Now this is a blast from the past.
Let's make this clear:
Disclaimer: Shounen
This is not a show for people who are nitpicky and can't hold their suspension of disbelief for the sake of humor and enjoyment.
Or like dark and mature nonrepetitive narratives with realism, depths, symbolism and whatnot.
This is not an action shounen.
This is not an isekai.
This is not school harem shounen.
This is a school comedy-drama life lessons shounen.
of epic proportions with a lot of heart and soul.
If you meet these criteria.
Then this might be your bread and butter.
*Review*
To this day this anime probably has a few of my favourite scenes in anime.
Don't go diving into this show expecting it to be realistic as you will be severely disappointed.
It has arc driven narratives of the students.
But what it lacks in overall narrative it makes up in characters and character development.
What I can promise you though is a heartwarming and epic character driven show filled with optimistic life lessons.
Just imagine a really badass and supposedly perverted guy that has the deus ex machina level of 9001.
With a lot of heart.
He is the second coming of Teacher Anime Jesus. You seriously can't hate the guy.
Ex Greatest Biker Gang Leader turn Greatest Teacher with hypothetical restraint.
He is the realest nigga.
The situations within it are just so absurd and dramatic that's it can be very funny and uplifting at times.
Yet there are serious moments within it, which is not a popular trope these days.
Which is what I love about Great Teacher Onizuka.
The animation in this is a bit dated.
But the soundtrack oh boy the soundtrack if you like 90s J Rock and Jazz this will be a treat for you.
Forget about this season.
Watch this instead if you're a fan of the life lessons variety of Shounen.
