Zenki English Sub & Dub

About Zenki

Zenki (鬼神童子ZENKI) blends action, comedy and drama by Studio DEEN (1995). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: One thousand years ago, all manner of evil creatures beset Earth. Only the high priest, Ozuno, could control the guardian demon named Zenki and protect the realm.

Beyond that: Fearful that no one would ever be able to control the destructive Zenki, Ozuno sealed the creature in a stone monument before he passed on. In modern day, a young priestess named Chiaki Ozuno uncovers the monument. Odd demonic objects known as the Seeds of Evil have been appearing once again, and with them come doom for all mankind.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Anju (Megumi Ogata) and Zenki (Kappei Yamaguchi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 51 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio DEEN, which means the visual identity of Zenki follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Megumi Ogata as Anju, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1995, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
