On Samurai Pizza Cats


I was recently made aware of the existence of an Anime Series so incredibly random I have to share it with you today.

SAMURAI PIZZA CATS

How awesome is that? It's a series about anthropomorphic Cats that wear super armour to defend Little Tokyo. In their free time they run a pizza joint.

Is that not awesome?

What kind of a though process is involved in deciding to combine those ideas together. Pizza, Samurai and Cats! Perhaps the creator was on LSD (incidentally Albert Hofmann died today). I wish I could be as random as that. Most of my random-generation routines involve picking events that have no relation to what I'm talking about. This is sort of paradoxical though because they are related through their lack of relation...
I think a good general formula for the creation of random things involves

  • an animal: try to make it as bizarre as possible. Platypus, Narwhale, Eagle
  • an action: animals don't usually do human actions so choose something like dancing or smoking
  • an quality: colours are good. Psychedelic colours are better. Flavours work well too
  • a location: make it bizarre or really normal. Super normalcy when people expect random can be very random.

...but cats are not random, nor is pizza... (nor are samurai in japan)
what is random is they are unrelated
