Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) is a spin-off anime series based on the manga, and the Live Action series GTO. GTO is one of the best anime series I have ever seen. I'm not sure how i stumbled upon this masterpiece of drama and comedy, but I'm sure happy I did. Basically the whole series is about Onizuka, and how he improves the lives of other people, while adding as much comedy to it as possible. Their are also some serious points to this anime, and a warmth to it that will make you always feel "good".

Don't get me wrong though, the series is funny as hell, has a mature theme, and has some ecchi to boot. Onizuka, on his way to becoming the greatest teacher ever, some how finds his way into teaching for a private and well respected high school. But with his past knowledge in the hands of school administrators now, it seems that no matter where he turns trouble follows.

First he is assigned homeroom teacher to the worse class in the whole school, and this class has a reputation of "putting out" all their previous homeroom teachers by making them quit for some reason or another. But little does the class know that Onizuka is not a "regular" teacher, and he is bound to kick anyone's ass if there is ass needed to be kicked. So it is Onizuka's job to "fix" this class up for the school, but the only problem is that Onizuka doesn't know anything about the class until "weird" things start to happen.

That is the beginning of a wonderful series that no one should miss out on, although I would recommend it to a more mature audience. The animation is superb; the facial expressions are really well drawn out and funny (specially on Onizuka himself). Although the character design is not that of your typical anime, you will surely fall in love with it as I have. The music is on a level of its own, its not quite catchy and frequent, but it definitely fits with the series. As for story, well thats the best thing about this anime, because it's story is more then just superb, but it is one of those things you can rarely come by these days.

The only bad side to this anime is that the series could of been much more longer, and seemed to just end to quick, leaving the viewer to think "I want more". Their is a lot more to say about this fantastic series, but instead of revealing more information about it to you, it would be much more better for you guys/gals to go and see the series for your selves, and experience the GTO fever.
