| Aho! That was brilliant. I wish there was more! Man, if only the last episode was 40 minutes long like the first one, it would have been so much better and feels more complete. 9/10 for sure. Can't find anything as good as GTO nowadays! The English dub is great as well, and listening to the difference between Jap and Eng important lines is quite interesting. |
| Pretty good anime but didn't finish as strong as it started imo. The comedy was much better in the first half and felt like Onizuka was more awesome. Towards the end they started making him look too goofy/somewhat stupid especially in the Okinawa arc. Also wasn't a fan of the filler episodes since they were usually pretty boring or badly timed like the one after Onizuka got the Mercedes back, instead of continuing the story they went straight to a filler episode. Overall though it was quite an enjoyable ride and I wish that someday they continue the anime (or do a remake like HxH) since it finished before the manga so there's definitely more Onizuka to be had. 8/10. |

| Love it! I give it 10/10. I want Onizuka in my school, well when I went High School :D Heehee |
| GTO is from now on, one of my favourite anime! I can't really give you a reason for this, but GTO is and will stay at the top of my list! There is just one thing that bothered me, that ending!!! Just like nearly everyone else here I just said to myself: "What's with that fu**ed up ending!" Why didn't the makers of GTO just made it a little bit more realistic, I mean Onizuka running away from the cops was kind of expected, but to get out of Japan and go to the US, this is not Onizuka anymore. I honestly imagined him staying in jail for a while or at least running away but hiding somewhere in Japan until Saito cleares everything up. And then Onizuka appears again in front of the school, Class 3-4 looks out of the window and the student all run towards him ^^ ... and with a badass comment from Onizuka the series ends *.* Despite the diappointing end I gave it a 10 because I absolutely enjoyed it. Every anime I enjoy gets a 10, maybe I should change my policy or most of the anime will get a 10 :P |
| Looks like I'm in the minority that actually quite liked the ending. Miyabi's apology to Onizuka showed how she had matured as a character, and seeing the Vice Principal finally sticking up for the students after so long was great to see. Onizuka running from the police was also hilarious and consistent with his character. I interpret the ending as Onizuka starting at a different school with a different class as like a new challenge. He had already restored everyone's belief in teachers with class 4-3 at Holy Forest, so there was nothing really left to do. Not bad at all for a filler ending. 9/10, but could've been a 10/10 if it didn't dip as much in the second half. |
 |
| As much as I liked it, it was obviously rushed. There wasn't much closure, I wanted to know what happened to the students. Why did Onizuka flee Japan if he could have been proven innocent when the teacher awoke? How about Aizawa? 6/10 for me this episode just didn't do me justice. |
 |
| Ending drops it from a 10 to a 9 for me. |
 |
| I didn't like the ending at all. Why the hell he moved to USA? And he remained a single after all lol 8/10 for series, I had some great laugh 3/5 for episode |

