El regreso de los Cazafantasmas

It's a good tv cartoon. I enjoyed it. I think that it was kind of fun to watch a new Ghostbuster team! I would've enjoyed it more if the orginal Ghostbusters were in it. There was on epsiode where the orignal Ghostbusters were in it. But they were old so it wasn't so good. The only original Ghostbuster was Egon Spengler, Janine Melnitz, and Slimer (if you count him). All in all it is a good series. There was also one episode where Janine did some ghostbusting!

Basically, I just have to say Extreme Ghostbusters is my favorite show! I like it so much that this morning I had a dream that Extreme Ghostbusters was on and then I woke up, turned on my TV and guess what it was on! If Extreme Ghostbusters was your answer then ding ding ding! YOU WIN!!! My favorite character is Eduardo! (I have a crush on him) All in all I give Extreme Ghostbuster 11 on a scale of 10!

The Ghostbusters were quite a phenomenon when they released and for good reason. The 80s should often be considered as the golden era of animation and the Real Ghostbusters (RGB) cartoon was among it. After that, there was quite a lull and everything that followed was subpar and lacking.

The 1990s were mostly disappointing until 1997, when the XGB released. When one first sees the commercials, one says to himself "OMG!Another Ghostbusters cartoon! This is going to be huge!". When the day finally came, XGB turned out to be exactly that and more, for the first time ever, exceeding everything of equal effect in the 80s including the (now dated) RGB. We're talking bleeding edge animation here, maintaining the very same uniqueness that made the RGB stand out, only with 1 or 2 generations of evolution in standards, with serious plots replacing the purely humor-centric plots of the RGB and better characters. Are these guys, the XGB team, including Richard Raynis and Fil Barlow, Gods or what?

Some nice elements of the RGB are missing and this includes the musical sequences which was typical of 80s cartoons. However, since the sequences were never matched with visual splendor, they seemed more like surrogate time wasting tactics rather than genuine plus points. Despite this, the songs were good and were missed, although XGB filled the gaps by adding in more content and detail.

XGB represents a major evolution in visual excellence and fine experiences. Even after the series concluded, no show to date has even come close. I've even shown this to men under my command and they love it too. You'll appreciate it even more if you are into Ghostbusters in general.

In a nutshell, sophisticated viewing for sophisticated audiences.

Before the AF, I used to work in the presentation area. Our job was to scrutinize every pixel. I cannot possibly imagine how silly and downright dishonest some people are to complain about the animation here. XGB is by far, the best animated show in existence, without the use of CGI in any form. Its interesting to see how newer shows struggle with CGI+hand-drawn hybrids and still fail to match up to this one.

Compared to this, the RGB was just plain, rubbish, so poorly animated in fact, makes me want to vomit. This is true for just about every other show before it. This is like comparing the Unreal-3 game engine to Wolfenstein-3D. In XGB, there is brilliant use of lighting, coloring, shading and seamless environmental blending to make some episodes a near photographic experience. The effect of rain/precipitation in a certain episode "Bird of Prey" was truly unbelievable. Admittedly, some eps didn't have the same animation standards as others, but the overall effort was groundbreaking. The music was highly original and gripping. This is exactly what I had come to expect from a "Ghostbusters" show.

What is disappointing is the small clique of RGB-fanatics whose minds are still stuck with what they saw as children and cannot accept a brilliant extension to the original concept, thus bashing the GBs themselves in turn, for reasons that are purely fake or made-up. The truth is that those who complain about XGB or claim that RGB was better, haven't seen XGB at all. They just assume things or have downloaded grainy partial video clips off the net. Others are simply dishonest.

Some hypocrites complain about the use of "Extreme" in the name. What about the "real" in RGB? Does that sound any better or moderately mature? I suppose that would mean that there are a "fake" ghostbusters as the name implies to distance itself from? After reading a pile of nonsensical claims of RGB's superiority, I spent a good amount to purchase all the episodes on tape for further review. If your viewpoint is that of serious nature, no way does this even compare to XGB. Some supposedly highly rated episodes namely "The Boogieman cometh" and "No one comes to Lupusville" etc were just plain pointless, highly conventional and downright boring. Without wishing to point fingers, the only reason some hypocrites who wish to impose their outright biased and arrogant views on others here and on forums/message boards, are because they can't stand the fact that their old faves (Venkman, Stantz, Winston) were replaced. They can't see beyond that. Another reason is that RGB ties directly in with the two movies unlike XGB which is more distanced. If the GBs were'nt redone the way they were, it would have been quite boring as 80% of the latter eps of RGB showed quite clearly.

Let's just get something straight. XGB is serious. RGB was an out and out comedy. Apples and Oranges. Difficult to compare. However, only a completely biased omadawn would say that RGB was better. One certain reviewer even claims that that RGB's ghosts were scarier, proving that he hasn't even seen both because the RGB ghosts were purely of comical purpose. Not to put an excellent series down, but RGB was just plain outdated, pale, childish and tacky in comparison if you take a technical standpoint. The villains were never even intended to look serious in RGB (not that it is a bad thing). In XGB, they dared to take on areas others would'nt touch. Once again, this is exactly what one expect from "Ghostbusters" Yes, RGB had 120+ episodes but any serious viewer would note that after one season, the quality dropped exponentially and finally crashed. Only a handful of episodes from the first and second season were worth their salt. What you got were a few good episodes intermixed with loads of fillers for quantitative value.

Lastly, if anyone dares to mention the word "PC" in this context, he should be thrown out or banned from the respective site or forum. It is indeed an extreme offense to use that term. There are certain "questionable" elements involved that I am not going to spell out but at no point, were they unrealistic to the level that one can blame it for any (nonexistant) drop in quality. In fact, it brought in a fresh perspective into a stale genre.

I apologise for some harsh sentences but they were purely to contradict some misleading information posted for purposes beyond informing others with the honest truth. I for one am disgustingly ashamed that such people like Mr. Skavlos are also a part of the same following.

This is/was a great TV show! It was a continuation of The Real Ghostbusters cartoons, in which new teens, Eduardo, Kylie, Garrett, and Roland, uncover scientific proof that ghosts exist. Not only that, but they have equipment to catch them! Egon and Janine remain residents of the old, graffitied firehouse. But now, Egon was forced to make his students (the teens) of his class new ghost-slayers, but the old equipment was no good. Roland used his engineering genius to make NEW equipment, along with a sleek new look to Ecto-1. All in all, now Generation X has/had taken over Ghostbusters. Prepare for a wild ride to the extreme, Ghostbusters ARE back!
