Is it is possible to lead the yakuza and be a high school teacher at the same time? Kuniko has always dreamed of being a teacher, but as the heir of the Oedo Group it isn't easy to do. Her task is made even more difficult because her school would fire her if they found out about her criminal activities.She has to pretend to be an ordinary teacher while fighting off rival yakuza, winning the respect of delinquent students and keeping her family business away from the school. This becomes even harder when her smartest and most curious student begins to find her very... "interesting".
With a history of leading a motorcycle gang and getting bad grades in school, why would 22 year old Onizuka ever want to become a teacher? Is it to educate young minds or spread the joy of education? Sure, if it involves being able to look up high school girls' skirts! Watch as this would-be educator uses his own life lessons and unconstituted methods as a means to control a delinquent class of students -- students who certainly aren't as happy to have him as a teacher as he is happy to be teaching...
How can I not recommend GTO if you liked Gokusen, or Gokusen if you liked GTO? In both you will find teachers with violent criminal pasts who really want look out for his/her students' best. The humor is similar, the animation style is similar and the background is similar. And still they are not so alike that it is boring or pointless to watch them both. I am convinced that if you liked one you will like the other.
There aren't many delinquent comedies out there, it seems, so you really have to take what you can get. While Gokusen can't match GTO's quality, it does share a similar feel.
Onizuka and Kumiko, both series' main characters, are similar character archetypes. Both have unique pasts that can't be ordained from the get go, which is also what makes them so interesting. These characters are what really holds these two series together. You'll watch because you'll want to see what will happens to them next, and by the end, you'll most likely want more.
Definitely check out one if you like the other.
In GTO, a former gang member tries to become a proper teacher in order to achieve his dreams, but his students are all delinquents who believe in no one but themselves. He tries to gain their trust, and also tries to prove to other teachers that what they think of as trash can be turned into gold.
Consequently, in Gokusen, an heir to a group of yakuza dreams of becoming a teacher, and she has a class filled with the same types of delinquents. She too tries to gain their trust, and hopes to turn them into proper students.
If you liked one, you'd like the other.
Whether it's being a delinquent or the heir to a yakuza family, it doesn't stop Eikichi or Kuniko from wanting to realise their dreams. Becoming teachers! I have always thought of these shows going hand in hand. When students get out of hand, so do they.
Both GTO and Gokusen feature teachers that use unconventional methods to show their students that they care. With both the laughs will abound and the amount of passion these teachers exude will fill your heart. If you watch one of these great shows I strongly recommend the other.
If you liked Gokusen, or the other way around, you will like the other. Both teachers have to take care of a class for delinquents, and both of the teachers are connected to gang, yakuza, or mafia. Both teachers are willing to risk it all for their students, be it their lives, jobs or otherwise. one of the big differences is just the gender of the teacher. But either way they are both great matches for each other!
If you liked Gokusen you'l like GTO and vice versa. Both of these anime's revolve around a bad ass that decides to become a teacher, bringing in some 'personal' experience from the 'street' in GTO and the 'mafia' in Gokusen. The teaching methods that they use in both anime's are unconventional and brutal, but get the job done everytime :D
GTO certainly goes into more depth with its secondary characters (partly because it has 43 episodes to do so, and not 13 XD like Gokusen), but if you loved one, there is 0% chance of you not loving the other.
GTO and Gokusen are both similar in plot--since it's been highlighted so often, I'll talk about how they both teach a good lesson. Watching both series' really gives you a sense of what (though greatly exaggerated) life of a teacher is like and how tough it can be. Both series' are quite hilarious (Especially GTO) and both have a vice principal who's always out to get the main character fired. My advice is to watch Gokusen first since it's much shorter, then go for GTO--which is a moving anime sometimes.
Both shows are about a person who always desired to be a teacher. When they do get the opportunity, they get the responsibility to teach a class of delinquents.
One thing both of these series deals with is a teacher with a less than ideal background (Onizuka being a former gang member and Kumiko being the heir to a yakuza group) teaching a class of delinquents. It goes deeper than that, with them never giving up on their class even if many others have. It's quite charming in it's own way, and that's where half of the entertainment lies.
