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.
