Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (撲殺天使ドクロちゃん, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan? Lit. Club-To-Death Angel Dokuro-chan) is a fiction series written by Masaki Okayu and illustrated by Torishimo centering around a young boy and an angel from the future who constantly gets him into trouble and kills him violently and repeatedly with a giant spiked club, only to resurrect him seconds later.
source: wiki anyone?

Plot 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.

Wow, this series is gooooooood, in a way, that is. Freaking hilarious I must say, plus the bloody violent scenes all over episodes which makes this pretty unique. Cute, guro, ecchi all packed in a pretty short series. The Op of season 1 is recycled back to be used as the concept of season 2 OP. The ED of season 1 is sweet, I like it.
I start watching this by season 2, which was broadcasted in Japan early this month; and just now finish watching the first season which was released 2 years ago (omg that's freaking 2 years!) Frankly speaking, I regret for not watching the season 1 earlier than the second one. Well it's just 8 episodes, 15 minutes each anyway, so it doesn't really feels like marathoning (done watching within about 2 hours).

Speaking of which, there seems to be some stories still remain hidden from the first episode. One thing to note is that at the start of season 2, Zakuro is already living together with Dokuro and Sakura, despite the fact of what happened at the end of season 1. How did she suddenly get along with Dokuro, and act as if nothing was happened...?
Second, the animal student (monkey, dog, giraffe and deer). In season 1 we already know how there are monkey and dog student, how they're transformed. But in season 2 there are another 2 (giraffe and deer) which I don't remember seeing them appear in season 1. I do believe there are no OVA for this series...
