Golden Boy

I watched the funniest Anime I think I have ever seen tonight. It was called "Golden Boy" and it was about this guy, 25-year old Kintaro, who travels around Japan on his bicycle as a "freeter" taking odd jobs and living to learn. It was terribly bizarre. There are only 6 episodes that have been released to NA and they all kind of are their own episode until episode 6 where it ties the first 5 together quite nicely. We watched them all in order tonight and they very much played through like a movie.

I particularly enjoyed Kintaro's obsession with toilets and the overall over-exaggerated expressions of all the characters. I also enjoyed how Kintaro always spoke his mind, even when it meant saying things that should have been in his inner monologue, or if it meant he was going to get kicked in the face for saying it.

This is an absolutely hilarious Anime and if you ever get the chance you MUST watch it!!!
