NJPW WORLD

07-01-2018 3:10am#1Well, we've got a WWE Network thread, and after the recent Wrestle Kingdom 12/New Year Dash, there's now a NJPW World Thread.
Copying the link Neil3030 posted in The Puroresu (Japanese Wrestling) thread.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZsZCBTpKjHzdbCpKZ1No1KAdpmOd2OcgSMfC1-oa7pI/edit#gid=0
And some head's up from the Wrestle Kingdom 12 thread from gerrybbadd (who nicked it from Reddit) on NJPW World.#Sign-up Process:
1. Go to https://njpwworld.com
2. [Select the 'EN' option](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...5/unknown.png) at the top. Once the page is translated, click the 'Sign Up' button.
3. [Enter the Email address](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...3/unknown.png) you want to be associated with your NJPW World account. That address will receive a [confirmation email (split Japanese/English)](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...2/unknown.png) with a confirmation link.
4. Once you click the confirmation link, you are sent to a [profile setup](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...6/unknown.png) page. Click 'Confirm' once you are done, then click it again.
5. You will be taken to the (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...6/unknown.png) section. Select the option you want 'PayPal' or (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...8/unknown.png), then you will be taken to a payment setup page. Follow the steps and enter your info.
6. You are done! You now have access to NJPW's archives and liveshows for the month of January (and beyond!)
#Notes on NJPW World:
1. Pre-paid credit cards are very finicky. I've heard cases where they work but going off personal experience they have never worked for me. A real credit/debit card is recommended.
1. 10-20 minutes before the show (pre-show, in this case), a golden banner will appear on the front page with Japanese and English commentary links for the show.
1. The payment period for this service starts on the first of every month. This means, regardless of when you sign up, you will be charged when you first join and at the turn of the month.
2. The searchbar function is broken and still has not been fully-integrated into English. If you want to find a specific show/match, use the (https://njpwworld.com/series) tab which is sorted by most recent, or use NJPW's extensive 'Tag' search. You can access these pages from the 'Menu' drop-down menu from the top-right.
3. After a show has concluded, the VoD is available within 30 minutes on most occasions.
4. Your subscription for the month of January will get you Wrestle Kingdom 12, New Year's Dash on January 5 (the RAW after Wrestlemania equivalent), the New Japan/CMLL co-produced Fantasticamania shows in mid-January (three shows), and two back-to-back New Beginning PPV shows on January 27/28th.
6. Unlike in the West, companies in Japan do not own their tape libraries. Large chunks of New Japan's library is owned by companies they no longer have deals with, so there are large gaps in the tape library. New Japan has promised to expand the archives in 2018 and every new show gets on World, but as-of-now there is not alot of pre-2012 material on the service. YouTube, Dailymotion, Rutube, and other means will have to suffice for some of it.
7. New Japan works with a lot of other companies. Most times, the work of New Japan stars in promotions such as RPW and RoH gets added to NJPW World though with a region lock most times. They also stream a lot of CMLL shows, and if you want to watch those you can find a proxy to bypass the region lock.

#Schedule through March:
January:
* Wrestle Kingdom 12 (Jan 4)
* New Year's Dash (Jan 5): RAW after Wrestlemania equivalent. Usually one title match (NEVER Trios Title) but it is usually the most story-heavy show of the year and sets the stage for the next several months/year.
* Fantasticamania (Jan 19, 21, 22): Co-produced, mostly non-canon tour between CMLL and NJPW. Light-hearted, more comedy, not for everybody.
* The New Beginnings in Sapporo (Jan 27, 28): Many of the titles will be defended, with the remainder being defended in Osaka (unless a title is defended more than once). Initial post-WK feuds will be settled and the undercards will set up the story for New Beginnings in Osaka. The cards are not out so which of the two is bigger has yet to be determined.
Febuary:
* The New Beginnings in Osaka (Feb 10): The end of The New Beginnings tour, usually headlined by the Intercontinental title, and featuring all the titles not defended on the previous two New Beginnings shows. Osaka is one of the hottest crowds in Japan, and usually gets great cards so this may be the best show of the tour.
* Honor Rising (Feb 23, 24): A two-night collaboration between NJPW and RoH in the mecca of pro wrestling, Korakuen Hall. A few titles from both companies will be defended in interpromotional battles. The shows are mostly inconsequential, mostly, but the style is not a rapid departure from traditional NJPW the way that the Fantasticamania shows are so these are usually decent spectacles.
March:
* 46th Anniversary Show (Mar 6): Lower-level title defenses (NEVER, Tag, Jr Tag, Trios) with a special main event. Historically, the Heavyweight Champion and Junior Heavyweight champion collide in the main event. Last year, it was Kazuchika Okada vs Tiger Mask W (Kota Ibushi) in a non-title match. Who knows what it will be this year.
* New Japan Cup (Mar 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21): New Japan's first big tournament of the year. 16 heavyweights in a single elimination tournament to determine who takes on a singles champion of their choice at Sakura Genesis, NJPW's first A-level show after Wrestle Kingdom. Last year the first two nights split the first round, at four matches a night followed by one match headlining the next four houseshows (released on VoD), with the Semi-Finals and Final shows containing the last three matches which are broadcast live. There are 9 shows this year rather than 8, so the format may be different.
* Strong Style Evolved (Mar 25): NJPW coming back to America for another show. NJPW has made it a large goal of theirs to expand into the West, so this show may be surprisingly loaded.7

They really do need a proper dedicated app. Or at least a proper English language site because the Google translate doesn't cut it.
The chromecast app thing always crashes on me so I can't skip forward or back

As I said the other day on this thread, you don't need to use Google translate on NJPW World. You can use it in Japanese or English, and can easily switch between the two.0 -
Nothing "easily" about using New Japan world. The login page is unacceptable and it's a chore using the site.
Sure you can work out what goes where but they need a dedicated English app, not just a half-translated website, to actually appeal to anyone outside the hardcore. The search function is dodgy as well. I'm glad you find the whole thing acceptable though. It puts me off0 -
