Kaede Komura is in love. After being seated next to the airheaded Ai Mie for the past three days, Komura cannot help but be attracted to his bespectacled classmate. Although he has yet to have a proper conversation with Mie, Komura dreams of the day when she will look his way.
One day, Komura notices that his seatmate is not wearing her glasses, learning by questioning Mie that she forgot them and has a tendency of doing so. When he sees her struggle, a concerned Komura takes it upon himself to help his crush. As the boy offers his assistance to Mie day by day, her reasons for constantly losing her glasses slowly evolve from the answer she initially gave.

I usually don't write reviews, but this Anime has such awful writing that I feel compelled to. Starting with the only redeemable point, it is well animated and has beautiful art. Now the bad points on this Anime, which are ALOT: The characters and history seem to have been written by a kid. The main character is a straight-out loser; he has no redeemable points other than *MAYBE* being kind. Some of his traits; -He's a spineless coward. -He has white knight syndrome.-He cannot speak more than three phrases without stuttering and seems to be surprised all the time since he's always gasping for air.
-He has an inferiority complex and a superiority complex at the same time.
The MC is so pathetic that he cannot even touch the FMC glasses without blushing and thinking of absolutely absurd things, he can't even speak the most simple of things to the FMC, and he never makes ANY logical decision.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER* At a certain moment, he is tasked with a simple mission: cut a VERY small section of the FMC's hair that got stuck on a locker, but this loser of an MC almost fails to do so. He starts to sweat profusely, gets extremely blushed and starts to panic.
BUT, mainly, the MC "says" that he likes the FMC romantically, yet he does not want her to improve and become a better version of herself, he wants her to be a weak maiden that he can *PATHECLY* "rescue", He is so bad that he gets angry/jealous just from having other boys talk to the FMC.
And about the female main character, she is clearly mentally impaired. Other than that, there is no explanation for her forgetfulness towards her glasses when she can't even distinguish a cat from a plastic bag. YET she goes out of home nearly every day without her glasses, and people around her think it is normal. Maybe even worse than that is the fact that, throughout the year, she broke/lost at least 5 pair of glasses, and no one seems to say a thing about it. In one of the early episodes, she says that she can already identify the main character by his voice, even though a few minutes earlier in the episode, she absolutely confused another classmate for the MC.
Just an absolute shitshow of writing of demented characters. Far beyond that typical highschool romance Anime.

I BADLY NEED SEASON 2(even if I already read the manga) One of the anime that I didn't expect to be this good. Actually I am more on watching reincarnation, adventure, or science fiction, but when I encountered this everything changed. I started reading the manga although it is ongoing , but still as a loyal follower of this series. Please I badly need a season 2. Now that the first season is finished, we fans of this series are eagerly waiting for next season. To the creator and studio who are doing this series. This is truly a masterpiece for me.

Typically, the best, or at the very least most memorable, romance and slice of life anime have an engaging story and a likeable set of characters. There are countless anime out there that follow this, however The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses doesn't have any whatsoever. The main leads of this series, Kaede Komura and Ai Mie, are some of the most annoying protagonists in any romance story I've seen so far. Kaede constantly thinks and says very weird and at times lewd thoughts about Ai, while Mie's IQ drops over 1000 the second she doesn't have her glasses. The show also likes torandomly decide when Mie forgets her glasses, making it hard to stay engaged in the narratives throughout this season. The only decent aspect of this show is the actual dynamic between these two characters, but with a flimsy plot and characters that would work better as a supporting cast, this anime just isn't it.

