Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan

At first glance, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan looks like a typical anime geared towards young teenagers. Not my type of thing to watch. But I eventually discovered that it was perhaps geared more towards a mature audience, especially as Dokuro-chan likes to kill the main protagonist Sakura with a spiked mace, generally smashing the remains over the surrounding wall etc. Well the title is "Club to death angel Dokuro-chan" so I'm guessing there is a clue put in there somewhere. Not so much of a child friendly anime then? It is pretty amusing... if you can stand the high pitched chanting of a psychopath angel. The plot is quite simple, just like anime geared towards young teenagers wierdly enough. Boy likes girl. But three is a crowd as Dokuro-chan smashes boy all over wall with spiked mace. Dokuro-chan was sent to assassinate Sakura but for some reason actually didn't. Thats pretty much the plot. The humour is extremely random on occasions, especially when the boundaries of animation are broken and a couple of boys are magically transformed into a baboon and dog. In the second season, a face of an actual man is continually shown, nobody knowing who in the hell he is. Not a favourite anime but certainly worth watching for sheer stupidity and the delight of seeing a perverted little boy's brains being splattered in all general directions. Perverted? Well if Sakura invents technology in the future to stop girls aging, staying 12 forever; I think that counts as a bit perverted.
