Gokusen Eps1
It's Yumiko's first day as a teacher in Shirokin Gakuin. With her is Fujiyama-sensei, another newly-hired female teacher.It's basically the intro of characters. There's Kyoto-sensei (head teacher)who was upset because the principal hired female teachers in an exclusive boys school full of delinquents. He told them to wear tracksuits in school so that they can easily run when there's a fight or something. There's Uchi, one of the students who had a cam and stationed himslef on the floor near the door of the classroom to take a pic of the teacher's underwear. Kuma went in front of the classroom and planned to scare Kumiko. Kumiko wasn't frightened at all, but she pretended that she was. The whole class laughed and thought that she was very slow and weird. They threw papers on her, and even called her "fool," "bitch," and others. One guy went inside the classroom and told Kuma to stop. Kuma followed at once and this amazed Kumiko. This guy was Shin Sawada, the class leader. He was red-haired so kakuii!! He is Shin Sawada. Then Kumiko started introducing herself to the class. When she was writing her name on the blackboard, (of course she was facing the blackboard) one student threw a pachinko ball at her. She was able to dodge it and catch the ball even she was not facing the class. Then the class was amazed. But, she pretended that she was just lucky to catch it, and then she was scared. Shin didn't fall for that act. He began to be suspicious. The guys in the class were disappointed when they learned that the short, pig-tailed girl, wearing a red tracksuit, was their homeroom teacher. They wanted Fujiyama to be their teacher.
It's a secret to the school that Kumiko went home to the Oedo house, (Oedo was a yakuza clan) and everyone called her "Ojou." They were all giving respect to her since she was the successor to the Oedo house. When they asked her how her first day as a teacher was, she told them that her students were calling her "bitch" and were not following her. The men belonging to the Oedo house were mad, and one even wanted to kill the students for that. They were mad because Kumiko wasn't respected at all. Kumiko stopped them, telling them they were just high school kids, and also, if her real identity was known, she would lose her job.Then, Shinohara-sensei ( a lawyer who was a friend of the Oedo group) was talking to Kumiko and told her to do her best in her work. Shinohara was Kumiko's crush that's why, when he left, she was blushing, and was really happy. The next day, Kumiko went to school and then saw Kuma talking to some seniors. Kuma told his classmates about it. Kumiko found out that Kuma was about to be beaten by those seniors.The seniors, with Kudou,an expelled senior at the school were already beating up Kuma but Kumiko came, carrying volleyballs. Then the seniors also got her. Kuma was still conscious that's why, she attacked Kuma using her elbow, then he became unconscious. After that, she fought the seniors. Shin and the others came and saw Kuma unconscious, but he was safe. They found the seniors piled up and then beside them was Fuji, Kumiko's dog. Then, Kuma woke up and told them that Yamaguchi came while he and the seniors were fighting. Shin told them that Kumiko was the one who rescued Kuma and fought those seniors. The others still wont believe him. They said that maybe, it was Kumiko's dog who did it. Shin told them that there was no way a dog could pile up bodies like that. But still, the others didn't believe him. But this was also the episode when Kumiko saw her picture at the blackboard, with a voluptuous body. "Yankumi" was written on it. She asked the class what "Yankumi" was. They said that "Yankumi" was "Yamaguchi Kumiko" shortened. She liked the nickname they gave her. I think this happened before Kuma was beaten by the seniors.
I really thought that is a total rip-off of GTO but it's really not. It's actually funny and differs in some ways from GTO. The anime drawing is really good from start to finish. I also like the OP song but I do not like the ED song at all. Overall, just wanna start watching eps2!
