Info

Based on the blockbuster films, this action-packed animated series starts a decade after the original Ghostbusters saved New York City from ghosts, goblins and ghouls. All the guys have left town, except Egon, now teaching a Paranormal Studies class at the local university. But Zuul, the all-powerful demon, has awakened from hibernation to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting masses. Desperate to recruit a new team, Egon and the plucky Janine turn to four of his teenage students: Kylie, a genius with an encyclopedic knowledge of the occult; Eduardo, a hip slacker with a crush on Kylie; Garrett, a wheelchair-bound athlete with a hot temper; and Roland, a “gentle giant” mechanical whiz. It's only a matter of time before Egon, Janine, old pal Slimer and the “kids” band together to rid the city of the evildoers.

Extreme Ghostbusters Audience Reviews

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
brickiller Technically speaking, this series represents very high end stuff and the developers have made themselves assure top notch and ground breaking quality in each and every sector such as screenplay, writing, animation style and quality, direction and voice. It is quite difficult to make out whether those sectors were engineered specifically like that or whether the quality just comes out of natural talent? The latter point is possibly reinforced through inclusion of many veteran directors, writers, designers, developers and producers in the development team. Indeed, it is quite a large gathering of veterans. But besides all these technical strengths, the real strong point of this show are its characters who one can find deeply interesting, cool, likable and realistic. Two of them have been moved in from the previous series and they too, get a fresh life. All the mentioned elements blend very nicely to make a superb viewing experience which probably earns its fans some bragging rights.
stratcori 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.
vansepe Brilliant in every way and something to treasure deeply. Lovely characters, especially Kylie. However, I must react to two stupid comments made, comparing this unfavourably against the original. If you've never seen the original series as a prepubescent, you'll never understand why people even want to compare the older one with the newer one, which is ten generations ahead in every single way in terms of quality? However, you may be victim to a differing and skewed perspective if you did.While the older series titled "The Real Ghostbusters" aka RGB derived a lot of success from the popularity of the GB-1 and 2 movies through offering continuity, this series distances itself from that original theme and introduces a brand new set of characters and new atmosphere. Older one was a fantasy but this ones closer to reality. The heart and engine running both series remains the same (for which I guess, we should credit Richard Raynis most) but the front ends are completely different. This may have invited harsh reactions from a few original fans but I wish to quote someone else who did a review on the Ghostbusters movie page,------------------------------------------------------------ The premise of "Ghostbusters" is cool, too. We want to be transported into a world in which there are ghostbusters of this kind, so much so that we're prepared to overlook the fact that we're watching fumbled comedy rather than successful fantasy. ------------------------------------------------------------He is of course, talking about the perspective of an 8 year old. The perspective of an 8 year old or any pre-pubescent blissfully enjoying the RGB series and the perspectives of the same grown man watching the same series cannot be the same. At the most, it can be blissful short term nostalgia. Add this disappointment to the fact that a superior series was derived through replacing the original favourites and making a lot of changes, one will start to feel cheated. So what would one do?React sharply and choose to ignore reality? Yes. If a complete and utter fool willing to soak his mind in the darkness of ignorance. Or choose to embrace reality instead of your own skewed perspective? Any smart person would. The solution has been well formulated as XGB, the modernised and mature side of Ghostbusting which should appeal to any fan of the empire. XGB was never marketed as a fantasy comedy anyway, but a thriller bordering on horror themes. Yet they've maintained some of the RGB charm.One must not let pre-pubescent emotional attachments with RGB rob one of common sense. In other words, XGB is the magnum opus and best effort in the Ghostbusting empire. RGB is not. It is old and it is a classic but its history and obsolete. While XGB is what the creators and need I mention, that these guys are veterans, have to be more proud of, the biggest flaw is the lack of depth, simply due to this series being restricted to just 40 episodes. As a 4 season show, the RGB offered much greater depth, even if replete with filler episodes. One must however not take into account such stuff like "Junior Ghostbusters" and "Slimer! and the RGB" which were just nonsense spin-offs.PS The animation was brilliant and not like other Sony cartoons. Jtalledo is a lying idiot.
Depp 4eva! It's really sad how this show doesn't come on anymore. It was a brilliant show...i loved it! I always watched it on cartoon network when i was young.My fave fave character was definitely Eduardo. I don't really know why...i think it was the goatee. I'm not sure but i loved him to bits. i didn't really like Kylie all that much...Eduardo was the one who stood out the most.i don't really have a fave episode...i loved all of them! I remember this episode where this guy 'married' a ghost and he doesn't like her but she likes him. I liked that episode a lot...4got the title.At times, Ghostbusters did scare me but all in all, that was one great show! Loved it!
