| 1. | I finally understand why this is the #1 of all dra [Rating: 10/10]
After finally watching GTO. I've just had to write a review and I have just made an account to do so! This was one of the hole in my list and I've already watched Nodame Cantabile, Hana Yori Dango 1+2, First Kiss, Galileo, 1 Rittoru no Namida, Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake, and Nobuta Wo Produce. This has made my favourite, Nodame Cantabile, to my 2nd favourite. Guess what, GTO is my favourite now and it's really going to set the standard for all the TV dramas out there. Having watched a 1998 drama in 2008, here's what I had to say.
Let me first say for good dramas they may have all the best cast, good filmography, and perfect execution, but a great movie takes soul into making a great story and it's something not only that you enjoy while watching it but even after you feel good whenever you think about it. Unquestionably, this is a drama to be remembered.
GTO has many teachings, and of those the most important aspects of life. The actor of Onizuka, Sorimachi Takashi, he totally shines and even though it is a remake of a manga, he introduced new flavors to the character. Simply said, he made this drama very enjoyable. There wasn't a time that I disliked his acting.
There are times where you might hate the head teacher or the other teachers, but that's just part of the story. Being so, I believe something could have been done to alter that and have its own version aside from the manga/anime. And really there are some small tidbits that I thought were a little lame, but nonetheless it carried through progressively and became understandable.
Finally, what really touched me were the teachings and the very wise words from Onizuka. Near the end, I can feel the connection between Onizuka sensei and Fuyutsuki sensei. They were my favourite characters and I liked seeing them together because it showed a sense of true love. After finding out that both of them got together after GTO, later got married, and even had two daughters, made me think how lucky they both are! Both are in the same age group, and I guess love is all around.
Love, it's not about status, money, looks, or fate, it's an accomplishment to fall in love with someone that you can't live without. And remember you make your own fate, and as said in the drama, "life is not a rehearsal", so take the courage and enjoy lliving life without regrets. |

| 2. | very disappointing [Rating: 4/10]
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. |

| 3. | before anything, he is a star [Rating: 10/10]
with all that has been said about this drama, it is one of the best i have seen. Sorimachi plays a brilliant onizuka, and is able to, with great skill, draw in the audience to forget for even a second that he is an actor, and makes it seem that onizuka just might be an actual person. the storyline...where do i begin? the idea of even a gangster-type who never graduated from a top university becoming a private school teacher seems farfetched but this drama shows that even the biggest of dreams can come true. the motivation it brings seeing as he goes about his business in the school inspires many, if not at least me, to once again believe that perhaps anything you dream, if you truly believe and want it, can come true. the theme song Poison, sung by sorimachi himself, is something that does not easily leave the brain, with lyrics both deep and powerful. this is definately not a run of the mill drama but a classic that even now i find hard to stay away from |

i just loved this j-drama. unlike the other teachers especially in real life who are so mean to us mostly, i like the way onizuka treats his students especially the thing that he don't want his students to be called as trash. he really care for his students because he wants his students to have experience rather than education. he is not just a teacher but as a true friend which i have one in my school today. he really deserves to be called as a great teacher. the acting is great especially the funny ones. i just loved the movie as well. and of course, the soundtrack poison is so superb it is also very touching for me. i wish this j-drama will be aired here in the philippines so that the teachers nationwide will watch this and see what is the meaning of a great teacher. all my 10 are belong to this so you better watch this. |

The Story::
The story took the more interesting parts of the manga/anime, but at times it seemed that the story dragged... the ending was much better than the anime, but I wish it was more "finalized." The movie was a disappointment.
The Actors::
The chemistry between Sorimachi and Matsushima were on point! Although not the greatest actors, its easy to see why these two are so popular. Sorimachi was PERFECT as Onizuka. Matsushima was elegant as the beautiful Fuyutski. All of the students were decent, but the standout was Kubozuka (I recommend the movie "Go") and Ikeuchi.
Summary::
Kinda long winded and preachy at times, but the chemistry between Sorimachi and Matsushima makes this an enjoyable show to watch. Definitely a must for teachers. |

