About Samurai Pizza Cats

Meet Samurai Pizza Cats (キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ), an action, comedy and mecha anime by Shaft and Tatsunoko Production (1990). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: The setting is a Japanese looking village named `Little Tokyo' where the Pizza Cats run a pizza fastfood business. Little Tokyo is populated by all kinds of animals.

Along the way, the official governor of the town is the Emperor, but since he has gone bananas a council takes care of the well-being of the village. One of the members of this council is called Seymour "Big" Cheese, who secretly wishes to take over control of the village. The pizza take away restaurant is merely a cover for their true job...

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Maria Kawamura as Usako Tokugawa and Juurouta Kosugi as Sukashi. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 54 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Shaft and Tatsunoko Production, so the studio's house style defines how Samurai Pizza Cats looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Maria Kawamura voicing Usako Tokugawa gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1990, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
