The only show this season that I actually kind of like. JC Staff has put out nothing but shit recently, making them one of the studios I dislike the most, but they made Toradora, which is one of my favorite shows. I was really hoping that this original rom-com kinda follows the Toradora formula. Well... it doesn't, but it's still interesting. The characters are very likable, which is kinda rare for JC Staff. I was hoping for a straight-forward story, but there's actually some sort of sci-fi/alien thing going on, so I was a little disappointed. Hell, this is the first episode so they might make it interesting, I don't know. The jokes are pretty good and most of them hit. It's too bad that the episode ended on a terrible note (blatant fanservice that could have been easily avoidable). Ah, old habits die hard, huh JC Staff? Other than that, the animation is pretty damn good and the colors are varied and well used and overall it's very nice to look at. I think I've finished analyzing the first episode.

Copy/pasted from another post of mine. I haven't seen Onegai Teacher but I have seen AnoHana. I'm not getting an AnoHana vibe from this, because these characters are actually kinda interesting. And what's with people thinking the end was good? Do you guys think that anything with partial nudity deserves an Oscar?


oh hi ricardo

this show is literally please teacher only instead of a teacher it's an upperclassman

I wasn't expecting much when I read that J.C. Staff was animating, but I was quite surprised, so long as they don't screw things up........it should be one of the favorites of this season

The OP song immediately reminds me of Onegai Teacher. Nostalgia. Nostalgia everywhere. So is this going to be an alternate version of the same story?

Ditto. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I watched the first episode. I absolutely loved Onegai Sensei, this is the closest I get to a sequel (couldn't really stand to watch Onegai Twins).

Well, my search for the next great romance anime finds another flop. The film premise was kind of cute and might have had potential, but the female characters consist of Bland Classmate #1, Bland Classmate #2, and Obvious Alien Is Obvious. To be fair, I haven't made a judgement call on Lemon yet, but chances are that's irrelevant. Nothing about this episode surprised me, and it just wasn't terribly interesting.

I also didn't get AnoHana vibes at all. Don't know where that's coming from. Haven't seen Onegi anything, so that has no influence. And there's better fan service shows airing this season. Yeah, I've got nothing to go on, so I'll just drop it here. Hope everyone else enjoys it!

This really does have the Onegai Teacher feel to it, so I think I'm definitely gonna like this. :)
Great start to the series, shows promise if things go well in the following episodes.

From the art and character designs. And that random extraterrestrial nonsense didn't surprise you? I thought it was damn forced and out of place.

I honestly have mixed feelings as well. Depending on the direction they take, this can either turn out decent, or end horribly, and I'm leaning towards the latter. I'll probably watch a few more before I decide, at least until they start the movie.

I really liked this :D ANOHANA WITH UCHUUJINS FTW! :D

First impressions: 9/10 :D

This, Nisemonogatari, Rinne no Lagrange and maybe Another (if it picks up, its definitely got potential) are probs gonna be my top anime this season :D Also, maybe BRS when that airs~

Someone said Ano Natsu is like Onegai Teacher wrapped in an Ano Hana art style. Holy crap no kidding!! I totally got that vibe watching this.

The similaries i see between Ano Hatsu and Onegai Teacher....



I enjoyed Onegai Teacher for the most part. So this show is really nostalgic to me. Even better is the fact that MC has a much better personality, which was the my biggest detraction from completely enjoying the original Onegai Teacher series.

Definitely sticking with this show for now. Sure it may be look a lot like a past series. But I look at it as more like a Remix version 2.0 series than a copycat show.


I just looked at the staff listings. Yes, the same guy who wrote the screenplay for the Onegai Teacher/Twins series is the screenplay writer for Ano Natsu. So it soes goes into my theory that maybe Ano Natsu is like a 2.0 remix of Onegai Teacher. I hope that he improves on the original. Kaito being better than Kei is already a good sign.

I like how some people calling it "Onegai Natsu". But, I think "Onegai Senpai" would be a better quip, since Ichika, the red head alien, has infiltrated the school as a senior. She is in the same class as Lemon. Kaito and most if his friends are juniors. I think Onegai Senpai makes more sense; and it has a ring to it as well.

BTW, someone mentioned ToraDora. Kanna looks a lot like a sibling of Ami from Toradora. When Kanna got out of the pool, I was like "HOLY CRAP. that's Ami's face!" Also, in the next episode previews, Kanna gives off an Angry face that looks almost the same as Ami when she was pissed off.

GREAT animation but the character designs what
except for Kanma's, hers was ok
there are two people with blue hair and you are whining about someone with RED HAIR I mean I know blonde hair is deliquent-like but red hair what's wrong with red hair ugh
Ichika's boobs are cool
THE COMEDY what comedy those jokes and illusions weren't even funny
so 2/5 I guess.

I got the ending of the episode spoiled by NSLM so that might have something to do with it, but I found the show to be pretty bland right now.

The OP/ED were bland, classmates were bland, about the only thing this delivered was the fanservice.

Of course, the show I went into having the least expectations for gives me the highest expectations from the first episode (and I promised myself I would never have expectations for a JC Staff show again). I love it so far. It's so cliche and predictable but it's so well executed that I don't care.

For those not getting the AnoHana vibes, realize that this is a romantic comedy instead of the romantic drama that AnoHana was. Both are romantic slice-of-life shows that are realistic in spite of a supernatural element, death still weighs on the main character (though Kaito seems significantly more well-adjusted), and the nostalgia is heavy. And the same art style (though some characters like Lemon look a bit more Toradora-esque) and director.

I find it funny that all of the other new shows I'm watching are sci-fi, and from the trailers I expected this to be the only non sci-fi I'd be watching.

ROFL at the final scene. So many similarities to Onegai Sensei. Feeling a bit nostalgic as that was one of the first anime I ever watched.
Loved both Ano Hana and Onegai Sensei so if this takes the best parts from both series and combines them then Ano Natsu could well be the surprise hit of this season!

Why does it remind me of Onegai Twins & Onegai Teacher?
The song in the previews is exacly feel the same, guess is the same director that made these 2 anime.

It seem like they can't throw away the characters from Onegai Twins & Onegai Teacher.

I hear everyone were talking about Teacher but not about Twins.

It's almost kind of similiar story that main heroine live with main character as in Onegai Twins, she were glasses and are alien like from Onegai Teacher.

Just a plot differents, the character have the same personality.

I know it's not that bad so worth to watch :)

It's more Teacher because of the alien aspect, as well that the rival in love is a classmate/friend.

With Twins they don't know yet who's the real sister and who's not, but they live together, and have done so in the past. And the alien is a supporting character. lol

Eh, decent first episode but I don't have much hope for this. I doubt Kaito and Ichika can stay together in the end.

The way I see it, there are two possible endings:

A. She has to die to permanently cure Kaito's condition.
B. Kaito is cured but she has to leave the planet for some stupid reason.

Even if I'm wrong about these two possibilities, I'm convinced there's no way for this anime to end with the two who want to be together actually being together in a happy ending. And of course, all of it will somehow have to do with that scene we saw at the beginning of this episode. Fantastic </sarcasm>

Off the top of my head I just can't think of a single serious interspecies romance that has turned out alright.

Well, I'll watch this, but I'm already prepared for the inevitable heartbroken ending. Didn't you guys know? Happy endings are boring in anime where romance is the primary focus (unless it's a harem, and then it's usually a happy ending for the guy and ONE girl and all the other girls can fuck off; and that's IF the guy actually manages to make up his damned mind and pick a girl by the end, which is rare in harem anime).
