Fans are bemused by the sudden revelation that the heroes of the Sengoku Jidai period were busy munching quality American food in between climactic combat and geisha ogling.
Sengoku Basara would not normally be seen as a vehicle for promoting Pizza Hut, but some marketing genius evidently thought otherwise…
Doubtless next episode the heroes will be riding into battle on their Toyota automobiles and celebrating their victories with sparkling Coca Cola under the golden arches of McDonald’s.
Sengoku Basara appears to be developing in some interesting directions of late.

Who watch this series for historical accuracy? Just enjoy the macho-ness.
I lol'd hard but it would be even funnier if Nobunaga was eating Pizza hut
LMFAO i can just imagine that XD
New evidence for ancient Italian-Japanese relations?
Everything runs on businesses and market research anyways. Art and intelligent thought doesn't exist anymore. Which is why I'd rather just keep watching ecchi than waste my time with ecchiless stuff while hoping for something good out of it :P hot women and a good fap are more reliable.
Wheres my Pizza Boobs Kasuga ?!
ahahha artefact is fucking funny
>quality American food
pizza is italian
pizzahut is the american franchise for the italian food
I lol'd.
"...of the Sengoku Jidai period..."
Sengoku period period lol.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!!
or Samurai Pizza Cats XD
I have to admit shows like that help got be stuck on Pizza.
SAMURAI PIZZA FAGS
ummmm... unpleasant childhood memories?
Referring to the pic in this article. They're samurai eating pizza and I'm making fun of their sexuality, that's all.
oh ok, okie dokie ;)
Ahh heck they just stole that from some guy.
I fucking love this show.
japan is pathetic
it's like drawing george washington eating sashimi then :')
WOW AMERICAN SHIT ASS DESPERATE CULTURAL MARKETING INTEGRATION! WOW SHIT ASS!
Yeah, what he said!
Anyway.. Anybody has the full video?
That kind of thing would work great in a comedy (which I can only guess this isn't).
A delorean just magically zipped in out of the sky and some boxes fell out of its open trunk during its short time there.
see? everything makes sense. So the next time you find something next to you that just appeared out of nowhere, you know what just happened.
suddenly...TIEM PARADOX XDDD
"Snake! What are you doing in that pizza box?"
"I'm going to Japan lol"
That's very intelligent. I hope it was delivered to their doorstep by a time leaping pizza bike.
Fact: Nothing original comes from America, apart from liquid cheese.
That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read considering how much of the world's modern technology was developed or at least had it's start in the US.
because eating pizza is manly
*runs
riding into battle on their Toyota automobiles and celebrating their victories with sparkling Coca Cola under the golden arches of McDonald’s.
hahahahah i'm totally photoshopping that ...hahaha
yea do it! and post it in the forums or something
Please, do! I'm serious. Seeing that would make my day, and possibly the days of a few others!
Well, it's not like they don't already have mecha in Sengoku Basara... (let alone the motorbike exhaust pipes on Masamune's horse)
It ain't the first time, Pizza Hut decided to appear in animes.
Code Geass...
Anyone remember the Macross pizza among anime-based creations?
Pizza Hut Japan is making me rage as of late.
and so does Kannagi and Sora Kake, but that's not the point...
MariMite
Darker than black.
So, after Code Geass now this?
Beware, otakus!
You guys are subject to Pizza Hut's unconventional marketing!
is it wrong that i actualy like pizza hut?
as for in show advertisment .. eh its not to bad.. if the show was a serious one then it would be greivous for reality check but its not so i dont relly mind
Yeah it is wrong. Any company that ruins the enjoyment of anime by bringing in real world stuff should be erased from the world.
And they already did it to Code Geass...to the ridiculous extreme, where they were eating that damn pizza in every second episode.
Sengoku Basara added to blacklist now...
