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

Well I thought long and hard before deciding to sit down and actually write a review on this anime. As you can see I am not a fan. When I sat down to view this series it was partially because I had seen references to it in other shows I had watched and a friend had recommended it telling me how funny he thought it was. I looked it up and thought the characters looked cute and was intrigued by the alt title "Club to Death Angel" ... hmm what was that about? God, how I wish I that I could have that moment back now.
So let’s give you the premise of Dokuro-chan. Basically she is an angel from the future who is here to protect Sakura from other angels from the future who want him dead for something he will do in the future... making all future women loli's. Ooooooooook. There have been far sillier anime plots so I can go with that. But that isn’t all of course, because Dokuro really loves Sakura and naturally is a jealous tsundere and in her fits of rage and jealousy kills Sakura...a lot. She beats him to death, she turns him into bloody soup, she impales, she decapitates, and dismembers in every way you can. But she’s always really sorry and being an angel buy saying her really cute "Pi-piru-piru-piru-pi-piru-pi!" she can bring him back to life. Of course Sakura is always quite upset (you think!?) and needs to remind Dokuro to stop beating him to death. Aww. Now I imagine this is supposed to be funny. Well maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed before I watched this or I was PMSing, but I thought this blatant cruelty was about as funny as, well being bludgeoned to death. Oh and you think it can’t get much worse than that? Add that an angel having his or her halo removes causes them to immediately have uncontrollable explosive diarrhea. Nice.
You’re probably thinking... aren’t you being a little harsh? Its only cartoon violence! I've seen shows that have been pretty raw before, Inukami! comes to mind, but many other shows that involve similar character types often have some pretty crude and sometimes cruel behavior. Such as Louise horse whipping Saito from ZnT, etc. This is different though the amount of spraying blood and gore is just so over the top that it is hard to top. Even some of the most violent anime out there like an Elfen Lied or Claymore were not bloodier than this one. And those weren’t comedies.
Now that I have gotten of my soapbox lets discuss the other parts of this series. Like I said at the start the art was one of the things that initially interested me in the show. It doesn’t disappoint there, Dokuro and all her friends are very cute and adorable, which in a way makes the way they behave so hard to accept. The music and voice acting is pretty good too. The OP song is pretty cute and cuddly sounding, well unless you read the translation.
I made it through this anime, because it was short 12 min episodes... and I really wanted to like it. I thought if I kept watching that eventually I would get some entertainment from it? I even watched the even shorter second part, honestly because I had already gotten it and I figured I might as well watch it too. This show truly disturbed me and I don’t think I have ever been more offended by something in my life. If it was possible to give it a "0" in enjoyment I would have. Reading the other reviews for this I see that I am probably in the minority on my thinking here. I don’t know what to say to you if you liked this show. Personally I think you need to see a shrink. If you’re reading this and wondering if you should watch it, I recognize that we all have different tastes, if you’re a fan of dark comedy shows like South Park (I am not) then you would probably enjoy this. Otherwise I would stay very very far away.

Okay ... so ... khm. Trying to write a review for this is like trying to make a soap out of dirt. No, I mean it. This anime is simply hit or fail - whether it's about the taste or about the time you're watching it (meaning your "emotional/mind state".
Story? Ain't nobody got imagination for that.
There's basically no story. Well ... there is ... sort of. Angel comes from a future to kill a guy since he invented a perfect lolicon world in the future where all women stop aging at the age of 12. She can't kill him so she spends her entire time with him, trying to stop his studies ---
This is pointless. I fuc***g loved this anime. It's not complex. It's not deep. It's not long - it doesn't try to be anything. It is what it is - a mindless 'let's make morbid things kind of fun' thingy. I really don't want to grade this anime because, by all possible standards, this is absolute zero. Art is crappy, sound (what the heck is that?), the characters are like wtf, omg, ojhaaablaa, story is so complex it gave me diarrhea and so on and so forth.
It's aimed to the specific people and I kind of fit right in there. If you consider obscure torture, mindless murders, flat out retarded "everything" this is your thing. It's funny, it really is, and it doesn't try to be anything more than that. read more

