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!

I've re-watched Golden Boy probably 4 or 5 times now. It's hilarious, and everyone I've shown it to has loved it (a very binge-able show since the whole thing is ~3 hours). It's a really low commitment for some timeless humor! The six episodes follow similar premises, each with their own little moral to the story but each with their own twist, and it all ties together in the final episode nicely. Kintaro is probably my favorite MC of all time, he's the goat fr fr

Mixed Feelings
Golden Boy is such a difficult anime for me to say anything about. In a way, I don't really feel comfortable in the fact that I've actually enjoyed it (quite a lot, to be honest, as it can be delightfully funny (https://youtu.be/bHmBSfci0yE)¹ and also very inspiring (https://youtu.be/a-SDwYnIDJ0)), since it can get pretty misogynistic in the way it portrays some women, and that the leitmotiv of the show is that the main character is always, somehow, better at their job than the women he confronts and flirts with despite not knowing anything about the subject in question at the beginning of the episode and that the ...

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 ...
