Zatch Bell! English Sub & Dub

About Zatch Bell!

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Zatch Bell! (金色のガッシュベル!!) deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. The setup: Takamine Kiyomaro, a depressed don't-care-about-the-world guy, was suddenly given a little demon named Gash Bell to take care of. Little does he know that Gash is embroiled into an intense fight to see who is the ruler of the demon world.

Another thread: All of the demons have to pick a master on Earth and duke it out with other demons until one survives. Needless to say, Kiyomaro becomes Gash's master, and through their many clashes, Kiyomaro learns the importance of friendship and courage.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Gash Bell (Ikue Ootani) and Kiyomaro Takamine (Takahiro Sakurai) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 150 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
