History Trivia / SamuraiPizzaCats

* UncreditedRole: The English version only credits a small handful of voices, leaving many of the supporting players uncredited. Due to this, it lead to many of those roles either having to be identified by ear, often erroneously, or by several of the actors themselves after the fact.

* FollowTheLeader: Accidental one at that. The approach they used for the new scripts worked so well it went to influence later dubs released for the US market like Creator/{{Funimation}}'s dub of ''Manga/CrayonShinChan'', Creator/{{Geneon}}'s dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIRedJacket'' [[note]]both of which aired on Creator/AdultSwim[[/note]], and even ''[[Series/MostExtremeEliminationChallenge MXC]]''! Unfortunately, it also gave rise to companies like ''Creator/FourKidsEntertainment'' who is infamous for its {{Macekre}}d anime series, gag based or not. Even then, it also encouraged Creator/{{Nelvana}} and its infamous {{Macekre}} of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.

* ExecutiveMeddling[=/=]ProtectionFromEditors: Started in the former, ended in the latter. Satoru Akahori mentions in a 1991 interview that in the show's early stages there was a lot of intervention from Bandai, including forcing them to add things in at the last minute. But by the latter half of the show, everyone, including the network, had essentially given the staff free reign of the series. The increasing level of freedom led to the show getting crazier as it progressed, and the ratings climbed accordingly. Formulaic elements at the beginning of the series were lessened as well, such as reliably-episodic appearances of the Rescue Team and the Supreme Catatonic, in favor of more flexible plot turnouts.

** Episode 6, "Singing Samurai Sens'''a'''tion" was likely meant to be named "Singing Samurai Sens'''e'''ition" to keep the pun intact.

** The opening for the dub misspells "Samurai", omitting the second "a".

* {{Blooper}}: In the second episode of the Japanese version, the professor who explains plot points to the audience refers to Koon-no-Kami as Inari-no-Kami. The latter was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen his name early in the show's development.]] This line was eventually redubbed with the proper name.

* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: [[http://2nd.geocities.jp/lifezoids2/EDO-08.htm The original Supreme Catatonic toy released during the show's run featured a chrome fish gun with blue accents.]] When said weapon finally made a short appearance in the show's finale, it was given a color scheme that was [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piranigun2.png primarily orange with red and yellow accents.]] The [[http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-014238 two]] [[http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-018964 new]] Supreme Catatonic toys released in 2016 opted for the latter, show-accurate colors.
