Description:
Kumiko Yamaguchi is the heir of the Oedo Yakuza family, but it's her dream to teach the youth of Japan. She puts aside her yakuza cunning and takes up the role of a normal air headed graduate, landing a high-school teaching job. Now Kumiko is determined to understand the teen-age mind, teach higher math and maybe carry on a little romance. Of course, there’s always the danger of her slavishly loyal army of brutal hit men murdering the students who misbehave.

Rating:  - Touching, funny and a tad weird...
Kumiko Yamaguchi is a teacher. It has been her dream, her hope, her love, to one day teach. Now she has a chance to teach the youth of Japan - well the group of teenage monsters who are her students - math. the only problem is she is the heiress to the Oedo Yakuza family and if anybody finds out she may lose her job. How can she balance the two jobs, one being a teacher and the other being the leader of the mob?
Hitmen, school tests and very funny outtakes! I suggest it, new or used, for ... Read More

I love the fact that the over-the-top comedy in this series did not bring down the quality of the actual story. I hate the fact that it was so short and rushed when compared to the manga. Overall, I was a great buy. I'm not disappointed in the least.
Fans of slap stick humor and semi-crude yet tasteful jokes and/or comments will really enjoy this series.
Rating: - Plan on watching it all in one go!

Rating: - combo is great
I started watching Gokusen late at night but was never able to see it in sequence and in it's entirety. Not only is it cheaper to buy the 3 pack but the out-takes r fab. 2 thumbs up!!!
Rating: - Definitely not for kids!
Anime fans know as a fact that most Japanese cartoons are not meant for children, and Gokusen is one of them.
Raised as a Yakuza (the Japanese version of the Mafia), Kumiko Yamaguchi's dream of being a teacher turned out to be not that sweet when she finds out she'll be in charge of a class of bullies! But that doesn't stop her from teaching these kids a lesson or two, and her gangster roots are put into good use (whatever way you put it).
The tone of the anime version is very ... Read More