I can live with seeing whatever advertising it is in anime if it means I can watch non moe stuff. Advertising provides added revenue so the makers can upped the production value, anime that might generate less sales might be made, etc, etc... Advertising gave me Code Geass, Darker than Black, Freedom, Eureka Seven, etc... so I can live with random products showing up if it means I don't have to watch K-On, Lucky Stars, Strike Witches, other moe shit.
sad that it has to come to that in order for non-moe anime to get off the ground these days :P lol. No surprise, though. This is a society where some "grown" men (some probably clenching dirty, old dakimura), in droves, go to concerts that look like they should be for 10 year old girls, where 10 year old girls basically sing and dance in fancy costumes, and seemingly have the time of their lives.
but if the show really was that good, then even going and putting something like this into it would taint the style of it. Imagine if works of art had small pieces of advertising in a corner of it or something, that's how I feel about it. But if it's just empty entertainment to begin with, like most things are, it's no big deal.
Well I think anachronism is a big part of the style of Sengoku Basara, and hence there is no tainting to speak of. In fact you can think of the anime as a microcosm of modern Japan, with the very traditional along with the globalised and modern.
HAHAHAHA, I mean, it's not like I took this show seriously before, but now...
There is no way anyone can take it seriously...
OYAKATASAMA!!! YUUKIMURA!!!
Anyway this isn't all that strange in an anime with horses that has exhaust pipes hanging by the side...
Err... Pizza is Italian food, not American btw
But Pizza Hut is American, no?
yeah ..it's americanize....
Russians got it from the mongols
pizza is an EARTH FOOD. D:
Awesome lesson in food history!
Now do hamburgers!
Are they really from Hamburg, Germany?
ok asides going of topic but answering the question as IIRC the original hamburger was invented in Russia during the cold war as a raw chunk of ground meat until it was re-invented in America and as what we have known today same went for its cousin the salisbury stake when veggies and buns were a rare commodity during WW2, and according to wiki yes its derived from a version of a Hamburg cuisine called Frikkadelle
Pizza invented Koreans.
Pizza invented pacman
whoever posted Koreans invented pizza... lol no we didnt..and for that matter Pizza in its widely known commercial form is strictly an American heritage. the boxing, the format, the ingredients and the cooking style are all derived from American culture. A very different style of 'pizza' which is from italien heritage exists in (obviously) italy. it vastly differs in not only ingredients but portion size, eating style, cooking style and is hard to compare with American pizza because of its unique but also tasty (from what ive heard) traits
No, we Corean invented Pizza.
American way of thinking:
ALL YOUR FOOD ARE BELONG TO US!
well whatever, it's a land of fat people...
and pizza hut, like other fast food crap is a virus created by americans...
I also want to say that Artefact is right when naming it an "american food"; in fact, the recipe and the way you cook the american one are a world apart from the italian pizza, not to mention the fact that even in its home there are two kinds of it, the Rome's and the Naple's. The first thin and well cooked, the second taller and kept less time in the oven.
its fat american pizza for the fat capitalist pigs
все градом Сталина!!
Go wipe your ass with your soviet tissues.
Actually pizza was created first in America by an Italian immigrant... So based on location it is an American creation, based on the guy who created its heritage it is Italian. Lol!
they used...BLOOD
Jesus, i can't find the words.
the anon who said:
"Actually, pizza was created by the Romans who put cheese, tomatoes, and other vegetables on a flat piece of hard bread."
is half right.
Half because tomatoes didn't exist, they imported some kind of yellow vegetables, and only later, after mixing seeds and branches, it became what it is now.
Also the roman pizza was not exactly like the one you can have now, they used different ingredients, such as a different floor, obviously.
It's still safe to say that the actual pizza is an upgrade from the ancient roman one;
If you talk about the "margherita" Pizza, it was first cooked in 1889, named after the Queen Margherita of Savoia. The three colours of tomatoes, mozzarella chees and basil refer to the colours of the italian flag.
Actually, pizza was created by the Romans who put cheese, tomatoes, and other vegetables on a flat piece of hard bread.
Romans didn't even HAVE tomatoes...
That brings up very intriguing thoughts of what kind of red materials they used... perhaps something acquired from people not good enough for Roman pizza?
In nintendo Pizza eats you
In Soviet Russia, pizza eats you.
