I dont know what GDO is, GTO stands for Great Teacher Onizuka. This is one of my favorite animes and is a definite addition to the collection. Kind of wish there was more.

After one episode I came to the conclusion that Onizuka is so damn sick.

Wil, I never checked out the GTO forum or I could have answered your question in a blink.

If you are still wondering, when Onizuka thought he couldn't be a teacher anymore, he went to drive trucks right.

I really enjoyed the first episode, no wonder this gets so many good reviews. Onizuka is a very cool character, and if you watch dubs...Same voice as Spike from Cowboy Bebop, FTW!! XD....Urahara Out!!

Great first episode.
Other than the superficial fact that both have perverted yet talented main characters, they aren't very similar. Besides, Onizuka has already received a ton more characterization than Kintaro ever got.

I mostly enjoyed the episode. The outrageous situations like torturing the students and breaking down the wall made me question my suspension of disbelief, but in the end I like how the situations were resolved, even if they did come off as a bit cheesy sitcom-ish.

The amount ecchi scenes was fine for a first episode, but I hope we don't fall into a pattern of constant fanservice. I imagine you could do a lot with a cast of delinquents as long as they're properly characterized.

The series could have been good even from this point. Of course being an older anime fan it almost reminded me of "Welcome Back Kotter".

The ending was interesting. Onizuki got the ecchi shot he always wanted from Mizumi. Makes me wonder if they ever kept thier promice??
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

This was a great opening to the series. Despite the fact that the show is ten years old, it still has that "relevant" feel to it. I enjoyed the gritty dramatic feeling with the show. The way the main character dealt with the students lives was a bit unorthodox, but I think that's what I enjoyed about the show.

I feel that GTO has a very high chance of becoming a personal favourite.

If this episode had been a 50 min movie/ova ==­> direct 10/10

It beats all the other 50 min movie/ova I ever watched in my entire life.

Finally I get my hands on this show!

Pretty liked the first episode, though a bit lengthy IMO. Suffice it to say, this is no shounen-action series.

See, Onizuka's not rushing into things, like that other guy who was caught. And you can see that his gang is rather famous.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.

I too was put off by the outdated art, but by the end of the first episode, I changed my mind completely.

Great characters and story so far.

Mr. Onizuka is fucking awesome.

This was an hour long? What is wrong with that blondie? Does he not know better than to vandalize for his student? Why would he go out his way just to help her?

Awesome!

I've read the manga of this and only ever found a dub of it before so never bothered watching it, but now Ive found a sub and it lives up to my expectations!

Unexpectedly long first episode, are they all going to be that long?

Really great first episode! I liked the drama, so I imagine I'll like the anime too. :) It may be a bit "outdated", but the art isn't horrible and it seems interesting, more than anything.

My favorite part was when he took the hammer to the wall. It was absolutely absurd and part of what makes this show fun. It is worth checking out a few more episodes.
