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.

Some time in the late nineties, the quality of TV shows were getting really bad and dropping fast. You really started to miss the days of DiC, Filmation or Ruby Spears animated shows which were all very good and popular. Non-animated shows were OK and getting slightly better but only saw a great improvement towards the 21st century. Then one of the channels made an announcement of a massive bunch of quality shows coming up and the XGB were among them. The short trailer looked extremely impressive in animation and sound. Most of the new cartoons introduced by that channel weren't that great but by God, XGB was mindblowing. I imagined that it would be continuation of sorts to the well known Ghostbusters movies and cartoon and it was, in a lot of ways. It seems that the guys who made it decided to go all out when it came to quality and that was especially evident with the brilliant characters that this show introduces, to replace the old ones who were also good for their time. Of course, what are Ghostbusters without Egon and he stayed, sometimes even helped out on missions. Janine also makes a comeback, although in a much more mature model. XGB betters all the previous efforts in the franchise and has done the latter proud. It is a truly fantastic show and achievement where the experience could not easily be described by mere words alone. Although this my favorite show of all time, I can say that there is no jaundiced claim if one were to say that this show is really that damn good and the best ever. They really don't make stuff like these anymore so go and collect it fast.

Extreme Ghostbusters is and was an instant classic. I waited years for it after so many recommendations and finally it proved to be even better than expected despite my obnoxiously high standards partly fueled by dissatisfaction from second rate programming that flooded TV in those days and continues to do so these days. They don't make stuff like this anymore and they probably can't which is why ceasing the show after a single season was a very sad thing to do. Perhaps it was just packaged that way. The only time they made stuff that could vaguely compare was during the 80s golden era, but obviously no where as good as XGB. Unfortunately it does not come on any channel on TV these days, at least none that I know of.

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.