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is...well....what can I say? It's absolutely insane and nonsensical. If you are looking for a well written and deep story, then this is the exact opposite of what you want. The story in this anime is pretty much non-existent; A few plot points that seem significant are brought up, but all-together dropped and forgotten in the long run. If you are a fan of random, crazy, immature, and fun humor, then this anime was made for you. For any casual anime fan, it's worth AT LEAST a 'check it out'. Try the first episode, if you are into it, then continue with it, because it's comedy is consistent and constant throughout every episode. If you are really into the story, and you like it only for that, then just stop now, because this is very important to know: The plot is just an excuse for more humor, and this is proved, for in the second season, all current plot events from the season 1 finale are dropped and forgotten, and it is back to more random comedy.
In a nutshell: Story is on the back-burner, comedy is prominent. Check it out if you like the sound of this! ^^ read more

Overview:
I'll start this review first by saying that normally, I love comedy. I usually enjoy watching anime series like this, that don't really have a plot and are just parody/comedy and that's it. After watching the first episode (There's 4 eps, not 8), I just can't watch any more for at least a very, very long time. It is HORRIBLE, even for a comedy anime. But I do respect it for one thing. This anime manages to do something no other anime can do. It manages to be SO BAD, that it makes ALL other anime seem amazing. This must truly be the worst anime that was ever made in order for it to accomplish this. During the whole episode I watched, I kept thinking how great those boring, slice-of-life shows like Lucky Star are compared to the sh*t I was currently watching. Oh, and by the way, blood is supposed to go DOWN not up. It's called gravity.
Story:
The story is interesting enough. The problem is, they do nothing with it. Instead of what it says on the summary, the story ends up being Dokuro-chan killing Sakura every 5 seconds for some dumb reason, then reviving him. That COULD be funny, but it gets old and loses any possible humor since it's repeated so often. Basically, there is no story.
Art:
Most of the time it's cute. Then the characters get all deformed and it isn't funny like it's meant to be - it's just outright disturbing. Maybe not quite enough to cause nightmares, but just horrible to look at.
Sound:
The OP theme is cute, as long as you don't read the translation. Everything else is mediocre.
Character:
Lolwhat? Characters? Oh yeah, that. Dokuro-chan is like Louise from ZnT or Shana from SnS to the extreme x10000000. She likes chopping peoples heads off with her bat. That's all there is to know about her. Sakura seems like the "self-insert" character, having no personality and all, but who the f*ck would want to be him? Oh, and there's this girl who Sakura has a crush on. That's all. Oh, there's a monkey too.
Enjoyment:
If you enjoy this show, you must be a sadist.
Overall:
If you end up on some deserted island somewhere and the only thing you have is this anime series, don't watch it. Because staring at a wall is more fun and less disturbing than watching this. read more

I'll start by stating my opinion of the anime directly. It sucks. No, I'm not just a flamer, or a crude one-line-reviewer, but it’s true. My first advice to all of the people who read this review: do not watch this anime unless you... 1) Are absolutely *desperate* for a brainless comedy, 2) Do not care one whit about storyline, or 3) Are a brave person who wants to plunge into the unknown despite my fervent warnings to the contrary.
First, and quite possibly most importantly, the storyline. A quote from MyAnimeList.net's description:
"Problem is, Dokuro is very temperamental, and is constantly killing Sakura (and lots of other people too) in incredibly bloody ways with her giant spiked club."
This *is* the storyline. The whole anime revolves around Dokuro walking around, swinging her club around in a giant grand melee, and then gasping in shock (or not) and singing her little song to bring back the person she just killed. There are other sub-plotlines describing relationships, competitions between angels, and so on, but they seem rough and thrown in to make up for the astounding lack of any other content. The main body of the anime, as stated before, is nothing but a huge bloodbath of random violence and destruction.
On a slightly happier note; if, somehow, you manage to avoid being led off by the absence of a storyline, you will probably enjoy simply looking at the action on the screen. While there are animes that are undeniably drawn far better, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan does an excellent job of matching very random animations with the action. A wide variety of styles of drawing are used for emphasis in certain scenes, although one main style dominates.
Similarly, a wide variety of sound is used effectively throughout the show, drawing to mind the old radio stations of the 50's that often used their arsenal of bells and whistles for the entertainment of their listeners. While watching the anime, you may find that the little tune that Dokuro uses to revive people (pipiru pi!) begins to annoy you by sheer repetition.
Character, however, is another weak point. All of the characters have firmly established personas, but none of them have the least bit of depth. As a story progresses, you might expect characters to acquire some bits of personality, but instead they remain almost entirely set in the personas given to them in the introduction.
This anime, as stated earlier, is something you watch in the wee hours of night as a way to get a quick laugh without immersing yourself in a good story. I would not recommend anyone looking for a high quality, strong anime show to watch this.
As a note to the supporters of this anime: I understand that some people will not agree with my assessment of this show. Please, instead of flaming my or posting detrimental comments, post your own review to challenge my opinion.

