I love the plot of this anime, which centers around Onizuka. He may not be great at actually teaching the school curriculum, but he is great at teaching his students life lessons. The anime lives up to it’s name, sort of. The format really helped GTO to give that lighthearted feel that I enjoy in slice of life + comedy anime. The anime moves one problem at a time, and didn’t leave me feeling overwhelmed at any point – which is probably best for comedy. No point in over-complicating the plot design when the main focus is comedy I think. New student(s) try to cause trouble… and the cycle repeats.Įasy, simple, and it works.The trouble making students now like Onizuka and join his side.Student(s) purposely try to cause trouble for Onizuka / get him fired.But that doesn’t mean I can’t love GTO for this as well! I Love The Simple FormatĪ lot of anime have simple formats, especially slice of life anime. Below are some of my thoughts on the anime. I definitely think it’s a memorable anime that stands out, and I can see why it has such a great rating on MAL. I truly enjoyed the anime and what it had to offer. I’ve pretty much already laid out how I feel about Great Teacher Onizuka overall. What more could you ask for from an anime? It’s entertaining, interesting / exciting, and very funny. Sure, the animation won’t blow you away, and I feel like the voice acting is average compared to modern anime but the content of GTO really pulls its weight. I’ve never actually seen Cowboy Bebop despite it’s popularity, maybe I’ll give it a shot sometime.īefore I go into spoilers, I just wanted to say that GTO is an excellent slice of life + high school + comedy anime with a great plot. Maybe not right away, but I feel like my apprehension towards older anime is less than it was just a few weeks ago. So Evangelion didn’t manage to achieve what GTO did – make me want to dive into more older anime. Honestly, I didn’t enjoy it very much at all, it just seemed to drag on and I feel like it couldn’t keep me interested / excited (The End of Evangelion movie was pretty good though). Older anime tend to make me apprehensive, because I really enjoy modern animation / sound – but GTO has opened my eyes to the true potential of older anime and how they can shine despite their age. Despite the high ratings this anime has, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Has my eye for anime drastically improved recently? I keep lucking out with my choices for what anime to watch! This time around the anime that kept me gleefully entertained was Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO).
