The animation is very good for a television series but they sometimes rely on still frames too much. I know they can't animate everything for a television series but a little movement in every scene helps. The cell art quality and design is very good and helps enhance the humor when Kintaro makes a mistake and his eyes bulge while sweat pours off of him, or when he sees a beautiful girl and he starts salivating like a Pavlov experiment gone horribly wrong. Oh, did I mention the gorgeous anime ladies that inhabit every episode. That is definitely a plus in my opinion. God, I love c-base!
The dub is one of the best I've ever heard, at least as far as the main star is concerned. The actor who performs the role of Kintaro is almost perfect at being the serious genius student as well as the over-the-top pervert. He has excellent timing and delivers the lines with real emotion. In the hands of someone that didn't understand the character or with no comic timing it could have really ruined the series. ADV lucked out in finding a guy that really captures the character and knows how to deliver a joke. I haven't heard the original Japanese actor so I can't compare the two, but you really aren't missing out on anything if you get the dubbed version.
