What can I say? I love this series!
I'm sure the majority of you have already seen what's up in the Torrents section here. ::sigh:: only to Episode 3, but then they released a Special too. ^_^ Anyway, what do you guys think of this series? Do you prefer it over GTO?
When I had first heard of Gokusen, I just thought it was going to be a GTO clone. But I didn't care, I loved GTO so much. Anyway, it was a really funny series and a lot of fun to watch.
The Romance:
I know that in the anime series, it hinted at Sawada Shin falling in love with Yamaguchi Kumiko. Does it happen in the dorama? I think they would make a cute couple nonetheless. Although . .the Shinohara-san also looks good with Kumiko. ^_^

I'm not quallified to vote as I have not seen GTO and only the first three episodes of Gokusen. If I where to find Gokusen with EN subs I'd be all over it

Even though Asian TV Awards 2004, Best Animation went to "Gokusen"
Live Drama Gokusen is much more superior. Good script, good
actors/actress.
--Gokusen story---It goes beyond anime.
On the other hand, GTO anime shines and live drama GTO sucks..
Good script (Manga/Anime) ...Poor Script in adaptation...thus
shallow acting by actors.
---GTO stories...it's within the anime, but came out very short.
If you like GTO story, watch anime first!!

I've never seen the GTO or Gokusen anime, but I really liked both. I think Gokusen is much, much funnier, but GTO had really good stories. But then again, of Gokusen, I've only seen what's been translated.

i think gokusen is more anime-like. so theres more comedy in it i think. for example: the music, camera angles, and the sound effects!

so i like gokusen more. GTO is more rough, and deals with a lot of "real life" stuff.

Thats a hard one
GTO was extremely interesting to me but I havnt watched it in awhile.
Id have to agree with amrayu on Gokusen being more light hearted with the funny stuff thats thrown in. GTO had those moments as well but it carried a darker feel to me.
So its a toss up.......both kick ass!!!

This is somewhat off topic, but "Gokusen 2" is coming out in January 2005 with Nakama Yukie as lead again. ^_^
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone was doing tv-rips of this series? I would love to watch it!
Also there's supposed to be some other series with Matsushima Nanako/Oguri Shun and some other people in it. I would love to see that too. ^_^

Live-action Gokusen is frickin hilarious!!! I think it has improved upon what GTO did... the jokes and humor are a lot funnier... and Yankumi is really really cute... it is like a live-action anime (the short opening intro is kick ass and the ending is like something I would see in Naruto's endings)
but, I'll have to give GTO the edge here (even though i voted that i liked them equally...hhehehe)... just the chemistry between Onizuka and Fuyutski-sensei alone I think makes this series great... would there be the Gokusen if there wasnt a GTO?? ... and its also the first dorama that i watched =)

Hum.. that would be really hard to answer!
In both cases I saw the anime first and both stories and actores and humor and everything is really grate!!!!! But if I really had to choose between one of them it would be Gokusen for Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun

(ohh I gues realised that Oguri Shun plays in GTO too lol.. Jun isn't there though..)

It was more a question of who I think can kick the other's @ss to me. In the end, I believe Yankumi's yakuza background will be too overwhelming for Onichii's motorcycle punk background.
Gokusen wins out.

I voted for GTO cause I haven't seen Gosuken.............is it really good?
Dunno GTO is kinda like the third j-dorama I've seen since I began watching j dramas. I think I miss hte beginning, but I love the story anyways.

I haven't seen the live action but that's kind of what I'd think of it. I have seen one episode but was bored out of mind thinking how the main actor simply doesn't live up to the vivid cartoon character. I thought the anime was great.

GTO > GOKUSEN
this might be off topic
Would be bettter if GTO MEETS GOKUSEN
Trade ONizuka for Yankumi for one day lol and see what happens
Onizuka off course would join in with YANKUMI class mate no problem as his a rascal
and a YAKUZA himself
but Gokusen on the other hand won't be able to cope that well with the PRANKS the
class of ONIZUKA pulls
but she is a strong girl so she'll FIGHT ON !!!

