With Funimation bringing out the Ultimate Otaku Teacher as a Blu-ray / DVD Combo back in 2016, Madman did the same thing back in 2017 a few months later as a DVD-only release. Now, a few years after having both halves of the series out, Madman has scheduled a complete set for the show – on DVD only, once again. Scheduled for February 5th, 2020, the $59.95 collection will bring out the full twenty-four episode across four discs in bilingual form. Listed extras so far include the clean opening and closing sequences only.

Plot concept: Kagami Junichirou was known as a physics genius when he was a teenager, and he was even published in “Nature.” However, after college, he suddenly lost all interest in science. As a NEET, he’s devoted himself to his anime blog and nerdy collecting habits. He claims he has a serious illness called “I can’t do anything I don’t want to do.” Desperate to get him to do something with his life, his little sister manages to get him a job teaching physics at his old high school. He’s certainly an unconventional teacher, but he becomes fairly popular with the students. After helping a girl who’s being ruthlessly bullied, Kagami finds that he actually likes teaching. Will he continue his career as a weird teacher? Will he go back into physics? Or will he end up back where he started?
