I love Sasuke Ninja Warrior. The US Ninja Warrior has become a competition for those who train for it almost full-time. Sasuke is still rolling with nearly all of the familiar obstacles, still a grueling course over the stages. No flashiness, no medical condition of the week, no tear-jerking sad background story. Even down to the murky water in the pools. The classic tackle obstacle that wears out the legs before the warped wall can still take out runners. No buzzer, no advancement, unlike Ninja Warrior where you don't need to hit the buzzer to advance.
