Summary:
Kintaro Oe is a 25 year-old guy who dropped out of college. His specialities are daydreaming, part-time jobs and - naturally - pretty girls. He roams the land on his trusted pink bike, happily living his life.

Each episode follows the same plan. Kintaro finds a job somewhere. Usually, his boss is a beautiful woman who doesn't care what he does, especially when he starts to act silly. From each job he takes he brings along a notebook in which he writes downs all of his "important" notes learning the way of the world in his own unique way. Weather he's a genius or an idiot, he always gets the job done.



My Thoughts:

At first I was hesitent to watch this since it wasn't something that I ever heard of. I kept on hearing good things about it so I decided to give the first episode a download and from the first few minute of watching it I was hooked. I went out a few days later and got myself the 2 dvds and I counldn't have been more pleased. The first episode hooks you in since anybody that likes computer and anime will find this hilarious. The faces that Kintaro makes are just so random and out of this world.
I actually let a few of my friends borrow the 2 dvds and they couldn't get enough of it. All they said after watching it "are there anymore episodes?" And sadly there isn't but but the current ones are enough to keep you coming back for more.
The animation changes to fit the comedy of the situation and it may not look as clean as newer titles its still fits in quite well. Every episode puts kintaro in an interesting job and makes you wish you were him.
This is one of my all time favorite anime's. Kintaro is such a great rolemodel, "study study study" ^_^
I'd reccommend this to anyone who liked GTO or any comedy with a little maturity. I Give it the hightest score possible^_^


Jam it back in, in the dark.
