Summary: a breath of fresh air for a dying genre!
Review: It's hard to write a review for a series with so many good things going for it. On one hand, I could blindly go around and say, "It's great! Go see it! Now!" But I have to explain why it's so great, and why you should go see it now. And with an anime like Please Teacher! that appears to be a stock love-triangle show with some SF thrown in, this doesn't seem to be easy to explain. Only, Please Teacher! isn't exactly what it appears to be. The characters aren't stock at all, though you'd think so at first glance. Kei may seem like the passive geek cliché, but his determination and his personal struggles are quite unlike the usual male romantic lead, and he seems much more like a complex, real person than most anime characters out there. And Mizuho may seem like an SF version of the "goddess fallen from heaven" cliché, but she is petty, flighty, silly, and quite intelligent (when she isn't struggling with her glitchy personal computer / ship navigator, the oh-so-adorable comic relief Marie). Instead of being shoehorned into the role of the "perfect wife", she must often set aside her own ego to be able to live with Kei. And while Kei and Mizuho complement each other, they have honest-to-goodness chemistry - the sort you see when real-life couples bicker and quarrel or act cutesy and downright embarrassing. While their situation may stem from unusual circumstances, it is unquestionably a relationship, and not just a couple slapped together in the name of artificial romance. Anime hasn't had it this good with romantic leads since Maison Ikkoku. Unfortunately, this anime isn't quite perfect, because the plot does rely on a whole lot of circumstances and clichés that do get grating as the series goes on. As if the whole "married-to-your-teacher/space alien" angle wasn't enough to play off, the creators decided that Kei's female friends would also make adequate rivals for affection. While the accessory characters are often just as well characterized as the leads, you do get really sick of them popping up to interfere with the main relationship. Well-meaning but attention-starved, the "rival" Herikawa Koishi wears out her welcome very quickly as the third wheel in a love triangle, and puts too much conflict into the series. The entire angle seems forced and unfocused, and while perhaps the creators felt it necessary as part of the genre, it could've been executed better. However, when Kei and his classmates hang out together as a group of friends, the very true-to-life chemistry of the series comes right back at you. You can easy believe these characters as buddies. There's wild-haired, girl-obsessed (but very cool) Hyousuke (sorta like an anime version of David Lee Roth from the "Hot For Teacher" video) and UFO nut Matagu to round out the boys, and earnest friend Koishi and shy, sweet girl-next-door Kaede to represent the girls. The standout, though, is the petite, incisively sarcastic meddler Ichigo, who is at her best when she is bluntly putting down the advances of her male friends. Even the smallest roles have a sense of fullness of characterization that is rare in anime and even rarer in short-run television series like this. This makes the plot shortfalls that much more frustrating. There are times you want to throw stuff at the television because the characters are being sent through such ridiculous hoops to get where they're going. For once, it's the plot that's clichéd and the characters that aren't! But there are enough original wrinkles to make things interesting when it counts, because at least the characters are just as frustrated (and realistic) about all of this as anyone in the audience. The animation for this anime is very well executed, with appealing character designs and interesting cinematic choices, like the mock-camcorder opening sequence. Backgrounds are lush and very detailed, almost to the level of a Ghibli film, while the character animation is mostly fluid and about on par with what you should expect from a modern television series. The background music, while appropriate, is fairly unobtrusive and unmemorable, but the opening is catchy, and the ending is a pretty ballad that is appropriate and expresses the mood of the show well. Despite the annoying clichés and overuse of the "My, what a coincidence!" plot point, Please Teacher! is enjoyable because of the richness of its cast of characters. There are moments in this show that are pure magic. While its flaws prevent it from being the best of the best, this anime is very well worth watching and picking up the moment you see it on the shelf. Except for a few too many predictable moments in the plot, this is one of the best romantic comedies in the last couple of years. Take away a star if you aren't into romance/comedy animes.

