Onegai☆Twins

Introduction: I enjoyed, and thought that it was creative to have a story centered around a search for a sibling. All three main characters were searching for something more in there lives and it is beautiful how it all plays out.

Story: Three orphans looking for more belonging and acceptance in life have a faithful meeting. Two girls and a boy, one girls a stranger while the other is Maiku's ( said Mike in English) sister. the fun in this anime for me was trying to figure out which girl was his sister and see all the misunderstandings , funny, silly, and heart warming interactions between ... the three main characters. I thought the anime did a great job on how they showed the mixed emotions the three had for each other and how it is all resolved is heart warming. A romance, and slice of life. It has it flaws but is a good gem of a story that can be overlooked. Funimation has the OVA 13th episode I recommend watching it to get a more full understanding of the anime.

Art: This anime did come out in 2003 so it has a older type art style to it. I thought it was good overall. To newer anime, and bigger named anime it is not nearly as good. The facial expressions were good and showed the emotions of this unique anime.

Sound: The opening "Second Flight" is very nice. It matched up pretty well to the episodes and the mood. The ending song is good not as good as the opening. Nothing to amazing that stood out with the background or original sound tract (OST) in the episodes.

Character: Maiku (Mike), Miina, and Karen the three main characters. The rest are supporting characters to these three and try to help out or get in the way depending on how you look at it. Mike is a very independent, smart, and mature young man. Living on his own as a computer programmer that he learned. Mike has mixed emotions about the two girls, but is interested and caring about them. One is very likely his sister so he tries not to get to close. Miina is a feisty red head, has some past hardships that hurt her, can be out spoken from time to time. She has a caring heart, but not that great a expressing her emotions. Karen is extremely shy, and very polite. Just like Miina, Karen also has a caring heart and has a hard time expressing her emotions. The three balance each other out. It is fun to see the friendship and love they form.

Enjoyment: I felt like I got to know, and care about the three main characters. There actions make sense and are explained very well which I liked. The silliness, misunderstanding, and emotional issues were not over the top but made for a very enjoyable story. All in all it was fun watching all the episodes.

Overall: Good story telling, Good Characters, and an interesting mystery who is Mike's sister and who is not made it fun, and exciting. The anime has some flaws in the story, art, sound, and characters but not enough to really make it that bad.

I finally finished this anime. It took a few months to do so, due to the fact I kept losing interest in it because of how slow paced it was, but I've finally done it.

Let's get into it.


Story: (5) The story itself is kind of interesting because we're trying to figure out who is related to who. The problem is, it takes way too long to go anywhere. Alot of the episodes feel like they don't 100% focus on the plot. Was there literally no possible way to figure out if they we're all related or not? DNA test maybe? No, it didn't cross ... their minds or it was, "Too Expensive". I did like the way it ended though, it had a nice twist but it took way too long to get interesting.


Art/Animation (6) There's not much I can say about the art and animation besides the fact that it's definitely dated looking and animations look quite stiff at times. Maybe it's not completely fair to judge it too hard, since this is from the early 2000s and stuff has improved alot. Character designs are okay at best.


Sound: (7) I watched this with the dub and it wasn't too bad honestly. I know alot of hard-core fans of Subs will trash it automatically but it genuinely isn't that bad. If you're into subs, then stick to subs for your own benefit. The music is quite nice, lots of piano is used, works quite well for the scenes.

Characters: (4) This is where I gotta be real with you. Karen, Mina and Mike are walking Cliches that we've seen time and time again. Karen is the shy, quiet and nervous one. Mina is the outgoing girl who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants and Mike is just bland beyond belief. He comes across as just boring most of the time, no real stand out moments with him at all. Don't get me started on the side characters! I know some of them are from Please Teacher! But since I haven't seen it, I wouldn't know. Maybe they are really deep in the other show? I don't know. But here, they are just bland. The only funny/interesting character in the sidelines is Kousei because he's in love with Mike and always hits on him.

Enjoyment/Overall: (5) I really wish I could say I recommend this show to others to watch but I just can't. The story has an interesting premise but takes way too long to pick up momentum and you slowly lose interest in it. The characters are clichéd, and only Karen, Mina, and Koisei are actually somewhere interesting. Everyone else, forgettable. The art and animation is dated, the sound is pretty good, but overall, it isn't enough to hold the show up enough. Also, they all realize they could be related, but they kiss and stuff? I have no idea what's up with incest in anime. It's so slow and boring.
Below average tiered show.

4/10.

There's a harem, there's ecchi then there is trash like this with these sorts of anime.

We have poorly thought out characters in a poorly thought out plot, leading to the same sort of embarrassing scenarios, designed for people who like this stupidness in hope of twincest and poorly animated nudity.

When two people you never met, turn up at your house, you don't just let them live with you, cover their bills, especially when your someone who has always kept people away at arms distance, avoided contact when you can, and or when having hotter friends, suddenly feel oh yeah i am living with two girls, ... let's think of them as sex objects.,

The same in the repeated scenarios from the girls, turn up out of nowhere but easily find the guy even among houses that look similar, plonk themselves in, instantly trusting a stand-offish guy who really is not welcoming initially. Find out they both have the same photo as the guy, yet no birth certificates, no push for DNA testing, etc with the claim of expense, despite him having many jobs one after another programming. Then on top of the girl's constant twincest vibes and pacts, and how much they embarrass Mike, and he doesn't just push them away, or tell them to get out.

It's a poorly thought-out story, with poor characters, and starts to get a twist around episode 10. It just felt detached from the reality of how people really act. the animation felt really 90's style with how poor it was, the characters had a very little backstory and had to wait to hear it, and you watched it not for the entertainment, more just to know what would happen in the end.

If you're looking for one for your spank bank, this is not it, if you're looking for something that's of a great story, you're looking for something else, and if you're looking for decent animation and sound, you lose again. A potentially heartwarming story turned to trash.
