Hey all, I wanted to say thank you to each and every member of this community. Three years ago I was home for holiday break and my Mom, great watcher of random TV shows, found something called American Ninja Warrior. We watched the season completely enthralled, but then it ended. I did some quick googling and discovered that the same competitors had run in the Japanese version. We saw their runs and instantly resolved to track down the entire Japanese run, made possible by the fine folks over at G4. Fast forward to this summer. Thanks to this community, my family and I are able to watch ANW, Team Ninja Warrior, Sasuke, Ninja Warrior UK, Ninja Warrior Sverige (Sweden), and Ninja Warrior Danmark all in the space of a few weeks. My current job bounces me all around the country and I'm grateful for the chance to sit down with my family and watch athletes do incredible things (and watch amateurs fall hilariously into the water). I'm now well aware of all the issues that so many have with ANW in comparison to the Sasuke original, and want to thank many patient folks for repeatedly laying out those grievances. But I also wanted to take a moment to recognize the work that has gone into this community. You are all awesome, and I hope that you will continue to spread this sport far and wide. P.S. Mods, feel free to move this wherever appropriate.

I know it's been the mission of this community to peacefully coexist and share our passion of the shows we love with everyone. I'm thrilled to know more and more people are exposed to the show and want to share in the community. Arguments aside it is a small community that is as vocal and passionate and it means a lot to all of us that something of value is gained by staying with us. I know as a long-time member it's awesome when new people stay and have fun with the regulars. I hope it continues for more years to come! ♥
