A creative, fun anime. This one involved the Pizza cats who were also samurais and fought evil characters when inter-rumping peace in Tokyo. See, the cats work on a Pizza restaurant!
This cartoon is really a hidden gem. It had the necessary humor to entertain children and adults. The situations were really comical with
the Japanesse touch. I really dug the sometimes black humor used because it fit perfectly with the characters.
I liked their comical adventures and the cartoon's ending always had a positive message.
Oh, this is pure nostalgia. I remember always sitting in front of t.v. every day at 4:00 p.m. waiting eagerly for the show.
This cartoon is tender but really humorous. I don't know where to find it but believe me, if it's released on DVD, it will be a HUGE success. This may be the best comical anime.
Also, the opening song is stuff for legend. Samurai Pizza Cats!!

Samurai Pizza Cats has been on T.V for nearly 10 years, despite there only being just about over 50 episodes, it still proves to be one of Japan's best cartoons. Most people will have never heard of this cartoon (because of other cartoons like Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and of course... Pokemon). The funniest part of the cartoon was the narrator, sometimes screwing up his lines and making crazy comments. In short Samurai Pizza Cats is a lost classic
On the surface, the show appeared to be nothing more than a spoof of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with a bunch of pizza loving cats who fight crime. But Samurai Pizza Cats proved to be much more than that. It was a show with it's own unique brand of humor, wit, glib, charm and Charisma.
Originally titled "Legend of the Cat Samurai", the show aired in Japan a few years before finally making it overseas where Saban took it and changed it into the show it is today. Because they had no transcripts made for them, the writers were forced to improv and make up stories to fit the characters actions - it worked beautifully. The final product ended up being a 'parody' of what it what it intended to be. Pizza had very little to do with it.
The reason why the show is so enjoyable is because it doesn't take itself too seriously. It is very light humored in nature. Even the villains are likeable. The show also is well rounded and manages to touch on the areas of friendship and love, something which other shows fail to do. The personalities were almost life-like, adding depth to the show.
In short, this was a great series and would have been even greater had the creators simply decided to make more episodes.

Samurai Pizza Cats is one of my favourite cartoons of all time! There are so many people who just say its a rip-off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but this just isn't true. As a girl I never really watched TMNT, but Samurai Pizza Cats is suitable for boys and girls. Pizza Cats is way more funny, and light-hearted. I love the lame little puns and jokes and the character names, (Polly Esther, Big Al Dente)... its such a cute and enjoyable show! Its definitely one of the most unique kids cartoons around in my opinion. The characters are so awesome and I always wanted to be just like them as a kid!! Its one of those really memorable cartoons of my childhood, along with Jem, Smurfs, Wacky Racers etc.
This is such a great idea for a Anime series! One of the best Anime cartoons ever has to be Samurai Pizza Cats. This is funny, yet it also has action. I recommend that all Anime/cartoon comedy lovers try to watch this somehow.
