God damn it. I thought this franchise was dead. 

I’m really not sure why Crunchyroll has Another scheduled to be put up today since it doesn’t air until tomorrow, but… uh… well, whatever. We’ll see what comes of that.

Impressions:

So… there were notes from the director or original creator or whoever that they were going for the same kind of romance as Onegai Teacher, a series I despised, but I took that as just the tone. Imagine how thrilled I was when this opened with still shots of the MC narrating all his character traits, including actually talking over himself and was then injured/killed by an alien crashing before being magically healed. Then, a red-haired girl transfers into his class the next day, so clueless that she doesn’t know how to shake hands. GEE, I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD MEAN. Even Milky Holmes could solve this goddamned mystery. Then we move on to the only remnant of his injuries being a wound that looks like a hickey, which eventually goes out of control for some reason, making him collapse and requiring the combination of her magical pet and her kissing him to bring him back to life.

So, uh, good news for people who thought that Onegai Teacher was the best goddamned thing ever because you’re getting an exact clone of it. My hatred, on the other hand, only grew a little more with every additional similarity they tacked on. But this time, she’s a student! The music was okay, but the production otherwise was pretty poor. They’re trying far too hard with the characters too, and everybody’s obligatory defining character trait is practically beaten over your head. Sometimes, the main character trait is that they’re wearing a different school uniform. Why? "It’s a secret." What stellar and non-gimmicky writing. I am totally intrigued by this hilarious character who wears slightly different clothes.

Go away, you hideous beast.
