Golden Boy

Golden Boy is about a twenty five year old guy, named Kintaro, who had completed all credits for college but dropped out right before graduation. He has decided to study all he can learn about life. He now specializes himself in day-dreaming, temporary part time jobs dealing with different areas of interest, and lets not forget, beautiful girls. Kintaro travels on his trusty pink bicycle, keeping notes about what he learns about life in his notebook, and living his life in the happiest of ways. Kintaro is a very caring guy, always trying to help out and learn new things from different people. Even though people try underestimate him during the series, they can only to be proved how great and determined Kintaro can be, aside of his naughty little toilet fetish. Each episode he gets a new job, finding himself in the difficult situations, and always managing to have a gorgeous woman involved in the story.

Golden Boy is an anime with really no plot what so ever, but for some reason, it just made me love it even more. The whole time it just focuses on Kintaro going from temporary job to temporary job always finding these beautiful women, with different stories to each episode. I laughed so hard on this anime, I cried. The animation was good for the most part; it would go from extreme detail to kindergarten drawing, which just made it even more ridiculously funny. The one and only main character, being Kintaro, had great development; he was very expressive, emotional, determinative, crazily kind person with high value. You just couldn’t help but love him, even with his toilet fetish and perverted ways.

I loved the different aspects they show during the series about life and people always in the funniest of ways. The music was good, I loved the opening theme. I also loved how they show him traveling on his bicycle in the opening, I don’t know why, and I can’t really tell you why, but I just loved it. The English dub version was pretty good, so I would say you could watch it subbed or dubbed. I think in the English dub, his voice talent expressed him better, and just matched his personality better.

The sense of humor is very sexual and perverted, which can be offensive to the people who don’t find that sense of humor appropriate. I personally find implication of this type of comical humor hilarious.

I think if you have a perverted sense of humor, you will really love this anime. It has brief nudity, not really that it has a lot of sex, or nudity, but the strong sexual humor taints this anime!!! Golden Boy is for the mature audience, eighteen and older. Even though this is a mature anime, it will bring tears to your eyes it is so comical. I would say, if you like Golden Boy, I would also recommend you to take the time and watch GTO, Great Teacher Onizuka, which is some what on the same level of humor, and reminded me a lot of each other.

Golden Boy anime review by realanimefan.

First of all, you have to be a little open minded if you want to fully enjoy this story. Second be prepared for some perverted moments. Third, if you've overcome the first two get ready to laugh your butt OFF!!!!


Guys might enjoy this series a lot more than women would, and i being a guy of course enjoyed, no loved this anime series. I found it hilarous and entertaining. The main character Kintaro Oe is one of my favorite anime guys of all time, he seems to be able to say or do the things that all guys think or do and like most guys that live, he's clueless, but some how everything works out for him in the end no matter what he does which is what all guys really would like to screw up fix it and make your self look good, while all the girls fall madly in love with him! The old time theroy of Japenes is much better than English is almost always correct accept for this anime me having seen both japenese and english have to say the english is way better and even funnier, they were able to capture Kintaro's personality so much better in Englsh than in Japenese so I suggest watching thsi in English you won't be disapointed I promise! I only wished they made more anime series like this. The one thing that really peterbed me beyond madness was the fact that they only have 6 episodes and trust me you want more, this series leaves at a wanting state. Overall I would suggest this series to anyone even girls who can deal with some perverted moments! read more

Golden Boy is personally one of the most interesting and enjoyable anime there is. The concept is so simple yet so attractive. It is quite a shame that only 6 episodes were ever produced because i doubt that this anime could ever get boring. However, the ride is fun while it lasts.

The story revolves around Kintaro, just your average ordinary guy. However, what attracts you the most is his utmost and utter dedication to his jobs and promises which are a part of every single episode in which he finds himself at a random job. Carrying around his little journal which he fills with what he learns. His energy and perverted nature as well as his occasional random boners towards his very sexy bosses will make you laugh. Other than his little fetish nature of hugging the toilet seats of his very sexy bosses, Kintaro is a very inspirational character.

This anime could have easily been stretched beyond just 6 episodes because there are a limitless amount of jobs that he could have taken on but nonetheless, this is a great anime that everyone must check out.

Overall:
Honestly I really don't care about others opinions but this anime is the funniest of all from this millennium. It's only 6 short episodes and it still cracks anyone who sees it. My only wish is i'd hoped they would have made more episodes but nevertheless this still rates one of my favorite.

Animation:
what can i say? The animation is top notch and flawless. The characters look good, the art, presentation and everything else.

Sound:
the music is not his strong points but the approach along the anime is enough to like. i liked the characters voices because they sound hentai or perverted.

Story:
the story is the support of this greatness. A college-dropout who entitled his life to study rather the world around him and naturally women is basically his world. the plot is really perverted and rated mature. The characters look very comical and the women aren't shy to show their skins...lol. I wouldn't say much about development rather than the main character occasionally finding new woman to study upon with. read more

One of the funniest shows of all time, Granted I am judging this by Anime Comedy Standards and not As a work of art. If I was judging it among history it would be somewhere in the middle of the top 100 anime shows of all time. But in terms of any Anime Comedy I've seen this one is probably easily number one.

Story: It's very simple Boy travels on Bike trying to learn new things, boy meets sexy babe he wants to get jiggy with, Boy pisses off Girl, Girl realizes that Boy was an absolute genius and demands that he take her sexually, except then she realizes it's too late. For Six Episodes this formula is repeated, and to be honest there are some laugh out loud hilarious scenes: a scene involving Keitaro and a Toilet Water Shooter had me crying with laughter and the other scene that was really funny is when Keitaro accidently makes out with another guy. There are so many dirty gags in this story. But for some reason the sense of comedic timing is impeccable.

