Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures

*Wildcat* · 06-29-2013, 01:54 AM

So who else is watching this? There was already topic for it but it seems to have got bumped off the board entirely.

I think its pretty good. Ive been enjoying it more than I thought I would. At first it seems like any other kids action cartoon but when you think about it, based on a game with no story and a character that eats fruit, pellets and ghosts, it works imo.

My only complaint is there are quite a few fart jokes. Im not offended by it but it seems really out of place. I think whats funnier is they thought Pac-Man needed fart jokes in the first place. Its just strange.

this is possibly one of the better cartoon based video games since alot of tv shows based on games range from bad to decent.

I've just started watching this show, and I think it's pretty good.

*triplexxx* · 06-29-2013, 09:50 PM

I think it's a very lovable show, very exciting and fun, love the personalities & colorfulness of the characters, and the comedy too, suppose I could do without the gross-type humor, but there's more than enough redeeming factors. Really love the 5th episode, makes me famished warching it. Love hearing those classic voice actors like Samuel Vincent, Ian James Corlett, Matt Hill, etc. Such funny names they give the villains in this show.

I Like it, but it could be better. But I still like it! And didn't 19thCenturyGhost make this thread awhile back?

*Wildcat* · 06-30-2013, 01:27 AM

Well like I said I remember there being a thread to announce it but I looked through the pages and couldn't find it. Even did a search and nothing showed up.

I was just curious what other people thought of it. Its IMDB page only has 1 post from awhile ago.

On a side note theyre making Knex Pac-Man sets based on this cartoon. I wouldn't mind having the one with the Pac-Man figure.

I wonder what the ratings are? I imagine decent considering that there's a Tv Tropes page for it already.

Wait, what? There's a new Pac-Man cartoon? How have I not heard of this? I actually feel embarrassed not knowing, especially since I consider myself a HUGE Pac-fan (even have Pac, Inky, Blinky & Clyde tattoos)...

Yeah. It airs on Disney XD. It's about this orphan kid named Pacster who along with his friends is trying to stop the evil Gen. Betrayus (the king of the underworld who was stripped of his body). Inky, Blinky, and Clyde have a sister in this one named Pinky.

This Pac-Man cartoon is okay, but I still the 80's Pac-Man cartoon better.

Luke795 · 07-08-2013, 07:05 PM

Is Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on a break now?

Well 14 eps have aired so it'll probably be in rerun mode for a bit.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 08-19-2013, 10:33 AM

I actually like this show a lot. It's tone takes me back to my early teenage years when I would watch Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and Sonic X. It's actually just like those shows except in CG animation as opposed to anime. I believe it uses the same exact models from the more recent games like Pac-Man Party. I haven't watched much of the 80s toon outside the Christmas episode but I don't know how well that cartoon holds up.

I know I'm the minority on this but I actually like Pac's new design.

arizvega · 08-19-2013, 10:36 AM

I'm watching it!

Im with you on all of this.

I too haven't really seen the first Pac-Man cartoon except the Christmas episode that airs every year. Also I loved Kirby Right Back at Ya!

Ive always liked 3D Pac-Man's look too. I mean its not much different from when it updated in the Playstation era.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 09-23-2013, 05:25 PM

The most interesting aspect about this show is the different abilities Pac-Man can utilize. Interesting power ups such as fire, ice, chameleon, etc. These would be great additions to a future Pac-Man platformer. Hopefully that new game based on the show turns out to be good. Probably the closest we'll ever get to a 3D Kirby game.

*Wildcat* · 09-24-2013, 02:44 AM

^ Ya it'll probably be the closest to a 3D Kirby for now anyway. Not sure if Nintendo is against a 3D Kirby.

My only major complaint, which I mentioned but it really annoys me, are the fart jokes. Theres at least 1 per episode or more. Im not offended its just really stupid that they think Pac-Man needs them. I cant think of another cartoon that relies so much on fart jokes. Its just very strange.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 09-25-2013, 01:45 PM

Yeah, I really think the fart jokes are getting really old. I really hate how modern kids cartoons are relying on that style of humor.

*triplexxx* · 10-28-2013, 12:45 AM

I like how lately they've been delving into the mystery of Pacman's parents' fate and whereabouts, the temple of slime, the Pacinator, Paclantis, and now Apex. Can't wait to see how that storyline concludes. Skeebo may be a schmuck, but he certainly has a lovely singing voice, bet no one saw that coming.
