Terribly cheesy voice-acting, cliché villain, horribly written characters, and humor that relies on fart jokes all combine to make this lame show.
Honestly I don't understand that love for this whatsoever and the fact that someone here actually compared it to a masterpiece such as Courage the Cowardly Dog is ridiculous.
Everything apart from the animation is terrible in this show.
It's basically the Sonic Boom for Disney, relying on crap humor, a cliché terribly written plot, and flat characters that they constantly try to add depth to but honestly the characters are irredeemable. The show pretty much relies solely on the edgy teenager cliché for the characters.
Basically everything that's been done in this show was done about 10 years ago but was done far better back then.

I love this show for the clean animation and Erin Matthews' performance as PAC-MAN is amazing. Also, the stories are well written. The Ghost Gang (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde) are my favorite characters. Betrayus is also a lot of fun. Pinky and Pac-Man are one of the best couples. The only things I didn't like were two: First, Cylindria and Spiral. They are torture to me. They both interfere with the story. I really don't like them and wanted them to be taken out the story. And finally, the cruelty that sometimes appears against the Ghost Gang. Eaten or crushed. Well, my conclusion about the program is: half good, half bad.

How could they do this to Pac. They laid him out so lame. And lift him on the program to collect dust.
This was not a good site. To watch how they butchered and turned Pac into an annoying wreck is sad.
Never watch this. It's not cool. Its nothing like the game to say the least. Its too kiddie and like I said Lame. The Character all of them are uninteresting.

I forgot about this show for the past years, but it never failed me to laugh to its most scenes. I understand about people somewhat disliking this since it differs from where they think about this show like the animation and voice acting, but for me, it wasn't too bad. I actually like the design of the ghosts, like I would imagine the ghosts from the NES game that what if they have personalities and new appearances.
The protagonists are also cute and adorable to be honest. Especially Pac-man, its decent animation tops it all off and make a great contribution to Pac-man's personality. The concept of new power pellets was also interesting like giving new abilities and powers which is very helpful in the battlefield.
Overall, it's greatly decent show, I can recommend this to the kids out there or for some who love Pac-man the most.

This might be one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Nothing clever, or unique about it. First episode, is tolerable but after that, everything goes downhill. The storytelling, the animation, voice acting and your brain cells all begin to get worse after the first episode.
My preschooler loves it and that makes sense because it appears to have been created by preschoolers.

I understand the lip syncing, may be bad, and the show relies on character cliche, but focus on the good things about this show, such as:
The voice acting is at least passable.
Some hilarious moments here and there.
The characters aren't always clichéd.
There is also a bit of a great grasp of the source material, particularly Pac-Man eating the ghosts.
The computer animation is decent, although really weird at times.

My kids are addicted to this cartoon and it is absolute torture for my husband and I. I love certain cartoons (Adventure Time, Regular Show) and I find others to be pleasant tolerances (Ninja Turtles, Mystery Incorporated, Star Wars Rebels). But this cartoon makes me cringe every time it is on.
Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures centers on the daily struggle between Pac World and the lame, unfunny, annoyingly voiced ghosts from the netherworld. In fact, on the topic of voices, every voice in this cartoon is like nails on a chalkboard.
I understand that this cartoon is aimed at 7-9 old kids, but why on earth is the writing so, so terrible and preschoolish? I feel like my kids are tuned into Disney Jr., which is aimed at preschool aged kiddos. There is potential in terms of interesting story arches, but the writers entirely miss the mark. Pacman lost his parents shortly after a massive civil war that happened on Pacworld, the entire division of Pacpeople and ghosts is a result of the outcome of the war, and there are multiple backstories that are potentially dark and mysterious. The writers barely explore these subplots and it is a shame, because kids can follow sophisticated story lines. Honestly. Oh, the fart, pimple, and burping jokes are nonstop as well. Yay. fun.
Good luck staying sane if your kids run across this tripe. It is painful.

Erin Matthews hasn't really been in much before Kid vs. Kat, but I feel that she gradually became a popular VA icon with Disney XD for both that show and this one, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. Like Samurai Jack, the writers of this show are smart enough to keep up the good work more than half the time and almost always have good episodes, which makes it worth while for The Mysterious Mr. Enter to review the 10 best of all 52 of them in Admirable Animations.
Like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, this is a new show in a new generation of a toy/video game franchise that's a lot more interesting than what came before it because you can assume that original fans of Pac-Man or My Little Pony that were kids in the 1980s or 1990s grew up to make this newer version with more substance and better characters. I can even recognize Cylindria, Pinky, Inky and Skeebo as the voices of Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Snips and Soarin because I know they are the same VAs. I'm glad they found a new show after 3 seasons of MLP so they're not stuck with the same show forever and have time to voice act in another one.
Pac-Man is the Samurai Jack of the show, the noble hero who can fight almost anything, but still has his flaws and limitations. Betrayus is Aku, the hard-to-defeat villain who's very hammy. After 52 episodes, you wonder how the overall premise of the series is going to conclude and you want to see how Samurai Pac-Man eventually finally permanently removes Aku/Betrayus from existence. Let's just hope that if such a revival does come up that ties up all the loose ends from the beginning, it's not an adult audience revival like Samurai Jack, because that will really ruin what made the original kids show great and turn our hero into something really cruel and awful that even the villain would be scared to see.

