1. GOKUSEN IS BAAACK [Rating: 8/10]
watching
Reviewed by Di@na on 23 April 2008
2. Feels like watching Gokusen 18 [Rating: 1/10]
This is barely a review at this point since I only saw episode 1, but what I saw makes me believe that I won't change my mind after watching the rest (I will try episodes 2 and maybe 3 unless it improves).
It felt like exactly the same scenario - again !!! - as Gokusen 1. I could accept some repeat in Gokusen 2, but 3 times is too much.
If you have never seen Gokusen 1, skip this one and watch Gokusen 1 instead.

----**** Attention spoiler ****----
Let me convince you by telling you briefly what the first episode is about:
- It starts with the old Kyoto-sensei (Namase) with a problem class 3-D
- Yankumi (Nakama) is the teacher of a class on a remote Japanese island but is fired. She joins the Kyoto-sensei and discovers (oh surprise) that she gets the difficult 3-D class
- The class is a mess, they all look like gangsters and make a lot of noise, until a very quiet one at the far end of the room tells the others to be quiet and they all obey and sit down. Yankumi finds out he's the Boss of the class.
- One in the class tries to hit Yankumi, she avoids his fist but pretends she did not do it in purpose
- Within the other teachers, there are 2 others nice-looking young women thqt the bad behaving kids talk about
- The former gym teacher Baba joins the school but surprisingly forgot Yankumi's connection with a Yakusa family
- One of Yankumi's kids is wrongly accused of a theft, everybody thinks he did it except Yankumi, she fights for him and finaly the police let him go.
- While bad boys are beating one of Yankumi's students, she comes into a hangar and beats them all while doing a speech
- While running to school, Yankumi collides with a man that becomes the white knight of her dreams
- and so on, and so on...

It is exactly the same script, same jokes, same stories, same background music, with less interesting characters and different kids. Rhhhhhaaaa what I waste.

I never seen this, but I FIRMLY believe, that this drama is good just like the previous GOKUSENs.

When the original gets photocopied, its resolution kinda gets blurry. Gokusen 3 is a rehash of 1 and 2 but its more like Gokusen 2 after watching 4 episodes. The boys are younger and angrier and Takaki Yuuya stands out in my radar cause he was channeling Jin Akanisi's Hayato character from Gokusen 2. I love Yankumi, so I watch. But just between the two of us , Gokusen 1 was impeccable in storyline and casting. Gokusen 2 was irresistible because of Jin and Kame. So I am not complaining bring on the bishies in Gokusen 3.

Only seen a couple eps so far but it's definitely the worst of the lot. The second season was bad enough but at least it had some hotties. They're all ugly or look 12 years old in this one. The acting is worse too. And the story is obviously the same, lame-o recycled one.

13. Comments by Nermal [Rating: 5/10]
Giving it a try... mainly for the shits and giggles because I really still think Shin, Noda, Kuma, etc.. were the best! (And also what the manga is all about)

** After watching it, aside from a few cameo appearances from some actors that I like, this was again a big let down. Just move on to another series please... this is getting way too far from the original Gokusen manga...

repetitive and old. enough said. gokusen should be a banned material from now on.
21. Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: ?/10]
funny as usual but the boys are not that cute!
22. Comments by JuLy [Rating: 5/10]
not much to say...three times without new move...new story...its just so so...
yankumi still great, but the acting from the rest of actors is so so...
The only one that eyes catching is 'kazama', but he's not tall enough hehe...
I dont like the one who plays 'Ogata', he just mimics Jin Akanishi's act at Gokusen 2 and the worst is he doesnt look a like enough even better than Jin was...
However, I noticed that this third season is sells Japans beatiful view, its absolutely clear view with great angle from so much scene, four thumbs up for the cameraman (I give 10 for cameramans team) ^^
-to be continued- (i've only seen the 1-4 episodes...still waiting the next episodes)

really all of this is almost exactly the same as the other seasons i mean there is the same problems and stuff as the previous seasons just different and less interesting kids...i think they should have came up with some thing different if they were going to make another season....it really bored me....
24. Comments by poopiefish [Rating: 6/10]
I am still watching this...
Even though I have given Gokusen 2 a low rating previously, watching Gokusen 3 made me realize that sometimes repetitiveness can be extremely comforting and enjoyable. The predictability of the series is something that I do not have to restate, since so many others have pointed that out already, but if you come home from a bad day, watching something that you are familiar with somehow makes you feel better.

Gokusen 3 is very good at that, providing a predictable storyline, yet never failing to induce tears in my eyes when it comes to the touching moments. I suppose this is the magic of Yankumi.

im voting for it because..ive been waiting for it but aLSO i really like Gokusen ever since ive watched its 1st season..

At first, I was disappointed to find out it was just the same old Gokusen 1 plot all over again. However, I had to take into account the Japanese preference for continuity, they will stick to whatever works.
So while I no longer deeply enjoy the third installment, I'm quite sure that Gokusen 3 will still be a hit.
