Synopsis
Samurai Pizza Cats (1990) is the Japanese anime series you can watch online on iFILM. In Little Tokyo — a town where old Japan collides with robots and neon — cyborg animals go about their business, and a squad of ninja cats hides behind the counter of a pizza joint.
The Emperor has gone bananas after a dental mishap, so Prime Minister Seymour "Big" Cheese keeps scheming to seize the throne. With no proof to act on, palace guard commander Al Dente quietly recruits three young cat warriors. A clock tower disguised as a cannon literally fires them across the city toward Cheese's latest giant robot. Each cat has a different weapon and temper, and they tend to save the day between pizza deliveries.
The show is famous for more than its plot: the English dub was rewritten almost from scratch into a wall-to-wall parody, mocking every cartoon cliché it could find — and that version is what turned the Cats into a cult favorite in the West. This is not solemn anime; it's fast, goofy comedy aimed at anyone raised on Saturday-morning shows who wants to go back. Stream Samurai Pizza Cats online on iFILM.
