XXVI: "Onegai, Twins!"

The spinoff sequel to Onegai, Teacher!, Onegai, Twins! is set after the events of the preceding title. The plot this time around is different, as Maiku Kamishiro is the anime's male protagonist this time around. Maiko is a boy who balances between schooling and working from home as a programmer. Prior to the first episode, he had siblings it seems, with parents that left him. Things were hard enough for him as it is, save from two girls suddenly showing up at his doorstep! These girls, Miina Mayufuji and Karen Onodera, show up suddenly with a few things about them that may connect them to Maiku: a photograph of the past, and the same eye color. Living with the possibility that one of them,, if not both, could be strangers, he takes them in, which is where the story takes off from there. The goal for them is to find out who is related to Maiku, and who's the stranger (therefore having the right to actually love him.) At first, given what I saw, a part of me nearly consider the acts on the borderline between ecchi and incest. Dunno why, but it felt like that at first.

Despite having a different plot and new characters to focus on, it is a spinoff sequel, so it was expected that faces from Onegai, Teacher!, among which the now married protagonists and comical companion of Mizuho, Marie, appear in this anime, some actually being part of the story. The risque level has also risen a bit from the last anime, so caution and viewer's discretion is necessary when watching. Once more, Bandai Visual did production, with licensing possibly done by Bandai Entertainment as well, since there are English episodes. KOTOKO did the anime's opening once again, with Mami Kawada providing the ending once more as well, and popular voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch (known for his roles as Mighty Morphing Power Ranger's Adam/Black Ranger and Bleach's Ichigo Kurosaki) lent is voice for Maiku, which is pronounced as Mike, in the dub. The episode count is the same as the last: 12 episodes with an OVA attached.

Onegai, Twins! gains a 6.5 of 10. While the plot was a fast ball to me, I gotta say, it grew on me. It didn't grasp me like Onegai, Teacher!, but it was worth taking a glance over in my opinion.
