After the success of the impeccably put together "Please Teacher!" romantic anime series, it would have been very easy for these folks to simply produce another season of that show filled with the episodic, predictable predicaments relying on running gags that so many other anime series use. But, the studio kept with the theme of "Please Teacher!" and continued moving forward, and "Please Twins!" is the result. And although watching "Teacher" before this series will increase your enjoyment of it, it isn't really a necessity as this one stands on it's own two feet just fine. Now, onto the plot: picking up a year and a half after the ending of "Teacher" we are introduced to our three twins in question. You read that right: three twins. Self-made man Maiku, fiery Miina, and demure Karen all show up at the same house with the same childhood photo showing them and their only sibling, the same eye color, and the same story of childhood abandonment. That is to say that one of the girls is Maiku's twin sister, and the other is not. The question quickly becomes which is which? The plot thickens when both girls fall in love with their possible brother. Icky? Yeah, but any anime veteran knows that this kind of implied incest is pretty much par for the course in this genre. Plus, it's comic gold. That is, if you have kind of a sick sense of humor. (ahem) Needless to say, this show opts to push the bounds far past the levels of inappropriateness that "Teacher" went to. This turns out to be a good thing as the humor in "Twins" is raucous and thoroughly enjoyable throughout. My favorite episode, for example, focuses on rumors that Maiku is in a homosexual relationship with a fellow student, so the girls put him to the test to see if he really is gay. The results are more than a little bit amusing. Not to be forgotten, the fantastic cast of "Please Teacher!" play supporting roles, most prominently the teacher herself, Mizuho Kazami, a beloved anime girl if ever there was one. In fact, she shows up so often that it leads a main character to wonder aloud whether there are even any other teachers at the school. But the best returning character by far is Ichigo Morino, the little girl who shared Kei's disease in "Teacher" which causes her to go into a state of suspended animation (or "standstill") when she loses the will to move forward with her own life. Morino is now a devious class president with an evil little chuckle and a full-time hobby involving surveillance of her classmates and taking inappropriate pictures of them. Shidou, on the other hand, has been relegated to uber-loser status this time around, becoming a one-note joke about lusting after his underage sister. As if there wasn't enough incest in the show already, sheesh. Despite the fact that this show is populated by characters from it's predecessor, it shares little in common with "Teacher" on the surface. Still, the creators manage to put together another fine romantic comedy series that ends too soon, continually evolves and moves forward, and keeps you both entertained and rivetted. The ending is a suprisingly definitive one, but it doesn't stop there. After the initial 12-episode run, we are again treated to a bonus episode that acts as a coda to the series. The plot involves Morino organizing an impromptu summer camp where the entire casts of both series get together for a great send-off to two of the best romantic-comedy animes out there. It's also fun to see the huge shift in the dynamics of the relationship between the three "twins" following the events of the television show. Faithful to the philosphy presented in both series, the show never stops accelerating, even at the end. If you saw the first series and want more "Teacher", or if you thought that series was too tame then this is as good as it gets. But if you are looking for some family-friendly entertainment to share with the kids, maybe you oughtta look elsewhere.

This was a great drama romance and comedy i really enjoyed every second of it. It starts with three siblings that did'nt no eachother that well then they started living with eachother and got to no more about their childhood and how they were seperated, then they started to remember their past and they were family this was a great show a nice feeling to it.

Unlike some of the other reviewers I actually liked this better than "Please Teacher!" (dorky high school boy meets hottie teacher and they fall for each other - kind of creepy to me). Onegai Twins is an almost-too-sweet story about 3 young people trying to find their place in life with each others' support. The three were abandoned by their parents as small children and feel they have no home, no place to call their own, until a TV report about UFOs over a lake in Japan pans past a house they each have a picture of. The three come to this town to find answers to their past and their place in the world.

The animation is good, the characters likeable, and the comedy sometimes raunchy. There are bath scenes with the girls but all the "naughty bits" hidden or obscured. It's a short anime series with a satifying, classy end. Highly recommended for teens and older.

Everyone else here has referenced "Please Teacher!" I loved it too, so that is all I will say on that.

This anime is a really artistic way of saying home is where you choose to make it. It is a wonderful anime that speaks volumes of teenage angst, wanting to belong, and what it takes to make a true home for yourself in the world.

I think the last episode (kinda like a hidden music track on a CD) was a really nice surprise. The second to the last episode is announced as the "last episode". Then the credits roll and there is a VERY risque "final episode" after the "last episode" which is very enjoyable both in humor and suggestive content.

