Season 1

Transmitted: January 1996 - February 1996 Seasons: 1
Overall Rating: Last Updated: 13th January 2010

Endearingly silly anime, only six episodes in duration, about a hapless delivery boy called Kintaro (well, he's called a delivery boy, though he is meant to be in his 20's), and the adventures he has on his travels.
Each episode sees him arriving in a new town, acquiring a new job, and each episode ends with him leaving.
Gently sexist, juvenile, very immature at times, this is the kind of anime that just puts a smile on the face.
Not one to start with if you are not a fan of anime, as this certainly won't convince you about the genre, but for those who are already devotees, this is entertaining fluff.
