Summary: One for the money!
Review: Kintaro Oe is a 25 year old freeter as he calls himself. this is an anime about men and the way their minds work towards women they like or have sexual feelings about! I am female and I loved it I thought it was hilarious!!! WATCH THIS SHOW!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sex and speed -- a classic
Review: Kintaro's fifth job is as a scullery worker in the sprawling country estate of one of the richest men in Japan. Although we never meet him, we do meet his daughter, a 20 year-old geisha whose sheer elegance and grace sends Kintaro into a flushed tizzy.

This dark-eyed beauty is not without her secrets, however. After being dismissed for his distracted efforts, Kintaro follows the young heiress to a secret building, where he learns her hidden shame -- she makes love to a motorcycle she calls "Bimo-chan". Regular human men, she says, are weak and pathetic compared to the awesome, gas-combusting power of her motorbike. Not without her sense of fair play, she offers herself to Kintaro...provided he beat her in a race through a winding mountain pass.

The ensuing bike race is perhaps one of the funniest animated sequences on film, rewarding numerous replays. Exciting and hysterical, this outlandish, unlikely race elevates Kintaro to the level of super hero.

Overall, this is by far the strongest in the Golden Boy series, sporting some _seriously_ well-done animation, particularly during the race sequence. It also makes terrific use of music, as do all of the films. This is also one of the raunchiest episodes, containing gratuitous nudity and self-gratification with a motorcycle. That having been said, this is a can't-miss for any anime fan.

_Avoid_ the dubbed version at all costs. The original voices in this episode are a treat.

Summary: Funniest anime of all time?
Review: Study study study study! Study this DVD from front to back, you won't regret it!
There is a good reason why Golden Boy has a solid 5 star rating - this cartoon is really THAT FUNNY! Kintaro Oe is a champ! Is he an wandering idiot or is he an actual genius on a mission? Whatever he is the women sure do love him. And we are talking about some hot hot HOT women! Golden Boy is loaded with some of the most hilarious scenes ever seen in cartoon but the standout epsode has got to with the politician's daughter. I almost cried from laughing so hard watching that ep. over and over again! The swim contest between him and the teacher is a classic moment too! :D These are some of my favorite Kintaro quotes:

"So, how do you like my swimming?"
"C-Base? If A base is kissing, and B base is touching, then...YES! YES! C-BASE!"
"My angel's cute big butt sits here. I shouldn't think such thoughts. But... I can't help it!"
"You wont even give me a chance! You're not qualified to be a chief instructor, Chief Instructor!"
"Those notes were priceless! You can't replace that knowledge!! Awww $hit!"

"Hm? I know those."

Do yourself a big favor - buy this DVD and prepare to laugh your a$$ off!

Summary: porn or not
Review: The cover of this DVD is, well, eye-catching. It is a very good story containing a 25 year old dude that has a very good eye for women. He gets cought in a lot of stuff but always comes out ok. This is not a porno, or really that bad at all. it does show some nudity and the bouncieness (if you know what I mean, haha). The anime is a very good watch and a suggest you get it.

Summary: absolute must see
Review: This is some of the funniest anime I have ever seen and I have seen more than my fair share. Any heterosexual red blooded male who likes anime will love this series. The innuendo and suggestive scenes are woven into the story in a perfectly hilarious fashion.
The artwork is very true to the manga form, and the emotional expressions of the characters are a joy to watch.

The only downside to this series is that there are only 6 of them. However, on the positive side, since there are only 6 episodes it's easy to watch them all in one or two sittings. The cool thing is the last episode ties in to all of the previous ones, and brings the story to a full circle but still leaving it open ended for our main character to continue on into new adventures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The anime that got me hooked
Review: This is the story of Kintaro Oe. He's a 25 year old graduate of Tokyo University law school. But he dropped out before receiving his degree. He is now a "freeder", one who moves from job to job. He is one of those "lovable loser" types. In this first disk, he works as a janitor for a all female computer software company, works on the campaign for a crocked mayor while tutoring the mayor's sultry late-teenage daughter, Nyoko. And saving a noodle shop owners daughter from marrrying the wrong man.
The animation isn't the best, however, Kintaro's facial expressions will keep you rolling. The female characters are VERY well animated. It is very well written, and very funny for those who enjoy these off the wall humor. You should also get the second disk in the set, which continues Kintaro's misadventures. I personally wished the series would have lasted longer than it did. It's a great buy.

Summary: Golden boy is GOLDEN
Review: To me, this has to be the FUNNIEST anime series of all time. True the humer mainly consists of perverted toilet humer but ISN'T THAT THE POINT? When I watched this series I instantly fell in love with the characters. AND I PROMISE THAT YOU WILL TO. Another thing that I noticed about this series is unlike most, the dubbing is excellent. I myself prefer to watch anime in the original japanese, but the dubbing cast has done an breath taking job. I would even venture to say that it is better than the original jap. This DVD contains the first 3 episodes in the 6 episode series in which the main character Kintaro though three diffent jobs such as a working for a computer software company whose whole staff consists of women, a person working on a election campain, and working at a noodle shop.
I really suggest the series to any fan of anime. Though not really for young children. But more along the lines of teens and young adults

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best [money] ever spent!!
Review: What a great set!! Volume 2 definitely wrapped up all the unfinished endings. You must get both volumes to fully enjoy this series.

Once you see the first episode, you will totally be hooked. The series kinda makes me think of the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Kintaro definitely gets the best of everyone. He has inspired me to learn more and more.

I'll keep this short. I just started with Anime, and I loved this set. I laughed my [butt] off from beginning to end...and so will you.
