Samurai Pizza Cats

Synopsis

In a Japanese-style town called Little Tokyo, the Pizza Cats run a pizza delivery shop. The village is home to all sorts of animals. Though the Emperor is officially in charge, he has lost his mind, so a council looks after the town. One council member, Seymour "Big" Cheese, secretly hopes to seize power. The pizza restaurant is just a front for their real work... Whenever evil shows up, the Pizza Cats are fired toward the trouble from a gun-shaped clock tower that rises out of the top of their shop.
