Evening all, today I bring to you the hilarious series Golden Boy.
This series is an old one from the 90's with some rather iffy material within. But it does have an entertaining amount of humour within. Also, for those viewers who like a bit of fan service, this series is the one for you 😅
This is from a scene where Kintarou is caught by the Madame President in front of her toilet. All the while our main character has some rather dubious thoughts regarding the toilet and Madame President!
Year of release: 1995
Aired: October 1995 to June 1996
Number of seasons: 1
Number of episodes: 6
Studio: APPP
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Ecchi
Episode run time: 28 minutes per episode
Age rating: R+
My rating: 7/10
Kintarou Oee is a mid 20's mid 20s year old man who decided to drop out of college after achieving all of the required credits. Instead, he decides that he will learn the ways of life by doing temporary jobs all over the land. The jobs have a vast range of professions, with continued note-taking throughout his adventures.
Along with his pervy love of all things beautiful women!
Riding his trusty pink bicycle across the land, living the best life that he can.
Golden Boy doesn't really have much of a story, in fact I don't feel that the story in the series can even be called a series. It really is that loose a story.
The story focuses on Kintarou moving from temporary job to temporary job, capturing the hearts of beautiful women along the way.
The art style was a big draw for me. It has its serious elements, but the next moment it goes onto such basic animation that it's hilarious.
I have watched it in both dubbed and Subbed, and both versions are great. A great voice range for both, which is always great to see.
The humour is very sexualised/perverted from the get-go. So if you are easily offended, then it might not be the best way to go. There are some questionable parts with regards to a student...
If you enjoyed Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) then this should be right up your street.
The opening theme is called Opening by Joyo Katayanagi. Listening to it again now takes me back to my youthful days watching anime as a kid. The '90s anime had some great songs that we sadly don't see in anime anymore.
The ending song is called Study A Go Go! by the Golden Girls. Unfortunately, I cannot find a clear version to show you. Which is a bit of a shame, as I remember that it was a good song.
