Eikichi Onizuka is a 22 year old male, virgin, who dreams about become a teacher so that he can become friendly with young high school girls. But there's one catch he totally forgot about. Teacher exam. Since he barely made it through college and then finally graduated after 7 years has he of course not taken this teacher exam which is, to his first great but then bad surprise held the very same day he's busy doing nothing. Of course did he not make it in time and when he gets there it is too late. But the bad luck takes a big turn and Onizuka gets to know that one of the private schools are hiring sub teachers, a profession he does not need the exam for. [Good luck ends] On the way to the school on the crowded bus, Onizuka spots an older man squeezing a younger, quiet pretty, woman’s butt and Onizuka interferes and totally embarrass the old man. The woman on the other hand is friendlier, telling him she's also there to apply for the teacher position. The talk loudly and happily about how great it would be if they both got the job and both crosses their thumbs as it's Onizuka's turn. His great mood and high hopes suddenly breaks and dies as he steps into the room and sees that the principal of the school is no other than the old disgusting pervy man from the bus...

Eikichi Onizuka: He is so cool. My God. He's a total kick ass! He is pretty unpredictable, which is great for a change. Always dealing great with his students in an unexpected way, a big laugh! He's great. I wish he was my homeroom teacher. He is really stupid. Favourite word is great but he means well and all he wants is to make it a great day and a great school together with his class.

Fuyutsuki Azusa: Got hired the same day as Onizuka. She's really pretty but a little shy and you know. The other teachers always take advantage of these, making her run small errands, photocopy and things like that. Onizuka is always encouraging her and she thinks he is hopeless and keeps saying she wonders how someone like him could become a teacher. They're so cute ^^

Vice Principal Uchiyamada Hiroshi: I think he rules the series though Onizuka is the coolest. He is one of these nervous types just like the manager for Bad Luck in Gravitation who faints like 12 times each episode, though Uchiyamada does not faint that much >.> He wants Onizuka out but of course in the end they get along.

Sakurai Ryoko: The school head. She was the only one that wanted to hire Onizuka, claiming that it would be good to have someone like him around the school. She is cute! Trying to cover for his mistakes while she poses as the cafeteria lady so she can watch and get closer to the students and keep another eye on the school and the atmosphere. I like her. She's a tough lady!

This really isn't a music anime series, but the opening song (Driver's high) is really great and what you hear from the music side.. is... good enough.

I've seen better. Onizuka is so ugly. Though the ugly animation is kind of what makes it.... ugly but in a good way. It was annoying at first but you get used to it.

I did a pretty bad thing when it comes to GTO. I first read the first lesson manga. Then I watch the first two anime episodes and then! I started watching the Live Action before finishing the anime. And the Live Action is so much better. Or that's my opinion, but that spoiled the anime a bit, though I still think it's a great anime! But Onizuka is so ugly and blonde and it disturbs me because the actor in the Live Action (Sorimachi Takashi) is like the cutes, most handsome guy I've ever seen in the whole wide world. And he's got like.. black hair.

Onizuka rocks. Watch the anime and read the manga.

This is one of the best anime, anyone can find. It his humor, action and so much more. It might not appeal to females much due to Onizuka's personallity, but if one can overlook that this can be an awesome anime anyone can enjoy

MimsAN: I understand that people are entitled to their own opinion, but from reading your review, it is really clear that you probably watched about 5 mins of GTO anime version and wrote a synopsis that make absolutely no sense at all. Next time you write a review please watch more eps and read over your own material before posting it. Now here's my review of GTO.

My Review of GTO

Synopsis: 22 year old Eikichi Onizuka is a former gang member who wants to become the greatest teacher in all of japan and of course hook up with some cute high school girls along the way. With lady luck on Onizuka's shoulder he lands a teaching job at Holy Forest Academy. What awaits Onizuka at Holy Forest is the snobby Vice principal Unchiyamada and the out of control teacher killers class 2-4. Get ready as Onizuka will bring the ass whoppin, crazyness and inspiration into the lives of all at Holy Forest. Teaching as never been this fun.

Animation: It isn't the most amazing style of animation out there today. Its pretty basic animation but suitable for this series in my opinon.

Characters: Onizuka is a great character. I wish a lot more teachers were like him in the sense that he can relate to what the students are going though and he though out the series breaks the border line between teacher and student. Of course you will also get to know the other characters well and learn about each of their personal traits and how they are eventually inspirated to become a better person though the crazy actions of Onizuka.

Music: Don't expect a lot of high quality music here. Although I do like the intro written by le arch d'ciel.

Overall Rating:
Story: 10/10
Animation: 7/10
Characters: 9.5/10
Music: 6/10
