Bananaman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Trying to remember the name of a totally bizarre Japanese show that I caught a couple of times on UBC last year (possibly on the eXcite channel). It was on in the evening and had kids and adults giving some of the most surreal performances I've ever seen. Anyone else watched it and know the name or have a copy of the True schedule to hand to check it out for me? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave111223 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I prefer the US dubbed version "MXC" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXC The dubbing is fully as hel_l. I don't find the commentary on the UK version of Takeshi's Castle very funny at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find the commentary on the UK version of Takeshi's Castle very funny at all. Agree. The dubbings make up 80% of the entertainment. I once sat through a SPIKE TV marathon of 8 of the shows in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Takeshi's Castle? No, it's not Takeshi's Castle. It's a show that has weird acts such as people appearing to lose limbs or objects appear to move unassisted or fly but are actually being moved by people in tight suits that are the same colour as the background they are set against. I've found clips of it on youtube but still have no clue to what it's called.

Bananaman Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Japanese TV talent show Mascarade. Masses of it on youtube and really funny... That's the one Dana. Cheers mate. Dunno if it's still showing on UBC 'cause I'm not in LOS right now. Found the official website in case anyone wants to check out more of it. It is genuinely hilarious, often amazing and invariably entirely surreal. http://www.ntv.co.jp/kasoh/past_movie/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 This is probably one of the best shows on Japanese TV. The little skits are very original and visual so it translates well so everyone can enjoy. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
