Not really sure if it's what you're looking for, but I watched a ton of Takeshi's Castle when I was young and have a huge soft spot for it.

Two of my favorite live action comedy shows.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM

Parody of old JRPG's like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Hilarious action.

That is all good, I am looking forward to finally watching the show myself these days. The most I know about it, is the Game Center CX episode of the Takeshi's castle game. (It is a seperate game to Takeshis challenge.) It was played via gigantic annoying game mat and it got me curious about how the contestants actually fared. The show was very hard to watch while I was growing up due to accessability, I only heard of it from word of mouth from my friends because it only played on one channel in my country at odd times.

 

[driftwood]

The original GTO live action series from 1998.
Iryu Team Medical Dragon

 

[Scotty]

I'll be honest, I really only watch anime. I hear that "Game Center CX" is pretty good tho.

 

[Segadude113]

Zatoichi: The Blind Samurai. It's about 4 seasons long and there's like 20 films.

 

[MajesticSiN]

I mainly watch Gamecenter CX and I recommend it to everyone.

 

[omnipro]

Ryôri no tetsujin (TV Series 1993–2002) ⭐ 8.5 | Game-Show, Reality-TV

1h

I like cooking and saw Iron chef on prime. It reminds me of the food wars anime But live action. It was a top-notch display of culinary arts.

Where can i watch this show without downloading them? An episode is about 1.5 GB.

 

[CardcaptorEd2019]

I need these recommendations. I could list the number of Japanese TV shows that I've seen on one hand(excluding anime ofc).

They are:
Shinya Shokudo
Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light
Hajimete no Otsukai
Game Center CX

 

[Anim8rDude Anim8rDude]

Gaki no Tsukai holds a pretty special place in my heart. Don't know why I started watch these comedians, but damn, their content is (or used to be anyway) pretty unhinged & they understood comedy. The yearly specials were a blast everytime.

Luckily Documental was born along the way & that's some of the GOAT comedy material. It's downright crude but man these comedians put on a performance. There's really nothing else like this. The LOL versions of this are completely butchered.

Game Center CX is great stuff to fall asleep to. But I also really enjoy Tokyo Encounter! Just a couple of anime voice actors (Gintoki's one) playing retro games & being geeky about it.

Oddly enough never tried to attempt any of these live-action shows...

I forgot to add that there are some eps that are missing subs. The majority of the episodes do have subtitles but there is a few that may not and I don't want it to catch you by surprise.

I started watching Anime in 95 and on VHS. At the same time as I was watching Lain, Boogiepop Silent Mobius, Crest of the Stars, and SoulTaker for the first time on TechTv I was waking up early to watch Jidaigeki films on IFC every weekend. Since then I have watched Anime alongside Live action films and tv shows. Also I haven't watched dubs since the 90s, and back then I often had no choice in if it was subs or dubs. If one wanted to watch said media one could not pick and choose as easily back then as whatever was on the tape was what you got.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park/IGWP; the show is better than the anime imho also the G-Boys are better in the show.
G.T.O. The Series, The movies are good too.
House of Ninjas
