I remember watching it a long time ago on some kids channel, but i loved it at the time and still have kind memories to this day. Edit: After this video, i will probably watch all of Huntik again in free time.
I remember and kind of wished the show could've continued given that the story left a cliffhanger that kind of hinted at the possibility that the nullifiers were going to return and I will be honest the idea of seeing the Titans battle Eldritch creatures from HP Lovecraft would be cool.
I truly miss Huntik. From the lore, to the characters, to the sweet theme song. It makes for a great D&D one-shot/ campaign setting. I never got into the card game or the comics which is a shame cause if I recall correctly they both expanded on the titans and lore of the show. But like Spider Riders, this show will just be an amazing memory for me to look back on and find pirated episodes to rewatch lol
@@LyionOfRoses Well, let me know when you haven't slept for 5 DAYS STRAIGHT, then you talk to me about sleep deprived, but the name is still spelled as Zhalia.
As an italian, Huntik has a special Place in my heart, it was the show i watched every morning before going to school. Really proud to see it appreciated abroad
I am from India and watched this in Telugu (one of 22 scheduled languages) years ago. Re watching the show recently brought back memories of childhood.
Huntik hit all the notes that Winx Club could never reach and it really felt like a more "mature" cartoon, especially in comparison to everything else Rainbow S.R.I produced. The theme song is also among the top 100 theme songs in all of animation.
I was obsessed with Huntik when I was a child. And I feel like I still am , because I clicked so fast on this video. XD The Opening Song is still one of the best I´ve heard for animation shows. And I feel like I missed some episodes, cause I didn´t recognize some characters in your video. I want to rewatch that show now! :D Dante Vale is best character though, obviously! 🤩 EDIT: Ok, I´m freaking out right now, cause I found out, I never watched season 2 and I found the episodes on youtube!! Huge Thank you for making this video, to remind me of one of my favorite shows!
@@DragonKingX78 remember some of these, but W.I.T.C.H. was a particularly big one. I honestly really liked it, the story was really interesting and so we're the characters!
I was obsessed with this series as a kid! Went so far as to seek out the later episodes on RUclips since they were never aired here. That and trying to plan a trip to the amusement park (seriously. little me wanted to visit a different country just for ONE amusement park ride)
Jordan I want to make in no uncertain terms how important Huntik is to me. The Titans are something I often credit as key inspiration for my character designs, and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities of storytelling in children's adventure cartoons back when I was a cynical kid. I cannot express how happy I am for the fact you made this video. And yes, the theme song is an absolute banger.
Me and a couple of mates organized a show night and watched both seasons of Huntik recently. This show is everything and even more than what I remembered, one word, amazing!!!
The thing i remember the most about this series (aside from the intro song) is how good of a creative decision it was to have the "outsider thrown into an urban fantasy setting" protagonist's first power be a set of wings. It lets him shine and show his personality without needing him to be some prodigy at combat or the magic system.
Straight up, I've been waiting on one of these for so long. Huntik got me into power metal via its theme song and power metal got me a life long addiction to Dungeons and Dragons. I think this show is almost as cool and Codename: Kids Next Door.
I literally love this show. Is my favorite thing I watched as a kid. I've been wanting to go back and rewatch it now for for 4th or 5th time. This was a really well done show with a lot of good episodes and something this generation in missing. I think we need more shows like this nowadays. I miss the old shows like this and really wish some of them got more attention because they definitely deserve it.
Man I really used to love this show. It was anime-inspired and had all sorts of monsters, magic, and awesome fight scenes as well as some good storytelling. Also, big shipper of Lok and Sophie. Those two are meant for one another.
Man, Italian cartoons in the early 2000s are ALL (or most) fucking gems. Huntik, Lulu de mont martre, The last of the mohican, school of vampires, Monster allergy... man i miss these shows, the openings slapped, the stories were so fucking good, the characters were all so lovable (not even just likable)...
YES! Wholeheartedly agree! The three horseman of my childhood. Winx made me obsessed with magic and found family, Angel Friends is def to blame for my enemies to lovers obsession and Huntik just gave me the epic adventures I crave from fantasy!
I showed this series to my boyfriend, and we kept joking about how it was just Persona with extra steps. But genuinely, this is one of the cartoons I fondly remember from my childhood. An age of Saturday morning cartoons we'll unfortunately never get back.
