I had heard about Great Teacher Onizuka for many years, and have loved the opening before I even watched the show. However, this anime quickly falls into the trappings of other overrated old anime.

The jokes are incredibly crude and repetitive, and almost all revolve around this grown man leching at high school girls. I was genuinely disgusted and very disappointed. Often times older anime fans ignore these issues but it is genuinely very disgusting to see this old man who we are supposed to root for sexually harass and abuse high school girls he is supposed to care for. I’m sure he gets redeemed ... over the course of the story but the way in which the show portrays his actions as comedic and sly was revolting.
