Welcome to the Eto Rangers section of Edoropolis Emporium!

Eto Ranger's full name is Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Etoranger (12 Warrior Explosion Eto Ranger). The short name Etoranger is a reference to the sentai squadron shows with the name 'Ranger' in the title. The show could be described as a 'furry' anime (kemono), with the population of the Eto Rangers' home being almost all humanoid animals, just as the Pizza Cats world is inhabited by animals. The character designs are similar, as Noritaka Suziki worked on both shows as a character designer. 5 years after Kyattou Ninden Teyandee began in 1990, Eto Rangers was on public broadcast satellite (NHK BS2) in 1995. Unfortunately, it never made its way beyond the NHK satellite to terrestrial airwaves. Even though it was well received by early satellite anime fans (who would later enjoy Card Captor Sakura on satellite), it did not get as much of a chance as KNT. There were international versions but it never made it as far as an English version, which is why the UK/Canada/USA Samurai Pizza Cats fans are not as familiar with it. There was a version airing in Mexico, so it did make it to part of the Americas. It had a Chinese, Korean, Philipino, and Italian version as well.

In the show, the floating island continent of Mugen hangs over the sea. It is held to the sky by the Novel Pole. Princess Aura watches over Mugen from her palace, which she cannot leave or her powers would be stripped. The Eto Rangers are 12 animal spirits (Seirei) of the Chinese zodiac chosen to defend the Novel Worlds. The Novel Worlds are the stories and legends of the human world, and their destruction would mean calamity for the human realm. The Evil-Spirited (Jyarei) Monsters from beneath the sea emerge to attack the Novel Worlds, distorting the stories by posing as a character and changing the world into an alternate version of itself. Their commander is the cat, Queen of Evil Spirited Monsters, Nyanma. She watches from the depths in the undersea shell fortress. The Eto Rangers travel to the Novel Worlds and have adventures trying to find and purify the Jyarei Monster in each world. Kirinda, their space-time vehicle, takes them through the hyperspace within the Novel Pole.

The similarities to Pizza Cats include the character of Cream, who is reminiscent of Princess Vi/Usahime. As a kind of younger cousin show to KNT, it has a place of its own on Edoropolis Emporium.
