Unlike negative reviewer(s), I found the Onegai Teacher manga absolutely fantastic. So great that I gave it, as you may or may not have noticed a 10/10 rating. For me the only other manga that accomplished this high rating was Air Gear, which has pretty much everything needed for a Shounen genred fan like me. So why did Onegai Teacher have such an impact on me when it's not even shounen? Well, here are the reasons, you don't have to believe me, but please do give a try to the manga and check it out.

I'll start with some background on myself, in accordance to anime/manga: I like watching and lately, since 2008 reading those which have or are dramatic, particularly hentai manga's. The slow progressive start of the plot to the climax, and then the finale. This has to be very clear and thorough. Onegai Teacher manages to show it in manga form. The manga may not have various scenes provided in the anime, such as the beach arc and the parts which include the male Sensei (the guy who likes planes), but it surely doesn't lack nor stop to accomplish the drama which it intended to show and gain support of from the fans. And unlike the anime, it doesn't end in cliffhangers, as far as I can remember.

It doesn't stop there, there are other aspects which to me are better than the anime, it's supposedly based from. For example, puns. For someone who understands verbal Japanese quite well, especially when it comes to puns, the anime fell dearly short, the acting was weak, and when you would think they would put it up a notch, it failed. In the manga, however, those puns are clear and quite entertaining. My only disappointment if I had to say would be the lack of "echii-ness or nudity (like the anime ova)," although the drama does back that enough to not think about it. In the end, I nearly came to cry because of the way it ended, and probably would have if I was listening to a depressing tune of something. I would wish anime and manga companies make more dramatic stories like this, especially dealing with teacher/mother and son/student scenarios.

In short, taking MAL's system to mind, perfect for the story, perfect for characters, perfect for enjoyment, art could have been a little better, but for it's time it was the average, I guess. Overall? I stand by what I mentioned at the beginning. read more

An almost 2 minute (per episode) animation brought to you by Blinkink and CHASE (Both based in London, England), and spread broadly by Gekkostate AFG, aside from its exclusivity on the PlayStation Network and Official Website.. Noted as a prequel to the stunning God of War -like PlayStation 3 game, Heavenly Sword. This 5 episodic animation brings insight upon a game, which hasn't done before, at least for a video game console in the 21st century. Having been released much earlier than video game release, this gives viewers and future buyers of the game a taste of what kind of story to expect. With vibrant colours and clear sound, and the various formats officially available, this certainly doesn't disappoint. If you are a fan of the game, this is an anime you should archive on you PlayStation system for keeps. If not, but planning to buy the game, this is a must-watch if you want a clear view of what the game will be about. If you don't plan to buy the game, please stay away or find out on your own why I just said that now. Overall, this is made for hardcore Heavenly Sword fans that were waiting for the game before this anime was even released and hopefully those of you who read my review are those fans. read more

A mixture of the classical drama's incest manga have with the quality (art and animation) as the Bible Black Only series. Let me first talk about the quality (art and animation), it's so well done that I would have rated it higher than Bible Black Only, but since that was my favourite hentai, I can't really do that. Regardless, if you haven't seen that, this should be your delight - but first be warned it does include an incest storyline - unless that's what you like, like me. In my opinion, how well is the art and animation? Well, if I were to compare with normal anime, it would be like a mix of Dragonaut (art of characters) and Eureka Seven (animation).

Now onto the story (with the inclusion of sound). First, don't get fooled by the false information provided on this site about the story. It actually deals with the protagonist and his sister-in-law. The story is as dramatic as incest manga I've read in the past, and the sound is very consistent. It doesn't have over-the-top sound nor is very low-key. A right amount to keep you watching. I would have preffered if it was either a bit longer (more episodes) with more dramatic story or was just only 1 episode long with everything they cover in the OVA combined. It's really hard to explain the story without telling you a summary, so enjoy this on your own.

Lastly, I also would really like to see a sequel to this OVA, if possible. Though, I know it would be hard to continue where it was left off. But I would highly welcome more OVA of the same quality and dramatic story - like if the incest manga's I've read were to be animated. I also would highly recommend this OVA to anyone that likes the incest genre with intense drama about two people who "love" each other. read more

This is my first time writing a review (on a place like this) but that doesn't mean its not worth taking regards from. H20 is not an average anime in terms of its story nor is it any good, that is why I've given it a poor rating because it plainly just is. I don't quite understand what "Sound" means, character voice? set sounds (e.g. the train, footsteps, etc), or the music? But if its all that, its pretty well made, especially for those "beat up" scenes which are quite traumatic to watch (if you're a weak person in heart). Art is particularly not something I like but its better than something that disgusts me - moe. I guess Character means their role and how each played theirs? As an anime thats traumatic from the beginning to the end, its one of the best I've seen and espect that sometmes in some Shounen anime I've seen in the past. Despite being a down right horrible anime, I did infact watch this (for the first time - without dropping it) to the very end. But I guess that itself didn't make me enjoy it, and so compared to other animes I have been watching during the time, it completely fails to entertain, and was just a mere "fill in." That is why I've given this anime for an overall value of 4/10. For it to get 5/10 it would have to make me cry (for its genre) which it failed to do, especially in the last episode where I nearly did. Sorry for being biased, but I hope this review helps if you're a big Shonen fan like me who likes to watch non-shounen (NANA, Clannad, etc) occasionally. read more
