"College humor"
6 / 10Finndlin · 2012
I did it, I watched the infamous "Gokusen" which is pretty much supposed to be one of the funniest jdrama.
First of all if you're looking for something realistic and plausible you can spare you the trouble of watching it. You're not going to believe one second that the story could have actually really happened. For example you can clearly notice that Nakama Yukie can't fight, which makes all those tough yakusa combats positively ridiculous!
As for the general plot, the idea of a the granddaughter yakusa being a teacher was rather nice and caused many good jokes (sometimes a bit repetitive..)
Actor were just plain, and most of them weren't natural. It was very disturbing during the emotional sequence, the result was gross. Oh and I absolutely hated the moral lessons which were inappropriate for this kind of entertainment.
I'd say it's a fair comedy, distracting and very forgettable ;)
