P.s. as someone already pointed out, the theme song is a cover of 'Otoko no Kunshou'- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frC94k58Hvo - Jiro Sato, who played Riko's father, makes an appearance in this music video.

First of all, just want to be clear that I like this drama, but not to the point calling it masterpiece. Very far from being the funniest drama I have ever seen too.
To me the attraction of this drama lies in the retrospective time-frame the event took place. That's to be expected from a 90's manga's remake! Just love the fashions, hairstyle, makeup and even some terms that no longer being used in drama like "Tsuppari". Credit to production team for making such a retro drama. It would have been a lot easier to make historical than a retro in my opinion, because it's easy to messed up with the technological fact i.e phone, computer, etc.
As far as the comedy drama concern, I have a mixed feeling. First, the "anime-like-episodic" approach is cool IMO. The slapstick comedy was overdone in some, but still acceptable and entertaining. What I'm not a fan of was that kind of moment when you already get the joke, but they keep over-explaining it (not necessarily lingual) until it feels not funny anymore. I noticed this same style was also in Mr. Nietzsche, which I lose interest after episode 1. However, the adlib and mumbling from Sato Jiro was excellent to be fair.
For acting, don't watch this drama if you're not a fan of Kaku Kento's MJ-like moves. Hahaha... Thanks to that, I feel Taiga was less overacting, if you know what I mean.
The other good thing about this drama is it's full of fighting scene and action. This alone made up for the so-so comedy and the hyperactive Kaku Kento.
All in all, good drama but definitely not that funny (at least to me). This is however highly recommended if you're:
1. Looking for inspiration of 80's fashion
2. Love high school drama
3. Want to see fight scene in every episode

There is a lot of anime logic in this series which I kinda love but also confuses the hell out of me because their bodies heal so quickly haha. Also as a warning, there is a lot of blood and fighting, so if you can't tolerate that, then I do not recommend, but if you like a good Japanese high school action, comedy drama, this is the one for you!
There is a movie coming out 17 July 2020, not sure when the English subbed version will be out, but I am very excited! There is not a lot of romance in the series but there is a few cute and funny moments between Itou and Kyoko, and some between Mitsuhashi and Riko. I hope to see in the new movie, a development of Mitsuhashi and Riko's relationship, like a kiss hopefully but we'll see.
I can't stress enough how good this drama was and it will definitely make you laugh!

COMEDY IS GOLDEN
I recommend this drama to anyone who likes weird comedy haha XDThis is a 2018 production, but the production doesn't feel cheap nor out dated.
The comedy are golden! haha XD
The story are fun and sometimes didn't go according to what I thought it will (in a good way)!
The acting is probably what surprise me the most! they will make those weird faces and it looks good with the comedy taste too!
The characters are well made and complements each other well. The different character and perks makes this drama so interesting with lots of flavor! All the character are nice, but, I love Satoshi and those crazy lovebirds the most ahaha XD
I notice that the action choreography are so well made and trained. They didn't seem to use stuntman too!
Of course the one that makes the choreo stand out is the camera! it was taken so nicely. and the effect are nice too, like when someone got punch. The timing of the sound are good too!
Do try to watch 2 episode of this first before deciding u wanna continue or not! cause its that good, I don't want you to miss it like I did hehe~

.
..yeah, a funny guy who is really strong..
.

The drama was really good
At first, I was hesitant to watch this because I was a really big fan of the anime, however, after watching the first few episodes I was shocked at how good and funny it was. The casting was very good since the actors really fit their roles. I only gave it a shot because Kanna was there, but I loved all of the cast members after watching it. I was also surprised to see the cameos specially Minami Hamabe and Kento's cameos. I highly suggest watching this drama! And also does anyone know j-dramas that is just like this (has the same plot or has the same vibes). Recommendations would be gladly appreciated.Was this review helpful to you?
The biggest surprise is not Kento Kaku's comedic chops or Kanna Hashimoto's comedic timing, but Hayato Isomura as Sagara. He's really great in Kamen Rider Ghost as Alain/Kamen Rider Necrom, one of the early villains of the series who turned good later down the line. This series highlights how villainous he can get once he is off the leash. He's so great at his job that I wish he gets more villain roles in the future. Another thing worth noting about the series is how a lot of the early elements established in the series were neatly tied in at the end. Like seemingly one off stories had interesting payoffs at the show's final arc, leading to one satisfying conclusion.
What I am saying is go watch From Today, It's My Turn!! it's streaming on Netflix in some territories. Will watch the movie soon.

