Anime Relations: Great Teacher Onizuka
I'm writing this post as a personal tribute to one of the most funny, emotional and life lessons teaching anime I have ever watched, GTO - Great Teacher Onizuka.


I can't express enough the number of hilarious, entertaining, and sometimes even emotional and heartwarming moments that GTO was able to offer me.

A continuous twist of emotions that alternates between hilarious and heart touching scenes that keeps you sticked to the screen for the entire time.

I've been also lucky since the Italian dubbing is particularly beautiful, thanks to the excellent work of Onizuka's voice actor, Massimo d'Ambrosio.

Onizuka is a very young but truly special teacher and life master. In his heart, he has the dream of becoming a great professor in order to pick up as many young girls as possible, and initially he makes everyone at school despise him. But in reality and over time he proves to be a person of great experience, capable of always helping his students to get out of difficult and uncomfortable situations, to the point of slowly gaining the respect and sympathy of each of them.

One of the scenes that I will always carry in my heart is the crazy jump into the void in front of a gorgeous sunset with the motorbike together with his student girl Urumi Kanzaki in order to show her that you cannot be invincible and that everyone will experience fear sooner or later.

Not to forget the hilarious scene in which Onizuka imitates Kenshiro with the seven stars carefully depicted on his chest with a black pen, or the one in which he dresses like Doraemon! =)

In addition, I will never, ever forget the amazing atmosphere of the Japanese neighborhoods of Tokyo, the very romantic Inokashira park which I was also lucky enough to visit in person during my trip to Japan in the Musashino district, and the views of the school complex, with that persistent air of freedom and innocence typical of adolescence, constantly undermined however by serious problems of bullying and difficult family relationships, which Onizuka will somehow try to resolve for all his young students in difficulty.



In conclusion, an anime which is worth to watch and rewatch many times....Thank you so much "profeZZore" (italian watchers will understand)...I'll always bring you inside my heart!