Story: A boy likes a girl because she always forgets her glasses. Animation: Sweet Lord Jesus, it's a mesmerising blend of 2.5D and 3DCG...that could it hail the comeback of the infamous studio GoHands? If there is a lesson in AniManga that the veterans have suffered through and the newbies have not, it is that "less is more". No, I'm not talking about lowering quality for quantity; rather, it's setting expectations straight. But to that, you might say: Come on, when it comes to works from the infamous, primarily 3DCG studio that produced one of the god-awful shows of the 2010s (a la Hand Shakers), how canyou NOT be excited about how the studio is going to continue wrecking source materials going forward? And my answer will be: GoHands has probably the biggest risk of producing not 1, but 2 shows this season, and while the core staff team may still be overzealous of its prowess in uncommon animation techniques, I personally think that GoHands has really scored big this Summer season...in a good way.
The first of 2 shows that studio GoHands is producing this Summer: mangaka Koume Fujichika's Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta a.k.a The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, which if you've been through many rom-com shows over the years in AniManga, this one would sound like it's just that: a bland rom-com of a developing high school boy who's obsessed with this beautiful and pretty high school girl, just because the recurring gag is in the name. But above all of the many self-conscious episodes that one might reckon that the joke has been and can play out endlessly until the author decides to finish the romp to satiate those who are sour and just want this joke to end, the devil is in the details, and truer than not, the source material is a delight to read and see the various interactions, though that mileage may vary.
As for that interaction, don't go expecting the male MC of Kaede Komura to be like Takagi-san's Nishikata, Komi-san's Hitohito Tadano, or even BokuYaba's Kyotaro Ichikawa. Just because they're about the same age between middle and high school doesn't mean that they behave with the same mentality; it's how authors decide to progress their characters that makes the difference. But for some weird reason, Koume Fujichika seems content with wanting Kaede to just act like the adolescent boy who's discovering love for the first time, and even after multiple attempts, he still fails to catch on that his love interest in female MC Ai Mie is just that: an absentminded girl who always forgets her glasses. If I have to take a gander, Ai is a walking trope (not meme) who does the near impossible, like getting to school without her glasses despite her house being just a stone's throw away, and in relation to those who really wear glasses for shortsightedness, she loses the perception of distance and has to sit very, VERY close to Kaede to say, borrow his textbook to read or see his face clearly, which obviously makes the eyecandy blush.
Sure, the good-natured, shy adolescent boy exhibits the "boy at the back of the class" trope who gets the girl, which in this case is Ai herself. He is always aware that even if Ai prepares her glasses before going out of her house, she's bound to forget them somehow, which doesn't surprise him all the more. This is always true in regard to their classmates, who notice their romantic shenanigans. One good example is Ren Azuma, the popular guy in school who is the epitome of a ladies' man. His Ikemen-style appearance and gentleness earn the favour and confessions of the girls (to which he'll kindly reject them), but what entices him more is that he's aware that Kaede is in love with her, so if the opportunities arise, he'll support them whenever necessary. This is why Ren Azuma is the likeable Ikemen wingman. Another example is one of Ai's classmates, Narumi Someya. The pigtail-haired girl, who always seems conscious of Kaede intentionally getting too close to her, is a jealous and attention-seeking girl. Otherwise, there's not really much going on with other characters, like mangaka Souichirou Yamamoto, who opts to just have the main Takagi-Nishikata couple on the front and centre line (with the Ashita wa Doyoubi girls as extras), but the investment into the support cast is just left out as such and only needed when the chance is called for.
There is no doubt that the main talking point about the show would be its production, handled by the infamy that is GoHands. And boy, they sure LOVE to flex their unusual, over-the-top animation that many will find jarring, me included. The manga was simple, drawn really nicely, and cute, but when it comes to the studio, especially if this is your first time watching a show produced by them, I'd recommend that you get used to it because this is their signature animation trademark that has never changed since K Project back in 2012. For the most part, I can take it for what it is since I've been disseminating my eyes since the days of Hand Shakers, and I'll say that the show is rather nicely produced. It's just that the majority will hate the artstyle, and for good reasons that I cannot fault them with.
The music is really nice, given the OST produced for this show. Tsuzuri's OP "NAME" is a jazzy song that will delight with cute, fluffy, and wholesome vibes, and I know for a fact that it was composed by Vocaloid producer DECO*27, which he has composed Anisongs in the past. But as well as the OP is, I can't quite say good things about Masayoshi Ooishi's ED, featuring Kaede and Ai's VAs, which, while being a cheerful song, the ED sequence was cute but kinda garbage for being visually bland.
In the eyes of the beholder, Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta a.k.a The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses is a show that you can either take or leave as it is. While it's not a rom-com that I would personally recommend for being overly ambitious on the animation front and the story beats moving slowly but not progressing, it's still a good show that is worth the relaxation beats of a simple love story between the male and female leads, of how one repetition could surprisingly veer off the usual rom-com tropes and still stick to its sole objectives.
It's just a feel-good rom-com with no BS love drama or pretences, when all is said and done. A decent return to GoHands.

