Samurai? Check. Pizza? Check. Cats? Check? DVD? CHECK.
Good morning. Discotek just announced they’ve licensed the Kyattou Ninden Teyande anime for a U.S. home video release. You may know the series better as Samurai Pizza Cats. Sounds like Discotek will be releasing the U.S. adaptation and the original Japanese version, albeit separately; I’m going to assume any consternation caused by this decision is overwhelmed by the joy you feel that Samurai Pizza Cats is actually, finally, coming out on DVD.
