Huntik: Sophie Casterwill (Bonus)

I caught an episode of this series a couple of weekends ago and the animation impressed me so much that I had to track down and watch every episode. (It definitely helped that two of the series main characters were incredibly hot women). Eventhough I have more of a crush on the other girl in the series (the purple haired goth Zhalia Moon), I couldn't resist posting this Karate scene involving Sophie. Enjoy guys!!
























(These were capped from the beginning of Huntik episode 10)

Huntik actually turned out to be a lot of fun to watch. Despite the fact the series is packed with cliches, the plot is exciting, dramatic and action packed and the series is filled with memorable characters that the viewer can connect with (all sporting distinctive and memorable personalities of their own). You know a series has a great cast when you find yourself connecting with not only the heroes of the show but some of the villains and side characters as well. Huntik also has some of the best non-anime animation that I've seen in a while. All of the fight scenes were a pleasure to watch and there are moments when the series actually made me resist the urge to blink. (Mostly when Zhalia was on screen :-p) During the 2 day marathon I spent watching all 26 episodes back to back, I had to remind myself about the necessity of sleep. ^_^

Ok...moving back to the subject of this tribute. Sophie has a lot going for her. She's intelligent, a powerful magic user and as these caps suggest, she's a pretty powerful fighter. There's also no denying she's incredibly attractive. :-) Adding in her dry sense of humor, cute accent, and rather unique fashion sense, you've got quite the charmer. ^_^ Her feet look great too. I'd definitely love to give this mage a foot rub.

Alright, I'll probably discuss this in greater detail in my next entry (yeah I'm aiming for another end of the week entry this week), but I added a chapter involving Kallen to Mr. E's new Code Geass R1/R2 Shrinking interactive . If you want...you guys can see it as well as some other great chapters from Mr E involving the Geass girls here:

Ok everyone...that's it for tonight. Good night guys and as usual...more to come soon!!

  1. can anyone tell me that visits this site that they didnt take martial arts or yoga for this "sole" reason?

  2. Ah, that was really corny. ^^;

    Anyway, can't say I've heard of Huntik, Triton, but she definitely looks pretty. :)

  3. The Voice Actors are what made me hate this show.

  5. That brings up one of my classic memories from the 10th grade Match. I've never taken Yoga before but to expand our curriculum world culture...My entire history class was given a guest Yoga lesson. Of course once the instructor told the class to remove their footwear, I made sure that I positioned myself behind the hottest girl in class. I spent over a half hour with a nice close up view of her soles. Needless to say, I did a lot of studying. :-D

  6. Yeah Huntik is fairly new Kyle so its pretty obscure. I think its an Italian animated series. I actually found by accident by channel surfing on a rare Saturday I had off. I was so impressed with the animation that I actually watched the rest of the episode all the way through.

    Afterward I proceeded to immediately track down and watch the entire series initially just to find barefoot scenes of the incredibly (and I do mean INCREDIBLY) hot purple haired chick (not Sophie btw)to post for you guys but eventually cause the series turned out to be really exciting. Eventhough barefoot scenes of the girls turned out be really rare, I can honestly say I have no regrets about watching this series through.

    Anyway, if anyone is interested, you can find the series here.

    and just to spare anyone from having to search for the rare foot scenes (like I did). The good ones are in the beginning of episode 10 (this scene)and the end of episode 13.

  7. It's true SFD...the voice acting is a little stiff for a modern day cartoon but its definitely not the worst I've seen and I think a couple of the voice actors are pretty good (Zhalia definitely comes to mind).

    ReplyDelete
  8. It's not just the acting,It's the Actors themselves. I don't like how they sound.

    ReplyDelete
  9. great sole shot and ill look inot those episodes and

    ReplyDelete
  10. That's true, Stefan. Films (and anything else) live or die on their casting. People can actually kill a movie, never mind a dub, if they're the wrong actors/voice actors.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I think the voices on huntik are pretty good actually, mainly the girls but yeh. Sophie has an English acent but because she is well spoken and has an unusual voice she sounds really unique. Zhalia is also very good, she kinda reminds me of myself apart from the fact I don't have powers and i'm not a dustbin kid out on the streets. Can't believe we have to wait until the end of fall 2010 to see series 2. And how do you guys have a crush on a cartoon ?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I like Sophie's accent too. ^_^ Oh wow...Fall 2010...that's a massively long wait.:-( Well...at least they're planning to continue it.

    As for having crushes on Cartoons...I think it just connected to a person's imagination. People fantasize about a lot of different things i.e. celebrities, catholic school girls, russian gymnasts etc so fictional characters aren't really that much of a stretch. Especially with such a dramatic animated series like Huntik where the characters are written with personalities and feelings to make them seem realistic.

    Also with this series...judging from the way the characters look and are dressed, I think the animators/production team are trying to encourage a certain amount of attraction from the viewers for the female characters. :-D

  13. yer I agree with you.
    btw have you noticed in episode 17 that lok uses freelancer or w/e hes called to guard the amulets and then when dante is fighting the organisation he uses freelancer so they messed up a bit there because they can't both have him.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Actually tell a lie they have one each. I thought he only leant it to Lok but he actually gave it to him. they are both slightly different but not by much. If you can get more then one of each titan I don't know why they are always in such a rush to find new ones, I mean there will always be another.

    Btw how old are you? I don't mean to be too nosey but huntik is for 9-12 yr olds and im 13 so I feel a bit of a saddo for liking huntik, but I can't help it, it's so good ! lol

  16. How come it's saying I sent my messages like 4-5 hours before I sent them. like my last message says it was posted at 12:48 when I sent it around 5ish. What country does this time go by?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think some titans are rarer than others so that some they have to really rush to get.

