Summary: In the future, a man named Sakura is destined to create the technology for eternal life, which (due to Sakura's lolicon 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 (and lots of other people too) in incredibly bloody ways with her giant spiked club. Good thing she can bring people back to life - if only to grusomely kill them again the next time she loses her temper.

I like it. I have seen all of the episodes. There are only 8 OVA episodes.
Dokuro-chan—A cute angel from the future, age unknown. For the most part, she's just like any other young girl (save for her halo) but where other girls might shout or slap to express their displeasure, Dokuro-chan draws her magical spiked bat "Excalibolg" and brutally clubs her victim (usually Sakura) to death with it. She's also capable of bringing someone back to life with Excalibolg (by chanting "pipiru piru piru pipiru pi," which seems to be nothing but nonsense) as well as turning people into animals. When she isn't beating on Sakura she teases him mercilessly, mostly using sexual innuendo and references—frequently at the worst possible places and times.
Sakura Kusakabe—Eighth grader Sakura's life changed the day Dokuro-chan appeared, he went from the life of a normal boy to one filled with bloody clubbings. In the future, Sakura is apparently destined to create a technology that stops girls aging after they hit 12 years old, which has led to Sakura gaining a reputation as a pedophile around his school, despite that he's not old enough to be considered one. While not overall perverted by nature, Sakura still manages to get into tricky situations with Dokuro-chan, which usually ends up with him getting the business end of her bat.
Sabato-chan—Another angel sent from the future to assassinate Sakura before he can create his "Pedophile's World". Sabato-chan is unusually polite, even when threatening to kill Sakura, frequently ending her sentences with "desu". Her weapon of choice is a deadly shock-baton called "Durandal" which according to Sabato-chan can "char blue whales in the blink of an eye".
Zakuro-chan—Dokuro-chan's younger sister, despite appearing much older than her (according to herself, she is 9 years old). She wears an admiral-like dress, as well as an eyepatch on her left eye, due unknown reasons. Calm and soft-spoken, she is quite proficient in battle. Her weapon is the "killer" wet towel "Eckilsax", which can split into two or more for close combat, as well as stretching itself to bind the opponent.
Here's some trivia I found :
* At the start of the first episode, Dokuro-chan shows Sakura various manga, two of the titles being Urusei Yatsura and Doraemon. This is evidently where she learned what little she knows about life in the modern world.
* Dokuro-chan's bat "Excalibolg" takes its name from two legendary weapons from history, King Arthur's "Excalibur" and the "Gae Bolg," a spear given to Cuchulain, a Celtic mythological hero. It is also possible that the "-bolg" came from the magic sword Caladbolg, belonging to the Irish mythological character Fergus mac Róich.
* Sabato's stun gun "Durandal" is named after the weapon owned by the mythical knight "Roland".
* The story told in episode 3 about a man's "poisonous bug" is a twisted parody of Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", a story about a man being transformed into a bug.
* Dokuro-chan's pillow at the start of episode 4 is covered with images of various sexual positions from the Kama Sutra.
* In episode 4, Dokuro-chan transforms Sakura into Captain Matthew Perry, who forced Japan to re-open its doors to the world in 1854.
* The charming story Dokuro-chan reads to Sakura at the end of episode 4 is a sick parody of "A Dog of Flanders". The original story is about a boy named Nello and his dog, Patrasche. The "famous last scene" Sakura mentions is when both the boy and his dog are found dead, not the version that Dokuro-chan colourfully describes.
* The "Don't be like the Melon Boys!" and the "the sergeant can't go to the toilet any more!" lines that Dokuro-chan shouts at Sakura in episode 5 are references to a conversation the original creator of the Dokuro-chan series had with some friends at a restaurant, in which they were thinking of novels that could be told with one sentence.
* During episode 6, Sakura lists various types of ghosts that might exist. The "cat robot that comes from the future" is Doraemon from the series of the same name, the "reindeer doctor" is Chopper from One Piece, the "nurse witch" is Komugi from Nurse Witch Komugi and the "moving castle" is the castle from Howl's Moving Castle.
* Zakuro-chan's weapon "Eckilsax" is named after Eckisax, the weapon Dietrich takes from Ecke after he kills him in the Dietrich saga.
* The commercial bumper between 7 & 8 refers to Sabato as "Destitute Angel Sabato-Chan".
* In episode 8, Sakura says he will turn Hard Gay so that Dokuro-chan does not leave him.
* In episode 2 of the anime He is My Master Mitsuki attacks Yonutsaka with a version of Excalibolg with blunted spikes after a misunderstanding, and in episode 7 Anna-chan attempts to kill Yonutsaka with Excalibolg after he finds photos of Izumi and finally in episode 11 before Anna-chan leaves.
