Behold, the sword of power! Excaliborg!?

Popularly translated as Club-to-death (or Beating) Angel Dokuro-chan, the fan-favourite ‘slapstick’ comedy “Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan” has been licensed for release in North America by Media Blasters, as just announced by Media Blasters CEO John Sirabella via the AnimeOnDVD forums:

“well since we signed it… i guess announcing dokuro-chan would be something to make you guys happy??? ok so there is an annoucement…”

Club-to-death Angel Dokuro-chan follows the story about a boy named Sakura – a pervert to be, and how he finds himself caught up with an angel from the future – Dokuro – who wields the spiked club “Excaliborg”.  Sakura faces the daily tasks and problems of any normal school boy, except Dokuro has an ulterior motive to try and change his ways before it is too late.  ‘Slapstick’ doesn’t quite cut it for a genre defining word that fits this series, taking a description a little further – Club-to-death Angel Dokuro-chan could be described as ‘consecutive violent retribution for accidental infringement’, but not even that quite covers it.
