Adding to the pool now, as I'm not sure when he's posting the high quality version.
After translation - Iowa seems to be a girl with many interests, and she understood the references the other two failed to get. Sounds like a fun shipgirl to hang out with.
With the reboot though, I feel like younger people should know Ghostbusters too. Actually, even without that, everyone who attended a Halloween party knows what Ghostbusters is.
Although, being Japan, it's a different kind of thing. Also, the reboot comes out here next week - limited release even.
Halloween parties are also a fairly new thing in Japan, and I doubt that children would dress up as a ghostbuster over say, any Sentai Hero or Kamen Rider or whatever.
So it's quite likely that only Japanese that would immediately spring to that reference would be someone who saw it in theatres on release in 1984, and is thus just over 30.

Paracite, does the Ghostbuster cartoon airs in Japan too? Cause in my case, I thought the ghostbusters starts as cartoon first (aired around 90s, ah that childhood)
It was after when one tv station plays the movie that i know it started as movie first then cartoon..so I think anyone who've born around 90s would know about ghostbusters from the cartoon, i think its pretty popular..
IMDB says that The Real Ghostbusters didn't air in Japan. And even if it did air, the competition from local shows would have been pretty massive enough that it would have likely been a footnote compared to, you know, Dragon Ball Z.

Then you remember, she is still around when the movie or the game was made.

Great - that means Ashigara is just the right age bracket. ;)

From what I understand of Iowa's speech balloon in the last panel, she was making a different reference from Ghostbusters (movie) & Luigi's Mansion (video game), hence the "too" and Suzuya & Ashigara's confusion. Possibly a vacuum cleaner ad?

She was probably just playing around, with no explicit reference in mind; though given her response to Suzuya and Ashigara the two were puzzled at a combination of the other assuming it was a different reference, and at Iowa's declaration that she like both references stated by the two of them.
