| Synopsis | College boy slacker cycles from job to job, charming and seducing women wherever he goes. |
| Review | Once I'd seen this on MTV, I remeembered having seen the first episode before (not a good sign…) The main character, Kintaro, is an irritating sex-mad youth who in the first episode is given a million yen by the female president of a software company whose sports coupe causes him to fall off his bike. She is rather under-dressed and has bouncing pneumatic tits (yes, it's that sort of anime.) He gets a temporary job which just happens to be at the same woman's company. After being found behaving strangely in the toilets, he pleads to be given a proper software job but is unmasked as knowing nothing except beginners' Basic. He unplugs the server to save on electricity, wiping the important program the women have been working on (this shouldn't happen unless one is really unlucky and careless about backups.) Within a few days our hero recreates an improved version of the program, whereupon the president falls in love with him. Ha. Wish-fulfilment comedy for young males. |
