Introductions / Your First SPC Experience

[Unblessed_Zaku_MKII]

My first experience with SPC was actually in the early 1990's, to early for me to remember. But I do remember that I have watched it in Mexico several times. I remember getting up early and watching it with my Little brother and cousins. I watched it  as much as I could. It came on TV in the USA around 1996 I believe, on UPN 13 network. I watched it again, until it was off the air. After that, it stayed in the back of my memories, forgotten , much like old fashioned values. It wasn't until recently last week, sitting down on a table at work  that SPC\KNT slapped me in the face once more. I don't know why I suddenly remembered it, but I did realize that when I stood up, I was sitting on spilt grease. It was at that time that I said to myself, I  "I will have the entire SPC series, no matter what the cost." I guess that you can say I like things from the past. I like things from an older era.....

That's EXACTLY how it happened to me. Sitting in my dorm room one night, it just got up and smacked me in the face.

Been here ever since. ^_^

First saw it in 1991 out in British Columbia on July 5th and 6:30 am. I'll never forget it.

It was "Let the Cellar Beware"

Rock on.

Howdy!

I think it's kind of sad to say this, especially around here, that I first learnt of Samurai Pizza Cats by buying the SPC Movie.  I was like 10 and didn't realize that it was just 2 episodes, but non-the-less, I thought it was hilarious!  It was the best $5 I ever spent!

But now, I'm trying to get to see atleast half of the shows (or just like the critical ones) to see all the character development.

Actually, that "SPC Movie" tape from Saban is something of a collector's item with SPC fans, and getting one for $5 was a pretty good deal.  But now there is that DVD on eBay all the time, so I don't think the VHS tape has the appeal it used to.  I think I paid about $30 to get one for my SPC/KNT collection a few years ago.

Yeah, the coveted DVD has taken over the market, and for good reason.
-quality
-massive size
-"Animated Menus!"

that is until bluetooth takes over...

The first episode I saw was when I was about in third grade. A friend who knew I liked cats reccomended the show to me, so I tuned in one morning. It was "The Nuclear Potato," and I still vaguely remember watching it for the first time.

I keep meaning to get myself one of those DVDs. The number of SPC animation cells selling on EBay is remarkable as well.

[BurkeWorld]

Want me to add you to the DVD list?

The first time that I saw SPC was when I was something like 5/6 years old. I turned on the tv and watched Fox kids and they were broadcasting SPC. after that I watched it multiple times but now I can't remember anything from that episodes. So now i'm downloading them to watch them over again.

I was in primary school, saw the show, liked it, rented a SPC vid, then forget about it. Then in 2002 I couldn’t download more Digimon Tamers episodes because of metropoliglobal ”Pay us money or wait a lot of time” download system, so I searched for something else and found SPC labs 2. You should know the rest of the story.

Have they gone out of business yet?

It's about time I got around to this, ok here is how it happened.

Snow Day(yay, no school) = me up early watching the T.V.
I was flipping the channels and there was some crazy cat in blue armor getting chased through a subway tunnel by a missile.  I was drawn to this concept for unknown reasons, I just thought "this show is the coolest thing I've ever seen".  I watched every ep I  came across from then on. 

After it went off the air I continued through my Jr. High years by signing the old S.O.S (maybe one of the first 100 to sign) and visiting Vi's page and the SPC Lair on a regular basis.  In 8th grade I even made a T-Shirt with one of those iron on kits, but it got ruined in the wash.
in the last two years I have focused on obtaining eps, and most recently found this place. this concludes my epic, thank you

I can't remember specifics I just remember that it was during the summer holidays and me and my brother were watching cartoons and it came on. I thought it was brilliant, it was just so funny. I knew it was a good show when my brother started laughing and didn't make me change the channel, the guy had no sense of humour.
I haven't seen it in ages and today the theme song just popped into my head while I was working, so I decided I would have a browse on the net and see whats about. I'm going to have to try and get some copies of it, there must be DVD's available.
I realise I'm not as avid a fan as everyone else here, but I did enjoy the show.

I was about 12 years old when I first saw SPC.  They had advertised it a day or two before and I initially passed it off as another 'kiddie' show.  (I'm sure everyone remembers Saban's terrible ad for the show.) 

It was only a couple days later that I caught the last minute or so of an episode, where Speedy was about to use the Ginzu Sword.  At first, it looked kiddish, but then I heard it...  the Narrator's voice...

"The Maaagical Ginzu Sword will cut through anything, the toughest steel, the hardest cement, Barbara Bush's hairspray!"

This was the first full line I heard in SPC and from then on, I was hooked.

It's been a really long time since I've watched any SPC episodes but it's always been a series that I kind of consider special, since I was really into it when I was a kid. ^^ I can't really remember how I found out about it or what TV channel I first saw it on but since I'm in Canada, I'm guessing it was on YTV that I just casually decided to see what it was about. I was pretty much instantly hooked on the show and I'd record the episodes onto VHS tapes so that I could watch it when it wasn't on TV at the time. XD; I remember sitting at home on the weekend afternoons, drawing nothing but SPC characters.

I kept getting interesting in SPC a few times over the last five years or so and it was only recently that I discovered Tsuneko's AVIs... I gotta say, watching it now is like a whole other experience! I don't remember the series being nearly so witty with so many political jokes... XD I love it~ I'd really like to get more involved with the SPC community, but I'm afraid I'd have to wait until I saw more episodes (dubbed and subbed). I just wish that the series would get its chance to be on DVD at some point over here~

Hiya, Tas, welcome to the forums.

I don't remember when I first began watching SPC, but I do remember watching it religiously. That's all I can really say, I've always loved the Pizza Cats, its just that I didn't have such a source until now...I've found paradise!
