I haven't heard of Koihime Musou before, so I can't say.

Zetusubou didn't fit my personal taste. It's a comedy anime, but it does comedy similarly to Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, and Seinfield. The majority of the jokes are very blunt, drawn out, and can be seen long coming. Some people like that humor, but I do not. All the characters in Zetsubou exist as intentional cliches, and a lot of the humor around them is a form of "Ha, we know this is cliche, but we're doing it anyway, isn't that funny?" Like Sakaki in Azumanga with cats, whenever she tried to pet a cat you knew exactly what was going to happen, and it happened every time. The joke was that she kept doing it despite the audience knowing that she would never succeed. Too drawn out, too slow, and too predictable for my taste. There are some gems in Zetsubou, but they are scattered amongst a lot of pebbles.

Almost all series you can find someone who has fansubbed it. You can look for large torrents on some sites or look for individual downloads on others. Some series were in the course of being subbed but got licensed and the company that was subbing it got a Cease and Desist order so they had to stop subbing it or else face legal prosecution.

EDIT: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a mix between outright laughs and "WTF am I watching?" kind of anime. I watched both the first season and Zoku but I haven't seen any of Goku yet. It's more a comedy/slice of life anime, kind of along the lines of Lucky Star.
