Golden Boy - Beautifully Animated Toilet Worship

Published: Feb. 12, 2018, 7:30 p.m.

Happy Valentine's Day! As is tradition, we're ringing in the occasion with a garbage anime about love. Last year's ended with multiple homicides, but this year we went with something gentler: fetish porn. Fetish porn with a really big budget. Witness Golden Boy, the anime you might've seen praised on Tumblr for what looks, in isolation, like a really nice swimming sequence. Or maybe you know it for its dub, a triumphant achievement of human willpower starring a man who didn't do much acting after the 90s and knows exactly what kind of show he's working on. Most shocking of all, it's an ecchi series that almost entirely focuses on women of legal age. Yes, Golden Boy is the kind of treasure this show was invented for. Soak it in; but like, check what you're soaking in first. CONTENT WARNING for discussion of assault, false accusation narratives, racism, sexism, and bodily fluids.
