Huntik: Secrets and Seekers

(Quotes from HUNTIK Forums)

Why I like the show: it's entertaining, has cool fight scenes, magic and monsters ( I am a real sucker for fantasy. ) and somehow manages not to be overwhelmingly cliche even with an apparently overdone plot and characters. It even has witty lines. Yes, isn't that amazing? ; D

What could have been better: the animation. Sometimes the characters' faces or action sequences were kind of odd or awkward.

I'm not really into the fantasy type of shows, but there's something different about Huntik that I can't quite put my finger on. It could be the opening theme, which can play for hours in my head and I'll still not get tired of it.

I have to agree that the animation is average and some lines can get really weird & awkward. In the opening theme, the scene where Grier fought Dante and tripped was plain awkward but hilarious on hindsight.

Whatever it is, I'm still looking forward to season 2.

Cherit's voice ( -brick'd- XD ).
- Firey

The most annoying voice ever. He's voiced by Dante's VA, btw.

Usually when I'm watching an episode of a show on the Internet I'll fast forward it past the opening song but I don't do that for Huntik.
- Firey

Yeah, I noticed that too. My brother won't admit it, but he hangs around the TV whenever the Huntik opening's on.
Maddie Blaustein shared the role of Cherit's voice. I think Marc Thompson took over after that because she died.
- Firey

Oh no... I didn't know that. :'(

After having watching most episodes of Huntik thus far, I have discovered many "What the hell?!" moments:
(Warning: may contain spoilers)
  • Cherit's voice sounds like someone scratching his/her nails across the chalkboard. And Cherit is voiced by the voice actor of Dante.
  • The characters like to talk and interrupt each other a lot. There's almost no time where someone isn't talking. Dialogue is rushed.
  • Zhalia has a weird laugh (reminds me of Sokka in Avatar; the Boiling Rock episodes).
  • Zhalia & Sophie flinging themselves at Dante & Lok is just awkward and so unlike them.
  • Lok/Sophie & Dante/Zhalia's relationships progressed too suddenly.
One more thing, I just can't stand Dante's moustache-goatee, so I took the liberty of removing it.
 
Look over there. >>>>>
Much better, no?

Makes him look like a young punk lol

So true. I wonder if that'll ever happen in Season 2. It would put Lok to shame. XD

Gangsta'-Dante? Uh, no, sorry.
( Is it just me or does Dante not look like Dante without his moustache-goatee...thing? )
- Firey

It's the look. Every character has the look. Would Mr T. have his look if he did not have his rings and chains?
- arkwayz3

He probably looked like that when he was around Lok's age.
