GTO

Japanese animation is the forfront of the craft. American animation has taken it to new levels. Being an artist I guess, it's one of the reasons I like the craft so much. I used to draw charcters and a comic strip during my high school years. GTO stands for Great Teacher Onizuka. Onizuka is a young adult male student teacher who decided to teach so that he could be around young girls. That story line sounds familiar. LOL. We learn that Onizuka used to be a member of a gang and does have some insecurities when he is around women. Of course the series is translated so it's interesting how the story comes about and the characters don't all appear to be ethnic Asians. Great music and set design add to the story. It's part of a series, I'll be watching the first four episodes. The Legend Begins introduces us to Onizuka and he has to deal with some bullies and being set up by a beautiful student in an uncompromising position. Next episode, Enter Uchiyamada, Onizuka meets his nemesis. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind. Check back often.
