    I just read the stupidest review in here

    A guy here compared gto with assassination classroom. I haven't watched it but I know the basic story line of it. Just the fact that he compares these two shows is stupid. He missed the main point of the show i.e. Comedy/Slice of life or something like that. This show is about enjoying the present. Ac tries being emotional and all which is a typical type of high school anime but this is a lot different than that.

    Truly, one of the hidden classics.

    Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO), is one of the greatest anime that one could see.

    The animation might be a little rough around the edges since it was made in the early 2000's, but the whole show makes up for it 100%.

    Without a doubt, the anime gives of a sense of harmony and peace on anyone who watches, and the carefree personality of Onizuka really helps anyone to relax and feel ready for the next day.

    The show has one hidden trait. It teaches people so many message through its' fine art of storytelling, that in every episode, the watcher learns something about themselves.

    I could go on for days. But if you truly want an anime that is realistic, but also optimistic in the humoristic sense of Onizuka, and which also makes you think about life and dream, then this is your anime.

    A Classic!

    GTO has got it all comedy, romance, drama, bullying, delinquents... well you may think this is just another anime but I can assure you it's totally worth it and totally lives up to being a classic.

    The story is about Onizuka Ekikichi, 22 years old and a bonafide virgin. He was one of the most feared gangsters in Tokyo before he decided to become the Greatest Teacher in the world. After a lot of hustling, he finally got to be the homeroom teacher of Class 3-4 of the prestigious Holy Forest Academy. Every character got a peculiar skill set that is used for both good and bad, the scenarios they come up with are too good. The story revolves around him and how he uses his delinquent gangsta tactics to overcome certain aspects of life in the most comedic way possible.

    The first episode really clicks with everyone, the first episode has all the elements that are later gonna be used in other episodes, if you liked the first episode then I'll ask you to stick around the show no matter what coz of the life lessons you can learn. I'll outright say the story is cliche and they use the same formula, antagonist appears to seem legit unbeatable but Onizuka shows up at the perfect time with a dramatic entry and saves the day. The series deals with a wide array of topics some are way too serious and some are damn funny. I like how they deal with certain hard topics in a spectacular way possible and gives closure and solutions for all. The ending or the final arc seemed rushed but overall a good watch.

    The animation is good for its time, the voice acting both in sub and dub is stupendous, characters were fun, the opening and ending songs were just too good, the comedic scenes were delivered perfectly. The anime works with any audience, since the ending seemed rushed I'll hop on the manga. Highly recommended!

    Wish I had one great teacher onizuka in my class.

    Onizuka, everybody's ideal teacher. GTO was a bumpy and fun ride. Beginning was good , fresh and relatable to some degree then the middle was a bit bland and it gets good towards the end . Ending was disappointing, though.
