Introductions / Your First SPC Experience

[Crow]

The first time I saw Speedy's Ginzu swords unleash the "Cat's Eye Slash", I thought to myself "I'd love to be able to unleash that kind of force on some of those bozos that make school a living nightmare for me every day"

Well, I guess its' better than using a gun..... 

[Razgriz27]

Yeah......too bad stuff like that doesn't exist in the real world.

Alas.........if only they'd give us back our Pizza Cats, then all would be well again.

The first time I saw Speedy's Ginzu swords unleash the "Cat's Eye Slash", I thought to myself "I'd love to be able to unleash that kind of force on some of those bozos that make school a living nightmare for me every day". I also wished that I could retaliate like Guido does, with the Samurai Sunspot Umbrella. I'd hypnotize those bozos, and make them do all kinds of embarrassing things. Ahhhhhhh........the wonderful memories of watching Samurai Pizza Cats. Watching that show after a hard day at school always made me feel better.

I think I like you…as I have posted a lot of times, by the time I got interested in the show, it wasn’t aired anymore. You know, the whole thing about the tape I rented?. Ah the old times, like When I wasted a whole weekend downloading everything from the old SPClabs2...

[Razgriz27]

Yeah. It really ticks me off that they put such retarded, mind-rotting trash on the airwaves these days. I mean, the execs don't even care about what the fans want, all they care about is making money. I miss the good old days too, when American cartoons were high quality, and were ALWAYS amusing. BRING BACK THE PIZZA CATS!!!!! LISTEN TO US, THE FANS (unless, of course, you want to receive Polly Esther's fury!)

Hi there,

The name's Ksim3000 and I've been viewing this forum for a few months but I decided to finally come on and join. I must admit though, it does seem pretty quiet which is a shame although I do hope to make a few pals here, afterall, I have noticed that the age group for SPC lovers is around my age (I'm the ancient 19 years of age :p) so it is something dear to our hearts.

Anyway, I'll see what happens and I do like to RP on AIM sometimes so if anyone is interesting, even just chatting about SPC, that'd be good. Too much of this Metal Alchemist and not enough Pizza Cats!

Seriously, it's the only Anime/Cartoon that I can get into really.

Cheers, Ksim.

I like FMA, but Samurai Pizza Cats is the way I was introduced to anime. It was the only good thing about being home sick from school with the flu, since I got to watch 5 comedy-packed episodes of Speedy, Guido, and Polly kicking Ninja Crow tailfeathers, and seeing Cheese blow up from his tantrums every time he lost. I swear, the Big Cheese is probably one of the dumbest cartoon villains ever.

Well from watching the couple of fan translated KNT episodes, the Big Cheese seems more sharper than on the English series. I think it's generally down to that with the English series, they made it more into a cartoon where as with KNT, it did have it's more mature elements. On the first episode, the Big Cheese recommends all the members commit suicide (seppuku) with failure to deal with the dragon. For English and other Western kids, that wouldn't excately be appropriate.....

I guess they just dumbed down the Big Cheese a bit. But still, he is one of my favourite characters.

hmmm
for me i would say it was during my high school years
i believe i was working on my writing at some early hour in the day when i saw it
almost instantly i was hooked
the animation was awesome
the writing hilarous
the characters were all funny!
*magical ginsu sword*
after being exposed to the cats,
life just was never the same
so when are they gonna put out a box set of dvds of those kitties so i can feed my addiction daily??

[Blackcat]

There are some funny things in the media, like Full “Metal PAnic? FuMoFu”, that is a parody of Full Metal Panic, one authorized by the author. And Avatar, And "Hyperforce" (Short name for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Robot_Monkey_Team_Hyperforce_Go!) too bad that when the Skeleton King revives and he looks like a freaking clone of you know who.

[Razgriz27]

Let's get back to discussing our first experiences of the greatness that is Samurai Pizza Cats. Anyone else care to share their memories of how they were introduced to this awesome show?

[runia24]

I've only been a fan for about a month, but I can safely say this is my new favorite anime.

Anyway, I was feeling nostalgic, so I went on YouTube and searched for a whole bunch of old anime/american cartoons, when I found this show called Samurai Pizza Cats. Well, I thought Samurai were cool, I liked pizza, and my family has two cats, so I thought "What the heck?" and watched an episode (the first one.)

Needless to say I was hooked instantly. Right now I've seen the first four episodes.

But yeah, SPC is awesome³.

[Razgriz27]

You can download a bunch of the episodes at the following link, then save them to a blank DVD-disc, which you can probably find at most electronics stores. http://www.edoropolis.org/spclabs2/Eps.html

That's where I got them. I've already DLed 5-8 (except 6 doesn't work for me), I just need to watch them.

[Razgriz27]

It's too bad that they haven't released a DVD set of the eps. They release DVD's of cartoons that never should have existed, but the good stuff like Samurai Pizza Cats gets forgotten, except for the memories of the fans like us here on this and other SPC sites. I wish something could be done to get a DVD boxed set released for Samurai Pizza Cats.

I first saw SPC when it first appeared in the UK.  It was 1991, I was 10 (that makes me 26 now, in case you're wondering) and it was on the old Saturday morning show Motormouth.  At the time, they described it as "taking the UK by storm" but in reality, it never really did that well over here as far as I could tell.  I was hooked straightaway and I never forgot it, even after Motormouth finished and the show disappeared.  A few episodes were shown during the summer of 1995 but then it sadly vanished again.  Then late last year, someone posted a "nostalgic cartoons" thread on another forum and SPC got a mention.  I started checking out Web sites, got watching some episodes and fell totally back in love with the show (not that I ever really fell out of it).  So here I am! 

[Razgriz27]

That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing, LadyFlame, and welcome aboard! I know what you mean about so many good shows going out before their time. It's the same way here in the States. Cartoons in America were really cool from the 80's up to and including the mid-90's, but after that, every channel has since been flooded by stuff that I can't bear to watch. Youtube is a good place to watch Pizza Cats eps., if you want to check that out.

[TGLucario475]

its either that...or a weird episode of Sonic Undergroud!

Oh... ...dear god... ...no.

yes, teh evilness!!!

Welcome, nice story, if i remember correctly, from Wikipedia, SPC was shown on ITV & BBC i blame the Big Cheese & his High Def TV's!!!

[Razgriz27]

Haha...CURSE YOU, BIG CHEESE!!!

One of my favorite memories of Samurai Pizza Cats was the part of the Ep. "Pizza Delivery Of Doom", when Jerry Atrick insults Cheese about his breath, and Cheese fails to realize that he'd just been insulted. He's so stupid, it's no wonder he looses all the time.
