Golden Boy : A hilarious short Anime OVA

I was looking for some recommendations of funny anime and I came across Golden Boy and the comments were it is a much watch. I am not really a fan of slice of life, reality animes as I tend to gravitate more towards fantasy or mecha animes but I decided to give it a try since it is relatively short with only 6 episodes in the Anime OVA release.

Watching it made me realize that I have seen a clip of it that I found hilarious which is the swimming scene. If you can't remember it or have not watched it make sure you watch the embedded video. It looked like something from Free (Yes I watched Free! Don't judge me senpai!) but well it is better if you watch the video.

Golden Boy is the story of Kintaro Oe, a 25-year-old freelancer, who before graduating from law school decided to drop out and embark on his journey to study life.

Each episode would have him start with a new part-time job and of course the woman in focus for that episode.

He would often time start off as being an idiot or useless and the woman looking down on him. Which brings us to one of his quirks. He is a pervert. He has some strange fetishes from rubbing his face on toilet bowls to licking stuff.

These moments had me in stitches as he enjoyed being beaten up, kicked, slapped and generally abused. Totally some BDSM shit going on here!

Although he acts and looks like an idiot most of the time he has one another quality that sets him apart from others. It is his indomitable will to finish the job or task at hand. Often times improving things.

In his pursuit to study everything and become knowledgeable, he writes everything in his notebook which contains information, drawings and transcribed notes of what was said.

By the end of the episode, having solved the problem of the woman he is lusting over, he rides off to the sunset, aboard his bike called Crescent moon to the next job.

Speaking of jobs, Kintaro has done a myriad of different jobs which includes not just physical labor work but also one that utilizes his empathy to people and his ingenious out of the box thinking.

By far Episode Three: "Danger! The Virgin's First Love" was my favorite episode and had me laughing so hard. A little warning though you can't watch this with other people around or very young children as the sexual innuendos and imagery is borderline porn. One commenter said that the manga after the first arc became more and more hentai-like.

Yet it is a joy to watch because of the comedy and seeing Kintaro overcome the situation is just amazing.

In an anime world full of Over Powered Protagonists like Kirito from Sword Art Online, Ainz Ooal Gown of Overlord and of course One Punch Man it is refreshing to see someone that overcomes things because of tenacity and hardwork.

So take a trip down the NSFW world of Golden Boy and tell me what is your favorite episode!
