"once somebody finds the script, we can start the show" Hilarious reference to the fact that Saban was not sent any of the scripts by accident

I remember this show! My big brother was in the navy, and whenever he was on leave, he'd come home and show me and our sister books, games, and shows he'd seen on the boat. We watched this the same day we watched Japanese Spider-man. He told us that pizza cats is what happens when you let studios drink at Christmas parties. Good times.

my favorite childhood tv show bar none! you're voice acting was a huge part of that, I thank you 🙏

Sing along!!!

All i dream of seeing any more for anime to pick back up: "ladies, gentlemen, and new genders we don't know, it's been over 20 years... and now... WE CAN START THE SHOW.... WHAT? we still haven't found the script!" "It's ok announcer! We'll take it from here!" "Whenever danger is near," "don't you fear," "cause at last after 20 years..." "THE PIZZA CATS ARE HERE!"

10/10

Only realized after watching this as an adult, that Big Cheese was in fact a fox, not a rat.

0:26 She's so cute 😭💖

Lol after all these long years I notice that the first notes of the theme are a reference to chinese stereotype music and not japanese lmao.

This show was also quite popular here in Germany…I absolutely loved it. The German dub was just as good as the English one, with so much improvisation, tons of innuendo and intelligent & satirical stuff thrown in.

I really liked this show

That fan club oath still gets me.

I still don't understand why they turned Ko'on into a rat in the dub, even with the script lost and everything. He still looks overwhelmingly like a fox and nothing like a rat.

Thanks for voicing my favorite villain the BIG Cheese

One of the most iconic characters that even to this day I still bring up! I even try to do my own voice for Big Cheese, thank you Michael! <3

Kind sir, Would you happen to know why they changed your character from a fox in the Japanese version to a rat in the North American version?

Hahahahaha!😂

Oh god! 🤣 you're doing great Michael!

Big Cheese was a delight! I hope you had as much fun voicing him as it was for us to listen to him! You and the writers killed it with this show!

❤❤

I only ever got to see this show once before my horrified parents banned it. The theme just stuck in my mind forever.

90's anime was peak. we will never get fun dubs and awesome fun anime like this again.

If Pokemon ever had a crossover with this, Meowth of Team Rocket would be friends with the pizza cars

I always assumed this was written after a night of B-52s. That poke at the ninja turtles too!. Such an amazing theme.

"Read all the credits so you know who did the work!" That still makes me laugh decades later.

I loved this cartoon so much as a kid and you clearly really went for it with this performance so thank you for making my childhood a bit better than it might have been.

Man, over here in the Netherlands this show was the voice of my childhood, even just hearing the intro brings me back some nostalgia

I didn't grow up with this show, but I saw a bunch of the episodes on KZbin about ten-ish years ago in my first year of college and became obsessed ❤ Thank you for uploading this! Also it's awesome to see you're into drag! I guess it makes sense! I realized I was a trans woman a couple of years ago but when I first discovered Samurai Pizza Cats I was still so in denial/oblivious that I didn't connect the dots that Big Cheese was supposed to sound like a drag queen. Here's to expressing yourself and having fun!

I vow to cast you as the Big Cheese and/or the Big Cheese's dad if I ever get the funding for a remake.

This show is a CORE MEMORY! Thanks for your awesome voice work here.

I'm watching this with my children. They love dads old shows 😅😂

to this day the opening theme is my ringtone. This was one of the first non-Looney Tunes cartoons I was exposed to that was more about cramming in jokes than cramming in toy sales and I hold it and you all responsible for my first steps into developing my sense of humor. Thank you and everyone else who was involved with this gem!

I recall watching this in 1996. Good shit.

Since last month this song has been stuck in my head. That's how you make a perfect intro theme

Ah yes, good ol' Saban Entertainment/International, the people who change entire soundtracks for their anime dubs.

With a real last name like Lipschitz, it has to smell good!

2:30 “No animal was hurt or mistreated during the making of the cartoon”

Does anyone have a Charleston, South Carolina TV-Guide from the late 1990’s (1997) that mentions “Samurai Pizza Cats”? I want to see proof that they aired in my state (if they did or so). It used to came on WTAT Fox 24 from 1996 to 1997.

I love Sloan Bella so glad this video appeared on my YT feed 🙏🏾💃🏾💯😇❤️

😂🎉❤

Omg...I love Sloan ❤❤👍 Subbed!

I’m downright amazed the English dub aired first in the UK and Canada before it ever aired in America

San Diego ... In the late 90s it was on for a year then this show like disappeared.... I loved this show.

Do you remember the dialogue at the end of the two-parter where the Cats get the Supreme Catatonic robot? The bit about how it came from "a civilization so advanced, it blew itself out of existence"...? _I_ remember that line. It was 1998, and I was twelve. My brain began to spin and whir... "Civilizations don't just... blow themselves away, because of how advanced their tech is!" I thought. "Wait -- I wonder what a civilization like that would... be like?" I started exploring, and creating a character -- and a race -- around that... lore happened, although I didn't know that word yet. It wouldn't be till sometime in high school, somewhere between 2001 and 2003, when I'd discover that there were others who, like me, were deeply interested in races and even whole universes of animal people... and it wasn't until after I'd left college that I really got involved in the Furry Fandom. I'm 37 now, I'll be 38 this June. I'm disabled -- always have been -- but I'm also an artist, a computer nerd, and I swear someday I'll be a writer if I can just get past Chapter Four! and I owe quite a lot of who I am to that dialogue in that scene and what came out of it. My life kind of blew up and fell apart all at once when my mother got very ill in mid-to-late 2007. I eventually had to move out, we couldn't deal with each other any more. I'm neither proud nor ashamed to admit -- after all, such things just kind of are in some folks' lives -- there's a lot of damage there. I have a few friends, furries as well, all of them -- we kind of support each other through our own various issues. I never knew your name, even though I have the DVD box set. I'm going to do my best to remember it -- forgive me, please, if I forget, I have ADD memory issues, amongst many others. I'd love to meet you someday, shake your hand, show you some of the art and writing I've done -- art and writing that happened because of the show you were a part of. Thank you, sir.

You were Big Cheese?! That's awesome!!

Aww bless them ❤❤

😱 🤣

She's still beautiful.

I was in grade 1 when this show was released in North America. Just as messed up as I remember hahahahaha

Entertaining Tribute!
