Talk:Please Twins!

Subjectivity

This sentence in the character description for Miina strikes me as being somewhat subjective:

"Miina tends to have a hyperactive personality and can come off as being rather annoying at times."

Who cares about an annoying character in an obscure anime series? Besides, she WAS annoying!

OVA?

What is an OVA? RickK 20:09, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)

An "Original Video Animation", meaning straight-to-video rather than shown on TV. --Maebmij 10:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think Onegai Twins was an OVA: I think it was a TV series - Animenfo [LINK REMOVED]. Anyone know? --Maebmij 10:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was a TV series. It ran for 12 episodes, with the 13th being released as an OVA, like Onegai Teacher. --Js2756 July 5, 2005 15:24 (UTC)

Text novel AND manga?

From searching over the internet, I've gotten the impression that what is often described as the Onegai Twins manga is in fact the text novel. I haven't been able to find any manga seperate from the text novel anywhere, and even searches for "Onegai Twins manga" on google come up with the text novel.

Frankly, I'm not even sure why its called a manga or graphic novel on some websites since, after buying volume 1, there are maybe 4 or 5 drawn pictures in a book of over 200 pages.

Now, Anime News Network has had a Graphic Novel page for Onegai twins seperate from their manga/text novel page, stating that the graphic novel is due to be released July 17, 2006. I'm not sure if this is the manga being talked about in the article, one may want to note that it has not been released in English yet.

I'm not going to change anything about that for now just in case someone else knows better, but I will after a while if I don't hear anything. FleetAdmiralJ 18:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Please Twins! instead of Onegai Twins?

It was my belief that it was a general wikipedia rule of thumb (if not a policy) to have the pages listed under their English titles, and not their Japanese title. While I personally prefer Onegai Twins, I'm wondering if this entry should be on the page Please Twins! instead (and at the same time, that Onegai Teacher should be at Please Teacher!.

This has the same issue as the one I raised below: the manga is released under "Onegai Teacher" (no exclamation mark) and the anime is released under "Please Teacher!" Which one takes precendence? ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

If there aren't any objections over the next week or so, I may switch at least this page over if I have time, and I may post a note at Onegai Teacher asking the same thing. FleetAdmiralJ 15:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

How odd, I was just thinking this last night when it showed up on my watch list. Yeah, I believe according to WP:MOS-JA and WP:NC it should use the English name for the article name. I don't have much personal preference either way, but I guess it should be moved to be compliant with the guidelines. -- Ned Scott 21:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Question, should we include the ! or not? -- Ned Scott 21:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Since the ! seems to be apart of the full title, I'd say include it, but have Onegai Twins and Please Twins redirect to Please Twins! As for the change in title, I have an excerpt here from WP:NC -

Use English words

Convention - Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form.

My question then would be is Onegai used more to refer to this series than Please is? When I first found it, I found it to be called Onegai Twins, though I had watched the subbed version instead of the English dub. Conseqently, I refer to this series using the Onegai because that's what the orignal title stated it as. This concept with changing the name to all English can get a bit muddled if, like in the except I provided, the original title is used more commenly than the translated one. The same principle can be used on the page Kimi ga Nozomu Eien which only just recently has been licensed in America under the name Rumbling Hearts. Since it's obvious that more people would know that series by it's Japanese name than it's dub name, I don't see any reason to apply the wiki principle there. So, I don't agree with the change of the title, but if you must, you must.--Juhachi 22:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The only problem I can see is that the anime is released under "Please Twins!" and the manga is released as "Onegai Twins!". So, which takes precedence? There are currently more volumes of the anime out, but that could change. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Ah, but when you say released, you mean the American version, not the original. This still goes back to my question on which is more well-known - Onegai or Please?--Juhachi 23:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I mean any official English-language release. The only ones I'm aware of are the U.S. releases, so that's what I used in my example. In my experience, both are about equally well known. You could try doing a Google search to see which is the most popular. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 04:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

As a fan of the original japanese but understand those with a lesser understanding of japanese why not have Onegai Twins ( Please Twins ) Please is a bastardised translation but why not have both and if you looking for one then you find both. When I was learning about manga/amine I found that that kind of thinking was very helpful in gathering information from both languages about the subject. The Japanese always sounds so much better anyway if it was up to me just leave it.

Things we need to improve this article

• Screenshots on the Episodes section.
• A summary of each episodes in the Episodes section.
• Probably pictures for each character on the Characters section so that the readers will easily understand what the characters look like, besides the three main characters.

I would've done those myself if I could but unfortunately I couldn't. Pathbinder 09:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to add that I think there are too many references to themes from Please Teacher! such as standstills. For example, does it matter that Kei and Ichigo have the same disease? It never comes up in the series beyond one implicit reference by Ichigo. Argel1200 00:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Updates

Some of the characters like Ichigo appear far too often to be just cameo appearances so I split the cameo section into a second supporting characters section and a cameo appearance section. Not sure if it is noteworthy enough, but the girl with the dog on the beach makes a cameo appearance. If someone is up to it it might also be interesting to list places (like the beach and hotel) that show up again. Another possible suggestion would be to eliminate the descriptions for the cameo appearance characters (linking back to Please Teacher! would likely be enough for them). Argel1200 00:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Inconsistency

Under the heading "Light Novel", in the article it says that "While the basic story stays intact, there is one large difference (in the novel): the identity of Maiku's sister in the novel differs from the anime version."

However, earlier in the article, under the heading Characters - Light novel, it was said that "It is revealed in volume 2 that Karen is in fact Maiku's sister while Miina is the stranger."

I haven't read the light novel, but it would be great if somebody cleared this point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.108.220.9 (talk) 03:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Diary

Can some one please translate what the mothers diary says and add it to the article? - 138.217.221.186 (talk) 13:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC).

alleged OVA from 2014

Noticed this oddity just popped up on MAL - https://myanimelist.net/anime/52864/Onegai%E2%98%86Twins__Relations

The 26 March 2014 date is nearly a decade after Twins finished, and it seems strange this would be released over 8 years ago but I hadn't heard of it until now, nor had anyone added it here...

Aside from this "Relations" there is a similar OVA (same release date) added at https://myanimelist.net/anime/52863/Onegai%E2%98%86Teacher__Experience

I similar had not heard of this "Experience".

Can we find any data to corroborate these are real things? If so then they should be added to the episode list. HearthHOTS (talk) 05:36, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
