>I thought us mexicans liked food spicy, but this is ridiculous.
- Visiting mexican dignitary after the cats accidentally dump a whole bunch of pepper ino his food.
Qing Dynasty China, I think, probably 19th Century.
Even though they're more or less background characters, the humans in the show are actually funnier than the main cast of animals. Sagwa and her family are owned by a Chinese magistrate, basically the mayor/judge of this little village. He's a complete doofus who just wants to lay about and eat and let his servants run the place for him. His wife is this mean-tempered social-climbing old hen of a woman who constantly nags him to get off his duff and do his job.
There's one episode where a Brit or Frenchman or something visits
They had one episode feature a hot air balloons (1783) and another a movie camera (1882-1890) so are the earliest it is set right before the turn of the century and could even be in the early 20th.
So The Magistrate's kids probably got butchered either by the Japanese or by Mao's cultural revolution. If they were lucky they escaped to Taiwan.
Someone told me 'sagwa' roughly means 'moron' in chinese.
Not a direct translation, I remember it's actual translation is something more innocuous sounding, but it's used in the same context
I only ever sat through 2 or 3 Sagwa episodes. It was alright, but I was like 14 or 15 and I never liked cats all that much. Still, a pretty neat prehistoric China show.
It isn't like Spongebob where every episode became a meme so people aren't sure it even happened because their experiences aren't being constantly validated.
>is that a semi-obscure thing from 15-20 years ago I watched as a 5-10 year old kid? >WHOAAAAAA I THOUGHT THAT WAS LE HECKIN' FEVER DREAM XD NO WAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REAL HAHA ANYBODY ELSE?
YouTubegays will call anything a fever dream now, they don't understand true art because all of their minds are corrupted by talentless milquetoast nonsense.
>sagwa will never be real >you will never run your fingers through her soft fur as she comes bounding up to you >you will never hear about her day at the palace and her adventures outside >you will never congratulate her on her wonderful calligraphy >you will never stroke her fur as she falls asleep in your lap >you will never call her a good kitty
This is one of those shows I haven't watched since I was in preschool/kindergarten and don't remember jack shit about but still randomly pops into my head once in a long while. Same goes for shows like Stanley and Zoboomafoo.
It’s a frickin’ CAT
Frick
RUN MITTENS RUN
aahh, vintage
Cat bites his dick off.
That won't be enough to stop me
its fukin a cat
No
A cat is fine too
I liked Sagwa because I felt like it captured my sibling dynamic pretty well as the middle of three
are you a cat
I was always too scared to watch sagwa, I thought it was a "big kids show" like avatar
Oh shit is that Sagwa the motherfricking Chinese Siamese Cat?
What the frick is sagwa
A chinese siamese cat.
sagwa deez nuts
gottem
I've literally never heard of this
homie, do you even PBS? If you watched during Dragon Tales and Clifford The Big Red Dog's runs, you HAD to have seen this.
I remember clifford but not the other two
Im not american though
Estonian?
Sagwa was a few years later, so it is easy to overlook.
Fun fact; Taiwan/ROC used to decapitate people if you tried exporting siamese cats
Wow
Why would the Taiwanese care about a Thai cat
Oh, my mistake.
Isn't it the same now with pandas?
sauce?

thanks
Don't forget your umbrella!
GOOD THINKING CAT!
Frick off, cat.
"Not everyone thinks you're the best rapist ever!"
why did this become a fad again
LOL INTERNET
... I may not be remembering right, but I don't think Sagwa was all that weird
it wasn't
but "Sagwa wasn't all that weird." won't generate clicks
I’ve seen a number of people refer to it as a “fever dream” simply because it was so bland and forgettable that they weren’t totally sure it existed.
I certainly agree there are many other animated programs that deserve the title “fever dream” much more, though.
It's not the most interesting pbs show but there's something unique and charming about it
When I first saw this cartoon at the age of 3 or something I was not aware China was a real place
dumb kot
If only we could all live in such a world.