Ionnu, if you pit Yankumi against Onizuka, I'd place my money on Yankumi. Why? She's the 4th generation boss of a yakuza, as opposed to Onizuka's relatively "clean" background. Granted, he's no wimp either, but they said he was what? part of a biker gang or something? Ehhh...

Well if you go by the manga Bad Company then he's pretty badass, he did take on Yakuza when he was in high school.

I like Gokusen a little better. But so far I think the first gokusen is better (although there is the super good looking Kame in the second one

), there is just so much unesessary violence in the second one so far.
There seems to be hints of Shin liking Yankumi at the end of Gokusen. Man, too bad Shin isn't in the second one.

Well... if you're going to go by mangas, he was a badass if sex does not preoccupy his mind... Onizuka in Shounan Ju'nai Gumi, when all his thought is on sex , is almost pathetically helpless when it comes to females. He is so desperate to lose his virginity that he loses his guard when the possibility of losing his virginity comes up - and I don't think he resolved that even after he became a teacher.
So... alls Yankumi has to do, if she's pitted against Onichii in a fight, is to act cute for a second, trick Onichii into thinking he's getting some, and while he's distracted , gut him with one of the samurai swords she can find in her house.

hhahahha...and what can i say? Yankumi's pretty hot~ she's even cute in her gym tracksuit...and we've all seen her in a kimono as well as other clothes....HOT describes her definitely.
i can imagine Onizuka being defenseless and losing his guard while Yankumi kicks his arse~

GTO ALL THE WAY

!
Both GTO and Gokusen are my fav dramas, they made me laugh like a loony

. However I prefer GTO just a bit more.
I guess its because I'd love to....no.....would die to have Onizuka as my teacher.

i think if you like one, you are goingto end up likeing the other too. the tough choice is would you rather watch a hot older teacher, or a hot class full of younger men? ahh, decisions....
in the end i say gokusen, because matsujun.

I don't know about that. In the GTO manga a pretty girl did offer herself to him but he refused.

I don't know which girl you are refering to. but if memory serves me, I think maybe you are refering to
the girl at the beginning for who Onichii breaks down the wall and in that case, I remember he peeked and also kept the girl's panties. Either way, I'm inclined to believe Onichii is a horn dog and that his tendency to look at females lustfully will be his Achilles heel ( as is mine, if we're being honest.

I could not manage to finish GTO. So just watched ep 1-5, last ep and the movie. Somehow, I just couldn't identify with the Great Teacher himself. But Gokusen was great, I laughed and cried in every eps.

Hey, I've been looking for this thread! hehe
I just finished Gokusen yesterday.
Watching the last two episodes changed my vote to "I enjoyed both equally."(used to be leaning towards GTO)
I felt that the climax on ep12 was a bit staged and expected--the dramatic speeches and all...
It got tiring for a couple of episodes but the humor is always there.
Gotta love episode 11
GTO...what was it's ending again? gosh, it's been a year ago...

I watched all of Gokusen and loved it. The show was funny from the start. However having watched the first few ep of GTO, I'm not that impressed and losing interest. I hope it gets better later on.

I enjoyed both series evenly. Can't wait for a season 3 of Gokusen, if there is one.
I don't know, does Onizuka go after the flat chested girls? I've never seen him distracted by women who weren't "desirable". It always seems like Yankumi never has anyone lusting after her, except for the henchmen! Poor Tetsu....

I watched GTO before watching Gokusen. While watching Gokusen....To me...they tried to make it like GTO except with a female teacher. I liked Gokusen, Nakama Yukie was awesome playing the role of Yankumi, but I still like GTO a lot more then Gokusen.
A question to those who have seen Gokusen 2. Is it worth watching??? I know most of the cast changed. Did they do a good job???

I may be a bit biased because I adore Yukie Nakama and Jun Matsumoto but I thought that Gokusen was the better of the two. I like funny series' and GTO is a little bit too serious for me sometimes.

