Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Steineded How sad is this?

Pluskylang Great Film overall

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

AlwayzLookingForIt I want to be on this show. That's how much I love it. I'm willing to risk humiliation. Sure I lived in Japan for a little while, but not in Tokyo and not to do this. The excitement and fun jumps through the screen. And I like the reality show portion of the show. It helps you decide who you should root for; who are the good guys and the bad. And I love the host of the game show, Rome, and the ever goofy Judge Bob. I wish they'd make it a fall show, but I guess I'll have to wait until next summer. Most summer shows aren't worth looking forward to, but this is one of the exceptions. Until then I'll leave you with "hi majide!".

bollocks59 I loved "I survived a Japanese game show" it was a breath of fresh air to see this on my TV set every week. I really hope there is a season two as this show can only get better! Great job ABC!Unlike other reality show "I survived a Japanese game show" had an intelligent irony which in my opinion upgraded the dull universe of reality TV. It was a comedy reality show and I loved westerners being fish out of water. Its the kind of show one watches to forget about the boring dull day you just had and the game show rounds are real talk about moments. Its a cult classic on a massive scale...Brilliant stuff!

goleafs84 Normally, I'm not a fan of reality TV shows, but this one I found it fun to watch.A group of contestants, who have no idea what and where they're going, find themselves headed off to Tokyo, Japan to participate in one of those crazy Japanese game shows and this competition has a flavor of Survivor, or Last Comic Standing, where the contestants compete in teams, doing crazy challenges, Japanese style, where the winning team is rewarded, but the losing team goes through a "punishment" type of thing, once again Japanese style. It can vary, like being rickshaw operators in the streets of Tokyo for example, then the losing team is back in the studio and two will compete head to head in an elimination match, where one will go home. In the end, only one will remain and can say they survived a Japanese game show.Before I've watched the first episode, I've seen one of these game shows before, where the things they have the contestants do can boarder on insanity,some even dangerous, but can have you laughing to no end. This is a game show as I mentioned is silly, some can even say moronic. This is a show that is not for everyone. I wouldn't say Emmy material, but if you want to have fun, laugh and have a good time, this is a show to watch.

stevenmaier This could've been a really fantastic show, giving us Americans a taste of those crazy Japanese game shows. This show is actually that, only chewed up, spit out, stomped on the floor, then put on a plate for us to enjoy.In the whole one hour time slot, we only see 1.5 games. The half of a game is actually 2 contestants competing to stay on the show. There's way too much talking, and not enough of the games.I set my TiVo to record this, and fast forwarding through the talking and commercials, I watched the whole hour episode in less than 20 minutes. Needless to say, this show is off my 'record' list with three thumbs down. I wish networks would stop wasting our time with this trash and give us something fresh and new (ie. NOT A REALITY SHOW).Skip this show at all cost. I give this show 1 finger out of 10. You can guess which finger that is.