Rethice said: I gave it a 6/10 (Which believe it or not, means above average, my 10/10 spamming friends) As a comedy, it failed, but that's because good anime comedies are rare. 10/10, would brain dead again. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Good anime, but couldn't give it a 9. It had 43 episodes, so there is no excuse for it to feel so unfinished. It's too bad, this was a really great story, just like so many anime felt unfinished. Still a fun ride 8/10. Could have been perfect though. |
| Ending was pretty disappointing but it's one of the funniest anime I've seen and I'll definitely be reading the manga. The vice principal and Kanzaki were my favorites. 8/10 |
| Im in the coolest drivers high right now. I want a remake. |
| a great series, the ending was kinda nice too, seeing Onizuka for the last time protecting his student. Though it was rushed a little bit yeah, still a 10/10 for me, I had so much fun in this anime. |
| Probably they could have been coming out with a better way to finish it (which is, anyway, still not that bad). The ending indeed feels a bit rushed with many things left behind. If not a whole second season, at least, some kind of spin-off would have been greatly appreciated. Overall, a great series, an authentic modern classic of Japanese animation. |
| So he became a teacher of California highschool huh? well i didn't see that coming, i expected that he'd come back to seirin highschool and start it all overagain, and get married with Fuyutsuki if possible. The ending was a bit rough for me though but it was great. Overall score 8/10, now onto the manga |
 |
| I really loved the ending. I can understand the complaints in regards to Onizuka running off from the police (even though he would have been freed anyways) and the fact that he 'runs' off to California. However I feel that this suits the tone of the show, which is all about the juxtaposition between the serious moments and the totally random ice breakers that catch you off guard. It's the unpredictability that keeps you on your toes throughout this show what what makes this character such a fun one. He's the guy who pulls through no matter the situation and I think if you watch the last episode with the idea that Onizuka returns to both the school and Fuyutsuki after the credits are done (which he will because that's the kind of guy he is) then I think the ending feels a lot better. He's not a teacher to the students anymore, he's done his job. Likewise he's not a colleague of Fuyutsuki's but he's still a friend to the student and a lover to her. He'll be back. |
| marathoned all 43 episodes in 2 days , 10/10 |
 |
| I was sad to see it end... This anime made had a laughs and Onizuka is awesome, doesnt matter what they do he comes up on top, everyone was against him and in the end everyone respected him. It was a great episode but it felt too rushed, but amazing series a 8/10 for me. |
 |
| EXCELLENT ENDING. Despite rushing the main idea in two episodes, I'm glad they could pull off such a great exit before the manga ended. I'm really glad Miyabi learnt her lesson, despite being rather flimsy (it's just 2 episodes of development) and she was too late. GTO's got to leave. 10/10, no doubt. "We are professionals in a sacred career!" Uchiyamada defined himself in the end. Heck Japanese political corruption. Mitsukai- said: Rethice said: I gave it a 6/10 (Which believe it or not, means above average, my 10/10 spamming friends) So, I'm really redeeming it by saying that its inspirational and touching moments were good enough for me to give it a 6/10. As a comedy, it failed, but that's because good anime comedies are rare. Please take your mood-ruining sarcastic remarks elsewhere. To come in and say people are "spamming 10/10" is none of your business. If they like it, they are entitled to rank it as they see fit. You yourself didn't like it, and that's just grand, but don't come in here saying that just because someone else ranked it 10 that their opinion is wrong. THIS. One does not have the right to comment and correct on what others have to think about as a masterpiece. I strongly agree with your statement. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| the last few episode i miss the dat face onizuka xD LOL overall this a good series IMO |
 |
| There's so many things I'm going to miss.. From the character interactions To onizukas crazy costumes To hearing " MY cresssssstttaaaaaaaaaaa" |
| Pretty great overall. It was entertaining from start to finish...but that ending. Geez 8/10 for me Urumi quickly became a favorite as well. She didn't take shit from anyone |
    |
| Why is there no second season?? :(( I'm going to really miss the originality and art style of this series |
| Absolutely amazing anime, lol. I'll give it 10/10. The ending was really crappy and rushed and made Onizuka look like a hypocrite (he ran away from his students to California!! lol) and that could've reduced it to a 9/10. However, person to person wise, I'd say I'm very similar to Onizuka lol and relate to him. What he does sends a very good life message to me, so that's enough to put it back to a perfect 10/10 - which for me, only three other anime have that honour: One Piece, Hunter x Hunter (2011) and Hajime no Ippo. |
Mavsynchroid said: but some of the girls in this anime deserved a good slap. Everyone in this anime besides Onizuka deserved a good slap in the face,like during the second time when they were all doubting Onizuka when he was tricked into getting caught in that kinky picture (again) and everyone instantly completely ignored everything that happened that far and turned their backs on him,just myeah.... If it weren't for Onizuka as a main character this show would have been borderline un-watchable for me. |

If it weren't for Onizuka as a main character this show would have been borderline un-watchable for me. somewhat agree. the only characters I really liked where Onizuka, Kikuchi and Yoshikawa. Uchiyamada was the only antagonist I liked because he actually brought humor in his attempts to get Onizuka fired with his Cresta and in the end he wasnt such a bad guy at all. |
| Where is my closure? I need closure! I wanted to see Aizawa break down In tears |
| Just finished it. It was a great series. 10/10 I think it covers up to chapter 106 of the manga, for those who want to continue it. |
| It wasn't what everyone made it about to be but wasn't bad either 7/10 because ending was weird. |
 |
| 1/10 simply because Fuyu x Oni didn't happen.... /sarcasm Okay, in all seriousness... I'm incredibly disappointed.... to me, it doesn't matter how good an anime is prior to the final episode. If the ending does not impress me, I feel like I've wasted my time, and that's exactly how I felt. It's a shame, but that's just a part of my picky nature. |

| Great anime even if I disliked the original ending with him in Cali it didn't feel canon to me. xD 9/10 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Well the ending kinda's lacking. 6-7/10. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| 90s anime are still the best like this one ending was rushed tho. |
 Hi |
| Just rewatched it again. Still amazing. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| Even for a filler ending it was still pretty good, all said and done this series was amazing, it far surpassed my expectations and I had such a blast watching it. |
| Why did it have to end :'( |
 |
| i think the way it ended is just fine, if you want more read the manga, lol |
| :3 |
| I didn't in any real way see how the ending was bad, yeah, a school in Cali is a little far fetched but I'd be more pissed if he went back. He's the "Great Teacher" and basically solved every student's problem like he said he would at the start, it's more fitting imo if he moved on to another problem class and continue to be the the General Badass he's been since episode 1. 10/10 for me, probably the best comedy I've watched to date, and to date I've also haven't seen a show with more character development (admittedly some were pretty weak) than this show. The only shitty part about this show is that it ended :( |