At it's base the anime had little plot to begin with, and doesn't really improve at all.
I realize that it was meant to be random, but the whole premise of the anime seemed to throw me off far beyond the norm.
Story - (1/10)
There wasn't any, simply put. They tried to excuse this by creating a story that fell along the lines of:
The protagonist is targeted by an angel, Dokuro-chan, that wants to kill him because in the future he will create an immortality potion that makes all women grow only large enough to look like 12-year-old girls. A.K.A. they [the Angel Agency] wants to kill him for being a lolicon.
Art - (5/10)
The art was entertaining at times, but most of the episodes are just plain disturbing, and I don't know about you, but after about 3 episodes of constant bloodshed and monkey-humping, I'm about ready to jump off a bus.
Sound - (7/10)
For some reason I found the sound very appealing and very funny (even though I don't want to SEE the bloodshed, I found it interesting how they made it sound).
Character - (10/10)
The only character I found enjoyable was the protagonist, Sakura. I simply loved that fact that everything around him is quickly spinning into "nonsense" land and he tries so desperately to cling onto some amount of sanity (with no success, of course).
Enjoyment - (10/10)
While I didn't enjoy the art, the story, or sounds, I did thoroughly enjoy the comedy and bits of randomness that DID make sense (even though that, in itself, doesn't make sense).
Overall, I'd have to rate this a 3/10. It's something I'd suggest if you were REALLY bored. read more

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is one of those absolutely, totally, ridiculously non-sense anime. And this is what makes it really funny as hell.
Sakura-kun is a simple boy who struggles to live a decent life after Dokuro-chan, a crazy clubbing-to-death angel that came and started to live with him, for no apparent reason.
To resume, the story is stupid, as you can see in the synopsis.
The students look totally normal and basic, with the exception of the one turned into a monkey and the teacher, with his weird face and goggles, well in fact most of the adults look disguting, so are Sakura's face in critical situations. Sometimes Sakura's mind will be shown with some hilarous metaphors using an adult character, or the angel and devil thing (well, here it's a vulgar Sakura and a graduated Sakura).
Well, the changes in art style are in fact most of the time the reason for the fun in the show.
The opening couldn't fit better, Sae-chan sings as she voices Dokuro-chan. The voices and sounds used during every episode make the show even funnier. The ending is kinda sad compared to the delirious anime, but as it is really relaxing and cool I will forgive Sae-chan because you can't dislike her.
Well, if you want to laugh after a messy day or because you're wanting to forget your hard times, BTDC is ALWAYS a good anime to watch. If you just want to see some funny random anime, no other can be better. If you want to see some serious anime or a great storyline for a funny show, don't even look for it.
And the sequel is even funnier (but two times shorter), be sure to check it out. read more

I see that some people find this comedy too graphic and bloody to be funny. Well I must say I laughed a lot watching this show. The premise is that the main character will invent immortality, and women will stop aging at 12 years old. This doesn't sit well with people in the future so they send an angel of death to kill him before he makes his discovery.
The angel is cute and cuddly and has one bad temper. He is killed in just about every way you can imagine. Let's just say the blood flies in this anime. But relax she resurrects him and they continue on after he lectures her about her violent ways. I found it funny each time.
All of the characters are funny and likeable. Even with all the bloodshed and carnage the characters aren't malicious or mean spirited. It's just slapstick humor with a bit of violence.
I found it fun to watch and very entertaining. If you don't mind some senseless violence and can laugh at stupid humor then you will enjoy this anime.

