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!

He now specializes himself in day-dreaming, temporary part time jobs dealing with different areas of interest, and lets not forget, beautiful girls. Kintaro travels on his trusty pink bicycle, keeping notes about what he learns about life in his notebook, and living his life in the happiest of ways. Kintaro is a very caring guy, always trying to help out and learn new things from different people. Even though ...

Overview:

Do you enjoy really lowbrow comedy? Do you laugh from idiotic shows like Family Guy and find yourself embarassed that you actually laughed. I do!

Golden Boy came out in 1995 and never aired on TV here in the US, but the VHS hit US shelves and it was fairly well recieved by the few US anime critics at the time.

This is one of those anime that you have to watch when you are young or growing up with to like it. Sure I find dirty humor likable, but its just a classic that presets all the other kinds of anime that have the same sorts of story line points as golden boy. I did like the freeter(フリーター furītā) idea since it isnt presented as often as I would have liked in some harem and other kinds of animes.

The art is okay for its time. The sound didnt match the picture for the subbed and the dubbed version although i guess it depends on ...

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.