Interesting and fun concept but very repetitive story with too little character growth
I have seen quite a lot of Japanese school drama featuring fights between "bad"/"misbehaving" students and therefore I might just feel a certain weariness towards the genre and be more critical of it compared to when I discovered it. The story is quite classic but I enjoyed the location and time period (Chiba in the 80's) and also the fact that there is no "hero" teacher fighting like it is often the case in that kind of drama. Here, the leads are the students and everything needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. There is no moralizing teaching moments, just very shonen-like confrontations between rivals.The acting is over-the-top which makes sense given the fact that it is a manga adaptation clearly more oriented towards heavy gags and comedy rather than emotional moments. It is quite fun and the performance of Kaku Kento is really the highlight of the series. In my opinion, it is thanks to his huge physical comedic abilities that the drama jokes are landing properly. The other actors are suitable but less good, they fit the over-exaggerated tone of the show but have much less variety and range in their acting. I enjoyed the bromance between the two main characters but I wish it would have been more developped.
The drama is funny but it has quite a lot of flaws as well. The main ones are that the story gets very quickly super repetitive and also that the characters have almost no room for growth. There is not really any evolution between the first episode and the last episode of the series which is a bit of a shame.
In addition to that, the production value is very low. The fight scenes are laughable at best: the fake blood and the theatrics of it all are fun but they could have been much better filmed and conceived. On another hand, I liked a lot the intro song with its 80's japanese rock band vibe and with the yanki theme, it was totally fitting given the concept of the drama and the generic scene was unskippable.
I would recommend this to people looking for a mindless but funny Japanese high school drama. It is quite classic for the genre but set in the 80's which bring up a bit of a different flavor. I think that I have seen similar series that are better but it is still an entertaining watch for either the real afficionado (or in contrary people that have not seen a lot of dramas in this genre and will have therefore less fatigue regarding the repetitive side of some scenes).

Hilarious!
Ok I’m in my thirties and I grew up in Japan and really not a fan of live actions because they can never come close to the greatness in manga but this, is hilarious!Maybe because of my age the whole 80s theme was something I loved along with the music but acting is really good with great casting!
You might not want to watch it if you’re looking for something serious but this is hilarious. It is silly and over dramatic in a really good fun way! Even the crazy story line which is not practical, brings out really great flavour in this show! I enjoyed watching it and loved the casting. I’m so satisfied with the people they chose!

No caso desde dorama, super funcionou pois é uma história de um mangá então está tudo certo. Se você não acha graça nas reações exageradas e situações mirabolantes dificilmente passará dos primeiros 15 minutos deste dorama.
Kyou Kara Ore Wa traz um "herói" (Mitsuhashi Takashi) muito sem vergonha e preguiçoso que ganha no grito, na traquinagem, ele é bem malandro, é uma baita figura. Parabéns ao Kaku Kento por transmitir tão bem tudo isto em sua atuação. O fiel escudeiro dele (Ito Shinji) é seu completo oposto, centrado, quieto e que não gosta de ganhar por meio de trapaça, uma gracinha. Com muitas lutas espalhafatosas e situações cômicas este drama rendeu boas risadas.
Resumindo: Super indicado para amantes de J-dramas que entendem e gostam de personagens caricatos e atuações exageradas.

Ini direkomendasi banget. Ceritanya berpadu dengan baik, dari segi comedy dan action. Terus friendship-nya disini, kerasa banget. Bisa buat elu berpikir kayak "wahhh gua mau hidup sekolah gua kayak gini" gitu. Actingnya disini juga, bagus banget, apalagi si Mitsuhashi yang diperankan oleh Kaku-san, emang mendalami banget actingnya.
Musiknya sih ok aja buat gua, nggk terlalu memoryable sih.
Terus apa layak untuk ditonton ulang ? yahhh, ceritanya kalau mau dibilang banyak kejutan sih, jadi kalau mau nonton ulang, rasanya enggk seseru saaat nonton pertama kali, namun kalau emang nggk punya drama lain buat nonton, drama ini boleh saja kok.
