Rating: Summary: Just one thing... Review: Since others cover the story contents and such well enough, you don't need me to go on about it. ;p However, there is one thing I didn't see mentioned anywhere. Now, I saw the subtitled eps on VHS and it was love at first site. It's simply a fun series. When it came out on DVD, I was one of the first to grab one and was surprised to find the series had also been dubbed. ooo... Though I've learned from experience that to watch an English dub of an Anime is most usually dangerous to your sanity, I gamely gave it a go to test out the DVD since I'd already seen the subtitled version. Well, the dub isn't too bad, but I do have one major gripe and felt warning others was in order: The dub voice used for the child Zenki is horrible and really ruined it for me. I constantly found myself gritting my teeth. I suppose it's endurable, but I recommend people new to the series watch the subtitled first or risk being turned off by that ill-fitting and grating voice.
Rating: Summary: Remeber- -never eat the wallnuts Review: The Zenki series is a wonderful take on the shonen manga. Here we have all the staples of a good anime action show; magic spells, a young pretty girl, two bad budist monks and a wise cracking demon trying to kill his mistress. . . Okay, so its not your average action show, but Zenki with his smart as attitude and the wise cracking of the intire cast, plus the well timed use of panty jokes makes it all worth while. After all who wouldn't like a series where the heroien is force to seal the fridge from her gardiuan demon to keep him from eating them out of house and home? Then watch that same demon don a *female* students uniform to steal her lunch at school!Zenki is a bag of laughs and action, a great buy for any anime fan. ^-^

Rating: Summary: Funny, but a bit lacking in thickness Review: This anime was relesed a few years back over here, and so I've forgotten most of the details. But the main part about this DVD(I think) Is about a girl who accidentally releases a demon called Zenki...except that he's not the visage of terror you'd expect. He looks just like an ordinary boy. Anyway, the girl can revert him to his demon form(seen on the cover)pretty much the same way Cardcaptor Sakura does to her cards. I give this 5 stars for my own fond memories of it, though Zenki keeps getting mashed in his face by his master(the girl).
