Zenki
On TV Tokyo
A high-energy supernatural action-comedy anime that pairs demon-summoning mythology with episodic adventure, balancing horror elements with playful tone across a complete 51-episode run.
In ancient times, a great battle was waged between a master mage, Enno, and an evil demon goddess, Karuma. Enno didn't have the strength to defeat her alone and was forced to call upon Zenki, a powerful protector demon. After Karuma was defeated, Enno sealed Zenki away in a pillar located inside his temple. 1,200 years after this epic battle, Enno's descendant, Chiaki, unleashes her family's powers to summon Zenki.
