Are they any good? I'm curious, as I saw the trailers in my boxset.

Zenki: Saw a couple of the anime episodes and actually *have* all the manga (if I'm not mistaken... it's an ambiguous ending). In a nutshell, I wouldn't recommend it, I don't even know *why* I still have the manga. But yeah, loads and loads of unecessary fanservice by the main char Chiaki. That's my main gripes with the series... not to mention she's your average 'lose her clothing 5 minutes into the fight' type of gal who's really one of the more annoying heroines in shonen manga yet.

Plot is so-so, might be disturbing/annoying to most since it deals witth using spirits/gods (I can't find a better word than 'jin' which describes what Zenki is perfectly in Indo or Arabian for that matter) and all those Shinto magic stuff. Violence and gore as well.

I had a laugh when they aired it in Indo before realizing there's WAY too much nudity and violence to censor and ended up canceling it XD (The TV stations there buy anime by the episode so usually they don't screen the entire series beforehand--this happened with Ranma airing there as well)

Samurai Hunt for the Sword I never heard of. But Zenki is an anime and manga I wouldn't recommend wasting 20 minutes of your life with. Looking back, I sure did waste mine.
