Samurai Pizza Cats 6-Disc Box Set DVD
Samurai Pizza Cats is the early-1990s syndicated English-language adaptation of the Japanese anime Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, in which a trio of cyborg samurai cats, Speedy Cerviche, Polly Esther, and Guido Anchovy, work as pizza-delivery felines in the futuristic Little Tokyo while moonlighting as defenders of the city against the schemes of the Big Cheese and his minions. The show ran across TV Tokyo in Japan, YTV in Canada, and US first-run syndication through 1990 and 1991.
What stands out is the famously-loose English-language adaptation. The dub treats the original Japanese material with deliberate irreverence, the writing leans hard into joke-driven dialogue and self-aware breaking-of-the-fourth-wall asides, and the animation handles the cybernetic samurai-cat fights with full anime-action energy. The voice work plays the absurd plotting with full earnestness, anchoring the show's signature dub-comedy register.
It belongs to a specific early-90s wave of syndicated anime adaptations, the same family of cross-cultural English-language dubs that brought Japanese animation to North American afternoon blocks during that period. For Samurai Pizza Cats fans whose collection skews toward the wild English dub, this run is the franchise's defining North American entry.
Highlights in the set include "Stop Dragon My Cat Around!," "If You Knew Sushi Like I Know Sushi," "The Great Golden Cluck," "The Pizza Cats Are Only Human Part 1," "Field Of Screwballs," "Bad Bird Uncaged Part 1," "A Mission In Manhattan," "Kung Fu Kitty Kontest," "The Cheese Who Stole Christmas," "The Big Comet Caper," and "The Cats Cop Cartoon Careers," episodes that capture both the show's standalone gags and its biggest mythology-driven setpieces. This 6-DVD collection gathers 50 episodes from across the run, a deep archival home for Samurai Pizza Cats.
