As a comedy, it failed, but that's because good anime comedies are rare.


10/10, would brain dead again.

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

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.

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.

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.

I had a good time watching this anime. The silly and over the top outrageous moments helped tide me over while i was grinding levels on a game. However at the end of the day this anime had too many cons for me to rate it higher than a 7/10.

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.

Great anime overall except for of course for a few things.

First is obviously the rushed ending. Especially any sort of relationship between him and Fuji..something or other. Forget her name, but the other teacher.

Second is.. and I hope this doesn't rile up feminists, but some of the girls in this anime deserved a good slap. Of course Miyabi did and actually got one, but I honestly think Kanzaki did before AND after she befriended GTO. I mean.. She had a poisonous snake bite his **** because he put her in a room full of super nerds. I know it's supposed to be silly, but compared to the actual pranks when they didn't like GTO, this is like 100X worse, yet we were supposed to take THOSE pranks seriously and not a poisonous snake bite. Can't really say whatever mental problems that girl has is fixed. She just happens to like her teacher.. Also, the girl who ends up liking Yoshikawa (forget her name) deserves a good slap BY Yoshikawa, and a disgusted rejection to any confession she may have, (are we forgetting he tried to killed himself twice because of her?), Yoshikawa himself needed the crap beat out of him for being everyone's b****. If you think about it, that problem was never fixed either.

Sorry, went off on a little rant there. It was just one of those animes were I couldn't help but say out loud, so many times, "What the HELL are you doing!?!?"

Anyway, I'd give the anime 7/10. I wonder how many of those problems would have been fixed had the show not most likely been cancelled/how it actually goes in the manga if it kept going past that point, but I don't care enough to find out.

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.

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.

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.

I never read the manga but the ending was perfect the story teaches you in such a deep level about kids and how they feel when they grow up how they aren't adults yet, but it let's you also see that adults don't know that what they do or how they learned it can be wrong. Onizuka is the perfect example of a grown man that has all the wisdom in the world needed but who will always remain a child that's why he can connect to these children and everyone around him because he is kind, loyal, funny and does things his way a true example.

He left but hey the chairman said he will be back and she has proven to be a wise and spot on person. Onizuka will be back ofcourse look at the intro and outro of this anime he loves her he will come back. He just feels he is needed somewhere else but he won't be gone for long. Sure the children will miss him but they are fixed now, they are a happy class they can't always rely on Onizuka they had a wonderful time and sometimes it's best to end things at their peek.

So Onizuka will save some more souls and eventually he will come back and maybe teach on the same school you can even see it in the second outro or first can't remember but in the end Onizuka stands up from his desk and walks out of his classroom. When I look at those last seconds I feel like Onizuka looks older like he is 50-60 he leaves the room teaching for many years, teaching the beauty of being young and alive and then he walks out while he just thought of all those great moments. That is how GTO ends:
In your own mind, as Onizuka someone who will always be helping the people who need it and who will come back when he is ready to settle and to meet all his friends again.

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 :(

Great anime overall, but the ending was definitely rushed. But aside from the ending and slightly dated animation, I was hugely satisfied.

The characters were amazingly done, and Onizuka is quite honestly the most badass goofball I've seen. Most episodes had me left in plasters just from laughing too hard, plus every episode had a good balance of humor as well as moral stuff.

9/10. Time to move to the manga.

I loved this anime.
I started as a filler, expected some more or less funny comedy with little substance.
What I got was so much more!
Many great characters, and the best of them Onizuka himself.

The only drawback I can see is that the last ~10 episodes focused too much on less interesting arcs (a couple of fillers + Anko), instead of giving us more time for Urumi, Kikuchi, Fuyutsuki, ..
It just feels like there is more to tell, but I guess that's why the manga is much longer than the anime. I suppose I will read it eventually.

9/10 from me.
