Ghostbusters - Volume Two:
July 3rd!

I wanted to like this, but my memory of it being a poor competitor to The Real Ghostbusters still stands. The stories are weak, the animation is similar to the animated Beatlejuice show (a good thing), and the sound quality seems substandard for the time it was made. The series also resorted to a stall tactic similar to the old Hong Kong Phooey where you get to see the same minute long transition on every episode. Get this if you want to show your 1980s nostalgia cred, but not for good tv.

I loVe this cartoon, it is based on the live action TV show. But it does not get 5 from me becasue of 1. to much repeat animation. 2. The title song is H0RRIBLE. THE WORST.
