So most of the anime mentioned but adding another
GTO- AKA Great Teacher Onizuka: Because as far as slice of life goes, Onizuka has more heart than nigh on any other teacher ever shown in an anime. While I haven't seen the end of the anime, in the manga the plot usually devolves into a standard mesh of things (new troubled kid -> Onizuke teaches them a life lesson hilariously and often in ways that mean he comes close to losing his job -> he nearly loses his job -> He sustains grievous injuries comically-> right at the end those injuries stop being funny) every single storyline added something new and awesome.
Also revolves around his efforts to lose his virginity at 22, something which in the way more standard shounen Junai Shonan Gumi he completely failed at while his best friends manage it with alarming skill. Hard to pinpoint best moments but Suplexing a Head-teacher at a job interview because he called some students scum, challenging a gang of disgraced expelled students threatening teachers in stocks to arm-wrestle for his freedom and insane shit like driving his bike off a bridge and nearly killing himself (and the schoolgirl on the back) to teach her a lesson in not being defined by her mortality.
That and it's just goddamn cool how this guy who's such a loser and kind of a sleaze also has so much goddamn self restraint that when a hot school-girl finally starts trying to seduce him for real he bashes his head against a wall until he knocks himself out to stop himself doing something he'd regret.
/rant <- see, I can manage a paragraph to describe a show I like, let's see more of this
