The latest Japanese TV show that I expect to kick major buttock over here, at least in cult circles, looks like American Gladiator![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
on acid: Takeshi's Castle looks something like Mario Brothers played in real life. Here's a machine translated page with still captures.

Hey guys. Do you know any sites where I can download episodes of Takeshi's Castle from?

Nope, but you might try poking around over at J-List, if anyone's selling compilation DVDs over in Japan they could probably ship 'em to you in the U.S.

or just watch TNN's overdubbed Most Extreme Elimination Challenge and turn the sound down...but then again, with sound is painfully hilarious. Fav quote from this weekend, "I have blood in my stool"
WeirdAss mention has created a HUGE google attack from new fans

Hey, this looks familiar! Back when I lived in Reno there was a little hole-in-the-wall sushi bar that ran videos of bizarre Japanese television shows. This one featured prominently. I had no idea it was all one show back then, but many of those photos look familiar. Well, now I know what that was all about...
