"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.

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!"

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 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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
