Is there a way to watch the original Japanese or at least an unedited version of all episodes?
Hi all,
While Im working on the fan game project I still watch episodes from the show that I have got from various sources, however day after day I feel the need to watch the less edited version of all episodes, even if these are not subbed it will be better than watch edited versions, of course that should be the japanese original version as all other releases were edited one way or another, well I have to confess I was downloading german Dsf too as it seemed like less edited but later I discovered that of course there are cuts here and there plus they didnt air all episodes and changed numbers and well I get this feeling like I would like to watch the original uncut stuff for once, I have read elsewhere that there was a cloud place that you have created with some Japanese episodes, but I cant access it, is it still online? else... can you please recommend me any other way to watch the original Japanese episodes? Im surprised there is not a torrent or something available for them but I know that as these were aired in Japan in that Vhs era and never released on DVD (in uncut format at least) well its hard to locate I know. Well any help will be greatly appreciated =).
Edit: In case there are not 133 Japanese availables... can we watch all the episodes jumping from Japanese episodes to German episodes? I mean can we watch it fully only with these 2 versions' episodes availables? as said I was collecting german episodes so I dont know yet which ones Im missing (I have to make a list and see how many there are from the 133)

Here's the Takeshi Cloud, with every original episode that we've ever found (I think):
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/e09b0656d4da%2FTakeshi%20Cloud%2F
I know they didn't use all the episodes in Germany, and yep they were edited down a lot. The UK version actually uses every episode - or at least bits from each one - so if you're looking to see every episode in some form then that's actually the best way. It fills in the gaps we have in the original version anyway

Thanks a lot Dan =), this link worked for me, I dont know why the other wasnt working (maybe was old link to the cloud). I see you have quite a lot of episodes there, yes of course there are some missing still but I think you could get them all one day not too far away, and I really hope it happens.
I know all versions are edited one way or another, I still wonder why they did that... but I get more feeling from the DSF edition, I mean they seem to use the whole episode (except these episodes they never aired) just cutting bits here and there while the Challenge version merged episodes, and didnt show much of the interacton with characters and between games, you know all that makes the show better for me.
Edit I also like the fact that the DSF version tells us the names of the characters, I mean this is something most of versions ignored or just mention Takeshi (obviously) and few more but in the DSF they name like every new /character or enemy that appears the right way

I think Challenge probably edited the show how they did because, honestly, the real draw is people getting belted in the face and dropped into muddy water. Cutting all the comedy/reporter segments gives more space to the hilarious physical agony segments- and space is at a premium in a 24 minute slot. Plus, the show would require a lot more writing for Craig to commentate over the scripted sequences, as opposed to just sending him into the booth to commentate a game and telling him to go wild.

Yes I think you are right in that LTDangerous, surely it was cut because of that but still it makes me think that original works should be kept the way they were made, in the spanish edition (the later one from 2006) they cut showdown in every episode and in the middle they did cut segments where happened whatever they didnt want to air filling space with repeated clips from before, I mean its like censoring somehow, I totally dislike that, they dont air movies in tv or cinemas being cut, they dont air tv series being cut but somehow they all managed to cut this show in a different way like... it could be more interesting that way and in fact it could be for many but when we like something we want to see the real thing the way it was made even if its different to what people from here would like according to statistics.
Additionally I think they should have translated the original script and it could have been easier for them too, I think DSF edition stick more to the original script but I havent verified fully, just it seems like so, they show names of characters and everything like trying to be loyal to the original, and I know it has been edited too, just it seems like less cut.

The thing that irritated me about the DSF episodes are that they cut out chunks of the Show Down each time. The audio doesn't even match up with the pictures for most of it because they mess around with it to shorten it.

At one point there was a campaign for Challenge to show Takeshi completely raw. With subtitles added.

You are right Dan, I agree its annoying, I noticed this too, well spanish version (the 2006 i dont know about the other from 95 or so, maybe its better than 2006) its even worse, in every episode they make silly jokes saying they cant air the Show Down today but it will be in next episode but of course it never happened. So somehow because of that I see the DSF better because it shows more from the Show Down and they didnt cut as many parts as the Challenge edition, or at least I think they didnt cut as much, episodes arent too short and they dont merge episodes I think, it looks as if they are somehow seeing the original script at some parts telling things about characters like names etc maybe Im wrong. So while I know its not perfect... the Dsf feels better than the Challenge.
By the way what are the episodes that changed numbers and those that never aired in DSF? I think I read here somewhere but I cant find the right thread
Edit: Messup, you postedwhile I was typing Im sorry, so what happened with the campaign?

Instead of doing that, they showed MXC (basically an American dub of TC with some more innuendos and that turned it into a team competition format). You can guess how I felt about that

Damn, yes I see, well lets hope another campaign is made sometime soon, I wonder if this could be made in kickstarter or similar site, I mean in the end to buy the original raw from Tokyo Broadcasting (or who holds the rights in Japan) it only requires money (a lot i know but its money in the end), I saw one campaign that was to release a remastered version from certain anime (Bubblegum Crisis) and the guys making this were from certain distribution company but in the end what they did was buying the rights for that and remastering the stuff, and I know we could all be happy with just raw from Takeshi's Castle
Edit: Im downloading the episodes you collected and upploaded to the cloud, thanks again for making this for all of us =), and I started searching in google mainly and I found some episodes that are missing in the cloud, I assume its just ou havent gotten the time to upload but just in case, try googling for videos with:
たけし城
And there are some good results, I will be downloading these too I say it just in case they got removed before I manage to get them
