golden boy is overrated

>>720045079

You would know that still's from Golden Boy

if you were someone capable of knowing his own SSN.

You're a stick figure drawer.>>720047056

Is Golden Boy worth watching? I had a boomer friend who was obsessed with this show to the point he’d commission stickers from this show and stick them to his shit box

>>720047131
it was a moderately funny obscure OVA series from the early 90s that only extreme anime otaku were aware of until about 5 years ago when some influencer hyped it up as the greatest anime of all time, so now zoomers all pretend they've always loved it and massively overstate its relevancy.

Nigga, it was on TV.

Golden boy should had got a H-OAV uncensored remake

>>720047884
no it wasn't. it was released directly onto VHS. it's way too sexual to air on TV, it has open nudity and softcore sex. Have you even seen it? there's a reason why it has 6 episodes and the individual episodes are over 30 minutes long.

>>720047716
Not obscure, but not surface level either.

>>720047131
It's a good comedy. The guy they got to dub Kintaro was great.

>>720048145
>Have you even seen it?
Yes, they aired it on TV multiple times. Sucks to be an amerishart.

>>720047884
that has no bearing on whether or not it's an ova. plenty of ovas later got a tv broadcast

>>720048374
If it's on TV, it stops being obscure.

It was a wild time when MTV and VIVA were competing with anime blocks. MTV had Golden Boy and Vision of Escaflowne, while VIVA had X and Hellsing.

>>720048145
perhaps not in your country anon we had it running with many other similiar animes like all the agent aika,najika stuff and more but that was like back then till about 2008 after that tv became irelevant here as eerythign moved to digital and online stuff

it factually was obscure as shit in the west prior to around 2019. You can track the yearly trends, it hovered around 20-30k ratings for years and then suddenly skyrocketed into the hundreds of thousands a few years ago.

didn't air on terrestrial TV in Japan, its country of origin. it's an OVA.

mtv , viva and on the weekend either very early or at 11pm we had it also run on other channels Kabel 1 / Tele5 and VOX comes to my mind
>>720048602
it aired in central europe at that time and i do not care with what and how you goalpost move this, be gone golem

>>720049087
The mangaka went off the deep end sometime after the OVA originally aired.

>>720049119
awesome edit anon

>>720047716
Zoomer here, I saw an ad for it in one of the anime VHS tapes I got from one of my brothers back in 2011 and then decided to look up and watch the show online.
Its very funny and I've made sure to show it to all my friends, dubbed Golden Boy is kino

>>720049087
>All the episodes except one (the last one) are part of the manga
>The rest of the manga is Kintaro crossdressing as some bitch
It was retarded and no one liked it. The OVA is brilliant, though.

>>720049170
VOX had the DCTP Night Club every tuesday in the late 90s that would air anime the whole night. Stuff like MD Geist, Blue Submarine No.6, and the original NGE. It was fucking crazy encountering those as a teenager.

>>720042326

>>720048925
my link is archived from 2012, anime was already mainstream by then.

>>720049170
there is no goalpost to shift, we were talking about its status in Japan. it's an OVA, factually. whether it aired in some irrelevant backwater where maybe five people live does not change that fact.

>>720047131
Not really.

>>720048602
>2012
we know, anime is an 'international phenomenon' now.
you realize your own link shows Golden boy at like #223 in the popularity and ranked #298.
For comparison, this is Ranma 1/2
https://web.archive.org/web/20120628184017/http://myanimelist.net/anime/210/Ranma_%C2%BD

I'd pick a night hanging out with Kintaro over any of the vapid sluts who fall for him. Kintaro is endlessly curious, sincere, and unpretentious. His boundless energy and childlike wonder for life are magnetic. Kintaro’s whole journey is about learning, he values knowledge and self-improvement and despite how ridiculous he can seem, he’s selfless and caring. The women Kintaro meets might look impressive, but let’s be real: they are vapid hoes. They strut around like their beauty or status makes them special, but the moment you look past the surface, there’s nothing there but ego and attitude. They sneer at Kintaro, treat him like trash, and think they are above it all, yet every single one of them ends up exposed as shallow and dependent on the very guy they mocked. They are not deep, they are not interesting, and without Kintaro bringing out their better side, they are just another set of empty pretty faces who think the world owes them success. Homies over hoes.

>>720049726
It was released in the US by ADV, if you bought literally anything from them, you at least saw the ad for it.
Sure, it may have fallen into obscurity by 2012, and gotten a revival via influencer. But it was not obscure to anime people in 90-fucking-6 you zoomer moron.

>>720050035
the popularity rankings on MAL are calculated based on how many favourites a show gets, not how many people who have it on their list. Ranma (which only Mexicans liked, for the record) has double the actual 'followers'.
https://web.archive.org/web/20130511060802/https://myanimelist.net/anime/1887/Lucky%E2%98%86Star
Lucky Star for example has like 7x the viewership, and it also was only popular with weebs.

>>720050620
and how many people do you think was buying ADV films? Viz had Corrector Yui, but nobody in their right mind would call that anything other than obscure.

>>720049356
>dubbed anime is kino

>>720050815
Kintaro's va showed up, dropped the best dubbed anime performance in the history of dubbed anime, then vanished. The dub is kino

>>720048602
>it factually was obscure as shit in the west prior to around 2019. You can track the yearly trends
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you dumb, fucking retard. i swear to jesus. it even has a german dub, look it up. it used to be on TV, people were very obviously aware, as was i as a wee lad. its not obscure. akira was never obscure, gits was never obscure, nge was never obscure. it was all very popular

>>720047716
I remember seeing clips of this shit all the time even back in 07. Retard this shit wasn’t niche even 15 years ago

>>720050668
>Ranma is niche show now
ok

Lucky Star was one of the most popular shows back then and was 10 years more recent. You are trying to say Pepsi is not popular because Coca Cola exists.
Just because some streamerwhore or Corona or tiktok or whatever boosted interest, doesn't change the fact Golden Boy has been well known since release.

>>720047716
I watched it like 20 years ago on TV.
Way to out yourself as a zoomer yourself, you dumb faggot.

>>720049423
More than a few comfy summer vacation nights spent watching that stuff. Good times.

This.

>>720048602
>using MAL
Way to out yourself

Always steer cleared of this show due to two reasons:
>golden boys IRL always pisses me off
>a show entirely about a dude who is just naturally gifted at every single thing he picks up is the most patronizing bullshit I've ever heard
>Sounds an awful lot like a harem without the harem (read: he doesn't end up with any of the woman, and it's all serialized nonsense)
