Introductions / Your First SPC Experience

[smoore]

Hey guys, long time no see, some of you might remember me from the old boards

Been away for a while now but decided to come back to the fold and mingle with my fellow SPC fans once again

I first got my taste of the SPC back in '92 when it aired here in Australia, when I first watched it i thought of nothing more than a parody of the TMNT which was still going fairly strong here, the more i watched of it though I became thoroughly intrigued by the sheer humor of the characters and couldn't help but love that exploding rodent known as the big cheese :p

It came back on the air here in '94 and I managed to tape most of the eps, can't say i've enjoyed a series more than it which i'll go back and constantly watch...

When I discovered SPC_FAN's site a few years ago i once again got my fix of SPC and discovered a lot of people who also shared my happiness at a great series and also got my hands on some eps that never made it to the aussie shores

Lookin' forward to talking with all you SPC fans once again...

cheers

Personally, I NEVER thought of TMNT when I watched SPC, even though I like the Turtles.

Turtles makes you do this-

SPC makes you do this-

My first experience was back in 1997(or was it '96) anyways. I had the day off from school and was flipping through the channels and decided to give it a shot. I fell in love right away. I thought it was very hilarious.

Turtles makes you do this-

Blind?

SPC makes you do this-

Shortsighted with big mouth?
Ha, ha, just kidding!

Welcome to the madness newbie people

Hi all.  I think my first experience with the pizza cats was seeing the clip of it on Power Rangers.  I didn't really watch it much till this recently when I saw the torrent of the first five eps on a bittorrent site a few weeks back.  Ever since then I have been tracking down SPC and KNT eps like mad.  I really love the OST to KNT, the blend of old and new is a really great sound.

I am from the midwest(Indiana) and I am 26 years old.

Don't know what else to say.

Well, I got four words for you.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM!!!

The OST is probably what got me started researching it again. I think I tried to download SPCPolly's mp3s before I got many episodes of SPC. XP did not like my network card and I kept getting most of my downloads back then cut off. Remember a little program called NetVampire? I had to use that to resume my downloads from SPCPolly's site every few seconds. And it was so slow. It took many hours to get a few mp3s, but it was worth it.
I hope you had a much easier time getting into SPC than I did back then with my messed up devices. Welcome.

Man, this show brings back some good memories.  I think I was in between Kindergarten to Grade 2 when the show came out (forgot exactly), but the minute I saw the episodes on YouTube, I almost fell out of my seat.  Samurai Pizza Cats and G Gundam are good memories from my elemetary school days.

By the way, I just joined this group a few minutes ago.  My name's Brian.  Nice to meet everyone!

I think you win the award for "Most Bizzare User Name Ever."

Thanks!  It's my middle name twice, then, since I was hardcore into most punk music, I added the Oi Oi Oi.

[BurkeWorld]

Haha, right on.

Welcome to the forums my friend, you can call me RW or Reizche; it doesn't really matter.

Enjoy your stay and don't feed the Tigriss.

EDIT: I see you study Kenpo, I've been practicing that for 12 years and have reached my 2nd Degree black belt. Always nice to meet a fellow Martial Artist. Awesome.

Thanks!  I look forward to my time here.
That's awesome you're a 2nd degree black belt.  I've been working on my weapon's belt for two years because of laziness, but right now I'm a 3rd brown.  I used to hate teaching days so much (I just got off my shift about 2 hours ago), but compared to working, it's much better.

I first saw SPC sometime in my 1-4th grade years.  Since I was homeschooled, and finished my shcoolwork between 11-1, I could watch it everyday.  It quickly became one of my favorite shows, though I didn't watch it very often because I was afraid people would make fun of me for watching such a silly show >_>

Soon after it went off the air where I live, I completely forgot about it until last year, when I read a topic about it on another forum.  I downloaded and watched all the episodes and remembered how awesome the show was.  I searched for an SPC community, and found this site... so here I am.

Welcome aboard. This is the place where you make fun of those who DIDN'T watch such a silly show.

Ha, that's right.

We're the new order.

Welcome to the community.

Hi I'm new here! 

I can't really remember my first experience I just remember seeing it and being hooked.

Most people seem to say they want SPC on DVD. I couldn't really care less if it never became DVD what I want is WAY more far fetched. I want series 2 of SPC. That'll probably never happen though

I believe it was the summer before my 8th grade year...  My little sister and I were channel surfing, and I suddenly stumbled across some sort of anime on Fox Kids.  (Oh, the good old days when TV lineup names made sense.)  After the first five minutes of SPC, I couldn't stop laughing, and my little sister (only about 3 or 4 at the time) loved watching it as well.  And my gawd, who knew a middle schooler would cry at the final episodes.   

So now I'm 22, and have a little girl of my own, just over a year and a half.  My husband thinks I'm crazy for watching it, but heck...  I think HeMan is more "dumbed down" for kids than SPC.   

As for favorite characters...  I'm a BadBird fangirl at heart.

Welcome. I love your avatar. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine with our crowd.

I remember my very first time seeing anything Pizza Cats-related was a commercial on Fox, I think, stating the air time for the show. I've always liked cats, and from what I saw in the commercial, it looked like it might be worth watching. However, it was going to be on while I was at school, so I set the VCR to record it and watched it later that day.

I think I only ever saw a handful of episodes, because the station stopped carrying it shortly after I discovered it. I think my last memory of actually watching it on TV was while we were on vacation many years ago, the hotel we stayed at apparently received a station that aired it. But I found it a very amusing show, with hilarious writing, memorable characters, and an interesting setting (Take 1/2 modern metropolis, add 1/2 feudal Japan, sprinkle with giant robots, and populate with cybernetic animal-people. Mix in large bowl. Heat for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with pepperoni.), so it stuck with me. It will definitely be one of those shows I never forget.

Fast-forward a few years, to the Internet age. I was pleased to find that there was a substantial fanbase for the show on the web. And knowing now how anime are often changed quite a bit for localization, I became interested in seeing what the original show was like. And thanks to the work of the subtitlers here, I've been able to do just that!