I honestly have no idea how to say what I want to say about this show. Basically, it's the weirdest, craziest, most nonsensical, stupidest mind-f*** of a show I have EVER seen. However, I can't exactly say it's bad. Because, really, it's not.
It's about a boy named Sakura (yes, he is a boy, and his name IS Sakura), a remarkably normal kid who just happens to have a murderous angel living in his room. This is Dokuro-chan, a mallet-wielding psychopathic angel from the future to protect Sakura from the other angels who want to kill him, all because (in the future) he accidentally found the secret to eternal youth in an attempt to make a pedophiles' world. And what is this 'guardian angels' biggest pleasure in life? To mercilessly torture and kill poor Sakura every chance she gets, to distract him from studying so he will never accidentally find the secret to eternal youth! And she doesn't just kill him... She slaughters him, the most common way being lobbing off the top half of his head with her club-thingy called 'Excaliborg' in giant explosions of blood. After he has collapsed to the floor, his own blood usually decorating the surrounding walls and ceiling, she brandishes Excaliborg once again to heal him back to life with a 'Pipiru pipiru pipiru pi!'
This may sound funny to you, it may not. It sounded funny to me, but in the end the sheer amount of stupidity I was hit with just baffled me and I couldn't watch it anymore.
If you want plot, you're definably not going to find it here. It's just 8 jumbled episodes of unrelated stupidity, filled to the brim with Sakura's pain and misery. Actually, Sakura was the only character I actually liked, and that was mostly because I felt bad for the poor guy. He's abused by his classmates in various ways, Dokuro kills him every few minutes and he's publicly humiliated in front of the girl he likes on numerous occasions. To me, it was much more cruel than funny, considering that one time he's killed, washed down a river, had to hitch-hike his way back, and is greeted by concern and caring from his classmates only to find out the food they gave him is poisoned.
That's... Just cruel.
The art is cute, if not disturbing at times (and I don't mean the blood, I mean how radically the characters change from normal and cute to deformed and ugly) and the music is catchy. The voice acting is pretty good as well. I found it to be funny here and there, but the rest of the time I just felt my brain cells die as I watched it.
Bottom line, I say give it a try... I know several people who loved the show and though it was insanely funny, but I just couldn't handle it. read more

The title is Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. I remember reading about it on some site long ago, but I forgot the title. Although, luckily, I asked about it on the anime section of GameTalk and someone was able to tell me.
This anime is REALLY short (4 episodes) -- even shorter than FLCL. And like FLCL, I have to wonder why it isn't any longer.
Dokuro-chan is an angel from the future who is sent by God to kill Sakura who is destined to create the technology that freezes all women's aging once they turn twelve.
Although Dokuro-chan decides to save Sakura, she ends up killing him anyway (multiple times) with her giant spiked club because she is very temperamental.
The great thing about this anime is that every episode had something that made me laugh out loud, and I guarantee you will too.
P.S. I found out on Anime News Network that the Japanese voice actress for Dokuro-chan is the same as Azmaria Hendric on Chrono Crusade. @_@ read more

Pi-piru-piru-piru-pi-piru-pi!
The plot didn't show up alot in the anime. It was mostly random. But that doesn't mean I didn't love it!
Dokuro-chan is very strange. She's a kind of a tsundere. This series is quite gorey and ecchi, but that's the kind of anime I like XD
It's a REALLY messed up anime. Seriously. Almost no logic at all.... Scratch that. No. Logic. At. ALL.
I really liked the opening theme, but the ending theme is abit slow and got alittle boring.
I suggest this anime if you're not sure what to watch next, or are trying to relax, or just really like comedy :D

I have to say at first i didnt know what to think about this anime, what with a main plot point being lolicon but after watching it i see that its a true masterpiece. I have to give the authors credit, they managed to write a whole 4 episode anime with, maybe 75% of the lines being sexual innuendos. If i could live in this anime I would. My favorite character is the little sister, unlike all the other girls in this anime she has a body of a 20 year old.Unfortunately I cant enjoy her sweet body because she is only 9 years old. I dont think the author has ever seen a girl in real life, because of this he is constantly getting their proportion mixed up, but its ok because I havent either. The 9 year old sister reminds me of solid snake because she has an eyepatch, and she give me a solid snake. Now I know what you're thinking, Naked Snake has the eyepatch not snake! Well you're wrong! In Metal Gear Solid 4 Snake gets the Solid Eye and it looks like an eyepatch. read more

Okay well I pick up this dvd at best buy thinking it was going to be cute and so such even though I saw the 16+ Rating I though it was just for the blood which I can usually handle so I bought it and took it home well after the first episode I was very disturb by the fanservice which in alot of anime they usually do have that which I don't mind if the anime is good but this anime had to much of it for me to handle. >_< But I still trying to give this anime a shot so I watch a few more episodes even though i did have a few laughs overall I really didn't enjoy this anime now I'm not saying this anime is down right horrible i mean if you can take the fanserivce and you can actually understand the jokes which I wasn't able too you would probably end up liking it but to me I just didn't like it..so I gave it 4/10 I'm guessing this is most horrible anime I've ever seen..kinda harsh..well I take that back yugioh gx is my worst..but yeah this is RIGHT after it... read more

