The plot in this series has got to be the cutest! It reminds me of some others I've seen, especially in movies that aren't animes, where the main character only has a few clues as to where they come from and what their past is. This is partially one of THOSE movies - as is to be expected! But there's something more in Maiku and his "sisters" than meets the generalness of the plotline.

(By the way, that plot is:)
A guy name Maiku Kamishiro doesn't know his past but he has a clue: a photo. The photo is of two kids (brother and sister) in a pool in front of a house. He finds the house in the photo and moves there so it will be easier to find his twin and just when he gets settled in and living good, two different girls (Mina and Karen) show up claiming to be his twin sister. Since he has no clue which is really his real family, he lets them both live with him (not smart!) until things get sorted out and they can find out. He's got school and work and stuff to do - not let girls get in the way; especially since he may or may not be falling in love with one of them. It gets kinda crazy.

Filled with happy and sad, touching and embarassing moments, this is one anime that is surely going to keep you watching, if only to find out which of the annoying girls (personal opinion; not widespread!) is actually related to Maiku. You'll have fun finding out... I think.

If you liked Please Teacher (Onegai Sensei), then it's not very likely you'll enjoy Please Twins! I didn't really see the connection between the two, so if this is supposed to be a sequel, it fails! Meep. You may be looking for a fanserviced anime, in which case this one's good. It gets crazy, but it's worth a try!

First off let me start out by saying that Bandai,you did it again.You have made this one complete package,they always have the best extras;cd soundtrack,photo album,and collectible postcards!This is definately a series to own.Okay lets start the review!

The players:

Kamishirow Maiku(pronounced like "Mike").

Miyafuji Miina.

Onodera Karen.

The plot:

Maiku Kamishirow has only one clue to his childhood,a photograph.This photo shows two children,one apparently Maiku,and the other his twinn sister.With this one and only clue Maiku moves out on his own to the house shown in the picture.Hoping to get some clue as to who he really is and to finally find his true family,or at the very least find the girl in the photo.Just when things begin to settle down both school and his job as a computer programmer,ol' life has a way of messing things up.Enter Miina Miyafuji,a 16 year old girl claiming to be his twin sister."We have the same color eyes."(You are going to hear that alot.)Because this is the only lead he has, he decides to let her live with him in the house they were born in ......maybe?As if things could'nt get any worse(wink,wink)knock,knock!"If you're some girl claiming to born in this house Go Away!!""So I can't come in then?"Theres ol' life again,meet Karen Onodera, who also happens to have the same color eyes as both Maiku and Miina.I don't want to spoil the rest of the episodes so you'll have to buy it yourself and see just how good finding a family is, even if it is just for awhile!

Please Twins is a sure bet if you enjoyed last years Please Teacher(Onegai Teacher).But even if you did'nt I highly recomend adding to your collection,you will not be dissapointed.

Maiku Kamishiro's past has always been somewhat of a mystery to him. The only clue he has to who is family might be is an old photograph showing two young children, a boy and a girl, playing in a small pool outside of a blue house. To find his family he moves to this blue house and beings working as a programmer.

If you are someone who likes serious in-depth anime with a rigid story line and characters of immense background battling it out in robotic morphing suits....then this is by far not the anime for you. But if you are the type of person that likes to kick back and watch something with a good storyline and cornball characters that you can either relate to, fall in love with, or just plain laugh at, then do yourself a favor and get every episode of Please Twins you can find. I am the type of anime fan that likes things such as Azumanga Daioh, Love Hina, Excel Saga, Happy Lesson etc etc and I have to say that after watching the first DVD I was eagerly awaiting the second, and now the third. Assuming that this was somehow connected with Please Teacher I went and purchased the entire series but have to say with all conviction that it is good, but the characters are not as easy to get immersed in as that of Please Twins.

Please Twins is a cute Anime. If you enjoyed "Please Teacher" you will enjoy "Please Twins". (note: limited alien activity)

If you like/liked Three's Company with John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Somers, then you are going to like the Please Twins.

The Please Twins are just like Three's Company (in which Volume 1 is appropriatedly called Three's Company) a guy living with two girls. (What guy doesn't want that?)

So, I urge you to get it! A Must have Christmas Gift or anytime gift as well.

I don't know why this is supposed to be a sequel to Please Teacher. It has nothing to do with that show. If you liked Please Teacher, there is no way I can see you liking this show.

While Please Teacher had characters with actual depth, Twins has generic, stereotypical, shrill, annoying, shallow characters. While Please Teacher didn't do the moronic "every girl is after the geek" gimmick plot, Twins goes all out with every cliche you've seen in the thousands of anime "harem" shows that came before it. Did Teacher have that bad of ratings on Japanese TV that they had to "retool" the sequel that much? Absolutely dissapointing.

Let's go ahead and assume you watched and liked Onegai Teacher (aka Please Teacher), of which this is a spin-off. This is not Onegai Teacher. It is not as good. It is not good in its own right.

The concept is as follows. A boy who was separated at a young age from his twin sister has only one photo of her, when she was an unrecognizable baby. The picture also shows the house they both lived in. He finds this house, and moves in.

Pretty soon, two girls both show up, believing they are each his twin sister. They also have the picture, so they have sentimental reasons to show up at the house. Both fall for him almost instantly.

Basically, the anime revolves around these two girls trying to figure out which is the sister, and which gets to be the lover. It's a simple plot, and it could work, except that it's brought about at such an excruciating pace that it becomes nearly unwatchable. Essentially, nothing happens at all, and the anime is brought to an abrupt end with no attempt at a satisfactory conclusion.

There are some funny parts, particularly episode 4, when the girls attempt to decide whether Maiku (the protagonist) is heterosexual, homosexual, or simply asexual. However, these are not the norm and do not make the series as a whole watchable.
