on Youtube. If you like Iron Chef, well I'd say this show is even better.

Anyone seen the new Gakifiles translation yet? (http://gakifiles.blogspot.de/2012/08/hamadas-no-trick-magic-show.html) It's pretty hilarious in the typical, masochist Hamada way. I cracked up when he did the trick with Tanaka and Endo where he pushes out the middle box and it's supposed to go all the way.

The final teleportation trick, from beginning to end, was funny, but around the time Hamada was throwing them all in the box (to the most appropriate music possible), all I could think was how completely unsettling that must look to someone who doesn't know anything about Hamada's style or the show itself.

I have PM. Feel free. Here's my list of orphaned subs, for those willing to help find raws: Gaki no Tsukai: 500 Things about Hamada, Tickling Club, Spinning Game, History of Batsu Games, Dancing Game, Tanaka gets Pranked, Electrical Outlet Russian Roulette, Match Hamada's Drawing, Match Hamada's Drawing 2, Compete Against Hamada's Art Heyx3 Music Champ: Puffy Ami Yumi, GazettE interview, Britney Spears, Ayumi Hamasaki, Glay interview, Nightmare interview, Miyavi interview, Matsumoto vs. Gackt, Universal Studios ride I also had a bunch of Kiki Taste episodes but I see those have been all done now, which is great. And I actually have a high-res file for Electrical Outlet Russian Roulette (so it's ready to be subbed), and a shoddy file for Spinning Game (would like to find a better version, but better than nothing). I know Tanaka gets pranked a lot, but this was a particularly brutal one where they seriously make him think he's about to be killed by a heckler and I don't think it was scripted. I also have several raw episodes of Lincoln which I might translate if I ever have the free time. zari-gani fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Aug 15, 2012 |

About four or five years ago I was in Japan and we were watching TV and there was this one show where you had to build pyramids with dice. Very. Tiny. Dice. Contestants had some 20-something hours to complete it, and it was incredibly stressful and nerve-wracking. There was another show where a guy had to get out of a very small parking spot with a van like in Austin Powers. Anyone know where I find either of those shows? Preferably the dice one as it was the funniest.

A friend of mine showed me the 24 hour tag batsu game, and I was both entertained and intrigued. Currently scouring the internet/this thread for more subtitled content. He also introduced me to Vermillion Pleasure Night, which he aptly described as "A Japanese sketch show where the punch lines are 5 minutes too late, and the sketch continues on for another 5 minutes after the punchline", and yet none of us could look away.

Jumpin' Jeebus. I'm stressed out just looking at that poor guys face, I can smell the exhausted concentration through my monitor. The best I could manage is a somewhat neat Jenga tower. By the way, don't know if anybody here is interested but I've been re subbing an old episode of Genkai in which Yamasaki tries to order iced coffee without actually saying 'iced coffee'. I'm pretty much finished with part one and I would love some goon feedback as I'm learning all this as I go along. If I post it here would you guys take a look?
