Plot
So are anime here takes place in a seemingly normal slice of life Japan and our “Hero” Sakura walks in on our main “Heroine” Dokuro-chan and she has a towel round her body as she is getting changed and disgustid by this Dokuro does is turn his head into mince meat then brings him immediately back to life. 😒
And that pretty some’s up the show. Well no there’s another angel Sabato who is sent from the future to assassinate Sakura as he will be responsible for creating a world were all Women stop ageing at the age of 12 thus creating a Pedophile’s World 😔. Can you the shit were working with here. My God and its the same every god dam episode Sakura does something perceived as perverted by Dokuro-chan she kills him brings him back to life and Sabato attempts to kill Sakura. Rinse Repeat. Mind numbing every time.
Characters
Well I think it’s safe to say that the characters are not horrid but just annoying in every single troupe you can think of. There either wining, or being over the top but it goes so far its just unbearable. Case in point Dokuro-chan her self she’s loud, crude, obnoxious, thick as a plank of wood and for the most part just so unlikable in any way at all that by the time you get to the final episode and the show tries to go serious for a bit you just don’t care as you just saw Dokuro rip Sakura’s skull in half.
Also Sakura himself you would think he’d be more the straight man to Dokuro-chan’s insanity but no he just as unlikable as he just takes Dokuro’s abuse like a bitch and he doesn’t have one back bone in his body. He wines on about being killed for no reason but each time he just accepts it. I know its a comedy anime but that just really urks me. Speaking of “Comedy”
Humour
I could ignore how Bad the plot is and the annoying characters if there is at least some humour in the show but unsurprisingly the show fails at that too. You can see watching it there going for Excel Saga type of humour but they go so far over the top its just not funny. Most of the humour comes from Sakura being turned into Salami slices by Dokuro which just gets tedious and boring as each episode goes on and the gore is so over the top at times it would look more in place in a horror film not a comedy.
Animation
If I had one good thing to say about the anime it would be the animation is ok. The animation was done by Studio Hal Film Maker who are also know for Princess Tutu and for Dokuro-chan they have done a ok job and I would give it a pass.
Sound
Lets start with the shows opening which is nothing really to write about its just so so like the rest of the music in the show which is just generic music you would hear in any other slice of life comedy anime.
Now I watched the show in English and it’s one of the most grating and annoying dubs i have have ever herd and its such a shame because I’m a big fan of Wendee Lee and Johnny Yong Bosch but and I can’t blame them too much as they had to work with what they had but they don’t make it better but I put more of the blame at the show itself than the dub cast.
Summary
So to sum up Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan is one of the worst anime I have ever seen which takes a lot for me to consider something to be bad but Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan made it too easy. If you like over the top violence you may get a chuckle out of this and may like a bit more than me but for everyone else stay away from this for your own sanity.