Overall I'd rate this anime with a 9. The art was really good (and cute!), the characters were unique-ish and had their own personalities and the series was very enjoyable! It didn't really have that much of a plot and it was really short, but if you don't mind that (or lots of gore and ecchi moments) then this anime is for you!
I enjoyed this anime because of it's humour. It mostly based it's comedy upon Sakura getting killed every 10 minutes (lots of blood there...) and it's ecchi moments. There are other things that make this anime good, like its originality and catchy opening theme, so I'd say that this is a must watch!
I'm sorry if this review wasn't good, It's my first one... read more

Dokuro-chan certainly is an odd show, I originally set out to watch it due to how different it was and it paid out. I suppose they are many who think the old “girl moves in with boy” thing has been done to death and that this show would be a waste of time but it really isn’t the same, and considering how short the series is, it’s definitely worth a look.
Opening sequence: 9
Ending sequence: 6
My Age Rating: 12: Graphic violence ranging from decapitation to insane bloodbaths. Highly sexual themes with nudity.
The story revolves around a high school student who has become the target of angels for creating immortality. One such angel, Dokuro, decided to protect him and try to simply prevent him from creating immortality later on and as such she moves in with him. During the course of the story we see a series of misunderstanding whereby the main protagonist sees Dokuro naked or does indecent things by mistake; again this is pretty much the territory in such shows. Off course while the girl usually panics in such cases or slaps/hits the guy, she rarely clubs him to death or decapitates him, Dokuro doesn’t hesitate to do that though, and since she can bring him back to life she can go all out on him.
The characters are interesting in some aspects, Sakura, the main character, would usually be your average harem hero but he lacks a full harem and while he’s actually described as being more perverted than the harem hero (you’ll get that when you hear why he created immortality) he actually doesn’t act it as much as you’d think. Dokuro is suppose to be the average love interest of the protagonist who acts crazy and is prone to violence when she thinks he as sexual intentions, but she is exaggerated in every way and brought to the edges of the extreme. She doesn’t have a problem with literally killing Sakura as long as she resurrects him later and as far as angels goes, she isn’t an exemplary model either: using torture to get what she wants at times. The other characters aren’t as unique but they don’t have much screen time either so it’s to be expected they wouldn’t really be as worked on as the primary two.
The voice acting was good, there isn’t much to say, the voices match the lip movements for the most part and the acting was true to the characters.
This series is certainly unique in that even though it’s heavy sexual themes, its fanservice is relatively light and the one thing in which it does go overboard is the violence and gore. Violence and gore, got to admit it’s not what you’d expect from a comedy but it actually does work if you can stand to watch it. The comedic situations are on par with what you’d see in other shows when it comes to misunderstandings but it adds it’s on touch and pulls it off quite well.
In the end it’s a fun and bloody show which most should enjoy. It’s not invaded with endless fanservice and gives you quite a few laughs. It’s a really unique show but a very short one too. read more

The majority of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is very random. Random, and mindless. The characters are decent, the sound is decent, art is good, but there really isn't much of a story. That aside, given that Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is a random, mindless comedy, the story can slide a little.
IMO, if you're looking for random mindless comedy, and don't mind the violence, or lack of a decent story, then Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is perfect for you.

Story: 7
This kind of anime is more for the fun part and that why is has a short story.
Not do many developments.
Animation: 8
The animation is quite good its well-drawn and has a normal backgrounds like other series.
The only thing that’s a little to much is the blood exploding from the main character when he get beaten to death.
Sound: 9
I don’t have really a complain about the sound.
It’s at a good level and everything is fun to listen to.
The best part I like about it is the intro.
I normally skip the intro of some series but not this one.
Character: 9
The character a really enjoyable to look a the voice acting a greatly done.
Every voice acting has they own passion of putting there character to live.
And I like it we the talk real fast.
Enjoyment: 9
Enjoyment is one of those things that this serie really has.
And the jokes are something to laugh about but something there a little overreacting.
Overall: 8,4
In overall the serie is fun to watch a characters are putting there all into it.
There is little development and background of them but is this way its easy to follow.
Jokes are fun but sometimes there overreacting it with the blood exploding and shooting 20 meters in the sky. read more

I for one found this anime to be both ridiculous and stupid. There was a lot of random deaths, no plot, the anime itself was annoying. I don't like anime shows with random or not even a plot such as Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. I might get hate mail for righting a review like this, but seriously, I dropped this anime at episode 3, and I was glad I stopped watching it. I might as well watch something better than this worthless anime show.
In conclusion, this anime was, in some ways, funny, stupid, annoying, violent, ridiculous, more random words alike to those 5. I didn't like it at all, the only thing that was good was the sound quality and character design, but still, this is a terrible anime show to watch. Sorry to all fans of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, don't know why you would like an anime like this. read more
