The show centers on a young couple that are thrown together by circumstances out of their control. He's an 18-year-old student with a rare medical condition that causes him to fall asleep at the drop of a hat and she's an intergalactic observer for the Galaxy Police that he stumbled upon at an inopportune moment. He's forced to marry her or he'll disappear. The quirk is that she's his teacher, they must keep the marriage a secret, and they aren't sharing marital bliss (if you catch my drift) as well as one of his fellow students has a crush on him and he doesn't know what to do about it all.

So, if I haven't lost you by now, let's look at the show's dynamics. She has a funny little robot device (marketing gimmick) that controls her space ship, and the two aren't quite sure how to proceed with their marriage. Is it a sham or is it going to blossom into the real deal? Only time will tell as the two face a host of problems, many of which revolve around each other.

5: For That Teacher, I …:
While on a vacation, Kei and Mizuho think they'll be able to spend some time getting to know one another since none of their associates will be around. Fate intervenes and guess who shows up to get in the way?

6: Let's Begin After We Start:
Mizuho's mother and sister, Hatsuho and Maho respectively, arrive to stay with the young couple for a while. While sister wants to kill Kei, Mom seems to want to get to know him "really" well (too well).

7: Don't Cry, Teacher:
Maho whisks Kei to the parallel dimension and attacks him. He survives and the two come to an arrangement of sorts.

The show is really cute although I would've preferred that Bandai include at least four episodes or better extras per dvd. I'm rating it as Recommended based on the value of three episodes per regular priced dvd although an increase in number of episodes would increase the rating accordingly. Most of the story centered on the romantic angle rather than the science fiction stuff that is similar to shows such as Tenchi Muyo. I liked the anime style, the voice acting, and the story but some of the antics got repetitive with Mizuho always crying about some perceived indiscretion or another. I liked it enough to watch it twice (once with each language track) but wonder if it'll be able to keep my interest in the future.

Picture: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color. It looked very clear with few, if any, problems. I saw no artifacts, compression problems, or other transfer related issues.

Sound: The audio was presented with a choice between Dolby Digital stereo English or Japanese with English subtitles. I really liked the music track and the Japanese audio was almost as good as the English dub (both were solidly produced).

Extras: The extras were a short music clip, trailers, textless opening and closing, a design gallery, dvd credits and a double sided dvd cover with an insert to boot.

Final Thoughts: I liked Please Teacher 1 when I reviewed it so long ago and this follow-up dvd was also good. I dislike the marketing concept of having 3 episodes per disc unless the space is used to provide the best picture possible and with the average compression rate far below what that would entail, I had to knock off points for value. It's a good show though with lots of replay value. If you like romantic comedies, particularly those with a sci-fi touch, you may like it even more than I did.
