THE PAC IS BACK! Pac-man's latest cartoon since The 80's series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2r-GBn3e3o What are your thoughts on this new Disney XD series? Looks promising after 3 episodes.

Well, since Pac-man is the only yellow pac in this cartoon(So this is kind of like underlined racism)he's the only one that can eat ghost. Everyone else just uses "Ghostbusters" like blasters and stuff or, like Spiral, punch them. Also, Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde are on this version of Pac-man's side. Cringeworthy, but not too bad, considering what was the plot in Pac-man world 3.

Here's one half of Today's episode. I haven't seen it yet, and hope to catch the rerun at 2am. (I CAN MAKE TIME!)grin Here's hoping some hardcore Namco fans enjoy this show more than me.

Unfourtunatly, yes. It was slated to air on Nickelodeon, but I guess they would rather buy the rights to make a series about game characters no one ever wanted on tv http://www.nickutopia.com/2013/03/06/nickelodeon-rabbids-tv-show/ than an iconic character even non-gamers can reconize. Show's not too bad, if you lose your nostalgic rage and just accept this Pac maybe(hopefully)a college-age Pac-man Jr.

... didn't this show get announced on news sites like months ago, and then it was never heard from again until now?? Boy, that must've been some huge licensing hell.

If you're talking about Pac-man, IDK. If you're talking about Rabbids, probably. Like the last time I remember hearing about a series being made for those Bugs Bunny basterds was like back in 2011!

What role was Andrea Libman voicing again? Also, didn't she mention that she was voicing Maya from Maya the Bee? When are they going to air Maya the Bee?

1. Probably Cylindria or Pinky, since they both do sound like Pinkie pie in some ways. 2. I have no idea what Maya the bee is. If you could give me a link to a synosis or a picture of this "fat bee", that would be great.

Maya the Bee, is a German Book,comic book series about a bee named "Maya". It was first written in 1912 by Waldemar Bonsels, then the series got an anime adaptation called Maya The Bee which was made in Japan in the 1970s. Which later got a German and English dub. The series is very popular in Germany. I remember during one of at last year's Bronycon voice actors panel. That Andrea mentioned that she will be voicing the title character in a new upcoming series.

OHHHHHHH. Well today's episode was something of cliche turned fresh. All it did was made me hungry.

It's really not as bad a series as people said it would be. Brings a new twist on Pac-Man, really. Not to mention it has good animation.

[up]That's good to hear - However, I just don't see myself watching it, sadly - it doesn't look or feel like anything memorable, unless it continues to flip cliches and unnecessary aesops on their heads proper.

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

Unnecessary aesops? I think the moral of "Over-eating and gluttony" is a tired and true storyline, but very importaint for overweight kids[lol] To be honest, I thought "Let's make Pac-man, the original everlasting eater, full!" was a stupid plot due to what you can do in the games.

The most ironic thing happened this morning: I was watching the episode "All you can eat" while fliping back to Daria's "Arts and crass". They both summed up perfectly with what the main moral was. Weird...tongue

@Shop: Yeaaaaah, it doesn't seem to attract much of attention in this site despite being fricking Pac-man cartoon tongue I mean I'd think that is enough of a reason to pay attention to it

[up]To be frank, Pac Man isn't exactly something that gains followers—more like people who say, "Oh yeah, I loved playing that when I was a kid/in the arcade/etc."

Here's hoping some hardcore Namco fans enjoy this show more than me.
Those exist?

[up]If there's such a thing as world record holder for "Donkey Kong", then there must be some dedicated Namco fans somewhere in the world(Japan).

EDIT: also, it's to be enjoyed by fans new and old. I guess mostly new, because I can't see a guy from the 80's enjoying it's "Sonic The Hedgehog" like style.

There's a video game tie-in being developed if anyone cares.

Yes, we know, it was announced months ago and was discussed in its own thread...somewhere. I think in the Video Games subforum.

The 80's Pac-Man cartoon was, arguably, the first American cartoon to be based on a toy since the FCC ban on that very thing had been lifted (an argument could be made that the first was actually Strawberry Shortcake, whose product line included toys, but six of one, half a dozen of the other). The commercial breaks were longer than normal because they had some many advertisers who wanted time on the show.
