Gokusen

Gokusen is really a nice drama I love it but the most loved season is 1 because in this sawada shin is there.kuma is also loved character in this series if shin was there in two more seasons than they will also my favourite but I love season 1.yamaguchi sensei is a independent woman she is really very nice I love her character too. It is based on a story of school teacher yankumi who is 4 generation boss of yakuza but she wants to become a school teacher and she became she was teacher of 3-D this class students were very naughty but she handles them. Her principal knows that she is boss of yakuza so he appointed her to teach 3-D class.

This is a teacher-student relationship between Kumiko "Yankumi" Yamaguchi (Yukie Nakama) and Shin Sawada (Jun Matsumoto). Yankumi was the homeroom teacher of a class of delinquents in the Shirokin Gakuin, a school exclusively for boys. Yankumi has a secret. She was hiding her true identity from her students and co-teachers. She is the heiress to the Oedo Yakuza clan. But Shin Sawada, a very handsome and intelligent guy, suspected that she was no ordinary teacher. So since the first day of the school, he became interested to her. Find out if there could be a love affair between them. Because Yankumi had a crush on someone else. Then find if Shin Sawada will fight for their feelings at the end. Hope you like the story, because it's excellent for me!!!

The plot of the story is same with Gokusen (1st), however the love story here is different because Yankumi liked a teacher from other school and there was none of the story for Shin (a student from gokusen who liked her and also the police officer who also liked her in gokusen). Still I like gokusen 2 better than gokusen. The bound between the students were stronger and they did respect Yankumi more than the students in gokusen 1 but I cannot say that it's different story because it is not.

In gokusen 2 we find out that Sawatari (head teacher from gokusen 1) also appeared and became much better head teacher than in gokusen, also appearance of Kuma (yankumi's student from gokusen) whom already run his father's ramen shop.

I like this drama compare to gokusen because in Gokusen Shin (one of Yankumi's student) liked her. Thank goodness it doesn't like the anime where Yankumi and Shin (from what i've heard) ended-up together. Just make the story that a teacher is willing to help her students without love story between student-teacher is enough.

Just watch this drama even though gokusen is more interesting.

When my sister brought this home, I was like "Another Anime?". But it was live action. One which I never looked or watched before. I really enjoyed this one though, mainly because it was different from other stories. I'm not a very big Anime fan, but this was an exception. I cried in some parts, the actors were a little goofy at times, and it really shows a different side in people.

I just ordered my copy and watched it. I don't like to watch movies again, but there are a few that I wouldn't mind re-watching. Gokusen is one of them. I also ordered the second set which I can't wait to watch, but I'm waiting to watch and finish the Special episode.

I would totally recommend this to anyone who's looking for a break from chick flicks and/or love stories!

This is a delightful series, made even better for this American viewer by the quality subtitling and background explanations provided by the dedicated SARS fan-sub team.

The writing is clever & heart-warming, without plunging into the maudlin. The cast developed their characterizations over the course of the series in ways that are understandable, if sometimes unpredictable (as one would expect from both teenagers and adults on the learning curve.)

The whole package will be especially rewarding if the viewer is familiar with "ninkyo Yakuza" movies, such as the vintage ones starring Koji Tsuruta and Ken Takakura, because, at the core, "Gokusen" is about finding your own family and becoming a faithful and supportive friend to all the members.
