Summary: Onizuka is a reformed biker gang leader who has his sights set on an honorable new ambition: to become the world's greatest teacher... for the purpose of meeting sexy high school girls. Okay, so he's mostly reformed.

However, strict administrators and a class of ruthless delinquents stand between Onizuka and his goal and they will use any means, however illegal or low, to drive the new teacher away. Perfect, because Onizuka's methods won't be found in any teaching manual; he cares about the difference between legal and illegal activities about as much as he cares for the age difference between himself and a high school girl.

So get ready for math that doesn't add up, language you'd be slapped for using, and biology that would make a grown man blush... unless of course, you're the Great Teacher Onizuka.

Personal Opinion: I know what you might be thinking. Yeah, it's a very very old anime. Or that's what I thought at first. Like, I found this anime while I was just surfing through top animes in MyAnimeList, and I didn't really want to watch it because of the art quality and how it was so old. But I kind of liked the story from the summary^ and I thought maybe I'd just give it a try at the first episode. Without a doubt, the very first episode of GTO is the best first episode I've ever seen. It was like a mini movie since it was actually 40 minutes and not 20 and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I have to admit the art quality or style may not be that good when you're comparing to anime nowadays, but after watching it I think the quality is what makes it that much more interesting. :) 

I really liked it and it was really really interesting and funny too. I wouldn't really say its a must-watch, but its a very good anime if you can just be patient and give it some time.
