Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan

In a junior high kid's bedroom, an angel shows up and, instead of delivering divine wisdom, immediately beats him to death with a spiked bat. That's the first five minutes of Dokuro-chan, and it more or less describes all four episodes. The setup is this: Sakura Kusakabe is an ordinary student who, apparently, is going to invent something terrible in twenty years — technology that freezes women's development at age twelve. To stop him, the angel Dokuro Mitsukai travels back from the future. Her plan, instead of killing him outright, is to move into his house and keep him distracted. The catch is her temper. Dokuro kills Sakura on a near-daily basis with her bat, Excalibolg, then resurrects him moments later with a cheerful little chant. He comes back covered in blood, she acts like nothing happened, and life continues. The humor is entirely built on that contrast — cute art style, bouncy opening theme, genuinely grotesque cartoon violence played completely straight. It's the same energy as Excel Saga or Puni Puni Poemy: gag comedy that moves fast and commits fully to its one joke. If you liked Panty and Stocking's willingness to be loud and gross in equal measure, this scratches a similar itch. At four OVA episodes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's dumb, it's dark, and it knows exactly what it is.