The other half lies in the comedy; most of the time centering around the teacher and their students, even though GTO makes a few exceptions. Overall, GTO is the better of the two, but you can't go wrong with Gokusen.
If you liked Gokusen you'll love GTO because Gokusen is cheap rip off of GTO. Very similiar but GTO has 100 times better character development and longer plot line.
Both GTO and Gokusen are about an unusual teacher, who tries to gain trust of his\hers students, and help those students overcome their various problems. Protagonists in both of those anime have to face similar obstacles, but they tend to solve them differently. Because of that fans of one of those two anime might find the other one interesting.
P.S. Both of those anime, have a superior manga versions (though GTO manga is a bit strong on ecchi).
Hibiki is unemployed, unmotivated, and out of luck. But it seems his luck just might change: a nearby school is looking for qualified instructors, but there's a catch.. females only! With rent looming around the corner and the landlord threatening to cook the dog if you don't pay up, what's a guy to do? Become a woman, of course. Watch Hibiki as he blunders his way through embarassing situations, under the close scrutiny of the headmaster's gaze and his female students' admiration.
I My Me! Strawberry Eggs and Gokusen share a kinship on many levels, of course the most obvious being that the main protagonist in each is an aspiring teacher who has something to hide. From there the plots diverge quite a bit, but both make great use of the threat of being caught out in the great lie that makes it possible for the protagonist to continue on with their dream. With a similar sense of humor, both of these series are capable of creating a laugh as well as a moment of heartwarming satisfaction.
If you liked Gokusen, or the other way around, you will like the other. Both have teachers, that will do anything for their students. They both get into Sensei/student relationships (not much romantic, as to like getting to know each one.) Both of the teachers have something very important to hide, and if they get caught it will hinder/destroy their teaching career. They both have tons of comedy, and take place in a school setting.
Teaching, Mako thought, would be a walk in the park. With no overtime and long winter and summer vacations, she’d be able to easily save money for the day that she could retire – or so she thought. For Mako has been assigned to the worst of the worst, class 2-D of Ushi High, a group comprised solely of delinquents! In addition to having to tame these unruly boys Mako finds herself with another task as well – to become the new coach for the rugby team, at her principal’s request. Can Mako convince her boys to fight on the playfield instead of brawling in the streets?
Both of these animes are teacher relevant. They both deal with delinquent students. While both Gokusen and Madonna are female teachers, Madonna is only Ova. Gokusen is a very good anime and highly recommended is you like Madonna. You might like Madonna if you like Gokusen, its only 2eps so it can’t hurt to watch.
Both animes are about a teacher who receive the worst class in school. Both of them must try to teach the boys how to get back on the right path and stop fighting and getting intro trouble all the time.
At Cromartie High, it’s tough being a delinquent -- a fact that do-gooder Takashi Kamiyama intimately understands. When he’s not engaging in contests of strength and rival gang wars, Kamiyama can also be found submitting punny jokes and planning his own rise to fame within the delinquents’ ranks, and that’s just the beginning! With friends like robotic Mechazawa, a giant gorilla, a hairy man from the 80s named Freddie and a clan of delinquents with mohawks that flow in the wind, how can anyone not enjoy high school?
These shows are all about the trials and tribulations of delinquent students. So if you like shows that show high school boys trying to prove their manliness, especially in unconvincing ways, both of these shows are for you.
At Ina Middle School, the boys’ Ping Pong Club is seen as more of a joking matter than something worth the school's budget. It doesn't help that they are constantly being outdone by the girls' team and their fiery-tempered coach, as well the fact that most of the boys on the team care more about their ding dongs than their ping pongs! In a desperate attempt to motivate the team, the boys' coach introduces a hot-bodied female manager, who might just bring a sexual tension to the team that could work to their advantage. But can these hopeless boys improve their game enough to emerge victorious at the upcoming tournament and win the prize she's willing to give?
