I've followed the Ghostbusters from the very first day they started and kept myself on par with developments throughout the decades. The movies and the 1986 cartoon always had something special and were always charming. But it also fell short just a slight bit when it came to realism and emotion. These missing elements have successfully been implemented in this new series titled XGB, which takes the franchise to a whole new level and introduces a magnificent bunch of new characters who are truly amazing and unrivaled. As expected, the production levels are extremely high, with matchless animation and atmosphere. As I've mentioned, the characters are also very profound, likable and realistic.Combine that with very scary and realistic villains and threats plus august writing and brilliant screenplay and you end up with something truly out of this world. I would call it the best animated series ever made if it weren't for other development houses who have done fantasy epics whose base content is slightly more difficult to come up with creatively. Even so, watching this is utter rapture.It also very strange that this series is the Sony production house's only good one, with MiB perhaps being passable. The rest of the cartoons produced by Sony have been extremely bad, especially low in production values, in my humble opinion, despite their popularity. Ironically, this one, XGB in contrast, is world beating.

With Extreme Ghostbusters, the Ghostbusters franchise scores its fourth smash hit success and is quite likely the best venture of the entire franchise, although perhaps the most different. This series introduces superb new characters and some modernized weaponry (proton packs and traps). Its very sad that it lasted only for 1 season but that seems to be the idea from the beginning. During the 80s times, one had to watch 20-30 episodes of a cartoon (the good or top ones) simply in order to "digest" the concept and progress of the series. Occasionally, they'd thrown in a few good ideas, stories and action sequences and your brain is expected to put that all together over a large time frame with the bunch of viewed episodes before you can judge if what you saw or are seeing is actually good? This is not the case with XGB where each stand alone episode is a masterpiece and can be appreciated individually. The only nitpick I can think of is that like everything else, XGB is sometimes guilty of not living up to its own standards when it came to a few episodes.

Extreme Ghostbusters was and is one of the greatest shows of all time and that's already well known. Having lasted only one season may have put off a lot of people but we must realise that most good shows aren't always very long. Gorgeous and stunning Kylie Griffin is my favourite character of all time. A classic that needs to be archived. Waiting eagerly for the official DVD release! That should have been done a long time ago but then again, a customer base will take time to build. Unfortunately it is also one the last great series in Cartoon history. I doubt that the industry could pick up from there, having reached the peak. They've tried many attempts in other series to make a mature product but failed miserably and this series is unique. I hope that TV channels pick it up and play it repeatedly. 11 out of 10 stars.

EGB is a continuation and the next generation of the very popular Ghostbusters from the 80s. EGB however, meets and exceeds our high standard of expectations through the delivery of a ground breaking and phenomenal show that leaves pretty much everything else in the bin.EGB is easily the best incarnation of the Ghostbusters ever, although many changes have been made but for the better. For the very first time, the elements of full seriousness have been included. To call it incredible would be a gross understatement. Although only one season was made, it makes up for the lack of quantity through quality and superior animation.One particular episode "True face of a monster" must be the best (20 min) episode in the history of animation.My humble salute to the developers. All hail you!11/10 Stars.