Considering the dramas, I enjoyed Gokusen more because the drama was far more superior (in my opinon) than GTO's LA. GTO has a good manga and anime, but Gokusen definately has a better drama.

Gokusen was more light-hearted and GTO was more serious. Gokusen has lots of really corny scenes, Gokusen 2 is pretty much a rehashed Gokusen 1 but with prettyboys acting tough.
i enjoyed both, but leaning towards GTO.

Revive an old thread here. The thing is, honor means a lot to both characters, i don't think Yankumi would stoop to trickery. And even if Onizuka got gutted, he'd just spend some time in the hospital & he'd be back. I'm going more on the live-action universe though.
Anyway, I liked both series' but give GTO the edge, i liked the interaction between Onizuka & Fuyutsuki characaters.

I say, GTO is definitely more enjoyable to me. Both are great, actually, but GTO has more value in it and it deals with more serious issues that arise in highschool. In Gokusen, though the storyline is pretty interesting, I simply think it's a show to introduce pretty boys to get high ratings. Plus, Onizuka is a lot cooler than Yankumi, or at least, he doesn't preach in almost every episode, lol.
Watching:
JIN, Ohitorisama, Liar Game 2

Personally, I think GTO is a lot better. I mean, it seemed like Gokusen was trying too much to be just like GTO. Even the first episode was so similiar to GTO, I felt like I was watching GTO with a female teacher instead!
While I like Nakama Yukie, I just think GTO is more enjoyable than Gokusen. Gokusen was more "goofy" than GTO. Onizuka is a good role model, and he is my hero! I'd really want a teacher like him. I'd get all starry eyed *__* when he'd give his speeches, but I didn't really get that way with Gokusen. Gokusen seemed more goofy and comedy like to me, and when she tried to be serious, it seemed too cheesey and unrealistic to me.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed Gokusen, but I still think GTO blows it out of the water.

man.. thats not even a question GTO hella rocked Gokusen... think bout it... Gokusen was sooooo like predictable.. not to mention it was hardly even that funny like GTO common... think bout it... Onizuka was like a Yakuza who was funny and let people do what they wanted.. .. it shouldnt even be a competition

I stand by the belief that both were equally good and its a tough decision to pick just one. I saw GTO first. When I watched Gokusen the first thing I said was, "Oh hey. Its a female GTO." But when you think back on both of them, they are really in two seperate genres. Gokusen is more lighthearted and funny, whereas GTO got very deep and serious.
For me both of them were good on the eye candy... I am especially happy that Oguri Shun was in both of them...

Gokusen2 didn't appeal to me so I didn't get past the third episode. It wasn't funny anymore and I was mad that MatsuJun was gone and all the progress of the first season seemed to have gone out the window.
So it really all depends on what kind of show you want to watch. Super serious and motivating, or slightly serious and major funny. They are both good, and that's that!

Im downloading Gokusen now.. After I watch it, I'll be able to judge which is better..
Btw, off topic, are my eyes playing tricks on me or is episode 8 really missing? (Gokusen season 1 for SARS DVD version)
Thanks!

If you want a female GTO, there's the series Naomi also. One of these days I'll sub it. Not bad show. Fujiwara Noriko is the lead as the unconventional teacher.

Hmm..I dunno. I got it from animesuki.com awhile ago, so I don't know where else you can look for it now. Maybe ask for it in the seed request thread? ^^0

I haven't finished the first Gokusen, but i'm about done with Gokusen 2, and that series is awesome.
GTO, I own the anime series, watched all the live action including special and movie.
I can honestly say i like both equally and voted accordingly

i thought gokusen was funnier, and i really liked the cast.
but gto was still very well done. it's one of those dramas that can withstand the test of time.
(i also liked how both dramas had Oguri Shun)
all in all, i liked both equally.
I think the best most super teacher drama would be gokusen's storyline with onizuka as the teacher.
