Is this the right thread to gush about Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro? It's a super low-budget live-action drama based on the Dragon Quest games in which the hero Yoshihiko goes on a quest with some bros to kill the big demon guy. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's completely hilarious. It came out last Summer, but a fansub group picked it up recently and a second season just started. I guess technically it might belong in the tokusatsu thread, but I don't want to go back in there. :(

Bear with me for a moment.
The new Iron Chef has already begun to air and I didn't even realize it. Any thoughts on it so far?

Edit: Found myself a copy of the first episode and skipped ahead just to see the take on "Allez cuisine!" Tamaki Hiroshi sounds like he's saying "Good gastronomy!" I like that they're changing it up and it emphasizes that this isn't Kaga's Kitchen Stadium, but I still had to laugh for a moment.

I rather like it. The new kitchen stadium is loving swank, the competition remains essentially unchanged, and it's good to see Yukio Hattori back in the booth and the callbacks to the original Iron Chefs to connect the two series.

I really need this in English, though. I'm so bad at parsing anything that's going on in foreign languages.

It's going to be No Laughing Monastery. Here is the preview picture they released:



If you do some digging you can find an interview or press release about it I'm sure. Hopefully the sub team that worked on Spy is going to be working on this year's game because they got it fully subbed fast.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
It is not a monastery theme, actually. The theme will be teachers, more specifically "passionate/enthusiastic" teachers. The confusion came from the picture of the bus but apparently he's being portrayed as merely the founder of the school.

That's a much better theme, honestly.

I'll agree that the teacher theme would be better than monastery. The No Laughing High School was one of my favorite games. Jimmy Onishi counting had me doubled over laughing.

Man Jimmy Onishi counting in english was the first Gaki clip I ever saw ages ago on YouTube, long before I even knew what it was or how to get more of it.

I was just gonna post about being unsure about a monastery theme but teachers sounds great. I wonder if they're gonna do any callbacks to high school or maybe they'll do something with kids again. Depends on what kind of teachers they are and at which "school" I guess.

I have no idea if naked little boys teabagging Hamada would still fly on (japanese) tv in this day and age but that was definitely hilarious and unexpected back in the 24 hour tag back in the day.

High School was the first time they tried getting them out with a desk gag right? I think Yamasaki kept finding trash or something in his desk.

So aside from the Blogspot site that puts up stuff, is there anything similar to Drama Fever that shows this stuff? I am assuming the answer is no since thats the site everyone seems to be linking, but I figured its worth a shot at least asking.

Yeah, this should be better overall. Although I was hoping for a monastery theme so we could once again get a Priest Parakeet joke.

Here's something worth mentioning: In 2013, Yamasaki will quit using that name.

http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/12/comedian-yamasaki-hosei-to-change-his-name-starting-in-2013/

As I understand it, a rakugo pupil will often take his master's name(I guess when the master bestows the chance) and so Yamasaki will do the same and be known as Tsukitei Hosei. He says he will integrate it everywhere in his career so I would be prepared to learn that name going forward if you plan to enjoy Downtown-related stuff in the future.

I have absolutely no idea if that affects his personal life like his wife and kids or whether that's just his new stage name.

e: and holy poo poo, Hey! Hey! Hey! just ended its 18 year run. They really must be gearing down and headed towards retirement. I'm going to be one sad guy the day Gaki no Tsukai ends. :(

I really wonder sometimes if Downtown has developed any sort of previously non-existent disorders or conditions from all the torture they've put themselves/each other through for comedy. I'd imagine being hit in the rear end all the time for years would probably make something weird happen to you.

I've been trying to find a comedy duo that I saw regularly on one of the evening comedy variety shows about three and a half years ago. Their shtick had them doing some goofy dance while chanting, "D-d-d-d-dancing, dancing! D-d-d-d-dancing, dancing! Kore mo, sore mo, are mo, dore mo! D-d-d-d-dancing, dancing!" then stopping, moving into character to do a quick joke often with some physical element, then going back into their chant. They'd do this a few times.

Either my Google-fu is not strong enough to find them (I'm not sure of their name) or they just don't have much of a presence on the internet. If anyone has any leads, I'd appreciate the help.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! That's been bugging me for years. My Japanese is pretty rough at this point so there was no way I was going to be able to search for it "properly" but since my teacher always drilled us on "kore, sore, are, dore" it was easy to remember their chorus.

My host family would watch that variety show almost nightly, and even though I couldn't understand most of the jokes it was still pretty entertaining. That particular act stood out in my mind well after I went back home.
