>they are called samurai

>called "Ronin Warriors"
>are actually Samurai Troopers
I CAN GET PEDANTIC ABOUT SYNDICATED ANIME DUBS FROM THE '90S, TOO.
>>156229507
They actually ARE ninja in the Japanese I believe, but to be fair they wear armor, and that's decidedly more samurai-esque.
>character got injured/sick
>actually got dead
Ok, /co/ who's first?
>>156229509
The armor is because they're basically cat SD Gundams. SD mecha were all the rage in Japan during the late 80s and early 90s. In addition to SD Gundam itself you had stuff like Wataru, Musashi Lord, Iron Leaguer, etc.
Anyone else gonna buy this?
>>156229513

>getting pissed for the samourai part
>not the pizza part
C'mon! /co/ do things right!
>>156229515
Might be a pretty long wait, the company making these moves at a glacial pace.
>>156229513
I'll wait for Bad Bird
>>156229516
But the pizza was always there.
>>156229507
>Samurai Jack
>is actually a ronin
Stuff like this really pisses me off. If you're not going to be historically accurate, what's the point?
>>156229518
The character designer actually wanted them to make a Bad Bird, but couldn't convince them to. Maybe if the cats sell well they'll think about it.
>>156229507
The Japanese name of the show is Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee. They're ninjas. They work undercover and it's all SD fun and pop culture gags.
>>156229521
then all hope is lost...

