For whatever reason, I could not find a thread on this. I could've sworn we had one a number of years back... I vaguely remember there being discussion about the fansub project... Probably got deleted at some point, though....
Anyways, thought I'd post this topic with the recent news of Discotek having licensed the series.
As ANN reports:
Quote:
The North American video distributor Discotek Media revealed on Monday that it will be releasing the entire Samurai Pizza Cats (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee) anime series on home video. According to the post, the company will be selling separate subtitled and dubbed releases of the series via box sets — 52 episodes total for the dubbed release and 54 for the subtitled edition — with pricing and number of box sets yet to be determined.
The 1990-91 Tatsunoko "science-fiction historical gag battle anime" revolves arouund Nyankii (Samurai Pizza Cats), a secret ninja team that protects the robotic animal inhabitants of Edoropolis (Little Tokyo) from the evil ninja organization Karakara. Saban Entertainment licensed and released the series on television in the United States.

So, for fans of both the dub and sub, this is seriously good news. Though, it's understandable that the versions won't be on the same set, it does make the price a bit steeper with the fact you have to buy two separate releases to get both versions. But, eh... What can you do?
Hopefully they'll be released at the same time, as I'd much prefer the Japanese version. Most of my exposure to the series was through the Japanese one, so I'm more partial to it as a result.
So, what's your guys opinions of this news? Also, feel free to use this to discuss the series as a whole!
