WHAT'S NEW?
9/18/12 - It's been a long time since I last updated this place, right? Animation Magazine released their latest issue and they contain updates from MIPCOM Jr. Anyone planning to go France to check out the event? The event will be held next month starting October 6 and 7. For more information, click here.
By the way, remember the advertising contest for Animation Magazine's 25th anniversary? Turns out that Marathon Media's entry didn't make it but it was placed as a runner-up. It's actually an old news but you might want to check this article here. I'm really surprised about that article especially one of their studios is located in the Philippines. Cool!
If you're asking me if Monster Buster Club's coming up to MIPCOM Jr., I'd say no and unlikely to get a comeback. Instead, Marathon plans to reveal the new season of Totally Spies but then we'll never know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To support Marathon's entry, visit Animation Magazine's website here and choose Marathon Media's poster. The winner of the contest will receive a special two-page spread in the MIPCOM/September issue of Animation Magazine. The deadline of the contest is on around May 2012 so vote Marathon right away!
- Seems that Disney XD France will continue airing more Monster Buster Club episodes. The show airs everyday around 21:35 CEST (9:35 PM). If you live in France, that is. I also updated the official art page here.
- I reuploaded Marathon's PDF presentation of MBC. The Megaupload link is gone and the file has been moved to other file sharing site. You can download the presentation here. You'll need Adobe Reader 8 or higher to read it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/19/12 - Marathon posted their show's schedules in different channels in their official website. If you live in France, now's your chance to tune in to Monster Buster Club and other shows you like. Disney XD France opens MBC section in their site.
NEWS EDIT: You probably heard from the internet or news that there's a bill called SOPA, right? It's not (yet) actually passed, but many file sharing sites have been shut down or increase their download policies. Sadly, Megaupload is closed and many MBC episodes there are deleted. I still can't imagine what will happen if SOPA becomes a law. Sure, it will help prevent the increase online piracy, but it will affect many sites (like fansites) that uses sources without permission. Freedom is limited, after all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/10/11 - Enjoy watching some MBC videos 'cause Trailers and Videos page is now available. I compiled a list of promotional trailers and opening themes of Monster Buster Club available on the 'net.
- This site's episode guides now have the French episode titles and their English translation. With the help of Google France, I manage to find the episode titles in French and I found out that they're very different compare to English version.
- Some of this site's past updates are missing. Perhaps I accidentally deleted them or what. If you scroll this page to the bottom, you can see "Click Here For The News Archives" button for past updates. I put it to save this page's space. However, I can't remember what kind of previous updates I made before and I don't have much time to figure them out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/30/11 - Prepare your tissues 'cause MBC is now off-air in YTV!
"WHAAAAAAT!?!?"
That's right. It's really disappointing YTV stopped airing the show after "The End Of Everything (Part Two)" and they replaced "League Of Super Evil". I'm not sure if Marathon's going to make another season of MBC now they're working on other of their animated works. So, does this mean we're allowed to upload or see full MBC episodes on Youtube?
Besides Marathon, the company's first website (marathon.fr) has been reformatted and their show's individual websites have been moved to marathon-media.fr, including their presentation. Presentation, eh? I happened to save the MBC PDF presentation, as well as from Martin Mystery and Gormiti in my PC. You can download the MBC presentation in this site. You must have at least Adobe Reader 8 or higher to see the contents.
I'm still looking for a volunteer who can read and understand French. There's a lack of content in this fansite...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/28/11 - The official and concept arts of the show have their own page here. Collecting images are ongoing and right now I gathered a lot of pictures from the official websites. Also, the staff from Marathon Media updated their TotalYOO website! They also uploaded more MBC coloring pages (which I still have to figure out how to get their high-resolution format), games, website backgrounds and videos. Don't forget to vote "Monster Buster Club" on the website's poll, which you can see it in the lower right corner every time you explore the site.
Lastly, I'm looking for a volunteer who's able to read and understand French. I'd like to know more about the French dubbers of the show as well as the names of the episodes. If anyone can help out in those categories, I'd appreciate it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/4/11 - I uploaded some official MBC art at this site. Click here to check them out. They only have few but I'll make sure to upload more soon. School's getting me busy, you know. I also change the name "DOWNLOADS" into "MULTIMEDIA" after I created the Official Art page.
- Since the show has been canceled around few years ago, the MBC fandom is barely noticed. Not to worry though, if you're a new MBC fan feel free to check out this fansite. I'm still thinking of putting great things to keep this site alive, as well as the MBC fan community, so stay tuned!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6/27/11 - Many MBC episodes in Youtube are deleted! I know it's really disappointing especially those episodes (in English dub, of course) are difficult to find. If you're asking me where you could download them, just check out my FAQ page for details.
- I changed the name "The Monster Buster Club A-Database" into "The Monster Buster Club Alien Archives". Check out that page for more details. I also updated the MBC Merchandise page.
- For the YTV viewers, YTV will take a break airing MBC on July 01, 2011 (Fridays) and they're focusing on airing "Scaredy Squirrel" marathon instead. Not to worry, the MBC will resume airing next episodes on July 4, 2011 (Monday).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5/18/11 - YTV's going to air "Goodbye Earth" on Friday (May 20, 2011) at 2:05 PM EST. If you see that episode for the first time and you wonder "What will happen to the MBC?" after that, let's just say you can read this interview here (especially the last question) for answers.
NEWS EDIT: As of May 18, YTV will repeat MBC from the first episode ("Mindreader"). It looks like they're not going to air "Popular Kids" this week, after all. For full schedule of airing MBC, click here to enter YTV's official site, then click "See Full Schedule".
- An animator from Crest Animation Studios presented his MBC demo reel on Youtube. Click here to see it.