| 6. | GTO -> One of My Fave [Rating: 10/10]
Gosh, it's indeed a great dorama!! I watched every episode with so emotional interest, sometimes it made me laugh, sometimes it made me cry, sometimes it made me think. Sorimachi Takashi is really perfect on playing his role as "Great Teacher Onizuka", he just has all the ability to play it naturally. The roles of his students are also so well done, Kubozuka Yosuke as Kikuchi, Ikeuchi Hiroyuki as Murai, Kirari as Nanako, Kuroda Miki as Tomoko, Nakamura Aimi as Aizawa Miyabi, and others are made the school's life shown so as it has to be. The conflicts happened are so real as those in the real life, and that's what made you will be touching. I highly recommended to watch this great dorama. |

| 7. | #1 on JDorama For a REASON! [Rating: 8/10]
Now I can understand why GTO is the #1 rated drama on JDorama - even if it might not be MY personal all-time favorite. Sorimachi Takashi is hilarious! He's so smooth and sly in his role. The series, despite boasting a "violent" teacher with a criminal past, it can be rather light-hearted and downright cute. I enjoyed the diverse characters and stories, and how Onizuka managed to heal all wounds with his unique style and attitude. Although, I have to admit that the drama special, and especially the movie, really stretched the limit as to how far you can take an outrageous character like Onizuka. However, if there's ever a GTO 2, I'd watch it. |

| 8. | Great story and HILAROUS [Rating: 10/10]
WHoa I love this drama. Takashi (Onizuka) a total bum in this drama lol. He becomes a teacher yet he doesnt give a crap how his students treat him, how the other teachers and principles treat him, Especially also how Nanako (Fuyutsuki) treats him. Yet in the end all his students, and teachers love him and are sooo loyal to him. Onizuka only had one priorty in this drama, and that was to take care of his students. Even for the ones who wanted to get them fired. He stilled cared about them even tho they treated him like crap. But the thing that makes this drama soo funny is the way Onizuka really never showed that he cared LOL |

I didn't think it was this good, this movie, when i watched it for its first few minutes. But by the passing second, I got more and more captivated by the flow of the story and the character's self-development. I didn't like it at first when I found lots of things were so different from the book. But, hey, things are better this way, i thought, cose it feels natural. The story was like following its cue naturally!!! It becomes sooooo GREATT like the GREAT teacher inside itself!! Damn!! How I wish I had a teacher like him in this lifetime!!! To spend my new year's eve watching this drama seri is not wasted!!! |

GTO is fenomenal, it's one of my favorite. I even watch every episodes over and over. Onizuka is so cool as a teacher. And although it's not as @#%&^$& as the manga, But I personally think it's better that way. An ex-trouble maker, ends up as a teacher.....hmm maybe it is what the world today needs. His experience to handle people is superb. Sorimachi's act is great(like Onizuka always said"....omae wa GURETO(great)...."), love Rena Tanaka act at the GTO movie. And Kirari(Nanako) is so cute......Overall, it's a good drama if you want to find comedy, action, and romance in one movie. |

I've never been as annoyed with anything as with the stubborn teacher characters that plot Onizuka's demise episode in and out. The head teacher in particular made my stomach churn; I could barely even stand looking at him! So watching this drama was a sort of masochistic exercise for me, as opposed to the indelible pleasure I was hoping it would be. Toward the final episodes, there were a number of genuinely touching moments, but I think that my original viewing of the GTO movie may have moved me more. Of course, I'd probably be saying the exact opposite had I seen the drama before. |

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. |

One of the first JDramas I've ever watched. It contained all of the right elements to make this one of the best dramas ever. The music, the story, the acting, and the chemistry between the people, are all superb. This is one drama that will make you laugh, will touch you, will enlighten you, and delight you all at the same time. I personally feel the key ingredient to the success of this drama is that Onizuka is played so well, his character on screen is brought out so much one can't help but connect with him and all the people around him.

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've only watched a couple of J-dramas so far and although this one is rated high, but I think that it is only an 8. I've only seen episodes 1-4 and the special but it seems like each week Onizuka wins over another bad boy/girl in his class. He is suppose to be this cool sensei but he can seem really clumsey at times. The stories seem to be geared for students. So far it's rather predictable but I still watch it. Some of this would not be shown in the US as the censors would get to it. |