I saw the fist episode in 2014 and I like it so I want to see more episodes of this Pac Man TV Series so much that I started to see all the episodes in Netflix and I loved the TV series is fun, catchy and pretty. I recommend this series to every Pac-Man fan (specially Kids from 7-12). From what is this TV show, well Pac a teenager student and his friends Cylindra and Spiral have adventures saving Pac-World from the evil ghost Betrayus and his army of ghost of the Underworld but secretly there are 4 ghosts (Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde) allies of Pac and his friends that tell Pac the evil plans of Betrayus. The only problem I found to the TV series is that I really want soon a season 3 or finally Pac find his parents

Seems that the wrong shows gets a lot a hate. Seriously, it's not even that bad. If you want truly De Niro-awful shows, then go check out The CatDog, The Mighty B, Pearlie, Sidekick, Scaredy Squirrel and The Goode Family. Sure, it may have some taste like debate situations, but that isn't going to stop it from being a terrible show. Anyways, to start the review: TPac-Man and The Ghostly Adventures is an excellent show. The acting and animation is so grand, the premise is awesome, the jokes are very funny, the action scenes are awesome and everything about this show is good. I've never seen any show that could pull of the combination of humor and action that good, but this show did it like a master. I find Andrea Libman very interesting before this show even existed. My most favorite character from the series is the awesome female buttkicker Cylindria because she is soooooo adorable. Anyways, the show deserves more love love. I hope this just as memorable as Courage the Cowardly Dog!

This show is by far the Greatest Cartoon i've ever seen.
This show is that good people. It has Great characters, A good and rather intimidating villain, and a great plot to the series.
Although i DO have some problems with people saying that this show is really bad. It's not bad at all.
People say that the characters are the worst and are really stupid. NO, No they're not. The characters are the best. Cylindria is the smartest, she helps Pac and Spiral with whatever they need, Spiral is the strongest (and tallest) of the three. he is always there to put up a fight. The Ghost Gang are the funniest and most amazing parts of the show itself.
And the villain of the show is amazing, he may act like a child at times, but that's what makes him funny. He's also one of the most Intimidating villain characters i've ever seen.
But what bugs me the most...is that People out there say...that this show doesn't go along with the Plot of the original game. and you know what? I would agree with that. The Show doesn't follow along with the game's plot, and I'll agree with that...If not for one small tiny detail, and that is the fact that THE ORIGINAL PAC-MAN GAME HAS NO PLOT!!!!
The game is just Pac-Man chasing four ghosts inside a maze and eating dots. And that's it. No Plot, or Story, to conceive of that. i mean sure it has characters, and is a well known game, but still...the game has no plot. and yet it's still successful.
The original Pac-Man Game has no plot, and don't argue with me and say "yes it does." NO IT DOESN'T!!! and I'm right, it's a plot-less, and really successful game. So saying that a cartoon doesn't go along with a video game's plot, ONE THAT HAS NO PLOT, is Completely Pointless.
I LOVE this show. I will always love this show. It's a masterpiece and i think it should continue with either another season or a movie. I recommend this show to others, and i suggest that people give this show a chance.
I really love this show, and I really do wish that the show had another season, or a theatrical Movie. It's that good people, it's that good.
I suggest you give this show a chance. I give this show a 10/10 Rating. It's the Best Show i've ever seen

I understand namco wanted to make the new pacman show for the new generation, which is understandable because pac-man was starting to be forgotten about. I've watched some episodes, and i will say this: The animation is good (S1 ep 1 part 1 and 2's are pretty good, the rest of the series is kinda mediocre but still good) the ghosts (Inky,Blinky,Pinky,Clyde) have somewhat a personality (same with pac man's friends) One problem is that the fart jokes are VERY unfunny. Especially since pac man is the one who holds that gimmick, it's gross and annoying. But overall i recommend this show if you like pac-man, it's on Netflix (it also used to air on Disney XD from 2013-2016) : )

Maybe the show's not perfect but I enjoyed the lore/worldbuilding, especially the Netherworld/ghosts! (I think the antaghostnists are the most memorable thing in the cartoon in general) The animation is pretty good too (for example Betrayus has very dynamic movements/expressions), some of the character designs are really nice and the show has quite a big cast of episodic/background characters. The visual style is pretty vibrant, colorful and recognizable. Each episode has its own plot but there's also a global storyline. If you want to give it a try, I suggest watching Episode 1 & 2, it's a bit like a 40-minute-long movie (they're connected).

To all haters of this serie.
If you don't like the serie then don't watch, same goes for videos on YouTube, if you don't like the content of the video then don't watch the video.
Commenting on the video does nothing, most of the time, the creator would just ignore it.
Also don't listen to the haters they are the evil just cuz something new happens it doesn't. Mean it's bad if you don't like something then don't do it, why would you Even do something you don't like
To all non haters, This serie was great. And I wish for a new season or maybe 2 or 3 more, who knows what happens in the future. Best regards Holdulv.
