Synopsis

Kintarou Ooe is a specialist in part-time work, riding all over the highways and byways of Japan on his trusty steed, the Mikazuki 5, and finding employment wherever he can. His adventures bring him knowledge and experience that can't be taught in a classroom, from political corruption to the delicacy of a young woman's heart. With nothing but the open road before him—not to mention the many beautiful women along the way—Kintarou pursues his spirit of education while attempting to hold down his various odd jobs, however undignified they may be. As he learns from each task he takes on, who knows what could happen? He might even be able to save the world one day. One thing is for sure—this will all be very educational!

This is the type of show that probably shouldn't work, especially not for me. I'm generally dismissive of ecchi, especially when it feels gratuitous, and this show kind of leans into that with all the breasts on display and scenes of sexual arousal. I also generally don't like harems, yet this show leans into that with Kintaro picking up women episode after episode only to leave them chasing after him. Couple that with a horned up lead who falls for every woman and toilet he finds but is somehow great at everything he tries and this should really be putting me off...

...so why isn't it? ...

Mixed Feelings
Golden Boy is a classic 1990s ecchi that has a lot of really funny moments, but also a lot of extremely uncomfortable ones. Each episode focuses on the main protagonist, Kintarou, getting a new part time job to fulfill his 2 desires in life: to study more about life and to lust over an attractive woman.

Sometimes an episode can show how much Kintarou truly wants whats best for the woman of the episode, while other times ...

So it is 2019 and this is a review for an anime that is now 24 yerars old....mmmm..... why bother?
Me being relatively new to the wonderful wacky world of anime and manga, I somehow found this one via someone's list, and being a bit of an ecchi fan I decided to give it a go.
Story: the premise of the story is ok, it's just that the mc's behaviour and the way he leaves the various jobs is just not reasonable in most cases. Also, his obsession with hugging toilets really let the main character down a lot. The one redeeming feature was ...

18 of the Funniest Anime Faces Ever

Some characters are funny because of all the crazy antics they get up to. But others just have the right kind of physiognomy, which make them prone to pulling off some funny anime faces - intentionally or unintentionally.
