.com Kintaro Oe, a 25-year-old dropout from Tokyo University Law School, bicycles around Japan "learning about life" like an Asian Along Came Bronson. He takes various part-time jobs, surprising everyone by excelling at everything he does, despite his goofy demeanor. He's lucky he's a quick study, as he spends most of his time ogling pretty women, cleaning toilets, and getting beat up. In the first three episodes of this six-part 1995 OAV, he writes code at a software company, helps a corrupt mayor get reelected, and learns to make noodles by hand. The animation is often sloppy--Kintaro changes appearance frequently--and the artists clearly concentrated on the bouncing breasts and jiggling derrieres. Kintaro is a goodhearted and generally agreeable goof, but the slight plots and leering humor of this series will quickly bore anyone but a lecherous adolescent. Rated 17 Up: Nudity, violence, profanity, sexual and toilet humor. --Charles Solomon

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (It's Funny!)
FIRST OFF THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS! AS YOU CAN SEE AS IT'S RATING IS 17+ BUT, IF YOUR NOT A KID THIS IS HILARIOUS!The story is about a boy (Kintaro Oe) well, a 25 year old one but hey he seems that way in the show. well anyway this is about a boy who is a freeter, a freeter is a person who travels around doing part-time jobs (odd-jobs). and while he is freetering he comes across jobs, and every job he gets involves girls. If you cath my drift you now realize why it's rated 17+ (FAN SERVICE).The first episode is about when he gets a job at a computer programing company and guess what? everyone who works there is a women and the boss is the particular women that this story is partially about, well I don't want to ruin the ending, although they all end the same! I will leave you there and move on to the second episode.The second episode is about when he gets a job on campaigning for a governer and guess what girl is involved in this episode? NO not his wife you perv. His daughter! his daughter is a malicious and controlling girl, you get the rest.The third episode is about when he gets a job at a noodle shop and the girl involved in this one is the noodle shop's owners daughter, she is a very nice, good hearted girl. Now your thinking what could be wrong with this? well she might about to mary a rich man who is only marying her for some deal with someone for alot of mony and then divorce her, and Kintaro has to stop this! Oh yeah did i mention she's a virgin and this is her first love?Well that about wraps things up, I hope that if you purchase this DVD you enjoy it, trust me it's worth the $26.98!

Amazing!
One of the greatest shows ever created. Excellent for fans of anime and perfect for people who don't care for anime.

Adventures On the Road
Golden Boy: Treasure Hunt: Volume 1 is an ok series. This is heavy ecchi with lots and lots of fanservice. The plot is disappointingly predictable so far. Kintaro is a 25 year-old law college dropout, who bicycles around Japan looking for adventure, writing observations and life lessons in his ubiquitous notebook. It sounds like a good premise, however once we know the twist revealed in the first episode, each subsequent episode has the same twist and is no longer exciting.Iwata Mitsuo breathes life into this boring series. Mitsuo voices Kintaro, with so much energy and a rapid delivery of lines, that he is like a Japanese Martin Short. The opening is the slowest and most boring I have ever seen in any anime. Reading manga is faster.Treasure Hunt contains episodes one through three: "Computer Lesson," "Temptation of the Maiden," and "Danger! The Virgin's First Love."

Perverted humour at it's best...
I had the chance to watch the complete anime series on Youtube and I have to say I had mixed emotions about it. At first I thought this show was going to be one of those lame crappy love stories but I really thought wrong, also I thought of how Kintaro was an idiot or how much of a goofball he is. Either way, this whole anime series kept me on the edge of my seat and also forced me to yell at the computer screen and laugh out loud. In this series, the have the major laughs,the usual perverted humour,and hot chicks. Now if you are not into stuff that is perverted...this anime is not for you because in this series they have nip-slips,panty shots,and more. To me, this series is worth the money and I am going to buy it right away.

Best [money] ever spent!!
What a great set!! Volume 2 definitely wrapped up all the unfinished endings. You must get both volumes to fully enjoy this series.Once you see the first episode, you will totally be hooked. The series kinda makes me think of the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Kintaro definitely gets the best of everyone. He has inspired me to learn more and more.I'll keep this short. I just started with Anime, and I loved this set. I laughed my [butt] off from beginning to end...and so will you.

porn or not
The cover of this DVD is, well, eye-catching. It is a very good story containing a 25 year old dude that has a very good eye for women. He gets cought in a lot of stuff but always comes out ok. This is not a porno, or really that bad at all. it does show some nudity and the bouncieness (if you know what I mean, haha). The anime is a very good watch and a suggest you get it.

Even if it looks boring at first don't stop watching
Golden boy's animation slightly turns you off it at first, it's not horrible and it's not fantastic either and it makes the first episode look uninteresting at first. All I can say is don't stop watching. The story is ridiculous and hilarious and it gives you the definition of irony. A young 25 year old boy whose main goal is to learn all he can about life by taking a number of temp jobs and taking notes on people's behavior. He goes through six of these adventures in all, and all of them invariably contain a girl that is always attractive and always captures Kintaro's attention and usually causes him lots of trouble. What's funny is that none of the girls really like him until they find out he is really more than what he first appears to be. He always has his bike and a girl chasing him as he leaves for the next adventure.
