I like Death Note, Boy Princess, Gankutsou, Hellsing & Let's Bible mainly
Gankutsuou is okay story-wise and is built on really cool concept (Basically a space-era version of The Count of Monte Cristo), but the artwork is like a bad acid trip, I kid you not.
I know we watched it in anime club & could barely look at the intro (eye twitches & stuff that make me worry bout possible mild seizures). But the Count of Monte Cristo in space is awesome cause it combines modern and historical nerd pretty nicely

(usually, when writers try to "modernize" a classic/old story I think it totally sucks). But honestly, enduring Excel Saga in club made me want to consider cutting & otherwise hurting myself in order to escape Excel's voice & story...

So I'll take a Gankutsou acid trip or possible seizure issue over Excel Saga ANY DAY!! !
I keep forgetting what the name of this one anime my friends have mentioned. But it's about a guy who will eventually build a pedophile machine & end up creating immortality... so an angel is sent to kill him but keeps falling in love w/ him & killing him/resurrecting him (plenty of gore from what I've been told)... this I've never seen but its supposed to be more disturbing than Excel Saga... and oh boy I could give you creepy details about that one (everything from annoying voices too switching bodies, dying & coming back, strange lesbian rape/seduction involving like robot women or something, the world drowning in blood, heads popping out of vortexes, random bunny mating & again pedophelia... etc.).
In general I

anime, but some should NEVER be viewed... or risk brain damage in more than one way.
Ah, Excel Saga. I did stop watching that after about episode 3. It's funny, but Excel is just way too annoying, I can barely hear what she said. Puni Puni Poemy (which parodies the magical girl genre) is in the same vein... matter of fact I believe the same people behind Excel Saga are behind that too. Poemy and Excel sound a lot alike...
As for the anime you are thinking of, that would be Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan. I haven't seen all of it, but I did see the first episode where they made fun of two of my least favorite world leaders: George H.W. Bush, former President of the U.S., and Kim Jong Ill, current lead nutcase of North Korea.
Oh, speaking of the latter, there's supposed to be this anime just released in Japan about the former Prime Minister who just stepped down (can't remember his name, but he was trying to get rid of the U.S. Futema Base in Okinawa, which was why he was forced to resign). Anyways, apparently he liked to play majonng (spelling?), so the anime parodies him as this really badass majohnng player who uses games of majohnng as a means of diplomacy. It features quite a lot of world leaders including Kim Jong Ill, Mao Zedong formerly of Communist China (who gets resurrected as a giant Frankenstein-esque creature), and even Bush/Cheney from the good ol' US of A. I believe it's called "Reform Without Wasted Draws." Try checking it out, its hilarious. Subbed only, but still funny.
EDIT: AH-HA! Found it motherf@#$ers! Subbed and everything! Feast your eyes upon this anime among anime. I give you Reform Without Wasted Draws: The Legend of Koizumi!
