Heres what is posted in the G4 forums! FINALLY!!
Many of you have emailed us about new episodes of Ninja Warrior, and we wanted to respond to all of our loyal fans! As you know, Ninja Warrior is a Japanese show called Sasuke that G4 airs for American fans in the U.S. We are very excited to report that brand new episodes of Ninja Warrior are on their way and will soon be featured on our network.
The competition that took place in the Fall - Sasuke 23 – will air on G4 on April 10. This will include five, all-new, half-hour competition episodes, plus a behind-the-scenes look at the show. The latest competition - Sasuke 24 – will air on April 17, with six, all-new, half hour competition episodes.
So, Ninja Warrior fans, hang tight. New episodes, new challenges, and the quest to become the newest Ninja Warrior are on the way.

Because that's when the TV seasons change in Japan?

Sasuke 25 airing in Japan before 23 and 24 air in the U.S. is no longer a problem since we know that 23 and 24 are actually scheduled to air in the U.S.
This is cause for celebration instead of despair. Yay!

I more so disagree with showing these in the same month, especially a week apart. They could've gotten away with this easily with the earlier tournaments because they didn't promote them as much as they are now. At least they're finally going to show them.

I don't either, and here's why.
23..... in April.
Give me your gun and walk away.

I figured it'd be something like this. Still though, to be away that much longer.....oh well.
Still will be interesting to see how they show things towards the end.

Wow.. someone in G4 got fired.. LOL That's ridiculous they waited this long. Personally.. it looks like they had no intention of showing 23 and decided "oh crap let's do this now" and shoved everything into April (ala 18 and 19). They will show most likely AFTER Sasuke 25 if they do plan to show it in Japan in March (which is our guess atm).

6 hours of 24 will get squeezed into 3 for G4. I wondering what or who will get cut out. I'm thinking they might fast forward most of stage 2 and 3 and possibly the final stage since they'll probably just end it with Yuuji's run.

I'm curious how they are going to cut 23. Will they add the 10 back in there again? or just show the 3 that got far and FF the other 7? Or.. run episodes 7&8 of ANW again before or after Sasuke 23's showing? I know given the long running time of both 23 and ESPECIALLY 24 there will be a lot cut from them. Out of all the runs though the only thing I'm really looking forward to is their behind the scenes specials. That is about the only thing I watch G4 broadcast for.

I think they'll do what they did on 23 of showing the 3 that got far. At least for the showing of ANW, it showed how they truly did and how close one of them got to completing stage 1, no thanks to the Jumping Spider.

I think for 24 they might actually show all runs of the finalists, I mean I don't think G4 has cut any final stage runs before.

Not sure if anyone has sat down and done the calculations for 24... I know it's been done for 23 (I don't remember 23's length).

Even for Sasuke 3, they showed all of the 5 Final Stage runs, so I'm expecting them to show all of them. However, I am expected a lot of fast-forwards for all of the other stages (especially 2 and 3) in these 2 tournaments.
