GTO Box Set Vol. 1

GTO was the first anime, besides DBZ that I'd ever seen and the first in Japanese. I have to agree with other reviewers. The English track is terrible. The Japanese voice actors are much better. Just a warning, you have to stick with it past the first few episodes. It starts out with Onizuka, a man in his mid-twenties trying to get a peek up teenage girls' skirts and him fantasizing about a 16 year old wife. (Note: age of consent is a bit lower in Japan I believe). He's not really a pedophile, just immature. If you bear with the beginning you'll love it. Onizuka wants to be a teacher very badly, even if his motives are a bit warped at times. Despite his sometimes lack of maturity, his heart is in the right place and he does what is right every time (though the principal's car gets destroyed several times in the process) It has a great storyline, lots of action, a little romance (with a woman his age), and tons of humor. Trust me, you'll love it!

i chose this 5 star rating, because these series are hilarious lol. it's about this young guy that wants to be a teacher, and teach people in there class rooms. he is always in love with girls. i recommend this series to anyone that loves japanese animated movies. i like these series, because i think it's pretty cool. i have all of series now.

I first caught this series on Internet TV in Japanese Sub. I loved it so bought the box set. The production quality of the set is good, though the extras are hit and miss - The outtakes (disk 5) are funny. BUT, the dub is Awful, worth maybe 3 stars. I've heard these actors in other series, where they are ok, but they don't suit GTO, with Onisuka being particularly bad in the dub. Buy this and ignore the Dub, just watch the Sub. I'll be buying the next Box set on release.

it was what i wanted but it was the japnese voice with english subtiles i didnt need that. the quilty was poor let alone the the captions for the anime was cut off so you couldnt read it. i talk to the people and they were nice i guess they didnt know how to sell it

Very good.

First love!

I only started watching GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) about a month ago, and now I'm hooked. You see the problem with GTO is that it's too addicting. I've already watched volumes 1-3, skipped 4 and then bought and watched 5-7; yep, only 4 volumes left to go. I'm like an anime zombitaku (that's zombie and otaku jumbled together; yeah I know waaay too much free time); "must . . . watch . . . G . . . T . . . O . . ." Anyways, GTO is an excellent anime series with something to offer anyone who is willing to watch. And trust me you're gonna need plenty of time to watch, because once you do you won't be able to stop. It's like a drug-induced joy ride complete with karate-do, bikes, cars, races, girls in uniforms, comedy, plot and a whole lotta teacher-haters. Okay, about that plot. Onizuka (the Great Teacher guy) was once a biker gang big shot. Now he's on a mission to become the best teacher in all of Japan. But there's one thing stopping him; the students in his middle school class. Throughout the series Onizuka teaches and learns from his students. Helping the kids to work out their problems. Each one bringing him one step closer to his goal. Released by TOKYOPOP this is definitely a must-own series for any anime fan. Trust me you're gonna end up needing another pleasure inducing volume of GTO after the end of every DVD. So be prepared to spend, spend and spend some more. Be ready to join the GTO-junkie movement, heh, heh, heh . . . must . . . watch . . . G . . . T . . . O . . .

I love this show. But it makes me wonder about Japan youth. Are they seriously that messed up? Anyway this is a must have for any anime freak. It has comedy, action, love, and one memorable lead character. Onizuka is the man of all anime leading men. I mean seriously. This story is about one man's journey to being the greatest teacher in the world. I think he does a damned fine job. How he has to deal with the youth of Japan and make them into respectable members of society. His methods may be a little extreme but that's what makes him the greatest teacher ever. This show will make you laugh from beginning to the end, and almost every thing Onizuka says is not only the truth but is intellegent. Which is kind of odd when you first meet his character. All and all this is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Trust me you'll enjoy this. Peace

Great condition packaging no scuffs on the discs very happy with what I got.