Art: By Today's standards the art would be around a 5 but since this was an early show I'm going to go easy on it and give it a 10, the animation tells the story here and that's what matters.

Sound: Probably one of the funniest english dubs of all time. Doug Smith is actually not a professional voice-over actor he is actually a full time artist. Yet, he some how manages to turn this Role into Gold. Kintaro Oe was born to be played by Doug Smith and he demonstrates an incredible sense of timing. All the episodic characters are well played as well. But in all seriousness, Doug Smith owns this show.

Character: Kintaro Oe is a fantastic character, he is very stereotypically male and does seem to be very very horny, but what I find funny is how well they incorporate his weakness into the humor of the story.

Enjoyment: I really don't need to say more, I enjoyed this series Fully.

Overall this show is probably without a doubt in the Top 3 in terms of anime comedies. I would think Chobits and another show are up there as well. But yes this should definitely be required watching for any serious Otaku. read more

Story: Study, Study, Study!!! His name is Kintaro, and he likes to study. This OVA, like many others, is episodic, and at the end, it ties them all together in a very nice way. The consistent plot is about a man named Kintaro, who dropped out of Law School even after completing all of the necessary classes, has become a nomad and roams the world on his bicycle, in search of love and knowledge. And he finds it alright. Each episode starts good, and wraps itself up good, giving you a nice feeling. Although all the episodes follow fairly the same template, you won't find yourself getting bored. The story is original, and when you finish the series, (which you may do all in one sitting) you will have a nice feeling inside.

Art: For when it was made, this OVA has some very nice art. The backdrops and characters are detailed, and they can be compared to what GTO looks like. Very nice art, all the female characters are attractive (That's what really matters, right??!) and to top it all off, the titties are drawn well. Err... Yeah, I'm not gonna jump around it, Golden Boy is a rather sexual series, though all done in good taste.

Sound: Watch this dubbed. It is great. The man who does Kintaro's voice is an absolute genius, and will have you in tears with his antics. Other than that, the show is fairly good, with the voices fitting to the characters, and the background noises sound nice.

Character: Although Kintaro is the only character that we see consistently throughout every episode, the the characters that are introduced episode-to-episode have a good amount of depth and good personalities. You can like them, and probably relate to at least one of them. Kintaro is what really keeps this series going though; he one of my favorite characters of all time. Sweet, fun-loving, eccentric, and loves to study. I cannot stress how much Kintaro loves to study. As I said before, the females are very attractive (who am I kidding? They are downright sexy), and they have nice tits too (sorry, sorry, but it is TRUE).

Enjoyment: I enjoyed this series very much, and will probably re-watch it. This series is massively enjoyable, and I would say that if you don't like this series, you have no sense of humor, and are probably either: A) A cardboard box, or B) A toaster oven.

Overall: A great series, I would highly recomend it to anybody, regardless if they like OVA's or comedies or not. I would say that it would be alright for a mature fifteen year old to watch this series, because it is sexual, and has one scene of female masturbation that isn't too graphic, but isn't appropriate for a younger audience. Oh, and if you were offended by my tittie references in this review, don't watch Golden Boy, because you will be disgusted out of your mind.

Bottom line: Watch this series. Now. read more

Golden Boy is... interesting.

Its in essence, an ecchi. However, I feel that the underlaying background story and characters of the show were very well written, just the ecchi got in the way a little too much. If Golden Boy was just Kintarou going from place to place and helping people without his sex drive constantly getting in the way I feel it could have been a much better series.

Kintarou himself is a very interesting and great character. You expect most characters in ecchi anime like this one to fit in a specific role, dumb and honest, smart and sly, ect. At first Kintarou comes off as the dumb honest type, who wants to try and prove himself in various fields to impress woman, but constantly fails, which he does do. But Kintarou is a very intellegent person, who seems to have the skill of learning things that take most people years to accomplish in a matter of weeks. Too bad in the end hes always trying to use those skills to impress a girl.

...or is he? Kintarou always starts off with the seeming motivation to impress a female of choice, but if he does manage to get that girl to come around and like him, he inevitably runs away before any romance can develop. Which leads me to think all this 'impress the girls' plot is just something Kintarou is trying to see how various woman react to various situations, something given his brains I could see him doing.

Overall, the ecchi really got in the way of what could have been a great story, but its still worth at least one watch though IMO. read more

Golden Boy is a series about a perverted yet comical main character named Kintaro Oe, and his quest to to learn and study. Kintaro comes across many different types of women and falls in love with each of them. Many of the moments in the anime are extremely funny and perverted. This is more of a guys anime then a girls, but if you like perverted, stupid humor, then this is the series for you. I highly reccomend this series to anyone who would like to laugh there ass off. Golden Boy is a classic in my opinion, and a must see for any avid anime fan. read more

If your looking for a comedy/ecchi title, look no futher. Golden Boy is most certainly a masterpiece. The animation is old skool animation no cgi crap these days. The coloring, shading, transitions are perfect. The story is not a complex story that can get you confused or question what's going on. Its a clear cut story that is original and unique. Character development is great for an ova series with only 6 episodes, and you can watch this over and over again. I cannot count how many times i cried because of how hilarious this title is. The ecchi only makes it even funnier too. This is without a doubt one of the best anime titles and out there and I most certainly recommend you buy this on dvd for your personal collection. Great job Mr. Tatsuya Egawa and Hiroyuki Kitakubo! read more
