So Germany's version is a bastardized version of the UK's version, which is a (heavily) bastardized version of the American version, which is a heavily bastardized version of the Japanese version. Got it. Pretty much, this looks better constructed as they have more room but apart from that you're spot on (And also UK was copied from Sweden/Turkey first xD)

All of which copied from a spinoff The qualifying course of the spin off. No I was saying how they were copied (NW Germany) from a copy (NW:UK) of a copy (NW Sweden/NW Turkey) of a Copy (American Ninja Warrior) of a Spinoff (Sasuke, spun-off from Kinniku Banzuke as we all know ). But yeah now that I break it down ANW is more a spinoff of a spinoff since Seasons 1-3 were a Sasuke Trial, so yeah, NW Germany is a Copy of a Copy of a Copy of a Spinoff of a Spinoff

Still though the idea is that they aren't copying Vegas.. they are copying the Regionals. That alone has always bothered me.

LOL

LOL Kunoichi is was it's own show that only had women mimicking the 100 against a full sized 4-stage course. Still a spin off though just not a spin off of a qualifier like the majority of the other shows around the world are.

As the episode is wrapping up (ends in about 5 minutes), Ninja Warrior holds the #1 trending topic in Germany for the entire length of the show. Hopefully this means it had a good start

Apart from the salmon ladder being translated/called a "heaven's ladder" it looked quite stable...

I just finished watching it, so, if anyone feels like reading this, I'm giving you a summary: The rules- 4 qualifying courses (each with 60 contestants) consisting of two stages, and one final show. The final is on July 30th. - Two stages, qualifying and a final run per course (i.e. basically like the city qualifier and city final in ANW), with two differences: 1) they're run on the same day (or maybe just shown on the same TV episode...). 2) in the final run, you don't run the qualifying run again, i.e. you start after the warped wall. - Everyone who finishes the qualifying run is in the final. If less than 20 finish, it's also the fastest the furthest. Important difference: it makes a difference how far you got within the obstacle (which, I believe, is a good idea). - Of the 20 finalists, exactly 7 make it to the final show (i.e. like ANW's city final top 15). If more than 7 finish, the 7 fastest move on, if less than 7 finish, it's again the fastest the furthest. The obstaclesQualifying run - 1.Quintuple steps - 2. Something like the log grip- 3.Log runner over one log - 4. On a swing into a cargo net, like the one in Team Ninja Warrior - 5. Swinging through rings- 6.Warped wall (only called "The Wall" - I like it) Final run - 1. Pipe slider with a jump into two ropes- 2.Spin bridge (called "chaos balls") - 3.Salmon ladder (called "sky ladder" - I like it as well) - 4.A long unstable bridge (unfortunately just one, which makes it easier) - 5.Spider climb (if the show returns for a season 2 I'd love to see the invisible ladder here) Contestans, a couple observations, and resultsAt first, the level seemed quite low and I'm sure that most would fail on ANW. One example: on the quintuple steps, only three out of 60 used the "only-one-foot-per-step"- technique (I don't know how else to explain it), everyone else jumped with both feet on it and held on (like many are doing on ANW 8's floating steps). In general, since the obstacles are copied, you could see that the ANW guys have more experience and hence the better techniques. But it got better over time and there were some really good competitors after all, especially a group of (the abovementioned) three friends who do parcours and bouldering. The commentator called them the "German wolfpack" and I believe they'd also do well on ANW, they were generally 30-40 seconds faster than the next best guys. Imagine someone finishing in roughly 2:30 mins. a very easy city final course on ANW. The feel-good story was an only 18-year old hippie-like guy who said that he was there "just for fun". Results: Of the 20 best qualifiers, 19 were men and one a woman (the 21st also being a woman), 18 of them made it up the wall. 8 finished the final run. Most failed the dismount from the unstable bridge because they couldn't generate enough swinging momentum. Bottom line: it's obviously not at ANW/Sasuke level yet, but give the show a break. It was episode 1 of season 1. Unfortunately, like in ANW, there was a lot of editing and cutting, and in the final run the cutting was basically a spoiler, as you could tell who'd finish and who wouldn't. Overall, I enjoyed watching and I'm glad this show has reached Germany, but of course I'm even more looking forward to today's ANW LA finals - at this early stage there's no comparison to ANW/Sasuke

Congratulations to Oliver Edelmann who was the only person to complete the first stage in the finals and thus was the Last Man Standing!

Stage 2 ob1 looks like the Downhill Pipe Drop (ANW6 Miami) with a 2nd rope, "like a log grip" thing is ANW5 Miami's Utility Pole Slider

As someone who cant read german, was there some sort of free trial option on that Tvnow streaming website? I'm inter in watching but I'm not willing to shell out money to a foreign streaming service.