There is a lot of fan service in this but it is actually tastefully done. My delicate sensibilities weren't offended and I thought it was almost a sincere act of moving the story along (almost).

This is funny material too. Especially when you put yourself in the position of our hero. He is a young man trying to make it on his own steam and not one, but two hotties enter his life. The sudden nose bleeds are timed well and laugh out loud funny.

There are plenty of unexpected twists that keep the content interesting even when the initial excitement of the opening episodes wears off.

This is worth your money if you enjoyed that time in your life when you were anxious to get closer to someone in your life but were scared to. Almost like a drawn out dating experience... you want it... but aren't sure you can have it... so you're patient but anxious all at the same time... It is a great cocktail of emotions that get drawn from you watching this one.

Good stuff, pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

2 girls, both in love with the same guy. But one of them might be his twin sister, and they have no idea which one it is! Naturally this leads to many very funny situations.

Please Twins is all about drama and comedy, and both are very enjoyable. The storyline has a great begining middle and end, to keep you entertained the whole time you're watching.

If you're a fan of teen romantic comedies, then Please Twins should definately be a part of your collection.

Karen and Miina, one of them is relative and other is stranger for Maiku. But both girls might fall in love to Maiku. If I might be relative, this love is not permitted. This animation stage is Kizaki-lake in Japan. Please come to Japan! There are same locations of animation.

I enjoyed the first series, Please Teacher so that is why I watched this series. The events here offically start when Mizuho first appeared on this planet. when three people see a house on a news cast of a UFO sighting, it is the beginning of a very interesting story. Miku works as a computer programmer, and goes to the same high school as Kei Kusinagi. He is an orphan with unusual blue eyes, and a picture with him and a little girl. But when two young ladies arrive, they not only have the same eyes, but also the same photos which leaves a question, who is related and who is a stranger? AS the three live together, the two girls form an alliance in order to determine who is family and who is the stranger, keep other girls away from Miku, and when they find out who the sister is, support the romance between the other girl and Miku. But when a chance discovery brings the truth to light, can the alliance hold up?

While the story is good, there are a few things I did not like. The made Miss Kasimi (the alien from Onegai Teacher) and airhead, and Mantagu a complete freak (even more so than the first time). But I enjoyed Ichigo's complete turnaround from a shy young lady to the most informed person on the campus (heh heh heh), and that at least everyone from the first movie makes a small appearance. When this came out there was a book bassed on the anime (unlike Teacher which had a book and manga), and while they changed some parts of the ending (the person who is the relative is the same, but who MIku chooses to love....wellllll) they still kept to the spirit of the series. OF course there was supposed to be a third series (Please Friend) but it never made it to production. Overall a good series and a Anime Legend in its own right.

this is a good seris I rather enjoy it tho its the 2nd in a seris comeplte the charaters in this is from another seris so I recomend you buy both sets so you will know who is who and such a young man starts school finds the home he lived in then some gurls who have the same pic as him moves into his home as well its close to every day life they have their good n bad days they learn to be together and become a family its touching sweet and good to watch you will wanna own this one as well to your collection I enjoyed it very much

The series was a nice sequel to the more slightly disturbing Please Teacher Series, though even with the story of two girls who are trying to see if their the twin sister of the boy they grow to have romantic feelings for might be a little weird nothing to r-rated happens unlike the ending episode of the previous show mentioned. The episodes though just thirteen are still very entertaining to watch and see how the various couples form between the high school kids, there are a few serious moments built into each episodes but kept light enough where you aren't to down on watching them. The animation for the series was great and the voice cast for the Japanese and English actors/actresses were great as well and the extras are pretty decent as well considering the price for this set. There is of course some nudity in the series but nothing to drastic to really worry about and while there are some fantasizing on certain romantic situations but again nothing to worry about to much as unlike with Please Teacher there won't be any sex scene(Not to Hardcore though) to complain about. So if you're a fan of anime shows like Fruit Basket or Shuffle give this series a try you might just be shocked at how enjoyable the show really is.

If you liked Please teacher then you will like the humor of this (Please Twins)
Ok you have to buy that Japanese Orphans can live on there own while going to high school.
but for Please Teacher you had to beleve a high school student could be married to his teacher who is a
alein from outer space.

I recomend seeing Please Teacher frist because it will help with Please Twins and it's a better story.
