>they are called samurai
>their behavior and tactics are ninja
>called "Ronin Warriors"
>are actually Samurai Troopers
I CAN GET PEDANTIC ABOUT SYNDICATED ANIME DUBS FROM THE '90S, TOO.
>>91714589
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?
>>91714638
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?
>>91715034
go back to bed /toy/
>>91715034
I'll wait for Polly
>>91714589
>getting pissed for the samourai part
>not the pizza part
C'mon! /co/ do things right!
>>91715075
Might be a pretty long wait, the company making these moves at a glacial pace.
>>91715034
I'll wait for Bad Bird
>>91715093
But the pizza was always there.
>>91714589
>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?
>>91715126
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.
>>91714589
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.
>>91715166
then all hope is lost...
>>91714589
He did nothing wrong.
The city was being ruled by a literal retard.
>>91714790
>What is the weird feeling in my chest... and in my pants?
>>91715110
I got time
>>91715153
Jack technically isn't a Ronin.
>>91715215
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.
>>91715225
rocket launch??
>>91714589
>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.
>>91715289
Blame it on poor toy sales when the bubble burst.
>>91715215
>>91715308
And that's just a crying shame, sad too see things having to rely on toys, but hey, gotta make that green somehow.
>>91715289
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.
>>91715289
I'm fairly certain I don't ever want to see whatever this is.
>>91715352
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.
>>91715283
I wonder if Violet will get her mom's figure when she grows up.
>>91715289
So this would basically have been Abarenbo Shogun with robot cats?
Pretty cool.
>>91715362
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.
>>91715380
I wonder how can a robot grow
>>91715450
They're animaloids.
>>91715450
Cartoon physics.There's a doujin speculating on how they reproduce. It actually manages to be simultaneously funny and sexy.
>>91715380
It's possible.
>>91715166
So no Francine either?
>>91715709
Not sure if she was ever even considered. She'd probably be more suited for a Nendoroid or something than this line, though.
>>91715126
>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?
>>91715967
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.
>>91715404
>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.
>>91715392
KNT/SPC is already Abarenbo Shogun with robot cats.
>>91716011
isn't that Midnight Bliss Galford
>>91714589
>>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.
>>91716610
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.
>>91715283
I miss 80s fashion
>>91714589
Samurai and ninjas aren't mutually exclusive.
>>91715093
>getting pissed at the pizza part
>not the cats part
>>91714589
>Legendary Ninja Cats
>Translate it as Samurai Pizza Cats
What did they mean by this?
>>91718713
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.
>>91715476
>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?
>>91718713
it flows better in english
its basicaly
Samurai piSSa caS
>>91714790
Wh..Wh..which episode?
>>91719113
>>91715476
you talking about this one, or a different one?
>>91719205
A Mission in Manhattan. It was dubbed and produced but never actually aired in the US syndication for whatever reason.
>>91715153
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?
>>91715093
>samourai
Hello François
>>91719269
>mfw it was broadcasted in mexico
>>91714638
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.
>>91715110
Better late than never.
>>91719269
What? That's not true, I saw that episode on TV back in the early 90s and I'm in New England.
>>91719262
Yes, that's the one.
>>91719763
Noice
Had pictures of arabian violet from that doujinshi?
>Kubo and the Two Strings
>three strings
>no lewds of MC
>>91718713
They didn't translate anything. They just made shit up. I thought that was common knowledge.
>>91714589
it was a gag dub. they have always been ninja
>>91714623
>change all japanese names
>give a new japanese name to the one chinese guy
>>91722403
You, uh, got a link or whatever? It looks kinda cute.
Not like I'm interested or w/e.
>>91715215
you have to admire the dubbers being clueless enough to think a fox is a rat
>>91715368
this. toy support is good. ad support is bad.
>>91716860
so much
>>91717484
>not just getting pissed at the 'samuri' spelling
>>91719272
i think everyone would have watched Ronin Jack
Rurouni Kenshin was huge at the time
>>91724690
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.
>>91714589
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
>>91726016
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.
>>91726016
>>91729514
That's an anime. Nobody would have watched a cartoon with a title like that, it sounds stupid.
>>91714589

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.
>>91736681
Why'd I want to hurt Pururun?
>>91721131
Also they wanted to differentiate the show from Ninja Turtles.
>>91734286
>>91736125
Then what the fuck is this Bubsy shit then.
>>91715262
>>91715153
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.
>>91715283
>>91736681
They made her kind of a bitch, IIRC.
Francine >>> Polly
Would you order pizza from them?
>>91739394
Yeah, just gotta tip them well.
>>91739912
You better order something crazy, too, like all their customers do.

So, if you want mushrooms: Shut up.
If you want broccoli: What the hell is broccoli anyway? Shut up with the broccoli!
>>91715450
they just do

Your dam right I am, 20 pizzas with a nice order of 3 dozen cheese sticks!
