If I could, I'd give the enjoyment an 11, which really throws the anime into a league barely ever reached for me.

The story for this is of course multiple subplots of Onizuka in his new life as a teacher, bringing great character development with it.
Without giving any spoilers the story drops Onizuka into multiple situations where he has to use both his thickheaded wit and the comedic genius of the writing to surpass the challenges he faces.
The story also never forgets who Onizuka is, a retired biker gang leader, as in the first episode we see his "famous" ways of dealing with others which may even leave you reeling with laughter.

The art for the series is of course rather lacklustre when compared to works that have come out recently (looking at you fate/stay ufotable). But the series is old so it's fair for it's time hence I can forgive the lapses in quality at various points, especially as the series wasn't Unlimited Budget Works.
The character design in the series is nice too, the style is typical of the time and I think whether you like it or not comes down to taste. There are generic and stereotypical designs with the occasional clearly different one who will become a main character for a story line, however this is the case with all the anime I've watched (as far as I can think) so it's not something I can complain about.


Audio in the series is done very well in my opinion as the voices generally match the character designs to a t, especially Onizuka, Wataru Takagi plays the role brilliantly and conveys the emotions and feelings of him very well to the audience. Again however the actual quality of the sound is clearly old sounding and doesn't match up to modern standards in all aspects.

Characters in the series are very nicely done, showing true development from hating Onizuka and trying all they can to rid the school of him, to of course no avail, then wanting him to stay around and doing all they can to help achieve that. (I don't really think that's a spoiler because that's what development is on a generic level.)
The students who Onizuka takes under his wing all develop in a clear repetitive way this is true, but never do I find myself bored of the plot lines in any situation due to the always present comedy of the series.

So as an overall series the enjoyment factor for me was out of this world and I've watched this series 3 times at the current date, I also recommend it to anyone who even plans on watching it or hasn't watched it, even if they have they should watch it again. 10/10 Masterful series.
