Great Teacher Onizuka


Mitch's TV Rating: (M)

Mitch's Recommendation: 9/10 (BUY!!!)

This anime I actually own, it was the first anime I bought, and while it was rather pricey I enjoyed watching it so much I just didnt care.

GTO is about a 22 year old virgin, Ex Biker Gang Leader, Eikichi Onizuka, who realises that teachers are around young girls all the time they are at work, and he wants in, now I know alot of people at this point may think this anime is distasteful, and yes at the start it is, however as it pans out Onizuka gets put in charge of middle school kids rather then high schoolers, which ruins his whole plan.

The class he gets put in charge of is the worst class in the entire history of japan...I could probably make an addition and say the world here, and by worst I dont mean bad grades, I mean "hazard to your sanity", As it seems the kids were betrayed by a previous teacher and are out for blood, they try to send all their teachers insane, and have a pretty good record of doing so.

The story follows Onizuka's journey to win over all his students, and teach them valuable life lessons while he is at it, even if he uses rather unconventional methods to achieve his desired effect. its a blast of a comedy, and I highly recommend it, even if it is just to count how many times Onizuka survives throwing himself off buildings to rescue people.
