I suggest we use this translator from now on ( translation.imtranslator.net/translate/default.asp?dir=ja/en ) it may help us a little more.

EDIT: Well then again maybe not....

[arsenette]

Seriously I thought it was as well. And quite honestly I do believe our massive ebombs did help. Just like anything else - if there is a demand for it they will try to bring it back.

Your telling me, I couldn't be happier right now , and i thank everyone for there help in e-mailing M9. I'm in a state of shock yet extremely happy at the same time. I like everyone else thought Kunoichi was gone, i lost hope about a month ago and almost stopped caring. I even stopped watching Kunoichi for a while just b/c i couldn't fathom the fact it was "gone." (Yes Lfrt, stopped watching Kunoichi, shocking right) Now i know it's coming back, the only problem now is that time will creep and i don't think it'll ever get here .

[Gavo]

I always knew this would be announced ( puts rip kunoichi 2001-2007 tombstone under bed)

[TCM]

YES!!! YES!! YES!!!!

I've been hoping for this since the shock that was Kunoichi 7. And some people said it was gone for good.......

[lostinube]

Good news for everyone. Weird how they're not using the name KUNOICHI.

Mods, how are we going to handle this? A new category for the show ala SASUKE 23? Both together?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing.
Like they have canceled Kunoichi and made sometihng new or are asking for women to compete in Sasuke 23

[arsenette]

Could be just wording at this point honestly. Something to put up so they stop getting spammed by us in the USA going "omfg is it cancelled?" LOL

Hmm...this is interesting. I don't want Kunoichi to get buried under all the SASUKE threads, so let's leave them separate. I think we can keep them in this forum. Unless there is an overwhelming amount of new topics, then it can get its own forum.

[arsenette]

At some point it will have to have it's own forum - for one reason only - The G4 nonsense about NDA until they get their heads out of their rear ends and actually SHOW the damn competition. I suspect we won't get Kunoichi in the USA until early next year...

[lostinube]

But didn't G4 start getting really anal about results only after they started sending people to SASUKE? If G4 has no reps and no cameras at KUNOICHI then they shouldn't get upset about spoilers and whatnot.

Honestly I would think G4 is going to get their hands on it. I also think they might not send Luci to Sasuke but send it her to Kunoichi so they can monopolize that broadcast as well. Might also bring back Olivia just for that as well. As of now with no date and Sasuke 23 taking precedence, my thoughts are they will do a small ANC type thing for Kunoichi (which means they pick and don't open it for votes) and say they participated. Remember it's been 2 years since Kunoichi and G4's ramped up their domination of Sasuke. I would be SHOCKED if they didn't continue with Kunoichi.

[penguincatfish]

I wouldn't mind seeing Luci on the course. I wonder if she knows about the news, or if someone's going to tell her. I think everyone would want her to have plenty of training time from now until then instead of her just finding out about it like 5 days before the tournament and then getting flown over there with virtually no prep time. I like the idea of Luci and at least one ANC female (maybe two) going since Luci has experience on the Sasuke course and she's done pretty well despite not completing the first stage. As for Olivia, I'm a fan and I like her and all, but I don't care for her on any of the courses.

I think that since G4's doing this American Ninja Warrior 10 people thing, then I don't think they're doing much more for Kunoichi besides a "submit your videos and we'll pick one (or two) winner(s)" sort of thing. What do you all think of the idea of Luci picking a winner (or two)? Or maybe she picks one winner and G4 picks the other? Or is that all too soon since Luci's never been on Kunoichi?

[arsenette]

Already on it I sent her an email

P.S. Not sure what G4's going to do with it. Considering their last 3 Sasuke entries.. I figure they are going to cut short since we are talking about female entries. I know for sure Luci SHOULD go and I asked her in the past month as an offhand remark if she would go and she would LOVE to if her schedule permitted.

[rcplanes59]

Wow, I figured for sure this was never coming back. Yay for more obstacle courses!!!

Yeah, I'd like to see Luci try the new Kunoichi, considering it's going to be very daunting this year. Although I'd put money that it'd be through TBS and that G4 is not sending anybody - unless they decide to send Olivia in which case that'd be a disaster.