Completely forgot about it, but the thumbnail really immediately made me recognize it! The character designs at the very least are incredibly cool. I might give it a shot at some point :)
Literally one of my favorite shows. So happy you're finally covering this. Edit: So I think I learned about it through vaguely watching on CW Kids and then finishing it on Netflix. I definitely wasn’t aware of all the merch, toys, card games, and amusement park rides. In another universe Huntik became a global phenomenon and is still ongoing.
I absolutely loved Huntik. I remember they would release codes during the episodes that let you unlock titans on their website. That had me so hooked when I was younger. Made me feel like a seeker
gods this show meant so much to me, its part of the reason I'm an artist now and working my way through art school, my love for urban fantasy and interest in the myths and history of monsters. It really felt like a show gone before its time a lot like codelyoko, maybe someday we'll get a reboot of it or hopefully a conclusion.
I'm so glad you got to this Jordan! I had been looking forward to it since you said you would! Glad you loved the theme song as much as I still do!! Edit: I just went through the comments and I'm so happy to see so many others who loved the show and remember it like I do or just couldn't remember what it was called. To everyone who hasn't watched it yet, I'd 100% recommend it
Omg, for some reason my brain had literally wiped this show from my memory until I saw the thumbnail and something just clicked deep inside my subconscious. This video explained why it was wiped from my memory tho; Huntik was among the shows that I watched in my preteens right when my interests were shifting and also when my life was at its most tumultuous, and when the second season came I didn't watch cartoons anymore (I had moved on into anime). No wonder this show that I only watched one season of didn't stay in my mind.
I was really young when Huntik aired. I remembered the characters really well but not the show's name. When I got hold of internet I had to search a lot to remember the old cartoons that aired on Jetix to finally get the name. The art style was really cool and the characters were really pretty and handsome. I might have been 8 ,9 or 10 can't exactly point out the year but I had a huge crush on Dante Vale. I am sad this didn't have enough fanbase and many people didn't watch this so whenever I see someone being a fan I feel really excited to see them talk or comment on it.
I remember being excited for the premiere as a kid and then never having an opportunity to watch any other episode. It would pop into my head every so often as an adult.
So many cool shows I didn't know existed back in the day. This one would probably have been one of my favorites because of so many details I like. Definitely need to check this out. Thanks for another discovery!
as an italian who grow up watching this and many other shows, I am truly happy to see these videos that are able to bring me back such good memories. I still have saved the opening on an mp3, somewhere in my house
Huntik to this day is one of my favorite shows. I loved it as a kid especially because I just got into pokemon and this was like a more action packed pokemon for me! Sadly even though it was running in the middle of the day here in Germany at either nickelodeon or toggo no one else knew it which always confused me and made me really sad
Wow, this is the first show you've talked about on the channel I've never heard of at all. Crazy considering all the advertising and side stuff it had. It actually looked like a show I might have been into as a kid too.
I'm convinced this guy watch every show I watch in my childhood, also yeah I was a fan of the show I never knew there was a card game but the show was amazing. Your youtube channel has made me go back n watch many of the shows I watch as a kid so thanks n keep up the good work
This was my SHIT when I was younger. Here in Italy it got quite popular, since a project this ambitious coming out of italian animation is a once-in-a-decade, sometimes once-in-two-decades occurrance. It was fun, cool and it definitely scratched that shounen itch my younger self desperately craved. I can see how on the surface it would seem very derivative, and that is probably the main factor behind its downfall. But honestly, there are many small details about its world, story and characters which, when combined, really make it quite unlike anything else I've ever seen. Absolutely awesome. I hope Mr Straffi can give us at least one more show as incredible as Huntik before he retires.
I was today years-old when I first heard of Huntik, despite being a big fan of these aughties anime-esque toons back when I was a kid. Kinda bummed that I didn't know about it because little me would have been aaaaaaall over this. (Still gonna check it out, but, man, there is something magical about experiencing these things for the first time while you're a kid.)
