Golden Time is a work of anime based on a romantic comedy novel in school written by Takemiya Yuyuko, who also wrote the “ToraDora”!
ToraDora is a romantic comedy among high school students, while this Golden Time is a romantic comedy based on a university life. How the new students are invited to clubs after entering school or to drinking parties are expressed well, which reminded me of the days when I just entered university.
The main character Tada Banri is a guy who gets an accident just after his graduation from high school and loses his past memory. As he decides to go to a school in the city from his rural hometown, he meets Yanagisawa Mitsuo during the new students’ orientation and becomes his friend.
However, a car appears in front of the two guys understanding each other! A super beautiful girl in a good shape is coming out from the car and walking towards them with a bunch of roses! Who the hell is this lady…Banri-Kun thinks. The lady is getting close with a smile and flourishes the flowers.
“Congratulations!”
She says so and smashes the roses to Yanagisawa-Kun…!
I am a big fan of ToraDora and of course check this “Golden Time” too, as a must-check anime!
The attractive point of this work is still the unique heroine Kaga Kouko!!!
She is just super cute, boasting “The scenario of my planning life is just perfect”!
The setting of the heroine with dignity, selfishness and super beauty is totally a template of the heroine which happens always. However, she is sometimes Yandere*, sometimes Tsundere*, and expresses more in other ways, and her cuteness kills me always.
(*Yandere is a Japanese word, meaning “sometimes mentally ill and insane, sometimes lovely”.)
(*Tsundere is a Japanese word, meaning “sometimes cold, sometimes lovely”.)
This is the same with ToraDora, but the story goes on while the heroine shows us new faces in the wonderful Takemiya Yuyuko’s works. As mentioned above about the scene with roses in the first episode which was surprising, more and more characters are appearing while the relationship among Kouko, Banri and Mitsuo is getting complicated…!
There is nothing like a special miracle power, monsters or world in danger, but its kind story development which is very normal and may happen around me even is my favorite! Maybe it is rude to say “it may happen anywhere” though. This doesn’t have an exciting adventure trip!...but this is my favorite with a very awesome love stories! This is a bit old work, but I hope you will check this out!
You can’t miss Golden Time from now on!
