Pac-World

We follow the daily events of Pac as he saves Pac-World. Together with his friends Cyli and Spiral, Pac and his buds face the issues of being teenagers while also protecting Pac-World from a ghostly army led by the evil Betrayus. Pac-Worlders do not want Betrayus and his ghostly minions returning from the Netherworld and wreaking havoc. So, President Spheros teaches Pac and his pals the legend prophesizing a round yellow Pac-Worlder rescuing the planet. Pac, the only round yellow citizen, is the man for the job. Each adventure follows Pac and his friends as they try to return the ghosts to Netherworld, saving Pac-World.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (26/52 eps)

This is not a good show. Not even a decent one. Instead of staying faithful to the source material, like other video game adaptions such as Mario and Sonic did, they went in a completely new direction and ripped off several shows in the process.

This is a prequel to the Pac-Man games, revolving around Pac-Man's teenager days instead of his usual adult self. The story is pretty much like Ben 10, but with ghosts. Pac-Man eats pellets with different super powers, but he never bothers to learn what each of them do. An evil ghost sends out other ghosts to get him, but fails ... every time. Pac-Man doesn't even need to take a power pill before eating ghosts, he can just eat them whenever he wants with no penality.

The characters are all stereotypical as well. Pac-Man acts like a teenager with an attitude (e.g. annoying), and he has a "smart" female Pac-friend for girl power reasons. And, of course, your usual sports jock shaped as a... bean? They also have a dog named "Packster" for comic relief. Then his ghostly friends... A stupid red ghost, a pink ghost in love with him. And, of course, there's a stereotypical bad guy who keeps sending ghosts after Pac-Man and his friends.

The music, however, is pretty good. It has a very "movie-esque" feel, with orchestrated themes and remixes of old music tracks from the earlier games. The English intro is one of the worst I've ever heard, with off-key singing and a slow-paced techno theme. But the Japanese version was amazing and really gets you pumped up for a very mediocre show!

The CG animation is also pretty good. The characters are full of facial expressions, they move around a lot and the frame rate is very smooth. However, the backgrounds are rather bland, as everything looks circular and like it was made out of plastic. Same goes for the props. Not many details either, as the town is pretty empty.

It's pretty much like a bad saturday morning cartoon from the 70's. Predictable plot, horrible bathroom jokes + unfunny word play, and a cast with mostly bland characters you've seen everywhere else. There is probably some enjoyment out of this for kids, but older people will hardly find anything to enjoy. There's not even any innuendo...

Yes I watched this when I was a kid, and not only did I enjoy it, but I watched the entirety of its two seasons on Netflix. In the back of my head I thought it was very corny and dumb but I still watched it out of love of playing Pac-Man on my Xbox as a kid. I owned the 3DS game and rewatched the series over once. But there not only is nothing here but it feels so textbook besides being super out there with ideas such as, bear with me, Pac-lantis. Enough said, it's got the episodic premise of a sitcom and ... doesn't even try to do its own thing besides basic Pac-Man like gimmicks. It's nothing incredibly awful, it's your average kid's show with no room for anything else.