Salve, da italiano posso dire che Huntik e stato si apprezzato in italia, ma rapidamente sconfitto in popolarità da altri cartoni (esteri e italiani) ma confermo che la fan base è sempre stata molto legata alla serie. Thank you for talking about the series. Italian cartoons from the early 2000s are... weird. they bring the nineties behind them wanting to experiment with oriental aesthetics, many people in italy do not look at them favorably. Thank you for taking the time to watch this short but enjoyable series. Only advice on the winx, after the third series have suffered a protto collapse
Huntik was THE cartoon here in Portugal when I was younger, me and my pals loved it so much. I fondly remember roleplaying Huntik with some friends, I'd always play as Dante cuz he was my favorite :P
Man, the nostalgia, if here in my country we find those action figures or card game, me and my friend would probably LOVE IT. We were so fans of it that we gave names to our barbies and kens to the team. Zhalia specially was my friends favorite. So cool to talk about it even passing all this time xD Thanks for the video! I'm going to send this to her xDD
I really liked this show when I was younger. I watched it with my best friend back in middle school. I had to move to another place after middle school, and when I visited him a couple years later, he had forgotten all about the show. He moved on and I couldn't, because I didn't make new friends as well as he did.
Huntik was such a great show, which during my childhood was definitely one of my favourite series.. I'd watch it over and over and over. I'd wanted it to continue sooo bad.
I honestly miss Huntik: Secrets & Seekers. It was a good show. I honestly wish they continued it more, but it's sad that they didn't and thanks for posting a video on it not many people do 👍
To me, the thing that set this show apart from others was that unlike other shows with a similar premise (traveling while gathering creatures to fight other creatures), the characters themselves actively fight as well, unlike say pokemon, digimon, or bakugan, where are creatures being commanded while the owners watch. It's a small thing, but I appreciate it
BRO LITERALLY GREAT CARTOON. I really liked it, concept was really unique. I'm so sad that there is no comics online to read. Also I still have TCG and it's brutally well made. I have 0 understanding how did it drop so much being left with such a small community
I can't believe season 3 didn't happen. I was in love with this show, and I couldn't wait to see how Lok would lead the team while Dante joined the ... foundation "board" ? Idk if I can call it like that I watched that in French. Would Dante and Zhalia get together at some point ? Would Sophie fulfil her destiny as a prominent member of the Casterwill dynasty ? Would Cheritt (sorry if that's misspelled) finally remember how old he is (lol) ? And Den & his brother ? Did Harisson join the Huntik team ? So many unanswered questions that will remain unanswered...
I miss Huntik secrets and seekers. After season 2 when I was 13 I waited for a 3rd season considering the end tag and yet it never came 10 years later I look at it fondly
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES, recently rewatched for nostalgia, and realized that season two looked great....for like the four episodes that WEREN'T flash animated. I was so disappointed they dropped the ball on that. But it was exactly what I wanted to watch at the time. Summoning monsters and fighting ALONGSIDE those monsters instead of them just doing everything. Love this show
Honestly, I grew up on 4kids entertainment and really missed this show. I found it on RUclips along with the Winx Club, and Sonic X. Nostalgia right there
That show was my jam. Everything I love is in there, urban fantasy : adventure, history/myths and ancient civilizations, summoning beings from another realm to fight for/with you, adorable slow burn love stories, mysteries, puzzles and traps...
I watched both seasons on Netflix a couple of years ago. I remembered the show from my childhood and I always thought that Dante was so badass. Man it didn’t disappoint rewatching the show and seeing all the episodes in the right order this time. The amulets, titans and the lore that this show revolves around are so interesting and cool. I was only a little disappointed after watching the entire show when I realized that the plot around Lok’s dad and the gate to Huntik wasn’t really properly resolved. A third season would have been nice to wrap everything up.
This show was so good. I would love to see some kind of reboot or re-airing of the show for a new audience to see because I genuinely think it had so much potential as an IP. Definitely putting Huntik on my list of shows to show my future kids alongside transformers animated and the last airbender.
This show was the whole reason I got into D&D, I had completely forget about it, but I'm so glad to see it brought up, because I can enjoy your take and some nostalgia!
I have had this on the edge of brain for a while but could not put a name to it. Then Jordan just backhands me with the answer and nostalgia. Thank you for that, it was driving me nuts
I want Iginio to continue with season 3, or make something to continue the saga. The thing that i want to know is why in the end of the last episode, we see the Red Comet still working as well as the Spiral symbol. This could be a continue to the story and I hope that can happen.I have loved Huntik since I was 5 yrs old,due today. I have hope in Iginio even if it is impossible to return to Huntik!
