[Manga] Doesn't anyone like GTO.

I haven't read the manga but the anime is one of my top favorite animes of all time at least. As far as i heard that the anime is different than the manga, I enjoyed all the comedy and the serious past the students have. Onizuka was the caring type even though he is the king of shonan. Every gang member fears him yet he gives a shit about school kids.


Tohru Fujisawa should make a third installment to GTO. Even though the art doesn't appeal to anyone, You gotta give him credit for actually pulling off a great school-comedy-drama based story into anime and manga. I still need to read Shonan Junai Gumi (the prequel) It always got me curious when i saw the first episode of GTO when they showed 2 scenes with Onizuka and Ryuji along with him and this other girl so im interested to know about it.


There's yet another prequel to shonan junai gumi but nothing too big. Its called Bad Company when Onizuka and Ryuji first meet.

How ya doing, buddy?

I heard alot of things about the manga as well. The thing with the anime is that it was rushed in the end. Tohru could've done alot with it. A continuation or a much longer final arc for it but in the end, the anime is left opened and possible to make another series.

@lzhouchen : I meant as in another anime series of GTO. after it . But if not. I really want Bad Company and Shonan Junai Gumi to be animated. I read and was very impressed with it.

edit : For those who aren't familiar with the prequels. Here is one from bad company. I think its only 1 volume and before Shonan Junai Gumi (If i remember SJG starts when Ryuji and Onizuka start their summer vacation working in a tuna boat or something ;p while bad company is when they first met.)



That girl looks just like the one from the first episode of GTO when Onizuka was talking to Nanako about how life isn't always the way you want it to be. You only catch a glimpse of it

Summary from ANN: Before Eikichi Onizuka became a legend, before Onibaku, before he became GTO, he was just a normal junior high school delinquent. Getting into fights with his seniors, trying to pick up girls and just hanging out with his friends. Bad Company is a compilation of many short stories, linked together with the characters of Eikichi, Ryuji and their school buds. Such stories involve the origins of Eikichi`s bike, which we see frequently in GTO, the first meeting with the Midnight Angel and many other.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok. Anime News Network has a description of Shonan Junai Gumi OVA.
No one touched it or licensed the damn thing. What the hell is up with that ? =/

Its 5 episodes. AND I WANT IT! o.o;

Looks pretty badass. Here is the link to other screens.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If anyone is interested in starting this series, I personally would recommend them to watch/read in this order:

1. GTO Live Action series
2. Live Action special
3. GTO Live Action movie
4. Anime
5. Manga.

This is my own personal preference, as you might get the gist of the issues with the live action, but the manga covers so much more, even more so than the anime.

*Stand alone meaning it doesn't require previous knowledge of the GTO story, and has its own beginning, plot, and conclusion.

Also, found some funny bloopers of the GTO Live Action.

For me it was like :

1. GTO Anime
2. Live action series
3. Live action special (still needs to finish off)
4 .Shonan Junai Gumi Anime/Manga (First US vol is out now)
5. GTO Manga (never read it but all US volumes are out.)


Im between 3 and 5 but Im sure I already understood what was and wasn't covered in the anime. I just want to see the anime version of SJG >.>.

Also, keep away from the movie of GTO Live action. Not too good. o.o;

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Let's revive the thread with the 1st episode of SJG.

Finished it off a few minutes ago. Looks freakin awesome. I didn't mind the animation (obviously). If you're a real fan then nothing should stop you from watching it. Sadly, it's a RAW version from SaiYAman. Hope to see someone sub the damn thing.

I was speaking idiomatically.