Summary: It just doesn't click.
Review: Please Teacher is a pretty good anime, but it falls short from being anything more. If you're not expecting a masterpiece, it can be quite entertaining really. There's a good amount of humor and some fun characters to follow. The story is rather weak, but it's good enough. The relationship between Mizuho and Kei just never seems to click. It never seems to stop being awkward, and that's really ashame. I just can't agree with some of the "choices" made in the series, and I know anyone in that position would not choose the path in this series. It feels stretched with no explanation of why. Mizuho makes even less sense in this fashion. I'm being quite vague, but I don't want to spoil things. Frankly I think they just tried way too hard. Just when you think things might finally get on track, they're jerked back again and without warning, things take a sharp left turn. It barrows far too much from series like Ah! My Goddess and does a rather poor job at it. This isn't a series I'd recommend, as hard as that is for me to say about any anime. If you've watched all the other recent animes and you need something new, go for it. Otherwise, use caution. It's not horrible, in fact I had a rather good time watching it. But there's just better animes out there to choose from. - Rirath_com

Summary: teacher!!!
Review: Please Teacher is about a story of a boy who gets "involved" with his teacher and their daily lives together. Of course there are more details in the story but i don't wanna spoil it for you. this anime is kinda reminiscent of Oh my goddess (by the same director), and the animation is one of the best that i've seen in a while. I love this anime because the story is great and there are some warm fuzzy parts that makes you feel good. (yes i admit it). At first glance this dvd make look like a "booty" anime, like another love hina wanabe. but give it a chance and it may surprise you that the themes to the episodes are more mature and deals with issues about jealousy and the consequences of a teacher student relationship.The story also has a deeper meaning that can only be felt watching the dvd. Don't get me wrong there are funny and perverted parts especially kei's uncle. but overall this is a dvd that definetly should be checked out!

Summary: Onegai Teacher
Review: Please Teacher is, without a doubt, one of the best anime series I have ever seen. At first I thought that this was going to be reminiscent of Love Hina or maybe even Tenchi Muyo, but it was not. The anime has its own flavor, a nice set of supporting cast and a good developing story line. In standard anime theme, a voluptuous twenty-one year old alien falls from the sky and a geeky fifteen year old boy (who was in a coma for three years so he is actually eighteen) sees her. The alien is actually on a mission to spy on the earth and watch the primitive planet develop. Said alien goes to the local school and becomes a teacher. There she finds Kei, the geeky guy, and confronts him to make sure that he won't tell she is an alien. They accidentally get locked in the room together and the principal finds them together. To prevent the alien (Mizuho) from getting fired and starting a scandal, they say that they are married. The series then develops around the two trying to start a relationship at home while keeping everything secret from the class and faculty. This anime has a more mature theme then other animes. If you are looking for martial arts, alien invasions, and cosmic battles, you'll have to go elsewhere. The artwork and music is excellent. I would highly recommend this anime.

Summary: Please Teacher
Review: Please Teacher was a series that I'd seen selling at Japanese online stores, like Amazon Japan. Based on it's popularity there, I decided it would be worth the investment ($100 for all four DVDs), and immediately bought the first DVD when it became available. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. I found the story to be emotionally charged but with enough fun to keep things in control.
Though it can be viewed as a bit predictable and cliche, Please Teacher's story deals with a simple question. Why must there be both happiness and sadness? Kei, the male lead, faces the dilema head on and finds the answer with the help Mizuho, the female lead, and his friends. They learn that life is NOT all laughs; a person must deal with the highs and lows of life. That you can't be happy 100% of the time unless you come to a complete stand still. That you can't force someone else to be happy nor should you sacrifice your happiness in order to create happiness in someone else's life.
This series is not for someone who is looking for a whimsical story, but, if you're an emotional person who empathizes with movie characters, I recommend Please Teacher.

Summary: Same as every other anime
Review: Stereotypical anime where a loner guy is surrounded with hot girls. Story falls into the classic anime stereo type, ie first few episodes advance the story, then a group of episodes that dont have anything to do with the story it just shows you what it is like when the characters go to the beach or something and then at the end they rush to complete the story only to make a pointless ova after that to leech more money from the fans.
