Please Teacher!

I don't quite know how but while I was surfing the net I came across a random advert for "Please Teacher" first thoughts it was an episode of Pokemon. Well I decided to watch an episode of it and I was surprised and joyed to find out its not yet another kids cartoon. Its something that I never watched before, a Japanise cartoon with a more adult theme and less repetitive. The series was well spaced out over 12 episodes and an extra one which just gives you a nice little extra.

Anyway focusing on the series, its a story revolving around a teenager who falls in love an alien teacher (believe it or not, hence the name). So after you are introduced to the character etc. it begins to unfold in a various variety of events that challenge their relationship and other around them. I was hooked on this from beginning to end and so by the sounds of it so were many others.

In conclusion, I'm no anime nerd and if you never have watched one of these adult themed cartoons I would recommend this one for sure. A great contrast of characters and fun story line. Well don't just take it from me go and watch it and make your judgement on it.

All the best to review readers. Luke.

This is a great anime, especially for unexperienced people to the anime/manga world. The storyline is as such, the main character, Mihuzo Kazami, is an alien sent from the galactic federation to observe earth, but poses as a teacher to blend in. She's half-human, father was an earthling, and super sexy. Kei Kusanagi, a student in the school with strange debilitating illness that renders him in a standstill, discovers her secret and is discovered with her by his principal. His disease causes him to blackout from stress and once was in a coma for 3 years, causing him to be 18 but to look 15 because for some reason his body did not age during his coma. He is the worlds only case, or is he? In order to save his sensei he declares that they are married as a cover up, to his principal, but his friends are the ones that the secret will be most unknown. They actually do marry to save the career of Mihuzo. A series of events take place with Kei and Mihuzo dealing with love, loss, jealousy, and of course, some comedic "suggestive" scenes. A word of advice for those new to anime, don't try watching all 12 episodes at once, it can really mess you up, believe me! But, then again, it truly is awesome.

I have watched this series, and I totally agree with the other guy. This is a very powerful and emotional story. I would encourage anyone, anime lovers or not, to at least check this one out. I would really love to see Bandai bring out another season or 20...as long as they are as good as the first...I was quite sad to see the story end, and am also left with a feeling of emptiness, (and I'm a 27yo guy) ha ha. This is a slightly sexually oriented show and is intended for more mature audience, however there a couple scenes were blurred\censored, I don't feel that is necessary, as it is art...hand animated drawings, not real images that these MATURE folks are viewing, I mean, whats the point in drawing it if you are just going to censor it back out? but thats just my opinion...anyway Great Series, A+, ***** Buy it, Watch it, Love it

A heartfelt, heartwarming, heart wrenching, frustrating, sweet love story about two people who are thrust into marriage and learn to love each other and eventually fall head over heals for each other. When Kei a normal high school student, who dreams of finding the girl of his dreams, Kei finds out that his new teacher Kazami Mizohu is an alien from outer space who lands on earth to study humans for the Galaxy Federation. To keep her secret he marries her and from there on its nothing but tests to their love for one another. Over all a wonderful story, with fantastic art and incredible music throughout. if you haven't seen Onegai Teacher I highly recommend it and urge you if you to make it TOP PRIORITY!

Kei Kusanagi is a 15-year-old student with a secret: he's actually 18. He suffers from a disease that puts him into a state of suspended animation when he's stressed, and once put him out for 3 years (there is some scientific validity to this: it's called cryptobiosis, and while there's no historical record of a human entering this state, Kei is supposed to be the very first case). Kei hides his disease from his friends, for fear of becoming emotionally isolated. One night, while he is meditating at the lake, he sees a disturbance in the water that is actually a cloaked spacecraft landing. Light flickers nearby, and Kei watches as an angelic-looking alien visitor materializes on the shore.

The next day, he discovers that the visitor, Mizuho Kazami, is posing as a teacher at his school, and has also moved in next door to where he lives. Kei is the only person with the knowledge of who Mizuho really is, and she needs to speak to him about that privately, which leads to the two of them being caught in a compromising situation (she teleports them into a school equipment shed, where they are discovered). Kei's uncle, trying to help, suggests that Mizuho and Kei are married. This leads to an actual marriage (since the principal IS going to check out such an outrageous claim). The rest of the series deals with their relationship, the effect that keeping it a secret has on Kei's friendships, and the very real feelings that he and Mizuho begin to develop for each other.

The series isn't perfect. There is a somewhat jarring moment in the first episode where Mizuho goes from competent interstellar explorer to shy new teacher rather abruptly, and there are some awkward lines of dialogue, but these are small flaws in an otherwise well-made, very touching show.
