Now that's how you do an ending. It was satisfying to come back full circle, the girls make one last appearance + they actually do something to help him out in return. I didn't expect anything else for such a short and stupidly fun series. It definitely would have dragged on if it kept going.

The scene where Kintarou was looking at the workstations - I'm sure the animators preferred drawing the desks clean than actually doing it haha.

I can't decide if this is a 9 or 10 at same time it feels like a cliff hanger but at same time it feels like a good ending... How Educational!

i came in with high expectations but left disappointed. doesn't seem different from newer ecchi titles honestly yet garners a lot of attention for some reason

Love it, all the girls he's met so far helped him out with the final episode.
Study, Study, STUDY!

I actually didnt think the anime would be this good, the comedy is so well done
The sexualized theme actually does it justice instead of all the other ecchi shows that have come after and are still coming out.

I think we can all agree that the ending was perfect. A fitting conclusion for a cult classic. One of the most praise-worthy animes out there indeed.

It’s a pretty funny series, I would try to read the manga but a lot of people are saying to me to not touch it and to pretend it doesn't exist, so I'm not sure anymore xD

Kintaro is inspiring, always eager to learn new things, never giver up, stays positive. I wish I were like him... Absolutely enjoyed every episode, ofc some moments were questionable, but overall-good!

pretty great episode. i liked this ending a lot since all of the main characters came together. obviously it had the classic toilet scene, and i love the ending that always stays consistent (him leaving). i switched to dub halfway through and this episode is so funny in dub compared to sub. great show, coming from someone who hates ecchi

It's kind of disappointing.
the anime is full of different fetish like toilet fetish, bike masturbating, spit eating, ass leaking etc.
People actually liked is so much!!! (score of 8...lol)
it's not bad per say, but its not very good either

The only episode I kinda liked. Yes, filled with contrived and cheesy writing but still enjoyable to some extent. I also liked how meta it all got during certain moments.

In general, this set of OVAs wasn't really of my enjoyment. Girls were quite shallow as characters and though Kintarou is actually a good guy, his horny personality was way too cringey for my taste.
I also didn't like the comedy and the ecchi was mostly meh to my eyes. Scenes with Reiko touching herself in episode 5 are the exception tho.

3/10 - Episodes 3 and 6 were the only decent ones and Ayuko remains as the hottest girl in my book.

unapologetic power fantasy for men that I wished I enjoyed more because I like unapologetic power fantasy for men . it´s not boring, but could have been more creative and funnier. And Noriko is underrated.

This was probably the best episode, I liked how he relied in every girl he met in the past episodes and how they were willing to help him out. This episode was the funniest and had the best plot, plus a satisfying ending.

Overall I didn't like Golden Boy... But I'm glad I finished it, I was aboutt o drop it at episode 2 and and again at episode 4, but since it was so short I stayed with it.

What saved this OVA for me were episodes 3 and 6, the show was just too silly, the comedy was just stupid and it relied too much on boobs and preverted moments to keep the viewer interested... Anyway, it ends with a good note since this episode made me laugh and end the series with a a smile.


Exactly my thoughts! :D I found most of the humor very cheap and boring, but 3rd and 6th episodes had some merit to them.

Kin-chan has some hard toilet fetish. Wouldn't be surprised if he's into scat as well.

Ironic that the episode about animation is the last episode of this anime. Wish there were more episodes. It's short but sweet.

I loved that all the girls from the previous returned in the last episode! Epic crossover. My favorite girl is probably Noriko-chan.

I love how all the girls he encountered in the previous episodes came to help him in the final episode. I would have loved this show even more if it wasn't ecchi. Kintaro is a good man.

Ah, we have come to the end of a series again, first of all, this episode contained a nice criticism against the overly strict and heavy working conditions of animators and people in the anime industry in general, so it earned an extra point for me here, apart from that, throughout the episode, Kintarou's asking for help from the people he left a trace in his life and their reunion made me feel very nostalgic, it was nice, it was nice, and the anime gave the message it wanted to give beautifully:
"STUDY, STUDY, STUDY", not to give up no matter what and that everything can be achieved in a short time with the power of belief and hard work.

This episode was the best one. ADV dub for sure made it way more enjoyable than it should. Unfortunately I am a little crybaby when it comes to fan service so 6/10 is best I can give.

Ngl for some time i always pushed this anime in the back Of my watchlist, till yesterday & i regret from not watching it sooner! I watched it in the Dub version bc i saw some clips from it & it was too Good not to try the dub version. So imo this anime is perfect in humor, animation & story. Yes it is simplistic in the plot, yet it delivers phenomenally the PLOT (iykwim). I rarely laugh so much from anime & the dub enhanced the already funny scenes to another level. I haven't laughed that hard that i choked myself from so much laughter. I definetely will check the manga out bc i wanna more fo this masterpiece.

So only for the comedy in it is 9/10 for me (i love such vulgar & adult humor) ,but with the dub & the phenomenal animation that still holds to this day i will give it 10/10!


Highly recommend! I went blind in it & couldn't be more satisfied after finishing it!

Now that i rewatched the full series for probably the 4th time, i should have decided that this is the favorite episode, ironically the one not adapted from the manga (read only one volume of the following story a long time ago and it was way darker than the animated series) and the one that goes full meta in the world of animators, straight up telling the audience how harsh the environment is without edulcorating the pill and having a cameo of its own creator.

Watching the return all the previous main characters of the episodes before and being helpful to Kintaro in different roles was wonderful... but Chie is my favorite, possibly even more pure, sweet and innocent than Noriko, and it helps that in italian dub she's voiced by the same actress of Sailor Moon / Tsukino Usagi, met in real life in the summer of 2014. Overall, Golden Boy never stops to be a fun nostalgic experience, despite being too short.

Its amusing to see an insider view of animation industry, with the addition of few images being a good interlude

And seeing all the old waifus returning in this episode is kinda wholesome too

This is, indeed, an experience

it was great to see all the girls come back in this last episode and help kintaro.

kintaro once more proved he's the most chad mc of all time.

great episode.

i really liked how behind all this adult comedy and ecchi there were subtle lessons hidden and how it managed to show us that kintaro is a great man.

overall 9/10.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Kinda iconic how the last episode was about making anime, really happy how all previous episode female characters had their own small roles inside this one but then again, maybe it was meant to be this short of a series. Kintaro is one of the most interesting and bizzarely beloved characters I've met in comedy animes, kinda great to see him still hold study philosophy after everything he had already seen during his travels around Japan

Imagine if these series had 15-20 episodes, this could've been such an legendary comedy anime, maybe even the greatest, but now with 6 episodes and only half of them being really great, just doesn't let me to enjoy this whole expierence as much as I wanted. In the end its a great try and truly iconic piece of 90s anime

Didn't know we were going to get lewd shirobako for the last episode, and they did indeed bring everybody back for such an event.

Pretty crazy, made even crazier by watching the dub. Best girl? There's tits and ass flying everywhere (although actually quite calm in that regard for this episode), best girl would have to be the girl we met this episode, Chie.

Was surprisingly quite wholesome at times, as was this episode. Easy 6.9. Very interesting indeed, but wish it went even more crazy ngl.
