| Summary: |
If I could say only one thing about this anime, it would be don't let your mother see it! This is one series which doesn't even try to hide its intent. So be warned, if sexual humor offends you, then don't even consider this title.
The central focus of this series is Kintaro Oi, college dropout and skirt-chaser extrordanaire. This is one guy anyone could root for (from the male perspective, mind you). Look at his lifestyle: he's good at everything he tries, he has total freedom, and women constantly fall for him (although they usually don't realize it until it's too late). Of course, he's got a perverted side and this lands him in some awkward and hilarious situations.
While the general theme of the series is pretty consistent, the episodes tended to range in quality. Some were no-holds-barred in sexual perversion, particularly the second and fifth episodes. Others, like the third and sixth episode, were a bit more serious. There were some very funny bits, such as Kintaro's race against the Olympic swimmer and his attempts to save an innocent girl from a corporate sleazebag. However, at times this series tried too hard to be funny or had some glaring plot holes (name a software company that *doesn't* backup its computer files). If you enjoy toilet humor (in this case, literally) and are able to overlook a few lapses, then you'll probably find this rather humorous.
Golden Boy is definitely one example of when the English version is better than the original. Kintaro's English voice actor was much better at capturing Kintaro's personality, and as a result, the dubbed version was funnier. However, if you're completely against dubbed anime (you know who you are) then you'll probably enjoy the subtitled version as well.
If you're looking for some laughs laced with sexual perversion, then look no further than Golden Boy. It's not the best comedy out there, but it's pretty good nonetheless. |

Golden Boy is perverted laugh riot. The story follows Kintaro Oie as he wanders Japan working on part time jobs, learning about life, but mostly getting into some kind of situation that qualifies as sexual harassment.
This is hand down one of the funniest anime's I've watched in awhile, and that's just because of the combo of a funny script and the over the top english dub that just blows the original japanese out of the water. Not to mention the early 90's animation that still holds up pretty well.
I got hooked after the first episode, ( read more)

I got hooked after the first episode, its borderline perverse nature just leads into more funny situations.
(warning: you do occasionally see tits in this series. (it IS an ECCHI title) so watch at your discretion.) ( show less)

the awkward little creepy pervert of a main character makes this a hell of an entertaining experience although the premise should have made this boring and tired.
PS. watch the dub if you can, the characters are much funnier sounding in that.

Ok, I first saw Golden Boy back in the days of VHS. My knowledge of anime at the time was VERY limited as a result. I was in stitches by the end of the first episode, and while the plot was thin and basic, it was a funny series. Looking back, if I was to watch it again (and thats a sign I enjoyed it, some series I'll watch and never see again) I'd still find it funny (if for different reasons of course).
If you expect serious or deep humor, this isnt it. But if you're looking for something that is light and funny, with lots of goofball antics, ( read more)

Don't watch this if you have issues with humor that can be seen as low brow (or as some call it toilet humor), but if you appreciate a good laugh, regardless of its origin, again, definitely watch this.

laughed my ass off from start to finish in this anime.
story was probably made up as they where drawing and the same with the dialouges.
but with entertainment this show bets everything.
i mean a guy who is smarter than a supercomputer and totally perverted is just awesome.
but its definetly a guy show, no complex love or feelings. but that just makes it better in my point of view.'
must see! ;)
