American Ninja Warrior 4- Official Application/announcement - upload.g4tv.com/anw-casting/upload.aspx
- Deadlines for submission are on the G4 application.
- Applications are restricted to US citizens, age 21 and over. Applicants will be told which city they should be corresponding to once application is accepted.
- Format - 6 Regional tryouts being held in 3 cities:
LOS ANGELES, CA (Northwest and Southwest Region) DALLAS, TX (Midwest and South-Central Region) MIAMI, FL (Northeast and Southeast Region)
- Top 100 regional finalists will attempt to conquer a TBS co-built four stage course in Las Vegas, Nevada and earn the title of American Ninja Warrior and a $500,000 cash prize.
- Previous ANW3 competitors have been automatically invited to ANW4's prelims only (no byes to final, etc). All others must send a video application to be considered.
- Prelims split into 3 segments.
Each Regional (approx. 125 people) will compete on one day. Next day next Regional (approx. 125 people) will compete. Top prize for winning Regional is $2500. Regional finals will have the 2 Regions top competitors going head to head. Winner of Regional Finals will win $5000.
- Top 90 regional finalists and 10 Wildcards (total of 100 American competitors) will attempt to conquer all four stages built in Las Vegas, Nevada and earn the coveted title of American Ninja Warrior and a $500,000 cash prize.
Date of Final: April 21-22, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada
- Airdates starting in G4 will be May, 2012
- Commentators for ANW4 are Matt Iseman and Jonny Mosley
Corroborated speculation: (News posted on Ninja Warrior Facebook, ANWCasting twitter, emails, etc but no actual news article posted). - All 100 regional finalists will have their travel expenses paid for by the ANW4 production staff to compete in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- There will be 10 wildcard spots to finish out the 100 going to Vegas.
- All stages (prelims - final in Vegas) are open to public (spectators) like the previous 3 years. Finals are also open but we are still awaiting details on the how the finals will be handled.
Added blog: ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2012/02/anw4-details-as-i-know-it.html Hopefully having the exact information above.

Mind-west applications have been extended to March 5th. I am assuming they didn't get a lot of entries due to G4's major screw up on putting the actual application on the site really late. Plus it's the mid-west, we have like 10 people.

*Finds This pic on google* Is that the spot (assuming this isn't an outdated picture and that's another hotel or casino now)

There are two empty lots next to Mandalay Bay one across from it and one next door. Not sure which one yet I will have to look for webcams in the area.

Ah, well finding that pic wasn't bad for some info, and I hope there are webcams, that'd be kinda awesome to be able to see how the course is set up early.

Las Vegas finals course being set up next to Mandalay Bay Hotel. I flew through Vegas yesterday coming back from vacation and I didn't even see it. Also, I kinda thought they would be promoting it more, such as maybe a t-shirt but there was nothing.

1: It's probably still early in setup 2: That's assuming you can see it from a plane, and that the hotel wasn't in the way and it was on the other side.

Latest TBS article: www.tbs.co.jp/hot-jyouhou/201204181536.htmlNothing new, just reiterating things that people who are following stateside (and here) already know. Note: If you notice other articles about ANW in Japanese pop up over the next few days, look at the wording of the article (is it similar to this one?), the source (is it this article?) and where the article is (is it on an entertainment site? a news site?). If the answer is yes to any of these, it's probably not worth mentioning. It doesn't mean a groundswell of interest in ANW in Japan. It just means that TBS bothered to put out a press release about it.

Latest TBS article. Talks about the ANW/DC tie-in. Which I, a comic book fan, didn't know existed so good job G4. www.tbs.co.jp/hot-jyouhou/201205161626.htmlText in spoiler box below. TBSの大型スポーツバラエティ番組『SASUKE』のアメリカ版 『Ninja Warrior』(ニンジャ・ウォリアー)が、ついにアメコミ(アメリカン・コミック)になった! アメコミ化を手掛けたのは、『スーパーマン』や『バットマン』など、世界的に有名なキャラクター作品を世に送り出した、アメコミ最大の出版社の一つDC(ディーシー)コミック社を抱えるDCエンタテインメント社。今週末にアメリカでの最新シリーズの初回放送を控え、『SASUKE』アメリカ版の人気がさらに拡大している。
『SASUKE』米版は、最新シリーズ『American Ninja Warrior(アメリカン・ニンジャ・ウォリアー)シーズン4』(以降:『ANW4』)が、今月20日の初回放送を皮切りに、ロンドン五輪直前の7月23日まで(いずれも米現地時間)、全米ケーブル放送局G4(ジー・フォー)と地上波放送局NBCで、史上初めて、同時期に2つのネットワークでG帯シリーズ放送される予定。シリーズ初回放送の5月20日(日)は、午後9時からのG帯2時間特番で西部州ブロック予選の模様をG4で、翌5月21日(月)は、午後9時からのG帯2時間特番で西部州ブロック決勝の模様を地上波NBCで放送予定。2つの全米ネットワークをまたぐ2夜連続のG帯2時間特番でのキックオフとなる。
今回のアメコミ化は、このシリーズ放送を盛り上げるためのマーケティング・キャンペーンの一環として、米G4とDCエンタテインメントのコラボにより実現したもの。初回放送までの4週間、毎週、新作が発表される。すでに3作が発表されているが、バットマンやワンダーウーマンなど日本でもおなじみの有名キャラクターたちも登場している。ネット掲載もされているので、日本からでも観ることができる。日本発のテレビ番組が、アメリカの文化とも言えるアメリカン・コミックに登場すること自体滅多にないが、バットマンなど人気作品の主役たちが脇役を固めるのは極めて稀で、その点でも『SASUKE』のアメリカでの人気を裏付けていると言える。
一方、アメリカの有名ウェブサイト"BuzzFeed"(バズフィード)も、『SASUKE』米版ANW4を2度にわたって取り上げ、優秀な成績を収めそうなキャラクターとプロスポーツ選手それぞれのトップ10ランキングを発表した。いずれも日本でも有名な世界的キャラクターやアスリートたちがランクインしており、選出理由も記載されている。架空のランキングだが、これらとの比較やアメコミ化は、『SASUKE』のアメリカでの認知度と人気を裏付けていると言える。
今夏、史上空前の規模で展開する『SASUKE』アメリカ版最新シリーズ『ANW4』が更なる旋風を巻き起こすか注目される!
【TBS海外番販について】 TBSは1960年代以降50年あまりにわたり海外番販に積極的に取り組んでおり、特に「フォーマット番販」の分野では世界的にも草分け的存在。 これまでに米Bellon Entertainment社と共同で世界150ヶ国以上で200種類近く、数千話に及ぶ「フォーマット番販」によるTBS番組の各国版制作を実現しており、各国で国民的人気を博した(博している)番組も多数。また、ドラマやアニメなど全ジャンルの番組や映画も販売しており、累計販売実績は、世界5大陸150ヶ国以上、数百タイトル、数万話に及び、テレビ、映画共に「コンテンツ・プロバイダー」としても世界におけるプレゼンスを増している。 関連リンク
