(L) Onegai Teacher

[rei]

Looks like I was 2 years too late to discuss this anime

I personally find that OTe is much more boring than OTw. I hate Kei veery much I can't forgive him for what he did to Koishi. And I also irritated by his whiny voice (yeah, yeah. I know he's Hoshi Soichiro...so what?! )
I also don't like Mizuho . At some point, she seemed pretty childish to me.

I didn't shed a tear at all while watching it The ending is pretty lame IMO & very predictable I definitely want to see the character that I hate to suffer Jeez! Why do the characters that I hate end up with a happy life Poor Koishi I feel sorry for her. What did she see in that 'geek' anyway?

That Kusainagi Geek should just sleep forever & never to wake up

[kujoe]

Actually, that's what saved Kei's character in the end for me. When it came down to it, he really turned Koishi down. Completely. He made a concrete decision and went for it.

The only thing that feels overly contrived for me is the honeymoon episode where everybody all of a sudden shows up, and that stupid stunt that he and Ichigo try to pull off towards the end. Seriously, what a great plan that was!

When it comes to fanservicecy moments on the other hand, I would have to say that there are equal amounts (more or less) in both series, but they appeal to different groups of fans. You can't make a bunch of lolis display cleavage effectively, and there's no way Mizuho would go oniichan-crazy for Kei anyway.

In terms of story and drama however, I feel that Teacher has definitely more to tell than Twins. But that's just me.

Hey, can't help it if I don't like him, ok That's why I feel annoy

Yes, he did helped out Ichigo (president girl). But for the sake of who? For Ichigo & himself, and for Koishi. But that is what they think. IMO, they just doing it for the sake of themselves without them noticing it. If they can make her happy, they'll also be happy. And they will not 'stop' anymore. Ichigo is a fool. As a 'real' friend, she should know better. She think that Koishi'll be happy with the 'fake' relationship. If I love someone & found out that that person forcing him/herself to love me, I definitely won't be happy Love is not to be force. And Kei almost kissed Koishi. Didn't he feel wrong about that? If Mizuho didn't appear at that time, Kei will kiss her for sure. And I will be like, "Arrrgh! Damn you, Kei"

But hey, all in all we did learn something from that, didn't we? Without that, there will be no drama. But that kind of stuff, I've already figured it out already That's why this show doesn't interest me. I'm more interested in Hyosuke x Kaede part

Yes, he did. But even so, he was willing to put up with that due to the reasons you've already mentioned. Take note that he almost got into a standstill (teitai) when he separated from Mizuho.

But compared to what? Even prior to this Ichigo-Kei-Kosihi drama, the whole story is still tighter than whatever it is that's on Twins. And I also agree with you. Hyosuke and Kaede are great, and they're another reason why this series is better than Twins.

[DanielSong39]

Something tells me that Koishi might have been in trouble even if Mizuho hadn't shown up - Ichigo seems to make the jump to #2 on Kei's list.

[Forbin]

Bah! Ichigo would've turned out to be Kei's secret sister and we would've had Please Twins Redux or something like that.

Then Ichigo would end up with Matagu or something like that.

And that's the reason why I hate Kei so much. I hate a guy who play with a girl's heart It may looked like he sacrificed his happiness for the sake of others, but IMO it's just plain stupid. Why do they want to hide Kei's & Mizuho's relationship so much? Is it because it's forbidden? Or Kei didn't trust his friends?

Hey, I was just stating my own opinion here. It's a matter of personal preference, ok In addition to the reason that the main characters are not to my liking, I can figure out most of the plot & how it'll turn out to be. Like when Kei almost kissed Koishi, I knew Mizuho will show up. And I knew she will run away & Kei will run after her. Then I knew that Mizuho will cause Kei to 'standstill' & she'll do her best to save him. And in the end, it's a happy ending. It's predictable. No twist in the story. Nothing that can surprise me except the Ichigo part. But that's about it. Most of the time, I was like, "Oh, I know what will happen next". That's why Ote doesn't spark my interest.

