History YMMV / PleaseTeacher

* {{Sequelitis}}: Onegai Twins is much less known and popular than this show, as a much weaker story pushed the audience away. The role played also was that TeacherStudentRomance was obviously a more acceptable fetish for the audience than {{Twincest}}, though implicit. At the same time, surprisingly averted with the reboot Anime/WaitingInTheSummer, which was positively received by critics and is considered "at the level of the original."

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: This show openly romanticizes the romantic and sexual relationships between schoolchildren and their young adult teachers.

* TheWoobie: Oh, poor Kei. He goes into an AngstComa a lot and finds out his teacher is an alien, so they have to marry to keep it a secret. [[spoiler: His comas actually stemmed from an incident three years before the start of the series where his sister committed suicide and ''witnessed the whole thing''.]]

* CultClassic: It's no wonder, given that it the most popular or almost the only anime about TeacherStudentRomance.

** [[spoiler: You then have to think about their parents’ reaction. Their daughter is dead while their son is now in a coma because of her suicide.]]

* TearJerker: The reason for Kei's "standstills". [[spoiler: He failed to prevent his older sister's suicide and was forced to watch as she plunged to her death.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: The {{Pixellation}} on the object in Hatsuo's hand in the OAV is a wonderful use for misdirection purposes. It helps steer the viewer's perception in the wrong direction by concealing that it was most likely [[spoiler: just the device she used to tie him down]].
* FridgeLogic - Based on what Maho and Mizuho remember about their father, Maho may actually have been born first, although Mizuho is clearly older physically and emotionally. (How space travel affects the rate at which the various travelers age is never really much explained or discussed, but it's hinted that there is some time dilation.)
** Possibly bolstering this theory, Ichigo tells Kei her little sister passed her by while she was comatose, growing up and getting married while Ichigo remained stuck in adolescence.
