GTO is famous for its manga, anime and an old drama from 1998, both are worth watching, and if you don't know, this article will recommend you to know this great work.
The focus of this article is on the 2012 drama remake, which is not well known in the west. Both works tell the story of Eikichi Onizuka is a 22-year-old boy who is the leader of a motorcycle gang, and a black belt in karate. Until one day he decides to become a school teacher, and ends up with a terrible classroom that hates teachers. Using unconventional methods, he seeks to bring his students in line, becoming friends, understanding them and showing them that a teacher also has feelings.
Even if in a slavish way, Onizuka ends up showing that it's not worth giving up on your dreams, and that nothing is impossible, being himself an example of that. If you're low on self esteem, discouraged, or want some excitement, watch it!!!
Great Teacher Onizuka - What did I like?
See an AMV with one of their most exciting soundtracks. (has spoilers)
This was one of the first dramas I watched, and it was the oldest anime I watched, that's because I hate watching anime in square resolution.
This is a truly captivating work from beginning to end. Composed of 11 Episodes and 3 Specials, I even had to subtitle 2 specials because I couldn't find the subtitles in English TT
The characters, the soundtrack, the comedy, the action is fully present in this series. In addition to bringing a lot of emotion and life lessons.
The main character of the Onizuka series is played by Akira from the band EXILE. Even the opening theme of the drama is spectacular:
I believe there is no doubt that, in my opinion, GTO is a must for anyone who enjoys comedy and life lessons. It doesn't matter if it's the anime, manga or drama, see this work!
The series was so successful that a new season (Continued) was released in 2014. And you can watch both the first season, the specials and the new season for free on Crunchyroll, at the link below.
