| ok like very impressed by the fist episode..it can go anywhere from here |
 |
| Art style is a bit of a turn off. Comedy is memorable I guess, 40 minutes for an opening episode... OOF |
very funny and very old school anime man love it badass anime  |
 |
| I don't remember GTO to be ecchi lol but I'm not complaining. I watched this way back when, when it aired here and I was still little. Don't remember much about it aside from it's fun so I thought why not re-watch it? |
 |
| so gto is on netflix atm, time for some awesome rewatch. :) |
 |
| Looks promising. I'm looking forward for whatever comes next. |
| This anime looks extremely promising! :D I will definitely continue watching it. A fine mix of humor, slice of life and interesting concept of ex-gang member becoming a teacher. |
| I don't know if I gonna hate or like this show. But kinda like it and it got me interested at the end. I'm annoyed with rich problem of Nana and she nearly end Onizuka's career! (If I'm Onizuka, I will slap her!) That's why there's bitch / slut, it's because of stupid pervert guys!! Onizuka's way is not ordinary but it moves people though. That's nice! |
 |
| 10/10 , the first episode felt like a comedic masterpiece, I’m really thankful for all those reccomendations to watch this |
| HOLY ****! I am rewatching but I don't remember the first episode being this awesome! F***! |

| This was fantastic, I don't know why I haven't seen this till now. Absolutely glorious. Hit all the right notes with me. |
 |
| That ep was already a movie in itself and that ED is catchy. |
 |
| Ok, that was fun. Though I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it or not. There were quite a few laughs but there are some uncomfortable scenes lol but it was done in humorous way. The OP is really cool and the ED is catchy. Mizaki is such a brat and Onizuka got some words of wisdom. If there will be more I don't mind giving this a high score |
| That was a GREAT introduction to the show, I can see why Onizuka is a lot of people's favorite. Aside from the creepy pedophilic jokes, Onizuka has a lot of redeeming qualities. The class cried when he was leaving at the end, I know for sure that the class will be US crying by the end of this show. |
| I finally got around to watching this. I've heard good things, and I think I could warm up to it. Wasn't sure what to think the first 30 mins, but it kept me entertained the second half. |
 |
| I love it already! haha |
 |
| Did not remember this premiere being 1 hour long, but I'll take it. Nice to rewatch this show after 4 years, and the first episode was a good introduction and start to this wild adventure of the 'greatest teacher' ever. |
| Why didn’t I watch this sooner?? Also Mr. Onizuka rocks. |
| I didn't realize it was 40 minutes.. it felt so fast. Nanako's voice is quite annoying especially when she says "sensei" haha but it's really fun to watch! Also ED song is nice. |
 |
| I loved how the scene where Onizuka was dressed as a wolf they played SOS by Pink Lady XD https://youtu.be/N6vXbiu0nVw |
| best 1st episode ever!!! best teacher ever lmaoo |
| water |
| if this show was aired in 2021......(you know the rest) |
| water |
| I actually looked back at my MAL and I don't think I've seen anything with this good of a first episode. Also not gonna lie. if that guy was my professor I'd show up to class every day 15 minutes early without fail. |
| Well it was better than I expected after watching the prequel, still kinda meh. I thought he would keep that class, but it seems like he'll switch classes all the time? Sounds a lot like Golden Boy to me, but with more annoying characters. |
| I wasn't expecting a 40+ minute first episode. There are so many stuff to talk about. Definitely covered a lot of the manga I imagine. I like the overall vibe Onizuka-sensei is producing. Though it's still not clear why he wants to be a teacher and the greatest one at that. It can't just be for 16 yo bride, right? Too bad we won't see much of Ryuji in this anime... I liked him more than Onizuka in Shonan Junai Gumi! This anime might make me love Onizuka more... Hoping this will be a fun ride.

| Amazing opening episode. This episode reminded me of these days of being a teacher! The cool part was to show the human side of a teacher. Way to go forward! |
 |
| Man, that was... weird. There were definitely some moments that were hard to appreciate through a modern lens. The length definitely didn't help, either. That said, one episode isn't everything. |
 |
| I'm not exactly sure what I expected from GTO. From what I heard through the years, I somewhat expected Onizuka to teach his students using hardheaded stubbornness, violence, and lessons he learned from his years as a street punk to help them out of their ruts. I knew about Onizuka's silly faces, his goal of getting a high school wife, and the general idea of his character, but nothing else. To my surprise, he truly was as much of a dirtbag as I heard, but he's also a hell of a guy who, with absurdly unorthodox methods, does in fact care about his students, albeit with none of the right reasons necessarily. Another thing I heard was the quality of the dub. I didn't realize Steve Blum was Onizuka, and while he's an amazing actor, I don't think he necessarily fits Onizuka entirely. He definitely pulls off the suave hardass who shows up, gets what he wants, then jets. He's also great when Onizuka is giving his heart to heart talks, as well as when he's trying to be threatening. I don't necessarily buy the perverted and goofy Blum version of Onizuka, but I can definitely tell he's having a blast with the role. I suppose it's because I'm so used to his more serious roles that it's hard to adjust. From just the first episode, the other voices range from okay to kind of questionable. I think if I sat down and watched long enough, I could probably stomach the dub, but I'll stick with subs since I'd need subtitles for some of the signage anyways. As far as first impressions go, it's certainly a fun show. Hearing Onizuka referred to as "golden boy" early on seemed like a cheeky reference to the actual Golden Boy anime, and I was absolutely expecting similar perverted antics by the time Mizuki started charming Onizuka. Though, again, I was surprised by how quickly the anime switched gears. Onizuka literally breaking down the wall separating Mizuki's family seemed a bit much in terms of narrative, but I suppose this show has no respect for subtlety, and for that, I respect its decision to tackle adolescent and education-issues with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer wielded by a skirt-chasing maniac. |
| Damn he really just KO'd that wall lmao. Great first episode |
| Strange first episode. Tons of stuff happened, but it was also very slow. Some of the comedy was... uh.... something. I have high hopes for the future though. Oh also, we started watching this on Peacock, but that version had crazy screen-tearing. I started feeling sick. Definitely don't watch on there! |
