Tokyopop Cancels VHS - For Good?
Last January, Tokyopop announced they were going DVD only and dropped all VHS production on titles except for their Vampire Princess Miyu and GTO series (GTO was actually brought back after multitudes of fan requests). Now the company has officially announced that they are calling it quits with VHS and has stated that they have canceled all GTO volumes after VHS Volume 5: Betrayal (ironic isn't it?).
Will VPM be canceled as well? Well since the entire series is out, no. But don't look for any more copies to be produced. If you want this on VHS grab it while it's still available!
