1 pointIt's odd to be watching the Japanese DAC stream and understand just enough Japanese to realize that the commentator is wondering why the fuck foreigners who don't understand Japanese are even watching the stream, asking out loud if they're "otaku".

1 pointI've been spending the past four days at home with my parents and in this time I've started watching the anime "Great Teacher Onizuka" (commonly abbreviated as "GTO") and I think this is an anime that deserves to be talked about. In the past I've lamented the overflow of anime that centers around school life, mainly high school. I've also complained about how anime today features excessive amount of truly unnecessary "fanservice" on many occasions of characters who are clearly being portrayed as underaged. Unfortunately this kind of thing has become the rule rather than the exception with most modern anime, which is made apparent by the popularity of shows such as "No Game No Life" and "Sword Art Online" (Among others). This is however a discussion for a different day. The point I am trying to make, is that even though these two things are hot topics for me when it comes to this medium of entertainment, Great Teacher Onizuka manages to incorporate both of them and still be positively intriguing to watch. So let's start from the beginning. GTO is an anime which originally aired on Japanese television 1999. It has since received an English dub and enjoyed airspace on western TV as well. It has even inspired a real life TV-drama adaptation. All in all GTO has done very well for itself, despite the fact that it ranks as one of the most vulgar anime I've ever seen. What's it about then? GTO is a story about none other than the man himself: Eikichi Onizuka, a Japanese delinquent and gang member of caliber. Or at least he used to be. Once renowned in the Tokyo prefecture as one of the toughest and meanest sons of bitches around town, Onizuka is now a reformed man and is looking to make his debut into the world of honest and hardworking people, by becoming a teacher. That is what he likes to tell people anyway. The truth is that he became a teacher mainly because of the (assumed) long holidays and of course his dream of marrying a high school girl in his forties. Not to mention working a job where one is surrounded by young, voluptuous and unspoiled young women. As it would turn out, Onizuka-sensei's dreams are very much just that, dreams. In the real world, being a teacher isn't as simple as it might sound and his troubled youth background makes it hard for him to be considered for any sort of teaching position. After a rough beginning, a fierce display of character and an incredible stroke of luck, Onizuka finds himself teaching at the "Holy Forest" Private School. Unfortunately for him, he's been assigned as the homeroom teacher for a middle-school class, rather than a high-school one and even more unfortunate is the fact that this class is made up of the most evil and devious kids in the entirety of Japan. Sounds like the beginning of a typical rom-com movie, right? One where the young hot-shot teacher manages to turn the notorious delinquent class into a bunch of straight A students through hard work and unconventional methods which earns him the ire of the rest of the teacher faculty but eventually it all ends well. Wrong. From the very beginning of the anime, GTO delves into some seriously heavy themes of emotional trauma which plague Japanese students in real life. Cold family environments, extreme bullying, honor, anxiety verging on the point of suicide and a general lack of understanding from the established (and aging) teacher faculty. Not to mention blackmail and abuse coming from the students, trying to twist the system and frame Onizuka in an attempt to get him removed from the school. Don't misunderstand now, the typical rom-com themes are certainly there, but they're joined by themes much more mature and real than you usually see in these kind of stories and I think that is a key point which makes GTO a truly excellent anime. I know I've painted this show in a pretty serious light just now, but it's also a lot of fun. Eikichi Onizuka is, for the lack of a better word, a retard. Once in a while he will man up and do the right thing, proving to people around him, students and teachers alike, that he is a genuine and respectable human being, only for it to immediately be juxtaposed with him doing the dumbest shit you could ever imagine. He's the loveable fool with a violent background. If things get serious he is not above getting into a fistfight and it's very obvious that he himself still has a lot of growing up to do. Not to mention the fact that he sometimes exerts what most people would call "Cruel and unusual" punishments upon his students. They deserve it though, many of these kids are rotten to the core and as a viewer I found myself smiling in satisfaction when Onizuka finally puts them in their place. GTO also has a lot of erotic themes in it. Onizuka himself is a hopeless pervert and the anime doesn't shy away from some rather questionable frames of middle-schoolers in their bloomers or miniskirts. It's not as insulting as many other anime (who will shove puffy vulvas in your face without remorse *cough cough* NGNL), but it is definitely there. It feels a bit more at home in GTO, considering the character that is Onizuka, but it still isn't something I can give the anime praise for and it is something that might turn a few people off. Then again, with the amount of vulgarity in the show in general, if you can't handle some "ecchi" themes here and there, you might as well not ever watch GTO.

Left the game running for 20 minutes, came back to find 2 sinks, 3 pcs, the stereo and later the tv broken. Goddamnit guys. After hours of leaving the game at speed 3, the household had enough money to make serious improvements. The pink room is Puff's, of course. -

This last hour was quite busy for the guys. Me, Moose and Corv enjoying the stereo. Rammite in the background breaks the PC from too much trolling. Moose tries to fry an egg. Oven and sink destroyed, Moose almost died. No fucks given. -