>I love Panda Express. I wish China was real...
The American school system everyone.
Right? Why aren't three year olds doing better in school?
>Americans don't even have college at three year
pathetic
China is just one giant country filled with GTA npcs
Used to play all of the Sagwa games on the Radio Canada site
I remember the koi pond one
I remember the one with the mice playing instruments
aren't the mice uighur or kazakh or something
Wei.sx
Sagwa you're my best friend
Sagwa you're a little more than my best friend
no i watched it on tvo as a kid
HEY! I have a Siamese cat.
You mean you have a scream machine.
Yeah actually, he screams a fricking lot. Is that just the breed? I worry sometimes.
Just the breed. They talk a lot.
>you like cats don't you anon
what if sagwa the chinese siamese cat and martha speaks went out for girls night and went shopping and drank wine
>This was created by the writer of The Joy Luck Club
>The Joy Luck Club
I liked the book but damn, do Chinese women have to interpret EVERYTHING through the lens of some ancient Chinese folktale?
Kind of, natives do but their kids find the proverbs stuff cringey
Ancient Chinese penis
>"Chinese cat food"
>shows Korean cat food
Can Amerifats really not tell the difference between Hangul and CJKV characters?
Imported Chinese cat food, a Chinese food product in Korea hence the Hangul
Oh shit...he looks like the cook in the show!
DON’T FORGET YOUR UMBRELLA
I literally had a homemade Sagwa costume as a kid, a felt version of the collar and cat ears.
The worst part was, I'm a boy
>I thought us mexicans liked food spicy, but this is ridiculous.
- Visiting mexican dignitary after the cats accidentally dump a whole bunch of pepper ino his food.
What time period did Sagwa take place in?
Guess would be the 1700s to 1800s
There's one episode where a Brit or Frenchman or something visits
1800s seems appropriate
Italian. His grandpa was marco polo or something
Qing Dynasty China, I think, probably 19th Century.
Even though they're more or less background characters, the humans in the show are actually funnier than the main cast of animals. Sagwa and her family are owned by a Chinese magistrate, basically the mayor/judge of this little village. He's a complete doofus who just wants to lay about and eat and let his servants run the place for him.

So The Magistrate's kids probably got butchered either by the Japanese or by Mao's cultural revolution. If they were lucky they escaped to Taiwan.
Why 19th century? That just seems so specific
I always assumed it was like ancient china
I'm half tempted to watch this show for the cat. Wtf is it so hot?
She's 6.
Yeah, that means she's a cougar moron.
Hot
which is nearing middle age for cats
OH GOD SHE'S A HAG
She just ripens with age
i think it's her soft fluffy fur that's so appealing
Well at least this means it wasn't popular enough to get a soulless reboot 20 years later
YET
what would nu-sagwa look like
Look how they massacred my boy
Probably really good if it's government funded
Which government?
you know which one
Someone draw communist sagwa
What the frick did they do to my boy Clifford the Big Red Machine?
what the frick did they do to them
She advocates for segregation in this video
So does Sagwa
Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Manchu of the Six Banners Cat
As a kid i wanted to frick the bat
you weird motherfricker
how has she not been eaten yet
She's too powerful and they stopped sending men to apprehend her
Yeah now I'm remembering that episode where she single handily fought back the entirety of the Taiping rebellion.
wasn't this a pbs show? I used to watch jt
Yep.
Someone told me 'sagwa' roughly means 'moron' in chinese.
Not a direct translation, I remember it's actual translation is something more innocuous sounding, but it's used in the same context
do you mean 傻瓜? which literally translate to "silly melon"? it's a playful way of calling someone a dummy
Would you still get a blowjob from her even with a sandpaper tongue?
