Onegai sensei(Please Teacher) is a story about an 18-year old boy who has an illness that few know off that when he is feeling down he will faint. The story revolves around his encounter with an alien whom he has to marry in order to keep her secret and the feeelings that develop between them as well as the effect on his friends.

The story was quite lighthearted and comedic typical of a romantic comedy. But there was also drama added to the story to make it more interesting and attractive through the twists introduced into the story later on. Perhaps it may be a bit cliche in the sense that this kind of story has been done before but there is only one focus here being one alien not that many trying to compete for the character's love. Perhaps it can be compared to that of To Love-Ru. The Romance in the story is handled in quite a realistic manner where you have rejection and that sort of thing involved not just the idealistic love between the main characters and the-end. Overall, i think the story was pulled off quite well but the comedy sometimes contradicts the seriousness of the show, well but that's just how i feel.

The art was not bad either,nothing exceptional about it but nothing bad either. A fairly commendable piece of work with the well drawn characters.

The sound was not bad either. There were inserts placed in the show to help bring out the atmosphere though the op and ed songs were not so much to my liking. I felt that the voice actors were quite good and fitted their characters quite well.

Ther characters were all contained a good deal of depth for a short anime like this. Each character was elaborated on a bit and were not left out. Even the supporting characters had a role to play in the story line and were not just there for comedic relief as is done for typical romantic comedies.The main characters have the best depth though and character developmet is present in some of the characters which creates a more realistic and watchable atmosphere.

On a whole i enjoyed the show, the comedy made it enjoyable at times and they managed to balance the comedy with the drama fairly well MOST of the time.If you're looking for something out of the ordinary with some sense still in place and some romance then give this show a try. It is a lighthearted comedy that will give you a warm feeling inside after watching it.Though at times it may a bit unrealistic or unbelievable, but hey its fiction anyway.
