A little review that i got from the internet o O. Twins
The main character of the story is Kamishiro Maiku, a high school student who has recently lost his parents and is now living alone. One day, Miyafuji Miina and Onodera Karen, two girls with completely opposite personalities show up at separately at his doorstep, claiming to be Maiku's twin sister.
Although all three of them possess copies of the same photograph, that of a young boy and a young girl together, only one of them can be related to him. Which one of them is it? What will become of the other? This summer onegai/please observe the romantic drama of these three persons...
Onegai Teacher
There’s quite a bit of fan-service, and the teacher in question looks rather lovely, but that’s all the show seems to be good at.
The story is about a humanoid alien (Mizuho) with an interest in the Earth, who decides to experience it first-hand by becoming a teacher there. She meets a student (Kei) who suffers a blackout whenever life becomes too distressing, and a romance develops between the two. At first, the romance is forced onto them, after they were caught in awkward circumstances that necessitated the concoction of a fake marriage to escape embarrassment. To make the marriage seem genuine, the two start living together and fall in love…
While the concept of ‘marry first, love later’ may have raised many interesting situations that would be fun to watch, this is not so in Onegai Teacher. Kei and Mizuho first fall in love in a timeframe of two minutes – Kei largely because his eyes met Mizuho’s body at the right parts at the right time, and Mizuho because she shared a conversation with Kei that I think half the world’s male population could have equaled. How’s that for the seedling to a love story?
Things don’t get better as Kei preoccupies himself with the notion of ‘moving forward’ and overcoming his emotional blackouts, while Mizuho gets jealous a little too easily and more often than not runs away from problems rather than facing them. This might be ‘cute’, but the results aren’t good.
Kei’s resolutions vacillates as quickly as my electric toothbrush oscillates in a minute, and Mizuho certainly doesn't behave like a model teacher – in fact, we are never shown how Mizuho actually teaches her students! The role of Mizuho as a teacher seems to have been thrown in just to romanticize the idea of teacher-student relationships.
While it would've been great to see a motherly figure aiding a pupil in need, Mizuho seems to be portrayed as an attractive and well-meaning, but overly naive teacher who doesn’t really understand love. Kei doesn't help – he is not effective at dealing with personal issues, let alone making a marriage work, and let’s keep in mind he’s only 15!
The support characters aren’t too deep – there are two girls who fall in love with Kei and his friend, but no reasons are given for the attraction other than the usual ‘he’s got a passionate side’ approach, and we see little of this passionate side in action. All the boys in this series seem to be more smitten by the lust of love rather than love for its own sake.
My analysis might be a bit shallow, but either the overemphasis on fan-service distracted me, or the lack of other values left me with nothing else to look into.
I only copied them of the internet, but my opinion of this anime is that are the best anime ever.