    I'm a lot older...in my 20's. I don't get a chance to watch that many new (non-anime) cartoons lately but I made an exception with this series after seeing one of its episodes. It's very good. :-D

    I live in the New York Eastern united states time so the clock might be set according to that time. I noticed that it always seems to be an hour or two off though.

    ReplyDelete
  18. oh right.

    I live in England so that could be the reason for the time difference. I don't feel like a saddo anymore because now I know someone older then me likes it I know im not addicted to a kiddie show. No one else uses this site lol, it's like a private conva.

    btw do any of the characters really grab your attention or remind you of yourself?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yeah I really identify with a lot of the characters in the show. They all seem to have pieces of my personality especially Dante and Locke.

    Like Locke, I really love puzzles and games and I really try to form friendships with people.

    Also Dante has that type of mentor quality to him that being an older brother I see myself having.

    I also identify with Zhalia too because she a loner and has that lonely type of quality that I see myself having as well.

    My favorite character in the series is Zhalia because she's really attractive and cool.

    ReplyDelete
  20. yeh I'm an older sister so I know what you mean but my sister shoves it back in my face so I don't bother anymore.
    I am like lok a bit because im a bit of numpty like him plus i let things pass by but I don't have his self esteem. I'm really self concious and then im like zhalia apar im not very good at things like she is but her personality is alot like mine and she really reminds me of myself.

    Everyone here should join a site im on where you can just talk huntik like forever its quite cool.

    www.huntikforums.com

  21. When you say zhalia is a loner i think of her as she has people to go back to but she prefers to shut them out, she hides her true feelings unless shes reached breaking point and feels she has to reveal things. She won't do anything unless she absalutely has to. she is a loner but not in the way where no one will have her but because she prefers to be in her own company if that makes sense. she's kind of like me but i do try to hold my sarcastic tongue as much as possible unlike zhalia who has no shame attitude wise. She's pretty good with come backs too!

    ReplyDelete
  22. O_O There's a forum for Huntik...that's really cool. I'll try to join it.

    Oh yeah with Zhalia, one of the things that I really like about her is that she seems cold and sarcastic but she really cares about her friends. Deep down she's a good person but she doesn't always like to show it. The writers did a really good job of making her an interesting character to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  23. yeh, they made them unique personalities bcus normaly in a cartoon they try to give the characters personalities but they never seem real. in huntik you sort of feel how they feel if that makes any sense at all.

    Tell me if/when you have joined the forum and btw your username on it is what everyone will call you by so make sure you like it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I decided to sign up for an account. My username there is Castle. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah it really is depressing that we have to wait a year for now episodes of this show. :-(

    I guess good things are worth waiting for.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I watched episodes 19, 20, 21, 22, and 26 today, i missed them when they were on tv, they were really good,all the characters revealed their true feelings but i cnt believe sabriel is gone, she was a good friend to sophie, i mean she sacrificed herself to keep Sophie safe even though Sophie wasnt in any immediate danger bcus the professer wasn't bothered about sophie as he didnt think of her as a threat.

    ReplyDelete
  33. O_O So now that you've seen the whole series...which was your favorite episode? Yeah I thought the season finale was very exciting. I was really glad to see the two couples that I was rooting for hook up. Yeah seeing Sabriel sacrifice herself was really dramatic. I felt so bad for her when that happened.

    What do you think happened to Locke's father? Do you think he is still alive?

    I watched all the episodes back to back on youtube after seeing one of the episodes on TV. I was very impressed with the animation on the show. It turned out to be a really exciting, fun and dramatic series. I'm really glad that I decided to watch it. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  34. umm i quite like episode 20 i think it is and im not sure about Lok's father but i dont think he's dead. I did think he was the dog bcus simon sed come be my dog in a flashback but i dont think he's the dog anymore, even htough the dog can control titans.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh yeah I thought Locke's father was the dog too until the final episode because of the flashback and also the dogs had the same as Locke's father. Now it doesn't really look like it.

    I wonder what will happen in the new season. It should be really exciting. ^_^

    ReplyDelete

  53. oki doki.

    huntiks' on at 2 today woop woop it randomly stopped like a week ago, i think its bcus the private skwls went back to skwl, its on every weekend now. Also i think you should read these 2 stories someone wrote using the huntik characters, they are really good. to read the next chapter of eachstory there should be a drop arrow on the bottome right of every page. Read the lost and found one first because the second link follows on from it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. O_O Thanks very much for those links Chez. I like fanfiction a lot. :-D I just finished reading Lost and Found. It was really entertaining. The characters' personalities in the story match their personalities in the cartoon very well. Zhalia and Locke's depiction was perfect. The author did a really good job. Very exciting plot too.

    I'm going to read When Destiny calls you now. :-D

    ReplyDelete
  55. Glad you enjoyed it too, i like the way they built up the relashonships between characters like lok and zhalia, alot of trust there. I've read, lost and found,when destiny calls, and dark is the day ( you should read dark as the day aswel, it's alot shorter ), they were all written by the same person, he's a good writer. I dont know what fanfiction is lol i just stumbled across it on google, i might try and write my own huntik episode like they have, im quite good at reading and writing.

    see you on the forum .

    ReplyDelete
  56. O_O Yeah that author is really good. I'll try to read his other works as well when I get the chance.

    O_O If you ever do write your own Huntik episode, I'd definitely love to read that too as well.

    Definitely. :-)

  57. kool, yeh if i think it's any good, ive written 5 books be4, i hate all of them but my maytes love them.

    cya on the forum.

  58. The show had strong female characters. Yeah, we call Sophie "the world's most dangerous teen."

    Here's our take on it with lots of pics and a few bits of wit if you're interested:
