| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- why has no one made a topic for the final episode in the series?! I loved this show and it has just now been put up on my top 5 favorites |
| I really loved the ending. 10/10. |
 |
| I felt sad after finishing the last episode. How I wish the anime would have been longer. Oh well 9/10 overall. |
| Hahaha "I am Great Teacher Onizuka!"next up.... California!! Great anime, I will definitely miss those days where I watch one episode of GTO before hitting the books. |
| The episode was great and the series was great. Definitely one of my favorite animes. 10/10. |
| I liked it and everything but i give it a 7/10 ._. |
 |
| Great series, a bit of an odd way to end it for me for some reason even though I knew what was coming (a friend spoiled the ending for me ><) but we never got to go further into Urumu's past or get in to more depth with a few of the characters =/ even though that's so I'm giving it a 10/10 awesome series nevertheless ^^ |
| Most rushed ending ever. Still though, an 8/10 for me. |
     |
| Id give it a 8/10 also. Sort of different ending then I thought it was going to be. Sort of wanted to know what going to happen with them. |
| i've got to read the manga......now~! lol |
| How does this anime have a lower score than Code Geass... X( |
| I gave it a 6/10 (Which believe it or not, means above average, my 10/10 spamming friends) I got irritated at the logic some characters followed throughout the entire series, and couldn't help but agree that Onizuka didn't deserve to be a teacher. Sure, he inspired a lot of students which is all well and good in that world, but I'd like to see his methods work even once in a real-life situation. Of course, I'm taking it too seriously for the comedy anime it was intended as, but that's because to me, the comedy was actually the most frustrating part of it. 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. |

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. |
hanabiii said: I liked it and everything but i give it a 7/10 ._. Me too. It was hard to get through on more than a few occasions. I especially couldn't stand onizuka's over-the-top outragesness. I was often dissapointed in what was touted as a classic. But, Overall I enjoyed it to my 7 out of 10 level. |
 |
| rushed ending but a good enjoyable laughable series of "the great teacher onizuka". i couldn't understand why onizuka went to a different school to teach when he finally had all the support of the school and his students at his old school. That incident when he falsely claimed he stabbed saito should've been taken care of so he shouldn't have kept running away after 2months. Thats what bugs me. 8/10 for me. |
| good series but i don't know if i'm satisfied with that ending. i guess i feel it ended too suddenly. probably an 7- 8/10 |
 |
| It was EPIC 10/10 |
| 9/10 I want more XD |
| loved this anime for me it is one of the best. although the ending sucked for me. Wish it would be longer luckily there is an ova, don't know about the live action but i'll check it out |
 |

| I'm so sad its over. I enjoyed this so much its totally getting a 10 out of 10. |
 |
| damnit now I'm seriously sad because I finished the series. I've heard that there's a possibility for a second season, god damnit I am willing to wait few years for that. Teacher, BANZAI 10/10 |

 |
| Oh I think this anime is truly a masterpiece.Somebody said that it failed as a comedy,OMG I have no words. |
 |
| Ending really bugged me. I did not see the reason for him to run away like that, everything would've been taken care of in due time, he left all his students after finally there trust. Ending was definitely to rushed a few more episodes would've been good. Other then the ending i thought this anime was a masterpiece, everything about it, so i will give it a 10 despite the ending. |
| decent show with a great ending. the ending song for ep 43 fit perfectly with the ending for the show. I also liked how he ended up in california. 8/10 for me |
 |
| 8/10 I liked the anime, but really hated the ending. I hated how he just ran away. Wasn't most of the show about gaining the trust of his students and not abandoning them? I forget exactly what a character said in the show, but I think they talked about how the classmates enjoyed school and will continue as long as he is around or something like that. The guy that stabbed himself woke up and could have told the truth also. |

