I can not believe I forgot about such a GREAT series. I have to admit, this series has soul, it has style, and it has a great plot. The manga spawned an anime, then the anime a Live action series.
I suggest you all go out and get the 52 episodes or the 25 volumes. Seems like alot? It is but it is all gold. No filler too. (Well maybe some but about like 2% of all the epsiodes is filler) Trust me it's good filler too.
Premise: Eklichi Onizuka is a former member of one of Japan's most notorious youth biker gangs. He is currently attending a 5th rate college and is captain of the karate team. Jobless and has little to no money he decides to get job. He decides (through a turn of events) to ebcome a teacher. But not just any teacher he wants to become the greatest teacher in Japan. (Hence the G.T.O = Great Teacher Onizuka) Since Onizuka was a former biker gang he has a temper and has alot of strength. (which he uses liberally) He gets instated to the worst class in the school full of punks, and miscreants. Chain of events happens (Hilarious I might add) Onizuka manages to tame the class and sets his status. Now he is in charge of another class who uses classroom terrorism to make their teachers quit or have a psychotic breakdown. Various students try and take down Onizuka and thus the story starts on The Greatest Teacher to hit Japan. G.T.O!
