Oh jadi gini pesona anime 90an. Smooth banget di scene awal. Mata ikut melotot juga ngeliat Madam President. Haha. Ekspresi Kintaro juga kocak banget lah

It strikes a mix between extravagant study cliches and surprisingly smooth animation maximum sentimentality.

the premiere was pure 90s gold. the way kintaro just casually impressed everyone while pretending to be clueless? the animation on his bike scenes was smooth. the office ladies slowly losing their minds over him? peak comedy. the final shot of him riding off? iconic. 🚲

No where near as good as I was expecting. I only laughed a couple of times, and for the rest of it I couldn't decide if it was terribly made...or something else. The pacing was alright in this episode too

Kintaro's pretty sharp, I love how he's always learning from his experiences. He's got a great catchphrase too. Definitely check it out, it's a unique watch

Kintaro looks like a joke, but he’s secretly sharp . I love his catchphrase "Educational" very much . Comedy hides how observant and hardworking he really is . A solid 9.5/10 .

Nearly instant character development and establishment in a gorgeously soft 90s-anime style. Definitely not for the whole family, but fans of the genre should appreciate the most instantly-likeable ecchi protagonist out there. Extremely funny and full of heart.

Golden Boy centers on Kintaro Oe, a mid-20s college dropout who takes odd jobs to “study life.” He comes off as outrageous and perverted, but he’s secretly highly intelligent. Episode 1 blends crude ’90s humor with themes of growth and hidden potential—wild, ridiculous, and smart

Kintaro is an absolute legend. Traveling the country on his Mikazuki 5, he’s always eager to learn from the world around him. If you ever need a spirit animal, he’s your guy. Also I highly recommend watching the episodes in English dub.

If you want to learn about life, you should watch Kintaro. He will teach you everything you need and you don't need :D

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the first of only six standalone OVA episodes, 'Computer Studies' is purely foundational — it establishes Kintaro's format of drifting into a new profession, clashing with a strong female lead, and proving himself through sheer tenacity and hidden brilliance. Each subsequent episode follows this self-contained structure with a different setting and cast, so this premiere is your litmus test for the entire series. If the comedic rhythm and Kintaro's chaotic charm land here, the remaining five episodes deliver more of that formula with escalating absurdity.
