Onegai Twins

I've discovered this series called Onegai Twins. I won't go into what its about or anything, I was just wondering if anyone else had seen it and what their thoughts on it are. Please, let's discuss it!

Onegai Twins, aka Please Twins. It's fairly good. It has some plot defects, a fair-to-medium dose of fanservice, and a mildly questionable plot (two girls falling in love with the same guy, who evidence exists is the twin brother to one of them.) A previous series, "Please Teacher", is required to fully understand what is happening with a teacher at their school, and to understand what is up with the little sprite that keeps popping up. I consider Please Teacher a better story, there are others who think Please Twins is better. Both have some eyebrow-raising plot elements one must work around.

One note: Both series end with a DVD-only (never broadcast on TV in Japan) episode that is completely unnecessary and contains more objectionable material than the broadcast episodes.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)

EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

I have seen both series and enjoy them and hope to see a addition to the series sometime.
I have a idea for a series "Please Doctor" as a continuation.
Have a young single doctor come to the area and ended up working GYN clinic and ends up meeting alot of the charaters in both series.

Let me guess... he's dealing with the results of the previous romances? (Heh. Wonder if Mizuho-sensei has any physiological issues he didn't cover in med school? Would he need Marie to assist?)

From what I have read of both of the series the teacher in Please Teacher as a rather surprising secret.

Absolutely correct. "Please Teacher" was the series that "Please Twins" spun off of.
*spoiler for Please Twins but not Please Teacher*

In the original, Mizuho was quickly revealed to be a space alien sent by the interplanetary brass to keep an eye on earth. Kei Kusanagi was an eighteen-year-old trapped in a fifteen-year-old's body. This is made obvious in its packaging and Bandai's trailers for the movie.

As an explanatory note (perhaps a spoiler): In the original, Mizuho was quickly revealed to be a space alien sent by the interplanetary higher-ups to keep an eye on earth. This may have little to do with Please Twins (as both Mizuho and her husband, Kei, make only brief cameos) but may be of interest.

While Kei is a virtual non-entity mentioned only a couple times in passing, Mizuho pulls a couple magic tricks that would be out of the blue for people unfamiliar with the first series. More importantly, Marie would be completely inexplicable to them, and he is an actual factor in the story several times.
