[YoshiAngemon]

Attention all remnants of the fandom who may have or may not have become Bronies or whatever: TVShowsonDVD.com has the scoop on our favorite feline heroes and not one, but TWO Boxsets coming this year!

Samurai Pizza Cats - Discotek Media Announces DVD Plans for the Classic '91 Series!
Plans are to make it available in both English version, and separate Japanese-language version with English subtitles

WOW! We just got some great news, courtesy of a tip from reader Stephen Couch (thanks!). He pointed us toward the Facebook post by Discotek Media, who put up a great image representing the classic 1991 animated series Samurai Pizza Cats, and captioned it with the words, "Complete series coming soon"!

In the comments attached to the picture, they give more details: "English dubbed version and a English subtitled Japanese language version"; "pricing isn't determined yet. The dub and sub versions will be separate releases"; and "Number of boxsets hasn't been determined yet. All 54 episodes for the sub version, and 52 episodes for the dub." This is all the info we have for you so far, but hopefully Discotek Media will include us in on any updates, including details and package art. Stay tuned!

And they say that SPEEDY is fast! But with news this big, following Shout Factory's recent acquisition of the Power Rangers DVD Licence, and their pledge to release Season Sets and Complete Series sets, I can simply say that it took a long time for this to happen, and it will be well worth it in the end.

This is amazing. The fact that they're releasing both the English and Japanese versions is nothing short of a dream come true. I suppose they're doing both separately because the various cuts and such would make it impossible to simply use two audio tracks with the same video as most DVDs do.

At any rate, I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks a lot for sharing the news!

It IS Two Boxsets - One for each version - the 52-Episode Edited American Version we're all familiar with, and the 54-Episode Uncut ORIGINAL Edition, with the English Subtitles!

[KageReneko]

Would be so cool that the american boxset include the latin voices; I just love their voices...

It's cool to see how SPC/KNT are making noise in the world!! I mean, first the possibility of appearing in Tatsunoko vs Capcom (Although that didn't work well), then the action figures and now this!!

Would be cool Tatsunoko get interested about making some ovas or a movie like altready had happened with old series like Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2 and Saint Seiya!!

We get PizzaCats.com, and then... this... this is so the best month EVER.

[Pizzacat]

Words cannot describe how damn happy I am right now! ;3;

[YoshiAngemon]

How about "I'm so happy I could explode!" followed by a literal explosion with rainbow smoke.

[KyoZaber]

Woot~! Woot~!

[CRBWildcat]

Oh man, so cool, so cool! This is SUPER awesome! I just... I just can't think of any other words to say! This is so cool!

And sorry if I repeated myself, but I thought that needed emphasis.

I don't care how much it costs, I'm getting all of these! 

YoshiAngemon, you have reported the biggest news in Pizza Cats fandom since this board was created.  Good job!

[Matt Pushinka]

How much to import it to Brazil?

How much to import it to Brazil? 

Not even for sale to anyone yet.  We'll have to wait a bit for prices.  If it doesn't come to Brazilian shops, I'm sure some sellers will be willing to ship to you.

I know. It's only a dream. Importing ANYTHING to Brazil is always overlypriced.

Still... maybe...

It wouldn't be the first time I reported on news relating to a DVD release of a cult classic. I was one who found out about the Complete Sam & Max: Freelance Police Boxset from Shout Factory, and spread the word about it to Toonzone's forums, back when I used to go there. And just recently, I was one who posted an error report regarding the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic DVD "The Friendship Express," regarding lag on Episodes 1 and 2, inciting a Disc-replacement program to be enacted. And millions of Bronies were glad to keep their flawed copies, while getting the new ones. Also one time, I actually held the Number One Spot on TIdal Tempest Zone 3 on Sonic CD's leaderboards on PSN, but now I'm about number 2.

So, yeah. I aim to please. As for the price, I'd wager it would cost about $40 to $60 per boxset, if you factor in sales tax, and shipping and handling. The price would be hefty, but well worth it!

When I first saw this news last night on ANN I had to do a doubletake to make sure it wasn't somehow April Fool's Day. I'm still in disbelief.

[KageReneko]

Wow... This is so great that even D-Mac posted here!! I'll have to import the KNT one to my country, I also will get the SPC one if it includes the latin audio; anywhere, I hope the cost don't infease so much or my wife will kill me...   

[YoshiAngemon]

Well, now. This calls for a celebration.

[Fureon]

Am I... dreaming?  
This is the best news I've heard in a long time!
YES!

[Otopz]

This can't be...!

[Mechadon]

These two sets, are more than I have ever asked for. I mean; the full Japanese version with subtitles?

I can't believe this day has come.

I'd like to thank everyone here, who shared this dream with me.

The next step is getting my paws on these sets.

and that figure.
