Samurai Pizza Cats

Joy of joys, one of my favorite anime’s of all time, The Samurai Pizza Cats has a box set coming out in July of this year. It will retail for $79.99 and it will have all 52 episodes (dubbed) on 8 DVD‘s. Discotek Media‘s Facebook Page posted the release a few day’s ago. This was a short lived series shown here in the US. It’s time slot was when most kids where headed to school, so hardly anyone saw it. This was at a time when Anime was still gaining some steam here in the US, and for some of us at the the time that were already fans, we were already enjoying such shows as the above aforementioned, Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and a few others. (I s always saw the Dragon Balls in it’s original Japanese version with Subtitles, and I never warmed to the dubbed versions.) All of these were shown like at 5 am, and we all had to set our VCR‘s to those time slots, and they never were on for very long. I do like the fact that Cartoon Network had the Anime Block at midnight that showed Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, and such, and even Sci-Fi was showing some classic anime films, such as Appleseed, Akira, etc.

Anyway, I am looking forward to this box set release, and will be purchasing it as soon as I can. I also did a post about this show not too long ago. (see Link below. )

The Pizza Cats are Samurai,
and I’d like to note:
their antics take your breath away
like furr balls in your throat
We kittens are a special breed
we never call retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down
we land upon our feet.
So hail to thee, oh Pizza Cats.
Please ring your little bell.
Although you may be pen and ink
we know you’ll fight like…
Pizza Cats!

What is Samurai Pizza Cats you may ask, it was a 90’s cartoon from Japan that was show in the wee early hours of the AM during school days, so that no one would know it’s epic-ness. It was very funny, and witty, and well drawn as well. It is one of my favorite Anime’s out there, sadly it was short lived. Read more from it’s Wikipedia page . The oath above was recited right before the end credits. I should hunt down a dvd set for this, if it is available. Anyhow, i’ll just have to turn to the you tubes. Oh yeah, the end theme came up on my Zune, whilst I was doing random chores, hence why I thought i’d share this with you all.

Here’s the Intro. Listen to it carefully, the lyrics are funny.
