Honestly, I was rather interested into seeing where this would go. Upon seeing the trailer, I felt it would be another unlikely hero/chosen one story. Don't get me wrong, it definitely is, but I find out animation writers Paul Rugg and Tom Ruegger wrote for this show, the same guys who wrote for Animaniacs. Upon that, this peaked my interest.
The story is that Pac-Man, a resident of Pac-World accidentally unlocks the sealed door to the Netherworld where the ghosts reside and run uppity. Pac-Man finds out he is the only one who can stop the ghosts from regaining their bodies and taking over the world (OF COURSE!) because...he's yellow. Along with the help of his friends, Spiral whom I assume is the muscle, Cylindria, whom I assume is the brains, the professor, Sir Cumference (...ugh), and the Tree of Life which is the source of their superpowers, they must protect Pac-World from the ghost take over.
Honestly, this new adaptation to the world-famous game character is...okay. It's not god awful, but it's not great. The animation is fun to watch, the Netherworld looks pretty cool, although I have not seen this show in stereoscopic 3D, I love the idea of the four main ghosts being double agents for the Pac-World, they kinda steal the show and that Pinky has a crush on Pac-Man (Yes, it happened in the games) and the show makes a few winks to the video game (Maze 256, ha ha ha) Although, it's too soon to tell as the show was just released. The jokes are hit-and-miss, nothing about the show is especially memorable, it all seems to be the standard "chosen one"/"unlikely hero" story, and in high school, no less. I'll give the show some future watches and see where it goes from there. There seems to be some creativity from this even though Pac-Man has turned into Kirby with his ravenous appetite and acquiring his powers by eating berries. But I suggest giving it a shot. Your interest in the source material is irrelevant.
(So far, 7.4 outta 10)