This video unlocked so many memories from my childhood!!! From the card game to the show itself to jamming out to the theme song, there was so much with this show that I have fond memories of. I was also always jealous of all the merch that Italy was getting that we weren’t as well, like they had collectible amulets and stuff. Writing wise I don’t know if I could confidently say it’s aged well or necessarily something I could still enjoy just as much at the age I am now, but one day I’d want to revisit it for sure
I've wondered how tf this show was called for the past 3 years because i remembered watching it a lot and thinking it was epic thanks for making this video, it was so cool going through it
Thank you for finally explaining the bit about the animation in the second season. Honestly I did lose interest after the first season but I never knew why
The memory of this show just popped into my head yesterday, and the 1st thing I remembered aside from the titans were the scenes of the huntik Foundation Council meetings and how when one of the council members couldn't make it to the meeting room a full 3D model hologram of them appeared in their stead kind of like VR chat or holo zoom also for what ever reason every 3rd word I type my phone predicts I'll put the 😳 emoji even though I've literally never used it before typing this comment
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your thoughts on Huntik: Secrets & Seekers, that is, if you even remember it all that much!
I remember watching it a long time ago on some kids channel, but i loved it at the time and still have kind memories to this day. Edit: After this video, i will probably watch all of Huntik again in free time.
Bro I wanted more of this so bad. Good Shit awesome video!
you really making me feel old
You should do a video on di gata defender
I remember and kind of wished the show could've continued given that the story left a cliffhanger that kind of hinted at the possibility that the nullifiers were going to return and I will be honest the idea of seeing the Titans battle Eldritch creatures from HP Lovecraft would be cool.

Same here I loved the series
same and now have 15 new ep to chat
Me 2
I never got into the cards but the show rocked
Huntik was basically 4 entire years of my life as a kid. Such a good show
same!
That’s shit was so good I loved this show it was so good I randomly found this show on Netflix then boom loved it.😊
So true
Same
This show is criminally underrated
It's amazing and so beautiful
Also, Dante is the reason I got into the vintage trench coats
Dante was so hot 🥵 I immediately understood why both Sophie and Thalia had a thing for him 😅
@@LyionOfRoses Dante is best character (design) for sure!🥰
@@LyionOfRoses Its spelled as Zhalia not Thalia.
@@StillSaber that spelling is a bit too much for my sleep deprived self to comprehend
@@LyionOfRoses Well, let me know when you haven't slept for 5 DAYS STRAIGHT, then you talk to me about sleep deprived, but the name is still spelled as Zhalia.
As an italian, Huntik has a special Place in my heart, it was the show i watched every morning before going to school.
Really proud to see it appreciated abroad
All the admiration for iginio straffi from lebanon, i discovered rainbow shows in french and i couldn't be more glad
I am from India and watched this in Telugu (one of 22 scheduled languages) years ago. Re watching the show recently brought back memories of childhood.
Best cartoon Of 2009
I am from the Netherlands and I used to watch this show at 7 am when I was nine years old, such good memories I have of that time.
Shame they Dutch dub is lost, it isn't on RUclips nor Netflix (2015-2020 it was) @Yami_Sake
I thought I was the only one who remembered this show!! You have to be reading our minds at this point.
I remembered the show vaguely but could never remember the name of anything, I've always wanted to rewatch it but couldn't find it.
FOR REAL
Same That show was fun to watch I thought I was one of the few people to ever remember it 😂
This is literally my favourite show as a kid and I’ve just started a rewatch so I’m overjoyed you decided to cover it
I can't remember the name it would drive me crazy anytime it pop in my head
That's why i started watching this channel
Huntik hit all the notes that Winx Club could never reach and it really felt like a more "mature" cartoon, especially in comparison to everything else Rainbow S.R.I produced.
The theme song is also among the top 100 theme songs in all of animation.
The intro slapped so hard I could never forget this show (And Dante was too badass).
The magic of Italian op. May I suggest looking for yughioh, gx and 5ds op in Italian plus most of Giorgio vanni’s op for anime.
