[Score: 41%]
The series narrowly missed the "Avoid" rating - the OVA easily managed to get it. I don't understand why people find dating based on blackmail, kidnapping, forced bondage, jokes about sexual devices, embarrassing 'chance' meetings between aquaintances in a love hotel and an UFO appearing to distract people from noticing something scandalous funny. This product is on par with Green Green Erolutions, with both of its makers apparently thinking "okay, we sold the series, then a softcore OVA will find its audience as well". Blah.

Onegai Teacher was a popular series, so it was only natural that they should create a sequel OAV episode. Sadly, there are several weak points that seem to plague OAV's.
Storywise, our happily married couple are still going, though Kei wonders if they are going in the wrong direction. To complicate matters, Mizuho's mother and sister pop in for an unexpected visit and mom is coming on strong to Kei. Then the sister starts coming on to Kei, getting him to take her out on a date. Finally, Mizuho's mom takes Kei to a romantic hotel just outside of town (in the country side) for what appears to be her attempt to have sex with him. Mizuho is determined to put a stop to this and finally manages to track them down. Beaming into the room, she finds herself materialized in the air above a bound Kei on a bed. Falling on him, they then engage in marital relations while Mizuho's mother and sister look over a script. Apparently, they planned the whole event. I didn't really know how to rate this, but if you are a fan of Onegai Teacher, you will want to see this. The art has been changed somewhat dramatically and I did not like it as much as the original. The supporting high school cast is only good for cameo roles. The series took a serious ecchi turn after Mizuho finally gets with Kei at the hotel. We are shown Kei mounting Mizuho and I'm sorry but that was not called for. But as is typical of OAV's, the Japanese feel that they have to push the boundries of good taste and insert lots of fan-service or other ecchi elements. What made Onegai Teacher a good series wasn't the otaku (nerd) fantasy of scoring with the hot teacher. It was the richness of the characters combined with the serious look at the trials of married life. Seeing Muzho's mom attempt to seduce Kei was bad enough without seeing him start to bang his wife. Bottom line: There are good elements to this OAV and fans of the series will want to check it out. However, beware of the ecchi elements that have been forced into the mix as well as the degraded art. Last updated Tuesday, January 25 2005. | ||||||||

Twelve episodes of Onegai Teacher weren't quite enough, so we have this 1-episode OAV sequel. Mainly, this story is about Mizuho's mother setting up a romantic encounter between Mizuho and Kei at a love hotel. So it is pretty funny and I liked seeing Mizuho and Kei get together. However, I can understand why that scene would put people off.
My main complaint is with the character design. Everyone looks jarringly different from their TV counterparts, though you can recognize everyone. However, I did get used to it. If you are a fan of Onegai Teacher, you'll want to get this as well. Last updated Tuesday, June 24 2003. | ||||||||
