This pic conclude my series making a pic for each episode of the Golden Boy anime. This episode is unique in that it’s not adapting the manga, but rather the animation studio showcasing what their job is like by having Kintaro work at a fictionalized anime studio. The main girl for this episode is Chie, one of the animators, but another popular character is “Producer.” Like Madame President from the first episode, she doesn’t have a proper name and is just known by her job title. Her design does seem to be based on Megumi Moriyama from the manga, but they’re different characters so I can’t use that name for her. Despite not being the main girl of her episode, Producer is highlighted frequently as even gets prominent placement on DVD box covers and the like.
So I always knew from the beginning this pic would feature Chie and Producer, but as I was working on it I was reminded of another unnamed member of the anime studio’s staff, a woman only identified as “Colourist.” Now, this series hasn’t been an exhaustive inclusion of every single girl from the show, there’s a few here and there I didn’t include, but like with episodes one and two I did try to fit in characters I especially liked. I really like this Colourist lady, I think her tired/annoyed look is really charming. So I fit her in last-minute.
This concludes my main Golden Boy series, but I do hope to do more with the franchise eventually. I might go back and do stuff with some of the ladies I missed, and I’d still like to do a one-on-one with Kintaro and Madame President eventually. I expect that won’t be for a while, though, and for now I’m just happy to finally finish this little series.