Also the titan summoning music was neat as well. Especially blood spiral and organisation titans
Dude yes
yes the opening slaps still so good after so long
@@Serra_Sarah yep. One of the best animated early 200s intros
I was obsessed with Huntik when I was a child. And I feel like I still am , because I clicked so fast on this video. XD
The Opening Song is still one of the best I´ve heard for animation shows. And I feel like I missed some episodes, cause I didn´t recognize some characters in your video. I want to rewatch that show now! :D
Dante Vale is best character though, obviously! 🤩
EDIT: Ok, I´m freaking out right now, cause I found out, I never watched season 2 and I found the episodes on youtube!! Huge Thank you for making this video, to remind me of one of my favorite shows!
I would like to heard about another season too
I loved this show. Gone before its time. I didn't even know it had a season two
A lot of good shows ended before their time....Green Lantern (animated series), He-Man(2002), The Tick(animated), Thundercats(2011), W.I.T.C.H., etc.
@@DragonKingX78 Spectacular Spiderman (this one still hurts), Transformers animated and i still cant believe this; Inside Job
Binge watched last year

I absolutely loved this show, the primal yell in the intro was always so hilarious to me

Huntik was THE cartoon here in Portugal when I was younger, me and my pals loved it so much. I fondly remember roleplaying Huntik with some friends, I'd always play as Dante cuz he was my favorite :P
The reason why I subscribed to this channel is because of this. Chaotic, Huntik, Martin Mystery. Hahaha nostalgic kid shows
I've never even heard of this show but it automatically seems like a hidden gem.
I appreciate you so much, not remembering the name of this show has been haunting me for years thank you KING
I binged the entire show on Netflix a while back and absolutely loved it. I even bought the theme song on iTunes.
I've been trying to remember the name of this show for years.
Thank you for this.
Man, the nostalgia, if here in my country we find those action figures or card game, me and my friend would probably LOVE IT. We were so fans of it that we gave names to our barbies and kens to the team. Zhalia specially was my friends favorite. So cool to talk about it even passing all this time xD
Thanks for the video! I'm going to send this to her xDD
This just unlocked a core memory
Yeah, this used to be on Jetix where I live.
Watched that a lot while eating dinner as a kid.
I rememeber this and absolutely loved it. I should probably rewatch it
It's about DAMN TIME You made a Video of HUNTIK the best cartoon ever with the best intro theme song
I remember loving this show on Saturday morning! It felt unique and really cool! Never saw season 2, but this was such a great show!
Ah, I remember this one! It was honestly one of my favorite series back then! You truly unlocked a memory with this here!
I really liked this show when I was younger. I watched it with my best friend back in middle school. I had to move to another place after middle school, and when I visited him a couple years later, he had forgotten all about the show. He moved on and I couldn't, because I didn't make new friends as well as he did.
No freaking way you did a video of Huntik!!! This is actually awesome. Thx for another video. Too bad the show ran extra short.
Huntik was such a great show, which during my childhood was definitely one of my favourite series.. I'd watch it over and over and over. I'd wanted it to continue sooo bad.
I honestly miss Huntik: Secrets & Seekers. It was a good show. I honestly wish they continued it more, but it's sad that they didn't and thanks for posting a video on it not many people do 👍
To me, the thing that set this show apart from others was that unlike other shows with a similar premise (traveling while gathering creatures to fight other creatures), the characters themselves actively fight as well, unlike say pokemon, digimon, or bakugan, where are creatures being commanded while the owners watch. It's a small thing, but I appreciate it
BRO LITERALLY GREAT CARTOON. I really liked it, concept was really unique. I'm so sad that there is no comics online to read. Also I still have TCG and it's brutally well made. I have 0 understanding how did it drop so much being left with such a small community
Huntik was one of my favourite shows growing up I wish it got more recognition
I loved this show, I even recently made Lok's Kipperin amulet.
For anyone who still loves this show, it's on RUclips.
Man I used to love this show. This made me wanna rewatch!
THANK YOU!! THIS WAS MY FAV SHOW AS A KID AND I STILL LOVE IT. I TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME! THEY DEF DESERVED MORE SEASONS. LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Absolutely ELITE theme song I miss this show so much
I can't believe season 3 didn't happen. I was in love with this show, and I couldn't wait to see how Lok would lead the team while Dante joined the ... foundation "board" ? Idk if I can call it like that I watched that in French. Would Dante and Zhalia get together at some point ? Would Sophie fulfil her destiny as a prominent member of the Casterwill dynasty ? Would Cheritt (sorry if that's misspelled) finally remember how old he is (lol) ? And Den & his brother ? Did Harisson join the Huntik team ? So many unanswered questions that will remain unanswered...
