    The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

    I got a chance to check this out some years ago from a friend, along with the original RGB cartoon series which this is supposed to be a followup of. The could recall that the movies were nice but I'm not really interested in the whole thing. The RGB series seemed to be passable for today's audience but the XGB series was really good and really unique. Without any fanfare, personal interests or bias I can confidently state that this is certainly one of the best, if not the best animated shows I've ever seen. What I found really unique was this series could easily exceed any positive impression of the good cartoons of the 1980s. The reason that the latter made such a major impact was because there were no video or computer games during that time. The audience was also less cynical and less spoilt for choice and quality. XGB however, released at the peak time of the Computer games industry especially during the Duke and Quake sagas and also during a period where consoles were also very popular. Time constraints on potential audiences could have cost it some commercial success but for individuals who saw this, XGB would not have failed to impress. Everything about this show is good but I particularly adored the character design and depth. The whole behavior and premise is not only intelligent but also very likable. This series is perhaps a little bit too intelligent, mature and even violent for children or younger audiences and I feel that they should have mentioned it. This show is mainly for teens and adults. The problem is that it leaves you begging for more but you have to settle for just one season. Recommended but potentially addictive, even if not, it is still a brilliant piece of animation that represents what cartoon history's peak looked like before offensive/adult humor took over.

    What a rarity indeed. You don't see developers taking so many unusual and questionable approaches towards making a show like this and yet coming out with such a winner and ground breaker. While the characters in the inferior RGB series of 1986 presented a good standard which was difficult to meet, the creators of XGB have not only met but also beaten those standards in every way. They have truly achieved new standards when it comes to characters, episode writing and animation. Weighing strengths against weaknesses, this is not just the best cartoon of the 1990s but also easily the best cartoon ever made. One of the best things about it is that it can be both utter fun and so extremely mature at the same time. Problem is that you have to be pretty fortunate to come across it today. I hope that they'll release the DVD soon. This one is a real treat for Ghostbuster fans too.

    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.
