Finally! Other people who have actually seen this show! It is the funniest anime I have ever seen, but most people have even heard about it. It is just hilarious. 'And so kintaro will continue to ride his trusty bike and maybe one day, he will save the world....or maybe not'. tare just some classic bits in it 'and so he will ride onto the next city...because he has no choice since his brakes are broken (study study study)' And some of the lessons that he writes down in his little notebook, 'today i had a very educational experience. I tried to look backwards, but unfortunately I was already looking that way. It hurt. Todays lesson, the human head cannot turn 360 degrees.'
I am a woman, and I found Golden boy to be absolutely hilarious. I guess I could be offended by the fact that most of the female characters are portrayed as scantily-clad sex objects, but men could be just as offended by the main male character, Kintaro, who makes all men seem like sex-crazy dorks. Just don't take the show too seriously. It does have a lot of animated nudity and dirty sex jokes, so don't watch it if that type of thing offends you. Also, I suggest watching it in the english dub rather than subtitled, because the english voice of Kintaro is much funnier than the japanese voice.
Seriously, I think he was extremely daft and he really isn't afraid to be a complete utter pervert! Doug Smith must have had the time of his life when he played Kintaro for the English dub like he was pure nuts lol! The humour I tell ya, was so funny that my jaws nearly broke from laughing so much while watching this anime!
Ladies and gents, if you ever feel low or just fed up with life, Kintato would be at your service in making you laugh all day long!

Simply put, there are two parts of this series that made me cry till my eyes fell out. First: The part where he was set to wash the toilet, but ended up drinking the toilet water while imagining it was the hot director giving him a golden shower!!! (I laughed so hard!)
Second: The part where he tried to prove worthy of a swimming school instructor. He seemed like a pro diving in, but as expected, he couldn't swim (proper at least^^). However the funny part of this was when he finally reached the end and said "how was that" or something. That was so friggin hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.
If you get the chance to see this anime series, I strongly recommend it. One of the best I've seen.
Definitely the funniest!

Although I'm a girl, thankfully I have a sense of humor and realize that this really IS a funny anime! Watching it does give you an overwhelming feeling that it's definitely a guy show but that doesn't take away from the fact that its hilarious! 10/10
