Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan

As the cover of this DVD suggests, the title character is an exceptionally cute angel girl with a spiked club. But what is the spiked club used for? Its simple- she uses it to brutally kill the main character over and over again. One may think to themselves, how is this supposed to be a comedy? Its quite simple: the show is absolutely insane and all the violence is handled in such a ridiculous way that it ends up being hilarious. The blood content is almost on par with anime such as Another or Shiki.What is this show about? An angel from the future called Dokuro comes to prevent the main character from committing a grievous sin in the near future, which causes all girls to stop aging after the age of twelve. This is a means of immortality, which offends God, and thus he must be stopped before if ever happens.As a note to potential buyers, this is a very violent anime, but what may be more surprising is that this is an extremely perverted anime. There are many fan service moments as well as blatantly sexual situations. Its kind of like Excel Saga, but even crazier. The second season is definitely more raunchy than the first, which means its probably the better season, even though there is no plot in the second season, but its not like anyone necessarily watches this show for its story.This DVD set includes the entire 2 seasons of the series, but the runtime is about 180 minutes. How is that possible? There are supposed to be two seasons. The truth of the matter is that the first season is only 8 episodes long and the second season is only 4 episodes long. Each episode is about 12 minutes long, just like Cromartie High School or Galaxy Angel. Keep this in mind, just so you don't buy this expecting a lot more episodes. The DVD set looks like a standard DVD case, but with 2 DVDs inside of it, and there are no real special features to speak of.This release comes from Media Blasters, but the English dub is not one you would normally hear from them. Instead the dub cast features veterans like Wendee Lee and Johnny Yong Bosch, which were in anime like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya, which is a plus. However, most of the other actors are not in this show very long, so you cannot judge them too well. Overall, a very funny show; maybe the funniest anime since Excel Saga, and that is saying something.

One of the best comedies in the wonderful world of anime originally released in 2008 (sub version only) is back to club some skulls this time with an excellent english cast, Bludgeoning Angle Dokuro-chan is about a boy that will change the future by making a Pedophile's world, fortunately angel from the future Dokuro-chan is on a mission to stop and kill him before this happens.Sakura Kusakabe is destined to create the technology for eternal life, which (due to Sakura's lolicon/Pedophile tendencies) freezes all women's aging once they turn twelve. God refuses to allow this, so he sends his angels to the past to kill Sakura before he can do this. But one angel, Dokuro-chan, decides to try to change the future without killing him. Problem is, Dokuro is very temperamental, and is constantly killing Sakura in incredibly bloody ways with her giant spiked club, but she always revives him just for her own pleasure.The show has a very comedic satire on sexuality combined with references from other anime genres, tons of that smart and clever sense of humor from Japan, each episode is fast-paced, crazy and always funny, the only down side is when we get to the end credits.PROS- Series 1 and 2- Intros and endings songs are very catchy.- Vivid colors and fluent animation.- Plenty of fan service.- Japanese and English audio- Lots of sexual innuendo.- The English dub is top-notch.Sakura - Johnny Young Bosh (Lelouch )Dokuro- Wendee Lee ( Haruhi )Sabato - Elle Deets (Izumi Isozaki )Zakuro - Dorothy Fahn (Naru Narusegawa )Zansu - Kirik Thornton (Kaname Ohgi )Miyamoto - Sam Regal (Shinobu Morita )Ono - Michelle Ruff ( Yuki Nagato )Cons- Season 2 is only of 4 episodes.This is one of those gems that we rarely see here in America, if you are into Ninja Nonsense, Kanokon, Cromartie High School or Indian summer, then by all means buy it, you won't regret it.

I saw a fan-sub of this for the first time at a convention about a year ago, and I was thrilled they finally localized it to the US. This series is choc-ful of hilarious inuendo and wonderful animation. The series is almost a parody of it'self after a point with all the references it makes to it's own fan service.For those looking for a wonderful short series in the same tone as Puni Puni Poemy, this is absolutely for you. While I doubt it will happen, i do hope they Dub this at some point.The only knock I would give the DVD is the serious lack of special features (the only SF is a sub-title free opening and ending sequence), however for the price this is a minor complaint at worst.Every anime fan over 16 should own this quirky DVD.

Subtitled only! Unfortunately. Not a single series, but a series and a short sequel. I'd love to see this series dubbed. There's a lot going on in the background and having to read the subtitles makes it difficult to catch the quick drawn jokes. That said, I'd call this a Comedy-horror-romance, but not horror in the usual sense. A lot of blood and gore though, so I can't think of a better genre to label it. Some S&M overtones. So Not For Children. Hopefully you've stayed this far because now I'll say that this is probably the most morbidly hilarious show I've seen in ages! I haven't laughed so much in at least a year. If you're mature enough to enjoy "low humor", this is a definite "worth getting" series.

Would have gotten 5 stars but does not play in my PS4. Only works on my laptop...

Good anime

I'm not happy - has anyone else been sent the 162 minute collection of this series when they thought they were buying the 9 hour and 56 minute collection?If you've been sent the cutdown collection then please raise your voices, because I can't believe I'm the only person in the universe to be sent this product.

タイトル『撲殺天使ドクロちゃん（＋『撲殺天使ドクロちゃん2』）』ディスク1枚/4:3/1080i HD『撲殺天使ドクロちゃん』×4＝8話『撲殺天使ドクロちゃん2』×2＝4話以上で12話（普通の30分ものアニメとして換算すれば6話分）一般的な国内プレイヤーで再生出来ます（再生環境/SONYの2015年～の最廉価プレイヤー『BDP-S1500』）。タイトルで日本語と字幕《OFF》を選択すれば、後は普通に鑑賞する事が出来ます。映像特典は、ノンテロップOP＆ED。画質に関しては、HD画質ではありますが、SD素材をそのままHDにしたような画質なので、輪郭甘目＆斜め輪郭に少々ギザギザが入ります。DVD版の画質は知りませんが、正直なところSD画質と言われてもしょうがないレベルなので、評価を1つ下げました。ヒロインが主人公を撲殺するアニメ。下ネタ＆微エロに、脳味噌＆内臓が飛び散りまくるバイオレンス恋愛ギャグ。お値段はともかくとして、今となっては国内版DVDを揃えるよりも、本商品でドクロちゃんを堪能するのがベストな選択でしょう。安価かつお手軽にDVDBOXを購入したと思えば、画質の微妙さも許せちゃいます。
