Great Teacher Onizuka

leave a comment »

So I got bored and started another drama series! Yay me? Okay, so this one is titled, Great Teacher Onizuka. As some of you may know, there was a manga series by the same name, shortened to GTO. The whole series is about a man named Eikichi Onizuka who doesn’t know what he wants out of life, but found himself to be a teacher. He’s not well educated, leader of a bike gang, and is a karate expert, but he was still hired by a strange director. The head teacher, whom he had a quarrel with, is always trying to get him fired and no matter what he does, still views him as trash.

While trying to enjoy his time at the high school, Onizuka must also deal with this unruly Class 2-4. All the students have some sort of hatred toward teachers except two who are picked on. Thus far, they have replaced two of their homeroom teachers and are looking to oust Onizuka as well. One by one, the problem students are converted to cheerful, happy ones that are trying to save Onizuka’s career.

This series has a lot of great morals and advice. At the same time, it’s also very funny and deals with many problems that all teens have today. There’s the student who was blessed with a wealthy household, but her family doesn’t care for each other. There’s the student who is just working towards college and does not enjoy what he has today. There is also a student who is afraid to speak out, but finds his voice and speaks out. One has to speak for themselves and try to find themselves. It does not matter if they once strayed from the wrong path, they can always get on the right one if they just tried. Onizuka himself is a living, breathing proof of that. He was rebellious as the students were in highschool, but he still managed to find himself a job that he enjoys wholeheartedly. If you are or are not one of these problem children, I recommend you watch this series. It will really inspire you to try many things you never have before.