Sounds good to me
Running my fingers through her soft fur would be enough to make me cum hands free
You better stop that shit before you star in a liveleak video
Now I'm remembering that video of that woman getting her pussy licked by her cat
I was never a furry, but the Khajits always had me acting up a little. Skyrim was always meant to be a coomer game.
wtf
Frick off normalgay.
I only ever sat through 2 or 3 Sagwa episodes. It was alright, but I was like 14 or 15 and I never liked cats all that much. Still, a pretty neat prehistoric China show.
>prehistoric
I think you need to reread that word's definition
I think he was being hyperbolic.
That's a strange thing to be hyperbolic about
Fever dream? I remember it being a pretty benign, mellow show about some cute cats.
Why is she Chinese instead of Thai if she's a Siamese cat?
Do you really want to watch a cartoon about thailand?
>sagwa visits modern china
What would happen?
She'll be on drying rack in some Chinese ghetto food stand.
>aiyaaa, marx's ideas spread all the way to the east?
A cartoon about Female Muay Thai would be cash.
Sagwa gets fit and starts practicing martial arts
Her brother does kung fu, I'm sure there's an episode where she does this
there was an anime ova called akane's high kick that was about kickboxing. maybe not muay thai exactly but close enough
I mostly remember the theme song of this show and not really any episodes
Same here
I don’t know why the melody is stuck in my head after all these years
The song's so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics
Weren’t the lyrics in Chinese?
It's a collective fever dream because kids only watched it when they were too sick to go to school.
I love playing the theme song on my flute. Very fun, love the oriental sound.
that's awesome
What was Sagwa weird or something, I remember watching it as a kid
It isn't like Spongebob where every episode became a meme so people aren't sure it even happened because their experiences aren't being constantly validated.
>is that a semi-obscure thing from 15-20 years ago I watched as a 5-10 year old kid?
>WHOAAAAAA I THOUGHT THAT WAS LE HECKIN' FEVER DREAM XD NO WAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REAL HAHA ANYBODY ELSE?
I despise the term "fever dream" now.
>cats.. from china? no way that's a completely implausible concept i must've hallucinated the entire thing
To be fair there's never been a cartoon made about cats before.
ive only ever heard of this show from da pages full of circle tool inflation drawings
does she end up getting eaten?
In the series finale they allude to it
And yes, this show does, in fact, air on PBS Kids
>normalgays discover sagwa
It wasn't even weird
>DUDE TALKING CHINESE CAT
seriously there are more weirder things in animation
Normies have cable to ignore PBS.
YouTubegays will call anything a fever dream now, they don't understand true art because all of their minds are corrupted by talentless milquetoast nonsense.
perhaps
>that episode where Sagwa got addicted to opium
>Sagwa eats gutter oil and gets stomach flu
Will PBS ever make a show with this much SOVL again
Did the emperor ever actually show up or was he always an offscreen presence?
There was one episode with him I'm pretty sure
Then again, it's might've just been a fever dream
Yeah but did he actually show up in that episode or was it just an episode about getting ready for the emperor to visit without him actually visiting?
No he didn't actually make an appearance
Maybe the real emperor was the palace we cleaned along the way?
>sagwa will never be real
>you will never run your fingers through her soft fur as she comes bounding up to you
>you will never hear about her day at the palace and her adventures outside
>you will never congratulate her on her wonderful calligraphy
>you will never stroke her fur as she falls asleep in your lap
>you will never call her a good kitty
I keep forgetting that the cats could potentially COMMUNICATE with humans with calligraphy since they can read.
Whoa that's so crazy, must have been a fever dream.
the bullshit "science" these cultists use to explain away their errors, lmao
Yes
>collective fever dream?
Like candle cove?
This is one of those shows I haven't watched since I was in preschool/kindergarten and don't remember jack shit about but still randomly pops into my head once in a long while. Same goes for shows like Stanley and Zoboomafoo.
I think its cute how her and her sibling's "marks" are permanent Chinese Ink remnants
DON'T FORGET YOUR UMBRELLA!
Why do so many chinks have western names?
