Looked through this forum today, and realized the question hasn't been asked.
Which format did you prefer the Kunoichi 1-7 format or the Kunoichi 8 format. Most people are aware I've been very hard on on Kunoichi 8 and remain to be. But everyone is right, it wasn't that much of a Kunoichi. I'm not sure who the producers were but Kunoichi 8 was just unstacked compared to Kunoichi 1-7, and those producers did a less than stellar job.
The Second Stage was the only stage that was really difficult, and the quality of competitors was just unmatched from years past. To many joke competitors and not enough quality names. After Stage 1, the only people I could even name were Asami Nagano, Rie Komiya, and SJU, not much after that, and you can't really consider Asami or SJU much of a star.
1-7 had a good format in comaprison to Sasuke, each stage was organized very well, lots of big names, and numbers were given out very well.
All-and-All I still stand by the problems Kunoichi 8 has, and honestly despite Komiya's Win, I will never consider it a Kunoichi. The fact people could pass stage 1 and fail the stones in stage 2, that's just pitiful.....
Thoughts?

It's a runaway. 1-7, vs. format just isn't Sasuke-like...more Wipeout-like.

Absolutely 1-7. I would have loved to have seen the great competitors from those tournaments go after that tournament 7 course again.
That first stage of tournament 8 (competing against each other) was an absolute abomination.

IMO the format was OK, the only stage I didn't really like was Stage 3 (and Stage 4 but there's enough fail in that where we don't even need a discussion on it). It could be improved, it was destined to fail in your eyes when you saw it wasn't the traditional format we all are familiar with, when really the only thing that changed is how many people tried the first stage. I gave it more of a "unbiased" look at it (not saying you didn't possibly but considering your opinion on it since the commercial you didn't really give a a chance more than "I'll watch it, doesn't mean I'll like it") and it wasn't horrible, wasn't great, I'll take the original format back anyday, I'd just improve on the new one if 1. K9 is confirmed and 2. we know the format is the new one. Soild 6/10 I would give the tournament. Plus with the way it was suddenly announced I would imagine they wanted more familiar people, but either bridges were burned or they couldn't adjust scheduling. Plus it's not like everyone were joke people, they had the serious/joke entertainers, the athletes, and more/less "common" people like Sasuke/Kunoichi always had.

Kunoichi 8 was quite simply terrible. I caught the last half live, so I watched the full tournament on G4 tonight.
Every round was terrible.
In Stage 1, some of the best competitors got knocked out simply because they were in a highly competitive heat. Others failed miserably, but were able to stumble (quite literally) into Stage 2.
In Stage 2, the skill level of the competitors was miserable. Countless people failed previous Stage 1 obstacles (SJU would have been ridiculed to no end had this been Kunoichi 1-5.)
Stage 3- a disaster
Final Stage- another disaster. They could have prevented the course-out by adding another board directly above the first one. Also, once Rie went and struggled, the other two knew exactly what to do. Unlike every other Final Stage in the past, this one was mostly about memorizing the correct path and technique. There should be no brain work in the Final Stage, it needs to be straight path directly up.

1-7 since it's supposed to be the female version of Sasuke 1/100.
I don't think I would have hated it so much if it wasn't because it stole the name of Kunoichi. I think if there was a competition created just to goof around (like Wipeout) with another name i would have liked it better since it felt like a party game rather than a hard competition.

If it wasn't a Sasuke-related thing, the spinner thingie and the "Third Stage" wouldn't have been such a fail. Also, the final stage... In my opinion, in a Sasuke related show no one should ever, ever be able to clear the Final Stage with 20+ seconds to spare. |

1-7 by far, Particularly 3-7 for having a straight forward stage 1, having a real stage 3 and not having an untimed final stage.
I would have liked Kunoichi 8 if they had done just one thing different... Call it something else!
I mean it was a good tournament if it wasn't called Kunoichi, because that makes you expect it to be like the other 7. I can't accept it being a Kunoichi with a race, second chance, 3:30 stage 2 (Even when Stage 3 was timed for one tournament (3).. It wasn't 3 and a half minutes..), The 22 trials thing as a stage 3 and a 1 minute easy final, as a Kunoichi..
