Started watching GTO and so far 3 episodes in it's about him lusting after 16 year olds?
There are some questionable parts of this anime as it's old and a lot of anime from that time is like that, however, it's one of those anime that got what being a hero is about. Only one that I can think of in recent times is My Hero Academia. If that doesn't sway you to watch it, I think Gigguk included Onizuka as one of the top 20 most badass characters in anime a few years ago.
It's a fun anime if the slapstick comedy resonates with you and don't take everything seriously. If slapstick isn't your cup of tea, then no point forcing yourself to watch it.
Is there any reason FOTN isn't in there?
I'm not sure I'm familiar with that one.
fist of the north star, a classic imo.
