Ending In Season 1- Sad and Happy Ending
(Spoiler Warning)
Ending In Season 1- Miyabi goes to take revenge on a teacher, who was in a relation with her friend Mizuki (who have done sucid*) Miyabi takes out a knife and rush towards the teacher, they starts to scuffle, and then the knife was suddenly stabbed to the teacher. She ran away, later Onizuka takes the blame that he stabbed the teacher and gets arrested. The teacher who was stabbed survived and tells the truth to the police. Onizuka was released but he left the school. Later on when he understands that he can't live without teaching, so he starts to teach his gang members.
Ending (In Manga) - Finished
(Onizuka miraculously survives his ordeal, but became unable to teach for a while. In the end of the manga, Fuyutsuki celebrated Onizuka's recovery at school along with his students, reflecting on how Onizuka showed her how great it is to be a teacher. Onizuka doesn't ends up with anyone.)
Ending (From My Perspective) - The ending was not satisfying, although manga has different ending he never left the school. I think the studio wanted to end the anime completely. I would have done that Onizuka ends up with Fuyutsuki, this would have been the best ending.
It Has Covered Chapter 1-106 (Vol-13)
English Dub - Available
Overall My Review - I will consider this anime between good and average. It has good comedy, naughty stuffs and some crazy things. This anime tells us that a good teacher can entirely change students, also if you make your studying fun then studying gets interesting. I also loved the way Onizuka solved the students problem and changed them entirely, the students who hated him in the beginning now they likes him. Now their relation is not limited to student teacher, they have become friends. This anime is a out and out comedy anime but it also has other elements. You can give it a try.
Need To Watch ? - Of course (Recommended)
