About Shonan Junai Gumi!

Here is what Shonan Junai Gumi! is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and school anime by J.C.Staff, Life Work (1994). In short: Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma are members of infamous biker duo, the Oni Baku. When not out riding around, they can be found in school, attempting to pick up young women.

Further in, this is the story of the young Onizuka, who would later become the greatest teacher in Japan, and his partner Ryuji in their quest to lose their virginity and reach maturity. They are widely feared bosozoku, and are known for their tenacity and viciousness in a confront. However, this lifestyle does not exactly endear them to the opposite gender, so they decide to change their ways.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