In Otw, I try to figure out the plot. But the result is not as I expect it to be. Plus it's more fun to watch. I'm more into drama + comedy + romance. IMO, Ote is good in drama + romance only but the comedy part is poor. As much as I want to be touched by the drama, I also want to laugh. Sadly, Ote had failed me . The love-alliance of Karen & Miina in Otw may look silly but it's the cutest thing IMO. And Maiku is the responsible-type, in which I find quite interesting.

Just because the story in Ote is more dramatic & tighter, doesn't mean it's good enough for me. IMO, Narue no Sekai is better eventhough the story is not as deep as Ote, not to mention the poor character development But I personally enjoyed it.

I highly doubt about that. Kei wasn't even interested in her.

Yes, I already did mention that I found that part somewhat contrived and stupid. And yes, of course it's "forbidden."

I simply offered my opinion. Besides, I qualified my statement when I said that certain aspects of both series go for different types of fans.

With respect to predictability, OTw was just as predictable. Who's the relative? It's either one or the other. (An easy guessing game, in my opinion.) In OTe, the main question was: will they stay together? Yes or no? (Not so easy, because it could've ended in episode 11 and it would still be a finished story.)

So you say that OTe is more dramatic and tighter but still prefer more comedy in your romances, huh? I understand. As for me, I'm usually the reverse of that. My main gripe with OTw, is the fact that it felt 80% filler and 20% story. Just watch the first two episodes and the last two, and that's it. Some of the little bits of pieces in the middle are okay, but the end result is still the same for the most part. The series could've used the themes of family and togetherness more in the same way OTe used the themes of marriage and "growing up", but in my opinion OTw got too mixed up with comedy.

Forbin mentioned Matagu, which brings me to another point. Just what the hell happened to him? Too much UFOs?

Really? I felt the same way about OTe, the whole plot basically revolves around the first couple of episodes and the last couple of episodes.
*********************************
For the record, I prefer OTw slightly to OTe, but not for any plot related reason (it always amuses me when someone says one is more serious than the other, I found them both to be about the same: slightly serious later on, mostly funny at the beginning). However, I don't find OTw to be vastly funnier than OTe. As a matter of fact, OTe in the middle parts (when Mizuho's mom and sister show up) is a very funny show.

[kujoe]

Serious? No. I doubt anyone took the aliens and the main premise that seriously. (But ironically, I did find OTe to be more serious in some areas. OTw needed the comedy to keep the incest angle light-hearted, whereas Kei was already eighteen years old. Nice twist, huh?)

When it comes to which one was more dramatic or a better story, it depends on who you ask.

Well, I do understand about the forbidden 'teacher-student' relationship. But in the end, the secret of Kei & Mizuho relationship got exposed. So much for secrecy. Kei should have face expulsion & Mizuho should have lost her job. But they're still hanging at school in OTw...

Probably got frustrated because he still can't get a girlfriend He's more annoying in Otw

[Potatochobit]

they did not get expelled because they had told a fib saying they were already married before entering the school, which does not constitute an inappropriate realtionship, just bad behavior in the school gym at night


does anyone have any news on the please friends? are they making a tv show or is it just goods and such?

Onegai Friends is a Drama CD, it takes place a year after Onegai twins. I heard a rumor about the two main girls Futaba and Akina are a couple in this one, but it might just be a rumor sence there is a guy on the cover. Though I think they look cute together.

Hmm...exactly what I have in my mind except for Mizuho & her mother. For me, Mizuho is like 25 (ah, what the heck! It's close enough ) & her mother is 40(?)

I think that Kei's uncle is in his 50s & his wife is like around 40. Kei's sister is maybe 16/17. Maho is 'probably' 10 y.o. & Yamada-sensei is like 35 more or less.

Anyway, I have no problem with 'older man x younger girl' relationship. But 'older woman x younger boy' type of relationship is freaky for me . That's one of the reasons why I'm bias against OTe & like Otw better.

Erm...I think so.

I really wish they'll make an anime out of it (though I'm not interested much in girl x girl). It seems that the Onegai series is all about forbidden love relationship. I wonder what will come up next. (so far, I've haven't heard of any planning for the next onegai series)
