In May 22, 2006, Funimation had announced that it had aquired the exclusive North American Rights to distribute for select titles from Tokyopop's video collection. Read press release from Anime News Network here. Amongst the titles were Initial D and of course Great Teacher Onizuka. The series has new life, so to speak, being rereleased by Funimation in 2007. Don't worry, the show wasn't redubbed or changed, just repackaged and released! And it's definitely more affordable than before. If you missed out on your chance the first time, then now's your chance! With each volume about $10 (depending on where you buy the whole box set of course), this is an nice way to add this great title to your collection. Except about the First BoxSet listed at the Rightstuf AND Amazon.com sites: Former juvenile delinquent Onizuka finds himself thrust into a role of high school teacher, facing students who behave just as he used to and an administration that doesn't trust him. Using the brash and unorthodox methods he picked up in his youth, Onizuka manages to reach through to his kids and help them with their problems.
