Seeing your teacher come to class, check attendance and teach lessons regularly are some of the ordinary sights to behold in a classroom. But seeing these things happen at Seirin High School’s Class 3-4, well that’s another story.

Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) is all about Eikichi Onizuka, a 22 year-old ex-biker who dreams to become the greatest teacher in Japan. However, Onizuka here is not your ordinary teacher as he just mainly roams around school and even calls the class off whenever he gets bored.
His story started when he reported as a substitute teacher at Mushasino Kichijoji East High School. Almost everything went pretty well for him, except for one: he had forgotten to attend the board examination for public teachers, thus he ended up losing his job. He then tried at Seirin High School, where in he fortunately passed and was given Class 3-4 as his first assignment. And now, armed with anything there is that he could be armed of, Onizuka will be facing a bunch of classroom terrorists in order to share his own idea of life, and what life is really all about.
Honestly speaking, GTO is one of those series that have surely drawn me into never letting go. I actually find its plot striking and wonderful to watch, with the characters developed much to what I have expected.
Its artwork, though was not that splendid, wasn't that sucky either. Its music is also pretty much on the mark; for it merges well with what tone the series has. Japanese seiyuu’s superb and I really like the way they had portrayed their roles. Their voices blend nicely with the characters they are representing, which I think is a definite plus for a good anime.
All in all, GTO is indeed one heck of a series to watch. Although it is a little bit immoral at times, I would still recommend it to everyone especially to future teachers like me; as it serves as one good way to remind us that teaching is more of a vocation rather than a profession. That is, to give more of yourself to millions of children by touching their lives at every point you have lived.