He did nothing wrong.
The city was being ruled by a literal retard.
>>156229511
>What is the weird feeling in my chest... and in my pants?
>>156229517
I got time
>>156229520
Jack technically isn't a Ronin.
>>156229524
And even if we assume that the princess would take over, she wouldn't be much better. Banishing people left and right over the slightest inconvenience.
>>156229525
rocket launch??
>>156229507
>We will never get wacky police force hi-jinks
I know the main characters would have been clones of the Pizza Cats but this should have been a show.
>>156229530
Blame it on poor toy sales when the bubble burst.
>>156229524
>>156229531
And that's just a crying shame, sad too see things having to rely on toys, but hey, gotta make that green somehow.
>>156229530
The real problem was that while the show itself was popular, it didn't sell much merchandise. Bandai was the show's main sponsor, and they wanted toy dosh. The initial VHS release sold poorly too, but granted that's likely in large part due to 90s anime VHS practices ($60 per two episode tape). So the lack of commercial success is why despite the strong fanbase it didn't see a proper DVD release until 2012.
>>156229530
I'm fairly certain I don't ever want to see whatever this is.
>>156229533
It was toy sales that actually gave a huge amount of freedom. During the 1980s, as long as you could get the merchandise to shift, you could do whatever you wanted. It was in the 90s when studios like Sunrise got bought out by Bandai and such that things got clamped down upon.
>>156229529
I wonder if Violet will get her mom's figure when she grows up.
>>156229530
So this would basically have been Abarenbo Shogun with robot cats?
Pretty cool.
>>156229535
It's concept sketches for a proposed sequel to Teyandee/Pizza Cats. Never made it past the early pitch stage, but it would have been police-themed. The bad guys would have been dogs this time instead of crows.
>>156229537
I wonder how can a robot grow
>>156229540
They're animaloids.
>>156229540
Cartoon physics.There's a doujin speculating on how they reproduce. It actually manages to be simultaneously funny and sexy.
>>156229537
It's possible.
>>156229521
So no Francine either?
>>156229544
Not sure if she was ever even considered. She'd probably be more suited for a Nendoroid or something than this line, though.
>>156229518
>wait for Bad Bird
That's not how this works....
>Stronger than old cheese.
>Stronger than dirt.
So was their strength Peak Human or Super Human?
>>156229547
Whatever the script needs at the time. One minute they'll survive unaided atmospheric reentry from orbit. The next they'll be immobilized by a leg injury.
>>156229539
>it would have been police-themed. The bad guys would have been dogs this time instead of crows.
I kinda hate everything about that.
glad it never happened.
>>156229538
KNT/SPC is already Abarenbo Shogun with robot cats.
>>156229548
isn't that Midnight Bliss Galford
>>156229507
>>they are called samurai
>>their behavior and tactics are ninja
Are you under the impression that Samurai and "ninja" were distinct entities with no intersection?
Because that's not historically true.
>>156229552
During the heyday of clan warfare in Japan, most of the ninja likely came from people born outside of the samurai class. It's really only after the Tokugawa shogunate restricted non-samurai from access to weaponry that this changed.
>>156229529
I miss 80s fashion
>>156229507
Samurai and ninjas aren't mutually exclusive.
>>156229516
>getting pissed at the pizza part
>not the cats part
>>156229507
>Legendary Ninja Cats
>Translate it as Samurai Pizza Cats
What did they mean by this?
>>156229557
I always debate picking up the japanese release, but I hear the translation either through executive mandate or other things isn't good or accurate.
>>156229542
>There's a doujin speculating on how they reproduce. It actually manages to be simultaneously funny and sexy.
Can I get a source on that?please?
>>156229557
it flows better in english
its basicaly
Samurai piSSa caS
>>156229511
Wh..Wh..which episode?
>>156229559
>>156229542
you talking about this one, or a different one?
>>156229561
A Mission in Manhattan. It was dubbed and produced but never actually aired in the US syndication for whatever reason.
>>156229520
Nobody's gonna watch a show called Ronin Jack, at least outside of Japan. Do you want an accurate show that gets cancelled, or a slightly less accurate one that gets 4 seasons and then gets revived for a 5th one over a decade later?
>>156229516
>samourai
Hello François
>>156229563
>mfw it was broadcasted in mexico
>>156229509
Yeah, they were. Called themselves Himitsu Ninja-tai Nyankee, IIRC. I think the choice was made because "Samurai Pizza Cats" rolls off the tongue better than Ninja Pizza Cats.
>>156229517
Better late than never.
>>156229563
What? That's not true, I saw that episode on TV back in the early 90s and I'm in New England.
>>156229562
Yes, that's the one.
>>156229566
Noice
Had pictures of arabian violet from that doujinshi?
>Kubo and the Two Strings
>three strings
>no lewds of MC
>>156229557
They didn't translate anything. They just made shit up. I thought that was common knowledge.
>>156229507
it was a gag dub. they have always been ninja
>>156229508
>change all japanese names
>give a new japanese name to the one chinese guy
>>156229570
You, uh, got a link or whatever? It looks kinda cute.
Not like I'm interested or w/e.
>>156229524
you have to admire the dubbers being clueless enough to think a fox is a rat
>>156229536
this. toy support is good. ad support is bad.
>>156229554
so much
>>156229556
>not just getting pissed at the 'samuri' spelling
>>156229564
i think everyone would have watched Ronin Jack
Rurouni Kenshin was huge at the time
>>156229573
They did, but surprisingly they come close to the actual plot a few times. A lot of the topical, referential humour is missing though, as it was based on comedians, voice actors, anime, etc.
>>156229507
sounds like they were going for a TMNT thing.
>it's called /co/ comics & cartoons
>Full of whiny autists who doesn't read comics or watch cartoons
>>156229578
And Rurouni Kenshin was retitled "Samurai X" initially.I think the real reason why SJ wasn't called Ronin Jack was because it would've opened them up to a lawsuit from Frank Miller.
>>156229578
>>156229582
That's an anime. Nobody would have watched a cartoon with a title like that, it sounds stupid.
>>156229507
Is that Bubsy?
>>156229584
No, Tatsunoko

This is just the lewd stuff, the entire book is huge, 300 pages. The guy who scanned this says he'll scan the whole book eventually.
>>156229587
Why'd I want to hurt Pururun?
>>156229567
Also they wanted to differentiate the show from Ninja Turtles.
>>156229585
>>156229586
Then what the fuck is this Bubsy shit then.
>>156229527
>>156229520
He's not even in the warrior class, really. Aku just calls him a samurai because Aku is a dolt, and maybe because he doesn't recognize the rank of nobility in lesser beings like humans.
>>156229529
>>156229587
They made her kind of a bitch, IIRC.
Francine >>> Polly
Would you order pizza from them?
>>156229595
Yeah, just gotta tip them well.
>>156229596
You better order something crazy, too, like all their customers do.
>>156229597
So, if you want mushrooms: Shut up.
If you want broccoli: What the hell is broccoli anyway? Shut up with the broccoli!
>>156229540
they just do
>>156229597
Your dam right I am, 20 pizzas with a nice order of 3 dozen cheese sticks!
