Summary: Onegai....
Review: I <3 this series!!! The only complaint that I have with it is the fact that they altered the name to Please Teacher from Onegai Teacher. But other than that, this is an awsome series and a must see for any anime otaku.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pleasant suprise
Review: I can honestly say, being a fan of anime completely different from Please Teacher, that this is a great series. It's a terrific blend of romance and comedy (Sometimes, extremely funny) and enough seriousness to keep things in balance.

A couple things keep it away from 5 stars, however. It is a bit predictable, and some of the main characters are neglected or just plain uninteresting. In the last few episodes, be ready for a complete change in atmosphere, and even though this is done on purpose, it is pretty taxing on the viewer.

Also, the OVA (Which I'm guessing will be released in the future) is downright silly, but essential for fans of Please Teacher.

The content is cleaner than you might expect. There is naturally some talk about sex and risque dialogue, but nothing really beyond that. 13 and up is a good range for viewers.

Check this one out. No matter what type of anime you're in, you may be pleasantly suprised.

Summary: Please Teacher
Review: I gave this movie a 5 because the story was good and it had comedy. This movie is for anime fans but some people that are not anime fans will still like it. The story is about a boy named Kei who has a disease that makes him fall in a near death state whenever he is depressed, he meets an alien named Mizuho an by some circumstances he marries her. I won't spoil the rest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Real Classic...Not Enough Words...
Review: I have watched the story 4 times, and I am still moved to laughs and tears... I am an incurable romantic, and this is a MUST if you are one too. Despite I do not own this Box Set yet (But will soon, as soon as all Pioneer DVDs are out) I saw the whole series, and I must say that anyone who really loves a romantic story (comedy and drama) should buy this. Oh, we have comedy as well, but I would classify this as a pure romantic story, with real comedy ensuing only on the 13th episode, wich is commonly known as the OT OVA. I disagree with those reviews classifying the story as unbeliavable or cliche. True romantic comedies are common in Japan, but this one is really full of emotion and it aproaches the relationships among the characters in a way I have not seen yet. We see how a couple relationship can grow, and sometimes be troublefull. we see jealousy playing, we see selfishness masked as unselfishness, and we see how traumatic experiences can shape our lives, and how sometimes we become so afraid of life that we choose to run from it, masking our fears as worries for friends or relatives... Well, I do not wish to spoil things, so really go into the DVDs and check for yourself, I am sure you will at least have a very rewarding experience, for the animation is MAGNIFICENT, and the music is fabulous (I have the DVD Music Collection and now I am cruising for the CDs...and as this Box comes with the OST CD, I am really moved to buy it, for the songs on the Music Collection are awesome, I got struck the first time I run the DVD Mus. Col.),the songs and music blend completely in accordance with the anime mood, in total tandem with the scenes and the story.
And a word for those who critized the 13th episode... I will admit that the final episode (12) had a real beautifull end, but as I finished watching it, I was already starving for more, and then I saw the 13th, and despite it is really different in overall mood from the rest of the series (it is really a comedy show, with lots of gags and SD animation) it is welcome as a lighten up, for I was really moved to tears on the last 4 episodes, and got recovered after watching the 13th... and the "Love Scene" we have there is really beautifull and is a true reward for us who watched the whole series. Sorry but I see nothing wrong there... Is a real beautifull and well done scene, completely in accordance with the series, and should have been inserted on the 12 episode... Those who watched the series know the story enough and well to be aware that there is no real awkward situation here, for the couple do not actually have that much age difference, and they do love each other deeply, and we really dwell on a love story wich has a real touching drama on it, and you will become aware of this by the end of the series... There is much more hentai and ecchi scenes and situations on the Love Hina series, wich is much more comedy than Onegai Teacher (Please Teacher)
The only complain I have is that the series is over after the 13th episode... But I wish they do go forward with a real OVA (not the Onegai Teacher 2 series, for it is not about our characters here, despite it is possible they do appear) and I also think they should have gone deeper with some characters... Specially Morino Ichigo... I liked her a lot...
This told, really if you intend to buy the series, you must be a romantic comedy lover already, so go ahead, for you will be really pleased, and this will surelly become a treasure on your DVD collection, therefore this Special Edition may be the right choice... I know that despite I have all Asian DVDs of the series, I intend to acquire this one, because I know Pioneer quality, and it will be a Treasure Item on my (or anyones's) Anime Collection.

Summary: A great series....
Review: I think this series is the best series to date that I have seen. I have wathced Kirumi and Aoi Yori Oshi (check title spelling) and Angle links. All of which are excellent series in and of themselves. However, I think that of Please teacher is the best one to date. At no point in th eSeries does it seem to lag or drag on. Granted there are about 2 times throughout the series where the gesturing of the main characters seems a bit off. But, they really are not an issue. I especially enjoy the family scenes and the final DVD installment they seem to be wonderful additions and a nice wrap up to the series. THey actually have facilitated me to watch it again. I think this series is one I will view several times over. It is simple a joy to read... All the characters seem to have a wonderful personality that really contribute to that participatory feeling inherent in the series.... I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a well paced series with sincere relationship and character development that fit personalities and the storyline.

Summary: Hot for teacher
Review: I wasn't sure what to expect from "Please, Teacher." The title and cover gave a certain impression of it's contents, but many reviews of the anime said something different.

I was glad I gave it a shot, and found the first episodes to be a cute romance, with nice characters and an enjoyable storyline. There is nothing particularly revolutionary here storywise, and it is in many ways a by-the-numbers animation. The standard mixed-match love affair is always good for a heart tug, when the main characters are disarmingly honest and their affection is plain. Very sweet, all in all.

"Please, Teacher" does highlight a particular cultural difference between Japan and the United States that is interesting. While upsetting to some, relationships and marriages between teachers and former students are not particularly unusual in Japan, and may elicit a chuckle at best. A woman teacher/male student marriage is not as common as a male teacher/woman student combination, but it is not so shocking.

The animation is good, the character design is good, the story is good. This is a formula that is done very well in Japanese animation, and "Please, Teacher" is a good entry in the genre.

Summary: Compared to the Manga...
Review: I watched the first disk with much anticipation and was somewhat let down.
The art is good. The music is decent. The anime...
My problem is that I read the books (manga) first. The books are excellent and the anime follows the books (at least in the first disk) very closely. Thus, no surprises.
On top of that, it seemed to me that the situations that the kids were put into that were supposed to be awkward were forced. Thrown in your face in such a way where the awkwardness was lost for the sake of making the situation as obvious as possible.
The great thing about the books is that you had to read between the panels and I think there was a lot more emotional byplay there than in the anime.
I hear the next disk breaks away from the books a bit and I'm willing to give it a try for that reason - to see if it stands on its own or not.
I will say that this Manga to Anime translation is a lot better than "Real bout High" of which the Manga is 5 stars plus and the Anime would be less than one given the option.
