Behold! Shonan Junai Gumi OVA (aka Young GTO) for your delinquent entertainment!
Well, this one was a tough decision. There are no good quality sources available for the audio/video and the VHS tapes are obscure as all hell so, I had to use what’s available and make the best of it. The raws are far from ideal but they get the job done for now, and since the only english translated version was hardsubbed, this one aims to replace it. Also, if a better source pops up, I’ll promptly do a version 2.
As always every single line of dialogue, signs (one or another minor thing might be missing, my bad). Episodes 1 to 4 were done using the PDSG/Sentosha fansub that was good for most part, with some tweaks done to the overall script. Episode 5 was a real pain in the butt… The translation by HaRDy was a hot mess with a lot of sentences that didn’t made any sense whatsoever so I had to do pretty much all of the lines from scratch, using what I could salvage and heavily using the original translated manga as reference. So taking all that in consideration, the translation was the best I could do with my limited skills and common sense. As always, errors might still be present, even after I proofread everything twice. The timing was pretty easy considering all else.
Everything has been done for this one. It just needs a better source, that’s all! If anyone wants to be kind enough (again!) and add this release to AniDB, please do so. Place it under the group peachflavored.

Obaku - For sharing the raws.
PDSG/Sentosha - For taking their time in subbing this.
Some russian anon - Once again for timed scripts that were almost perfect.
I’ll be seeding this for as long as I feel it’s necessary so if anyone wants to help, it’s much welcome!
And that’s all for now, good sirs!

I never knew GTO had a prequel.

@wt89 Now you know. :D But the manga is way better and bigger than these episodes.

This totally needs a new rip in x264.
I can buy OVA 1, 3 and 4 but I can’t get the other ones, hell I’d even go as far as making a new translation for the whole thing if I could get the 5 OVAs but if I can’t …then I won’t even bother at all.
Anyways, great job on the scripts! you’ve done good for this old anime.

Watched Great Teacher Onizuka problaly 10 years+ ago.
And today I found this… Shonan Junai Gumi.
That’s pretty awesome. I hope they will remake this Anime.
And this time make it Seinen, so they don’t have to censor stuff.
But time will tell. Thanks for the upload though

Thank you

Watched this finally, really good release considering the source available.
It’s a pity a lot of delinquent anime seems to have the same problem with the quality of the sources available, but then again, I suposse it happens to most less-known gems from the 80s-90s…We should be thankful we can enjoy all these rare OVAs so easily
Thanks!!