YES! I used to love this show as a kid/teenager. It was one of my favourites!!!
This unlocked a DEEP memory
I miss Huntik secrets and seekers. After season 2 when I was 13 I waited for a 3rd season considering the end tag and yet it never came 10 years later I look at it fondly
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES, recently rewatched for nostalgia, and realized that season two looked great....for like the four episodes that WEREN'T flash animated. I was so disappointed they dropped the ball on that. But it was exactly what I wanted to watch at the time. Summoning monsters and fighting ALONGSIDE those monsters instead of them just doing everything. Love this show
Honestly, I grew up on 4kids entertainment and really missed this show. I found it on RUclips along with the Winx Club, and Sonic X. Nostalgia right there
That show was my jam. Everything I love is in there, urban fantasy : adventure, history/myths and ancient civilizations, summoning beings from another realm to fight for/with you, adorable slow burn love stories, mysteries, puzzles and traps...
I have had huntik stuck in my brain for like 6 years
This was literally my favourite show, and to this day it is probably one of my greatest inspirations, absolutely one of the greatest Italian cartoons
I watched both seasons on Netflix a couple of years ago. I remembered the show from my childhood and I always thought that Dante was so badass. Man it didn’t disappoint rewatching the show and seeing all the episodes in the right order this time. The amulets, titans and the lore that this show revolves around are so interesting and cool. I was only a little disappointed after watching the entire show when I realized that the plot around Lok’s dad and the gate to Huntik wasn’t really properly resolved. A third season would have been nice to wrap everything up.
I really wish they had a 3rd season for this. It was an amazing and well made concept
Omg. Huntik was my showwwww. The amulet summoning was always such an epic concept.
the italian opening goes hard af for no reason, also the hair movement was so iconic, what a cool show.
This show was so good. I would love to see some kind of reboot or re-airing of the show for a new audience to see because I genuinely think it had so much potential as an IP. Definitely putting Huntik on my list of shows to show my future kids alongside transformers animated and the last airbender.
This show was the whole reason I got into D&D, I had completely forget about it, but I'm so glad to see it brought up, because I can enjoy your take and some nostalgia!
I just finished watching this show again after I last watched it on NickToons and Huntik was amazing
Yes, and I love it. Thank you for bringing this obscure series to light.
This show is insanely good I wish it got more of a chance
I just finished rewatching this series when I saw you posted this. This series was a blast to watch then and now. I just wish it could have continued
Basically, Tomb Raider meets Yu-Gi-Oh and it's amazing
I have had this on the edge of brain for a while but could not put a name to it. Then Jordan just backhands me with the answer and nostalgia. Thank you for that, it was driving me nuts
I want Iginio to continue with season 3, or make something to continue the saga. The thing that i want to know is why in the end of the last episode, we see the Red Comet still working as well as the Spiral symbol. This could be a continue to the story and I hope that can happen.I have loved Huntik since I was 5 yrs old,due today. I have hope in Iginio even if it is impossible to return to Huntik!
This video unlocked so many memories from my childhood!!! From the card game to the show itself to jamming out to the theme song, there was so much with this show that I have fond memories of. I was also always jealous of all the merch that Italy was getting that we weren’t as well, like they had collectible amulets and stuff. Writing wise I don’t know if I could confidently say it’s aged well or necessarily something I could still enjoy just as much at the age I am now, but one day I’d want to revisit it for sure
I remember seeing this series as a kid and I loved it
Huntik sounds like the kind of show I would have absolutely been obsessed with had I watched it as a kid.
I thought this was a fever dream I had as a child… I can’t believe it’s real
I've wondered how tf this show was called for the past 3 years because i remembered watching it a lot and thinking it was epic
thanks for making this video, it was so cool going through it
Thank you for finally explaining the bit about the animation in the second season. Honestly I did lose interest after the first season but I never knew why
The memory of this show just popped into my head yesterday, and the 1st thing I remembered aside from the titans were the scenes of the huntik Foundation Council meetings and how when one of the council members couldn't make it to the meeting room a full 3D model hologram of them appeared in their stead kind of like VR chat or holo zoom also for what ever reason every 3rd word I type my phone predicts I'll put the 😳 emoji even though I've literally never used it before typing this comment
