Editorial Reviews

An action comedy of the Super Deformed variety (think big heads on little bodies), Samurai Pizza Cats is the story of a land that looks a lot like old time Japan (only with lots of mechanical contraptions and the like) peopled by humanoid animals (some of them are just plain strange). This already-strange land is protected by a band of samurai cats who operate under the guise of a pizza house (that happens to have a giant revolver on the roof). The Pizza Cats (Speedy, Polly & Guido) along with other helpful allies fight to thwart the nefarious plans of the Big Cheese. Set contains episodes 1-26.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHERE IS BOX SET TWO?, September 28, 2011

By

This review is from: Samurai Pizza Cats Boxset 1 (3 DVD) (DVD)

This show is the greatest thing to happen to anime- self parody. You see, when this show was brought to America, the Japanese script:
1. Had too many Japanese pop-culture references for American audiences to really grasp,
and
2. Didn't actually come with the Japanese script,
so they just made up their own using how they interpreted the plot and the scenery. This is illustrated through characters reading Hirigana (referred to as "squiggles") and with the constant breaking of the fourth wall. Anime is typically an overdone and overrated genre, so it needs to be made fun of now and then. I remember waking up at like 5 in the morning with my older brothers to watch this show, and when this box set came out in 2007 on here, I couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately, F-22 studios (the supposed producer of this set) is a practically non-existent search on google, so I'm assuming that this set was produced from someone's basement. I really hope whoever the anonymous person who made it hasn't passed away, as I would instantly pay 40ish dollars for the second half of the series. These DVDs are top-notch quality (for a show that doesn't really exist past VHS recordings and low-quality MOV files), so I really really really want to complete my collection. It's been over four years since this was made, so please, if you are F-22, or if you have knowledge and dedication on how to make a DVD set, reprinting this set and making a second box would definitely be worth your time and effort. Anyways, love this product.

Wow this show brings back some memories. Anyway, the overall quality of the boxset is good and is a worthy edition if you like the series, or even remember it. Worth the buy. The dialog can get cheesy at times but you get use to it.

Picked this up a while back, and it's really good. I remember the series being on in syndication when I was going to high school, and finding it on DVD was too good to pass up. I think it may not be an official release, but the quality's good so who cares? Bring on Volume 2!!
