Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 – running time 37:14

Can an Italian animated series capture the attention of young anime fans with anime-style series and trading card game? And what do Kaji Tang and Kyle Hebert have in common? Hint: It has to do with Street Fighter and it isn't pretty.

Hima - Artist Lights, Jibaku-Kun, Tails of Symphonia, Memories.

Today we welcome new guest panelist Traci Hines, who brings a background in music and talks about her current favorite artist Lights. Miley remembers the anime that renewed her interest after a hiatus. Nicholas has been the gamer guy of late with a number of titles he doesn't want to see end such as Tails of Symphonia, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Beareres. And Roy pulls a recommendation from the Forums and watched Memories.

Review: Huntik

Huntik is a 26 episode Italian animamted series directed by Iginio Straffi. The first thirteen episodes aired in Japan in 2007. The series premiered last year in the US followed by a tie-in card game developed by Upper Deck. Huntik is an action and adventure show about a group of seekers traveling around the globe in search of ancient amulets that can invoke different types of monsters. Huntik: Secrets & Seekers is clearly geared towards a younger audience and has a relevance to anime fans due to the clear anime influenced style and tie-in trading card game seeking the success of similar games spawned by previous anime.