 |
| Oh,yeah,it is really adourable anime! Especially last serises was the best ones! Onizuka was a character prototype for the next heroes we saw them everywhere |
| I'ts an awesome anime and i so hope they continue it some day. |
 |
| Aww, it was way too rushed, certainly I did enjoy this show, amazing, I can't help but to give GTO a 9/10, too many unanswered questions and it felt like something was missing. It was almost as great as a masterpiece, well done. Now to the manga. |
| AWFUL ENDING!!! wtf?!?! why is he in California??? plus why should he run the truth about all that would have come out in no time... very annoying and aggravating for me. also ... how did he get on the plane if he was a wanted criminal just recently in the news? |
 |
| I really have very mixed feelings about this anime. On one hand I can see that objectively it is a masterpiece as far as anime goes and personally I thought that the characters were some of the best written in anime. On the other hand, it got so boring in parts that it was difficult to watch and I hated Onizuka. I know that I need to explain that last part since I'm probably the only one to feel that way since the entire anime was all about how great he was. The easiest way for me to explain it is to compare Onizuka to the two characters he seems to be a combination of: Dr.House and Robin Hood. Onizuka fits the Robin Hood cliche of being the idealistic champion of the oppressed(students) in a corrupt system. Unfortunately, in order for those characters to be popular with the other characters they have to be unusually kind and generous because revolutionizing corrupt systems always stirs up a whole bunch of shit which screws up innocent bystanders lives. Despite being an overbearing asshole like House is Onizuka magically gets around this. All the shit he's stirring up and BS philosophy he spouts actually makes everyones lives better purely because of bizzare amounts of luck and the students own efforts. He's also probably the crappiest teacher ever but it doesn't matter since he's so lucky. Here's how he differs from House: Onizuka doesn't care about doing what he thinks is right, he's just got a chip on his shoulder. All he wants to do is prove those teachers wrong by being acknoledged as the greatest teacher who ever lived. He also fails to be sympathetic in the way that House is because he can only continue doing what he feels is right because he constantly gets support from everyone rather than because he knows what he's doing is right. Also House's view of what's right is only valid because he has so much experience and is a genius. Onizuka's view of what's "right" is only good because it's better than a junior highschoolers or corrupt bureaucrats view of what's "right". In short I hate Onizuka because I hate him. This anime gets a 7/10 despite the fact that I acknowledge that objectively it would be a 9/10 and I am done typing. I am not objective, end of story. |
Prayermad said: I meant that that is the score I probably would have given GTO had I not been prejudiced by the fact that I personally disliked the main character because I was comparing him to House. I had hoped the context of the previous two paragraphs would make that obvious without having to spell it out.your reasoning is beyond my grasp. how could this... 'objectively'... be a 9/10? on what grounds are you judging it 'objectively'? I wasn't trying to claim that I could be completely objective. I thought that "I am not objective, end of story" would make that clear enough. The reason for that is because I try to rate purely by how much fun I had watching it rather than as a professional critic would rate. Personally, I can't imagine giving any anime that I found "damn entertaining" a score of less than 9. The only reason my dislike for Onizuka even affects my score is because my frustration with his character made parts of the show painful to watch. That and also he was NOT funny. I hope my explanation has put my reasoning firmly in your grasp. Now, I'd appreciate it if you could please clear up a couple questions I had about your objective criticism of GTO: Prayermad said: So you base your 'objective' opinion on a negative reaction to hype about the characters? I've always felt that one way or another hype is always the single worst enemy of anyone trying to be objective. Besides, if you thought that it was damn entertaining despite the shallow characters you must have thought the rest of it was perfect. What kind of objective score places so much emphasis one aspect of an anime?personally i'd give it a much lower score if i was to judge it objectively, because it's shallow and of low quality in most respects. i dont see why people are making a big deal out of the characters in GTO. most of the characters play a shallow role in one or two scenarios, and after that they no longer matter. if it wasnt for the fact that GTO is so damn entertaining, i'd give it a 4 or a 5, at most. |

| Hmm pretty good, like most I thought the ending was kinda rushed but I guess a smooth flowing ending wouldn't really fit this awesome show. Nice to see VP redeeming himself in the episode. Really enjoyed watching this show but I prefer anime which have a concrete plot whereas this anime was kinda all over the place. Although don't get me wrong, the muddled up nature of the plot did suit this anime! Overall kinda 8.5/10 but rounded down 8/10 |
     last.fm ╢ My CG AMV ╢ Otaku Test ╢ |
| THIS IS THE BEST I LOVED the last ep and the hole show. its been 10 years I WANT A SQUEAL...HELL ill take a remake |
   Special thanks to orbitzz for the sig |
| Technically this isnt what the mangaka wrote! (well at least not the ending), and he didnt participate at the anime at all. ( Also the low quality... dude it was 2000 not 2010 :D ) Anyway, if you wanna understand why people make such a fuzz about GTO, read the manga (Shonan Junai Gumi, Bad Company, Great Teacher Onizuka and Shonan 14 Days in that order) Onizuka story is all these manga Spoiler Alert: contains part of the manga`s ending The GTO anime`s ending isnt genuine and also its not even 1/2 of the manga`s story. Anyway cya guyz! |
| I didn't feel like the ending was forced and well, I was hoping for a scene where the students talk about where Onizuka is and then jump to Fuyutsuki sensei. I have a feeling that GTO will meet the governator. I never really liked Aizawa that much in the end because well.....she's still a bitch to Eikichi till the end. |
