Not as good as 1998 TV Series
5 / 10sonychak · 2013
I don't understand why so many people love this series. If you are a fan of GTO (anime, manga, and 1998 TV series), this will not be your cup of tea. You will have a problem of comparing this to them. The acting is pretty bad by the cast except for a few of the students, the editing doesn't allow any character development for the characters thus making it feel rushed, the show doesn't know if it was to be a comedy/drama/or anime like show, the music is really corny where it takes you out of an emotional scene, and it is super cheesy.
I do think there are some positives though. For instance, some of the students actually do some good acting. The main leads suck though. Another positive is the story isn't exactly the same as the anime or 1998 TV series. This was good for me because it kept me curious of where the story was going to go.
Overall, this was not a great show. I highly recommend checking out the 1998 TV series. It is honestly a great representation of the anime. There is actual development and you get a better idea of why Onizuka wants to be a teacher. I think that was the main strength for me.
