Summary: Great series
Review: Definitely my favorite anime. Anyone who enjoys anime should check this out. However, I recommend listening to it in Japanese with subtitles. The English voice acting is horrible and, even though I don't speak the language, the characters are far more interesting with the Japanese voices.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing, funny anime
Review: GTO was the first anime, besides DBZ that I'd ever seen and the first in Japanese. I have to agree with other reviewers. The English track is terrible. The Japanese voice actors are much better. Just a warning, you have to stick with it past the first few episodes. It starts out with Onizuka, a man in his mid-twenties trying to get a peek up teenage girls' skirts and him fantasizing about a 16 year old wife. (Note: age of consent is a bit lower in Japan I believe). He's not really a pedophile, just immature. If you bear with the beginning you'll love it. Onizuka wants to be a teacher very badly, even if his motives are a bit warped at times. Despite his sometimes lack of maturity, his heart is in the right place and he does what is right every time (though the principal's car gets destroyed several times in the process) It has a great storyline, lots of action, a little romance (with a woman his age), and tons of humor. Trust me, you'll love it!

Summary: Great Teacher Onizuka
Review: I can say without a doubt that GTO is my favorite anime of all time. It tells the story of Eikichi Onizuka, an ex-biker and virgin, and his quest to become the greatest teacher alive. But to reach his goal he'll have to get by his proclaimed adversary the vice-principal, bullies, classroom terrorists, and the mob. All while trying to instill life lessons upon his students and find himself a girlfriend.

To me GTO has it all: a great story, excellent character development, life applicable lessons, and enough laughs to having you rolling on the floor. If you haven't picked this up you're doing yourself a great injustice.*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*

Summary: Superb Series, Shame About the Dub.
Review: I first caught this series on Internet TV in Japanese Sub.
I loved it so bought the box set.
The production quality of the set is good, though the extras are hit and miss - The outtakes (disk 5) are funny.
BUT, the dub is Awful, worth maybe 3 stars.
I've heard these actors in other series, where they are ok, but they don't suit GTO, with Onisuka being particularly bad in the dub.
Buy this and ignore the Dub, just watch the Sub. I'll be buying the next Box set on release.

Summary: Thanks to GTO, now I'm a zombitaku . . .
Review: I only started watching GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) about a month ago, and now I'm hooked. You see the problem with GTO is that it's too addicting. I've already watched volumes 1-3, skipped 4 and then bought and watched 5-7; yep, only 4 volumes left to go. I'm like an anime zombitaku (that's zombie and otaku jumbled together; yeah I know waaay too much free time); "must . . . watch . . . G . . . T . . . O . . ."

Anyways, GTO is an excellent anime series with something to offer anyone who is willing to watch. And trust me you're gonna need plenty of time to watch, because once you do you won't be able to stop. It's like a drug-induced joy ride complete with karate-do, bikes, cars, races, girls in uniforms, comedy, plot and a whole lotta teacher-haters.

Okay, about that plot. Onizuka (the Great Teacher guy) was once a biker gang big shot. Now he's on a mission to become the best teacher in all of Japan. But there's one thing stopping him; the students in his middle school class. Throughout the series Onizuka teaches and learns from his students. Helping the kids to work out their problems. Each one bringing him one step closer to his goal.

Released by TOKYOPOP this is definitely a must-own series for any anime fan. Trust me you're gonna end up needing another pleasure inducing volume of GTO after the end of every DVD. So be prepared to spend, spend and spend some more. Be ready to join the GTO-junkie movement, heh, heh, heh . . . must . . . watch . . . G . . . T . . . O . . .

Summary: a must buy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I purchased all the DVDs individually. Each volume contains incredible stories taking you on a ride of laughs, paniced moments, frenzied 'what's gonna happen next?' and even a few tear jerkers! I think this is one of the most entertaining, diverse Anime series I have ever seen. The off-the-wall antics of Onizuka are something to behold! And the twists and turns in each story line keep you glued watching it! I highly recommend this! The first few ephisodes make him out to be a perve, and while he still kind of is, there's something captivating about him (that you'll discover if you keep watching).

The animation quality is pretty good (not as good as say .hack, but very well done). The characters supporting GTO are also diverse, entertaining, and... Well, the whole thing is a train wreck that you just HAVE TO WATCH! ....
