After a girl agrees to go on a date with him, Onizuka, a former gang member, witnesses her teacher coming back to her and asking her to go back to him. Convinced that teachers have it made for them, he earns a teaching degree (barely) and starts teaching at a prestigious school after the chairman gives him an unlikely recommendation.

Opinions:

After finishing this anime, you can immediately tell you have finished a masterpiece. Although the animation is a bit lacking even for its time, the characters are so likable that you'll eventually be sucked into the anime. It does a perfect job of balancing humor with other plot elements.

Overall Rating:

8.8/10
