I found this remake to have been very pathetic and pointless because really they crammed so many events and took out many relationships and character traits from the manga.

In fact many of the characters were reduced to utterly one dimensional or even cameos to the manga/anime. Complexity of a lot of the characters was also removed. In fact almost all of the class and at least half the adult characters came across to me as pretty robotic!

There was not plainly not much effort at telling a story and much of the wit and charm of the manga/anime was taken away quite a lot. In terms of character personalities I barely recognized anyone in fact most of them were a GTO character in NAME only most notably Azusa, Urumi, Miyabi, Tomoko, Misuzu Daimon, Uchiyamiyada, Ai Tokiwa, Mayu Wakui and many others I don't care to mention

In fact the manga stays relevant because of the themes of redemption, corruption, abuse of power, being stuck in the past and/or ones ways and various others I don't think this made it more modern or relevant at all. In fact the manga stays relevant simply because of the themes of the manga.

Also the Onizuka in this is portrayed with almost none of the humanity of the Onizuka of the manga.

I thought this was a very lazy effort while I did not care much for the original live action this has softened my attitude to it because Takashi Sorimachi's Onizuka and other characters at least had better personality to them and at least they made more effort at character development and storyline.

All in all a dreadful, bland and pointless remake with wooden acting which the makes plainly didn't put any real effort into and from his blogs Fujisawa plainly wasn't terribly enthusiastic or genuinely impressed even though his wife appeared in it.