Let's start this off slowly. I... don't mind stories that have slow starts, some may have a rough start but still managed to be a groundbreaking experience to behold. I... don't mind romance stories despite my personal dislike for them if the characters are likeable and a joy to watch without feeling unnecessary and existed for the heck of it. I... also don't mind if the animation looks mediocre or generic, it doesn't entirely determine the anime's quality as long as the story is not... boring. Yet this is what this anime has managed to pull off, a disappointment in terms of characters, visuals,and comedy itself.
Since this anime's genre is Comedy, you usually need to keep in touch with these two things in any show to make SURE it's any good, are good characters and pacing. The whole premise is about Komura having a massive crush on a girl who just keeps forgetting her glasses almost every single damn day. A good anime can get away with telling these stupid overused jokes if they knew how to properly execute it or even had good characters. This anime's comedy is pretty plain and repetitive, to even get a smirk after witnessing the same joke for 13 episodes in a row while happening MULTIPLE times in a single episode would be a goddamn miracle to witness, because I don't think anyone could actually find this slightly amusing.
The only time(s) I actually laughed when I was trying to stomach through their interactions being replayed 100 times by now were the fact GoHands actually recycled scenes from this anime and they didn't even bother to reanimate how these characters move, it's also quite hilarious how often they did this cheap trick. So you're stuck with an endless loop of scenes that are a sign of overblown budget on EP 1 which caused them to reuse them for the majority of the anime. EP 1 had some incredible visuals but sometimes felt nauseating and too bright to watch until GoHands came up with this brilliant idea to just don't make anymore good animation and instead show them the 3D buildings they have made for the show so you can see how much of a disconnect these characters with their own environment. It could still take place in a bus and it wouldn't change a damn thing. Keep in mind I'm laughing at the show, not because it had anything funny.
Although still, I can forgive these shenanigans if it still had likeable characters, but my oh my, how reality disappoints so often. I am confident that if these two big issues were resolved immediately, it would have been a lot more enjoyable to watch and be an easy recommendation for romance and comedy lovers.
Issue 1: Is Mie a real character or what?
It was how the love interest is treated like a trophy to look at, not as a real character to support and empathize. Initially, I can accept that because most school crushes usually were perceived in this way for a while but this anime really drags it out way too long than it should. The moment I heard Mie finally started speaking for herself, I was like "Wait, she has her own mind?" Although, the story gradually started to treat Mie more as a character to be paired with Komura other than a trophy for most of the time, it took extremely long to get to that point and any feeling of support I could have for them is long gone since they barely build any kind of actual chemistry when the guy just wants to be a NPC, watching Mie being a goofball the story portrayed her as it is.
Issue 2: Komura is so annoying to root for.
I know there's a difference between light-hearted shows, where you'll often find simple-minded or somewhat horny characters especially in school teens and dramatic shows that mostly feature morally grey characters, but what matters in that character should be personal growth, no matter how insignificant it may be. Which comes to the next point, Komura has received no kind of growth, leaving the only part of growth that's happening is the hollow romance and misunderstandings. You see, whenever a girl gets really close to you, you start to stutter, you just figured out you almost made physical contact, so you backed off to avoid any misunderstandings. This story realizes that and instead of moving on, it decides to replay the same scenario for almost every episode and it's not a progression of Komura and Mie slowly understanding each other, it's the slow process of Komura trying to figure out with his miniscule brain cells that it's okay to be with Mie. So if you're okay with every episode showing Komura blushing every time he sees Mie getting too close for comfort, this is your type of treat, you're welcome. Imagine having the side characters somewhat overshadow the main characters, being more unique and impactful to the romance progression than Komura x Mie.
I rest my case. Hereby lies a disappointment I have expected from the day it aired up till this day. Goodbye, I will never think of you again.