- Now I'm getting confused. Once again, a lot of MBC episodes from BoneMarks are deleted. To add another problem without warning, Youtube terminated that person's account. I decided not to link some videos here because I expected that Marathon will take them down, anyway. At least, there are some Season Two episodes available. I'm just hoping that Marathon will have some interest putting English-dubbed series on DVD.
- I created a banner for this place. I know the design I made is plain and simple, but it doesn't matter. Probably, you might think that this home page contains pure texts but there's navigation on the left for pictures.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5/2/11 - BoneMark's videos are restored, including MBC episodes. Perhaps Marathon allows users to upload their shows like old favorites Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery (Some of them are around two or three years old). If you are unable to see the episodes, be patient or use other web browsers. On the other hand, I found a French MBC music video courtesy of Tfou.fr Podcast. Click here to view the video.

4/25/11 - Sad news to everyone who watched MBC on Youtube. Many episodes uploaded by BoneMarks are deleted by Marathon and Youtube because of the third-party license. Youtube's really fun to watch but I know it's very illegal to upload episodes, especially high-quality ones. Most of the screen shots I got came from that person's videos. There's also good news: Somebody's trying to re-upload some Season One episodes (they're edited and in low resolution) so you better search them right away...
- If you live in Canada and have YTV, this is the schedule or airing MBC episodes according to YTV website and their production numbers. Of course, time slots haven't changed (2:05 PM EST). Reminder, the schedules I made might be inaccurate but still they are present to view the next few days. Huh, don't have time to watch because of school or work? I heard you can record those episodes if you have TV that is able to capture those to watch them later on.

It seems that there are a lot of episodes left. I don't know if YTV's going to replace another show after MBC. If you watched "Goodbye Earth" before and you're wondering what will happen to MBC after that, click here. Just scroll down that page and you'll find answers. By the way, MBC is no longer on Disney XD as of April 2011.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/18/11 - Another interview with Charles-Henri Moarbes is up to this site! Click here to check out the fan's questions and Mr. Moarbes' answers about the show. Oh, you can download the document version here in case you want to keep or print it for archives. You'll need Microsoft Word 2007 to read that.
- Updated the Characters, Gadgets and Weapons, and External Links pages. I also added the names of foreign dubbers of the show in Voice Artists page.
- It looks like the Monster Buster Club's official website is working. Its domain name is changed but it doesn't have any new updates. I moved the External Links to the Information navigation if you want to discover more about MBC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/28/11 - I made some minor updates: I shortened some Season One episode's summaries since the summaries I made before contain spoilers (no, not the the alien invaders in "Famous Four"!). I also updated the Voice Artist, Coloring Pages, Gadgets and Weapons, Merchandise, Characters and FAQ pages.
- It looks like there's a problem in Monster Buster Club's official site. I hope Marathon will fix that problem, especially that's the only place where some details of main characters are revealed.
- I found the TF1's Monster Buster Club clip here. There's even a small music video that's really fun to listen to even its language is French.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/10/11 - There's a wonderful surprise - the executive producer of MBC, Charles-Henri Moarbes visited this site! Check out the interview I did with him here. Thanks so much to Charles-Henri for the interview and the correction about Head Of Production (Claude Coyaut and Ulrik Frémont)!!
- Monster Buster Club video game is now available to download in Europe since March 4! Speaking of video game, there's already a review here from Nintendo Life.
- I found two sample animations of MBC from this blog here and here. They're from the episode "Fitness Freak".
- Added three MBC fansites in External Links section.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2/26/11 - Nintendo officially announced that the Monster Buster Club video game will come out on February 28, 2011! Only two days left and waiting's over. You must have Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL to get the MBC video game online. For more details about the game, click here. Visit Nintendo's official website here on how to get the game.
- Edited many grammars in A-Database section. I also updated the Merchandise section.
- Added mentioned characters in the Characters guide. I made some grid lines in this page so you can read this site's past updates without hassle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/19/10 - Added the Rules Of MBC section in case if you want to find out about the policies of the club.
- Ten background pictures added to MBC Concept Art section.
- I also updated the Gadget and Weapons section, A-Database section, as well as some Season One and Season Two episode guides. Pardon me if you notice there are some text changes I mentioned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/05/11 - I added another official site in the External Links section.
- If you want to support and see the latest updates about Monster Buster Club and other Marathon animated series (e.g. Totally Spies, Gormiti, Martin Mystery and The Famous 5: On The Case), check out Marathon's official Facebook fan page at this site. You can also see the high-quality sample screenshots of MBC there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/02/11 - There's a video about behind the scenes of MBC at this site here. Go to http://kario-khan.blogspot.com/ to check out some commentaries and caricatures that are related to MBC. Anyone who understands French? I tried Google Translate but I don't think it has 100% accurate translation. One of that site's blog entries said there's suppose to be a brand new season of MBC, despite of all the "problems" in the last two years. Like I said, the translation is not completely accurate and it's still unconfirmed by the press.
- I found out the demo reel version of MBC from Crest Animation Studios. Click here and choose "Monster Buster Club". Believe it or not, the demo's intro is different to the intro we usually see in the series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/01/11 - Happy New Year, fellow Monster Buster Club fans! There's something I have to tell you. First of all, I edited many episode notes, characters, and other information in this site. Another is as of this year, Monster Buster Club is now on weekday afternoons on YTV (Don't forget to check out their TV schedules here). Their schedule is now on 2:05 PM EST. For Disney XD viewers, MBC seems to be off-air and replaced by Jimmy Two-Shoes. Note: The schedules in YTV and Disney XD might change or disappear so make sure you'll check out their official websites.
- If you're in the Philippines, I suppose you have to wait Q channel 11 to re-air Monster Buster Club. There's a possibility that network will turn into all-news channel sometime (or so, according to what I heard on the 'net) around this year.
