What I meant was I had no clue what the anime was about and didn't hear much about it. On ep 11 atm and i'm saying this is one of the greatest series of all time!
Bud, DR, thanks for the recommendations.
no problem I am glad that you like it. It is wicked cool after all. Lucy

________ we may fuck up alot but we always pull thru.
after you finish the anime, please go read the manga lol, reread the entire thing if you can, the anime left out alot of the good stuff and it end at volume 19 in the manga while the manga itself is actually 25 volume. Personally i just do it because i'm a freak for completion but i like the manga ending alot more then the anime.
does anyone know where i can download this?
How's manga reading?
I tried it once, and never really liked it because there wasn't any action. It gets me confused quite a bit of times.
I just started this anime. It's looking good so far-- some great moments-- but I hope the jokes don't get tired like they did in Excel Saga.
The jokes in GTO are only a small portion of what makes it an extraordinary anime, so wether they become old or not is of no issue.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
If anyone's curious: I started this at the same time as Azumanga Daioh. GTO is winning by four episodes.
Man, that was a great series. Wish the ending had more to it but the series itself made up for it. The anime deserves alot more praise than just this but I'm really tired from watching all the eps, so I'm gonna catch some ZzzZzz and see if I can find the ovas/movies on Youtube tommorrow.
Bud, DR, I tip my hat to you two for the recommendations...
Edit: Snap, the specials/movies are live action, theres no way in hell you can replace The Great Onizuka with some random japanese dude! Its an insult! Hmm, I'll check out the manga to finish the storyline.

Well try out the live action a bit, its related to GTO series so it shouldn't be all too bad =D.Man, that was a great series. Wish the ending had more to it but the series itself made up for it.

Yeah and go to the manga to finish the story =D.
I'm only on episode 7 right now of the Live Action, but I can say right now that it is fucking awesome. I'm enjoying it just as much as the anime. I still need to check out the movie of GTO and eventually I'm going to buy the anime boxsets since this series is worth it. I'm going to get on the manga eventually as well. I really want to read the prequel to the series (forget the name...). But in all, GTO is very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.
This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
the Live action is great, about the only thing i don't like about it is that Urumi does not make an apperance, she is one of my favorite character.
She doesn't? That sucks. Well, I still gotta check the live actions out at some point, if they indeed are so good as you say.
don't get me wrong, the live action is indeed good but it's not the same kind as the anime, if you go into it with expectation from the anime chances are you won't enjoy it. I would say if you are going to watch it pretend like you never seen the anime before and just watch the show for itself.
Just watched the first episode of the live action. It was pretty good. Certainly you can see it's based on the same story, but man I wonder if I ever can really become accustomed to the Japanese live action. Honestly, the Japanese easily make the best voice actors in the world, but their live action acting is on a par with some better amateur stuff in the West. Or maybe it's just so different that it looks that way to me. Who knows, the time I have been around genuine Japanese people is somewhat limited, and has always happened here in the West, so maybe they are like that in the normal life in Japan, and I'm just a blistering ignorant fool.
But I will certainly watch this whole thing. Despite everything I said, it's also strangely refreshing, even if it looks slightly odd in my eyes.
GTO was with Initial D my first series I dared to download, ep by ep at first... as I was not patient enought to DL a whole serie...
And I Have to say that wathching all of the 43 eps of this series was a blast! I was laughing lot of times in front of my screen, with my wife not understanding... as she was watching television in another room.
I was unlucky enough to watch 2 eps on French TV, my God why are people authorized to trash a story and chara design like that? It was an insult to the japanese culture and the arc of the GTO story itself... Voices and way of speaking of french suburbs, with local codes... very in the spirit of Japan isn't it?
I made myself a promise: never try again a low quality sub or dubbing... that's why I keep on watching anime subbed in english, as I have choice of quality in subbing.
For the live action, I tried my best watching the first 2 eps, but his was way over my limits... and I had to stop because it was so poorly acted and so boring, but that's just my opinion
so i just watched this.
i had heard about it, and how good it was, and everyone told me i should watch it, and when i finally started everyone was like "wait, you haven't watched that?!". but anyways..
so i thought the first half of the series was pretty good, kinda mediocre, but good. then there came in the middle somewhere the introduction of that heterochromic blond chick, who i couldn't stand, and made me wanna stop watching. but then after that it went back to being okay, but then towards the end it got super awesome, and then the last episode was like amazing! the last ep was so good, and such an awesome way to finish the series out.
overall, though the last parts of the series are probably more of a 10/10, i'm gonna give it an 8/10 just because it did have it's ups and downs..

Blasphemy! Urumi is the sole reason that GTO is such a good series.
The back and forth relationship she has with Onizuka, even after he resolves the issues she has, constantly breathe life into the series.
That and Urumi's victory (sometime in the future) is all but absolutely assured.
Of course, the anime doesn't have Urumi's best arc as I recall correctly. They don't get that far.
