This is basically inspired Golden Boy! And that is a good thing! Men will enjoy this no matter what, only women seem to be the critics here that have issues with it. The animation is fluid which is pretty rare to see nowadays, art direction is good, much like golden boy (including low income and owns a bike and very intelligent!), great sound effects and music, good gags, could of easily of been a series, mad respect for madhouse. Don't let the slander get to you either.
So, in conclusion, if your a biological male from birth, watch it! The current rating does not reflect it what-so-ever.

10/10 Don't be so serious XD
This anime while I can see why people may get offended especially in todays day and age was simply jokes. I found it amusing.
It was a very weird but good watching experience, with the main character being the creepiest man in the word and yet having God tier rizz. Honestly it was strange, which was what made it hilarious.
People are complaining about the images it paints on women, but come on now. We're grown adults and know what to take serious or not. I mean seriously if any sees the way women are painted in this anime and think it applies to real life they had a screw lose anyway.
Don't watch if you're a snow flake. But if you want a 40 minute time waster and get a good laugh in the process then I recommend.

I think some of this one might get lost in generational translation
I was born in '67 when Speed Racer was still in it's first run (my first memory of TV was speed...not in 67 but when I was probably 3) -- so my perspective is a bit different.
I enjoyed it (I've had it for at least 20 years). It's not some high art or anything, but a period romp.
I guess as far as my gen (I've shown it to friends), we don't really look at it as a realistic drama..it's a cartoon (yeah, that'll get some hackles up, but different gen).
The protagonist is, in a lot of ways, an anti-hero (he's not an immediate stand-in for the viewer to identify with)
the morality play that it is sort of has him as a bit of a bumbling fool with a hidden heart of gold as he learns about emotional connection -- pretty standa…

I'm honestly tempted to give this an 8, but I would have to cancel myself immediately.
I put this on my Plan To Watch because I found OZ intriguing. A sex comedy under the hand of a guy who went on to make a violent, high-concept sci-fi drama? "Sure, why not?" said I, a fool expecting it to just be silly. But it is extremely compelling, well-structured and well-paced?
Even the first scene, which is instant gratification, is a curve-ball because of how it introduced and incorporated the attack helicopter into the ongoing orgy.
The first thing we're going to have to get out of the way is that, yes, it is a sex comedy and it is not intended to mirror real life. With that in hand, I was willing to suspend my strong distaste for workplace harassment. If you are not able to or do not want to…

Originally from Anilist:
Junk Boy is a 1987 ecchi OVA produced by Victor Entertainment. Having no Wikipedia nor TV Tropes page, I think it's safe to say I'll be reviewing another obscure anime today.
As an aside, while I don't want to get into the habit of spoiling anime in my reviews, as this is a forty-five minute OVA, its almost inevitable that I'll spoil most of the anime if I describe anything. On the bright side, knowing the plot doesn't detract from much in Junk Boy's case.
In the first minute or so of Junk Boy, we are treated to no less than four pairs of bare anime breasts. The OVA wastes no time in telling viewers _exactly_ what type of anime it is - a hardcore ecchi at best and a tame hentai with a plot at worst. If you have someone that may enter your room, it's best to sit…

Young fellow, be advised that you are stepping onto a damp marsh. As you sink into its dense moor of unfathomable stupidity, you may end completely suckered in. That's when you know you should have watched something else from fall 1987 like "City Hunter," "Maison Ikkoku," "Dragon Ball," "Saint Seiya," "Esper Mami," or "Little Women," instead. Is there really anything to justify your attention given to obscure sleaze such as JUNK BOY?
To put it bluntly, if you have a taste for the most grotesque, raunchy brand of escapism, and if your skull is idiocy-proof, maybe. JUNK BOY has all the hallmarks of a deviant epic. First, the plot is as subtle as a pound of pork lard shortening added to a small measure of light semolina flour. The wishful ecchi narrative is pretty much a pathway littered wi…

Overview:
The closest thing that the anime community has to the infallibility of the Papacy is the animation studio Madhouse! It doesn't matter what the anime is about or who directed it. It doesn't matter how irrelevant the manga or previous version of the anime was. It doesn't matter if the anime only has one joke! If studio Madhouse animates it, that project WILL have at the very least decent ratings!
Has there ever been an anime SO terrible that even being animated by Studio Madhouse couldn't save it? Well...it turns out that there is such an anime, but you need to travel back 30 years into the past. This is the 1987 atrocity known as "Junk Boy".
Story and characters (or lack thereof):
Junk Boy tells the tale of an incredibly obnoxious pervert named Ryohei Yamazaki. This asshole…

I did not see any reviews for this show plus it needs some justice on it.
During the late 80's and 90's there were many OVA's that were just one to up to six episodes long. All of these OVA's were in a way one shot shows that had either the potential to be a bigger series or just because of budget issues only had money for something shorter.This by no means make them bad but in my opinion makes them unique and interesting to watch since they usually bring issues one does not see very often in shows.
Story:
Anyway, Junk Boy is one of those shows. It is a one episode show of a guy that has his mind in the gutter at all times and gets a job in an adult company. It starts out interesting and get straight to the point of the type of person the main character(mc) is. Besides that there is no o…
