I just started watching this, it's not great, but I think it's good enough to recommend it to some of you guys.

First 8 episodes have been released by #anime-eternal at rizon

"Based on the manga Salaryman Kintaro.
There`s also a game with the same name.
And a live-action series.

But this is the anime, by Emotion (Bandai Visual)

"It`s about Kintaro, former leader of a widely feared and respected biker gang, who decides that its time to `straighten out` and become a `salaryman` since his wife died and he has to take care of his young son."

Sounds similar to GTO, but it isnt.
Well, it is a little similar, but its original.
I`d say its more like a modern day anime version of "Lone wolf and cub" then it is a GTO copy."

wear can we get the rest baka-updates only seems to go up to eps 3 and the links you posted only seem to have info on the series, unless im missing something in plane sight =/

Im pretty sure ill like this for the same reason I like Witchblade everybody digs the responsible parent type, its one of the reasons I like Capeta as well.
