Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan

Bizarre, violent, mostly nonsensical...but incredibly funny. I liked this for the same reason I liked FLCL and Azumanga Daioh. FLCL had a deeper story (yes, there was one...watch it again) and Azumanga Daioh had greater character development, but Dokuro-chan has a charm all it's own...not to mention lots of blood. The parody of the "magical girl" element really adds something. I never cared for those types (Sailor Moon annoys me, no matter what language it's in), but here, it's funny.

The visuals and sound were really well done considering how short the series is, but then, that's just how series like this work. Short, but high-quality (well, the good ones, anyway). The premise alone is what got me to watch it and I wasn't disappointed. You have to take this series for what it is: brainless fun.

Look, I really enjoy stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Kanon (2006), and Gundam Wing...but sometimes you just gotta let off some steam. You can't always be serious and this really hit the spot for me. Especially since my last 3 series were Air, Black Lagoon, and Kanon (2006). Talk about heavy...I really needed this!

The first episode alone was almost too much...the appearance of the "monkey" left me almost in tears, I was laughing so hard. I'm sure my neighbors were wondering if I'd cracked! It wasn't some cerebral joke, it was just so completely unexpected, it really caught me off-guard. That, and I happen to find monkeys funny in general. Nothing afterwards hit my funnybone THAT hard, but it was still worthwhile.

Kick back, let go of your rational mind for a bit, and enjoy this blood-soaked comedy for what it is and don't try to analyze it too deeply. It's just plain fun.

I'm a fan, but I try to keep this review from being biased as much as possible.

This anime is shocking for a lot of people, so keep these things in mind:

Do not take this anime seriously. I'm serious. Really, don't. Actually I'm not serious. Because you can't be serious after having watched that anime!
Do mind, that this anime is still light-hearted, even if it appears to be extremly violent. There are no consequences for anything. That's the main reason, why I'm able to laugh about it so hard.

The story is stupid as hell and people die for no reason at all, all the time. If you like ridiculous amounts of non-sense, stupidity, parody, trolling and enjoy dark humor, this anime is for you.

I don't want to go further in detail about the content, because it's pretty unique, so if you are still curious about this anime, I suggest you watch 2 minutes of it and ask yourself:

Did I find it fun?
If you didn't, you shouldn't bother to watch the rest of it, because the sense of humor is constant and story or character development is non-existant.
If you did, however, then feel free to watch the rest, because the quality stays the same throughout all 8 episodes (13min length each)!

Have fun and enjoy yourself! read more
