In 2029, a large scale ground sinkage occurred in the Mediterranean Sea. Chemical elements such as oxygen, carbon, gold, molybdenum, and cobalt disappeared from the earth's crust suddenly. The human population was decreased by 90% in sixty years. Researchers found out that the disappeared elements were drained into a planet "Nega Earth", located in another dimension. To save the Earth, a special team called the "Element Hunters" is organized. All of the members are under 13 years old, because young and flexible brains are needed to access "Nega Earth".

Where it came from
Element Hunters is a 39-episode science fiction anime series produced by NHK Enterprises in collaboration with South Korean studio Heewon Entertainment. Originally broadcast in 2009, the series was designed as an educational initiative, commissioned to spark interest in chemistry and science among younger audiences. The narrative follows a group of teenagers tasked with reclaiming elements that have vanished from Earth into a parallel dimension known as the Negative Earth.
The character and mecha designs were aimed at a youthful demographic, blending traditional shonen tropes with scientific terminology to make the periodic table more engaging. While the series received moderate attention for its unique premise and educational aspirations, it is often remembered for its transnational production structure, representing a significant period of Japanese and Korean animation cooperation during the late 2000s.
