Why is this drama #1? Frankly...it was rather boring...i preferred Gokusen way more, even Dragon Zakura had its better points....Pretty Boring.

The Best

Azumanga Daioh Fan · 27 May 2006

This is probably on my top ten drama list because it is extremely funny, sad, and important. Takashi Sorimachi who is one of my favorite actors is amazing as Onizuka. The acting is very well done and the story is moving and extremely smart. Some of the parts in the episodes were so funny that i couldnt stop laughing. And some parts even made me teary eyed which is kindda lame for me because im a guy. This is a drama that everyone can enjoy whether comedy lover or drama lover, teenager or adult.

I insist that anyone who has ever been a student, is a student, was a teacher, or is a teacher should watch this show. Do yourself a favor and watch it today.

Main actor did a great job portraying a cool, courageous, caring teacher who is a bit of a pervert.

Koven · 7 Apr 2006

I don't understand why this drama is number one in top 50. The actors are certainly good and atmosphere is quite funny but the story is completely unrealistic. That makes a lack of credibility. Criticism of japanese education model appears to me in GTO not very pertinent and the solution suggested (a professor who becomes a good friend with his pupils) is simply grotesque.

I watched this drama years ago, but still can remember the plots and the leading actor. If I could have a teacher like him, wow, that would be so great.

I think GTO is a favorite of countless amounts of people. Seriously, it was sooo funny and touching at the same time! I watched it after watching Hotman, also starring Sorimachi, so it was really shocking to see the different characters haha. Unruly class, crazy teacher, lots of life lessons. Makes me wish that my teachers were a bit more like Onizuka-Sensei...He cared for his students so much! And its super cool to see actors when they were young...like Oguri Shun. I've watched this drama several times, and it is still good. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

GTO rules!!! i love sorimachi and nanako together: on and off screen...this is the show that got me hooked on doramas!

I was very eager to watch this drama after seeing all the rave reviews. I just finished the last episode and am definitely disappointed. I like dramas with some silliness (I loved Gokusen) but this one really requires you to turn off the logic centers of your brain.
Generally each episode contains what is often called the "idiot plot", meaning the conflict could quickly be resolved with just one sentence spoken at the right time. But then, of course, each
episode would only last 10 minutes.

Each episode is pretty much the same:
1. Some ridiculous conflict arises.
2. Onizuka takes an action which in the real world would result
in a significant prison term.
3. One or more people do a bunch ignorant things to make the
situation worse.
4. Someone makes a teary-eyed speech defending Onizuka.
5. Conflict is resolved.

Often this "great teacher's" actions are negligent and harmful to his students (like ignoring an unconscious, injured student for what appears to be hours in order to search for a lost necklace.)

I don't see what anyone sees in Takashi's acting. He seems to
have gotten his training from watching monkeys at the zoo.
Absolutely no subtlety in his performance, mostly just mugging for the camera. (Granted, there's no subtlety in the scripts so that might be part of the problem.)

There are touching moments in most episodes but they are based on such artificial situations that they don't ring true.

Takashi · 13 Feb 2006

This drama is funny as hell, but there are some very touching parts as well.

Sorimachi is superb by using his own style of teaching, Nanako was great and so dam cute; they area prefect match.

If you havenft seen it your missing out, GTO is one of the best JDorama out there and for a good reason... so go ahead and watch it! ^_^

erick_himura · 28 Dec 2005

Sorimachi playing really well in this drama. like do you know Onizuka is a teacher that is imposibble and in this drama he make it possible....
Do you realize that onizuka always wearing the same clothes.. if not with start symbol than "777"... what is the meaning.....

zhixiong · 28 Nov 2005

This 1998 dorama is still the undisputed best drama series ever. It has a winning formula of a understanding teacher that gives 100% to students.. something we did not experience in our younger days.

Simply put the best thing u can watch on a screen.

Shindou · 14 Sep 2005

My first and most favourite jdrama yet! Its unconventional plots and Onizuka's irregular teaching methods helped create a most heartwarming and inspirational jdrama. Plotlines were very nicely adapted from the anime and flowed exceptionally smoothly building up to a triumphant ending. Truly enjoyed the watching experience and definitely worth re-watching again! GTO 4eva!
