tbh Golden boy is an OVA and it had one of the most visualy appealing character designers ever ,Toshihiro Kawamoto, so its not fair to compare with a seasonal tv anime with bellow average production value. I still like the character designs of 80s and 90s tv anime more than more modern trends but modern tv anime being massively more homogenous design wise is somewhat of an overstated narrative