There’s an old sentiment that gets repeated when it comes to consuming art – everyone is entitled to their own interpretations and opinions. In the pure abstract, this is true, but it’s also true that media sometimes requires us to lean more towards certain takeaways than others. I highly doubt anyone would watch *Girls und Panzer* and come away with the sense that it was critiquing Soviet Union sociopolitical dogmatism—though I would love to see someone actually try arguing that in earnest—or that *serial experiments lain* was just everyone tripping balls on LSD and that all that stuff about “the Wired” was just a drug-inducedhallucination. Yet every once in a great while, there comes a property that, either in its material as written or its presentation as shown, is a genuine Rorschach inkblot test. How you end up seeing it says more about you than it does about the art itself, or to put this into more contextually-relevant terms, more about you as a viewer than it does about the studio that made it.
Enter *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses,* a show whose trailer quickly became the recurring conversation in the leadup to the Summer 2023 anime season. Even before a single episode had aired, everyone seemed to map a feeling onto it. “It looks like garbage,” one would say. “It looks awesome,” another would chime. “It looks like awesome garbage,” shouted a third person. The truth is that all three are correct, because studio GoHands managed to create a show that would be impossible to disappoint, providing an endless stream of frustration for its detractors who saw it as nothing but drudge, comfort food for those who wanted something free and easy with its romantic comedy, and hilarity for those who wanted to see the “most extra” presentation for shockingly mundane material.
And the material certainly is that. Caught within the whirlwind of young infatuation, Komura Kaede is smitten with his next-door seat neighbor Mie Ai. Though not the smartest student or the most athletically gifted, Komura cannot help but find her adorable (and with that many individual strands of anime hair, who could blame him?). One day however, Mie ends up forgetting her glasses, leaving her to rely on Komura for the present situation. From there, the show’s vignettes follow a familiar cycle of Mie forgetting her glasses back at home and Komura being right there to either help her navigate when she can barely see, or try and make heads-or-tails of the myriad situations that cause his emotions to catch on fire. All the while, others are keen to weigh in on the plainly obvious budding relationship unfolding. Azuma, the class’s “cool dude,” makes it plain that he finds Komura’s attraction to Mie amusing, and secretly cheers him on, while Komeya takes every chance possible to ask Komura if he’s kissed Mie yet, and so forth.
Like the innumerable romcoms before it, *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* banks on delaying any sense of confession or upfront emotional confrontation between its two characters to pad out the material and indulge in silliness and hijinks. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing here to tilt one’s head, except that because the characters in question are in middle school, it makes a little more sense why they aren’t quite so forthcoming about their own feelings. But the presence of GoHands’s over-the-top form of presentation does change the manner by which the material presents itself tonally. Because everything visually is so absurdly elevated to overcompensated degrees, everything within the written material is given a heightened sense of ridiculousness, even when a situation itself is completely run-of-the-mill.
On the surface, it reads as a kind of cinemanarrative dissonance – the mundanity story of the text does not match the story of the visuals. In a film textbook, this might be framed as a death sentence; for *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses,* it is the essential ingredient to fueling most reactions towards it, positive or negative. There is absolutely no reason why Mie’s hair should flap around like it has a life of its own when the window isn’t open, or the sound to go insane when she says something that makes Komura’s heart almost explode, especially when a situation just doesn’t call for it. Perhaps it could be said that the visual styling for *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* is to somehow recreate the way in which Komura sees the world. His thoughts concerning Mie almost cause his brain to short-circuit in real-time, and we become privy to his wigging out by gazing into the abyss of weird body proportions, camera angles, and aggressive effects. It is as though his mind constructs reality like the mirrors in a funhouse. That might be amusing for an attempt to find compositional harmony within this series, especially when confounded by questions that seem tailor-made by textbooks to address something amiss in cinematography.
But buried underneath an endeavor like that is something far more cosmically eye-rolling, the question of “why is this like this” – of all the pieces of media GoHands could have given this treatment to, they gave it to something **this plain!?** Even *Hand Shakers,* perhaps GoHands’s most-infamous and well-known property, could offer the excuse of being a battle fantasy. It seems almost like a joke, but one that insists on treating it like a serious artistic decision, all the while you can’t escape the sense that it’s constantly winking at you to let you know that it’s aware it’s trying way too hard, and still occasionally failing outright.
The experience is too surreal to cleanly summarize, frankly. I do not know who decided that *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* must look this way, but I find myself not caring to want to know, either. All I do know is that, in the moments where Komura manages to actually score some genuine points (like being willing to lie to Mie’s mom because he doesn’t want Mie to face her disappointment, or skimping out on a day at the arcade with his friends because he’s worried Mie won’t find the post office), I was having a blast watching it all unfold in its preposterously-presented glory. Even though not “every frame’s a (stupefying) painting,” there were plenty, and because of that, I couldn’t help but laugh at jokes I’d never find funny otherwise, or find myself cheering for characters whose actions I’d shake my head at.
Point being, *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* is a showcase of GoHands putting in not 100%, but a very particular kind of 100% that offers an endless supply of what-the-fuckery for those who see it that way. When American film critic Pauline Kael wrote in Harper’s Magazine in 1969, “…movies are so rarely great art that, if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have very little reason to be interested in them,” she could only dream of a show like this.
What a beautiful medium anime is, isn’t it?

Watching The Girl I Like Forgot Glasses is like taking a trip down memory lane, to the days of high school when you first begin your teenage years. Or, if you are currently in high school, the youth experience is about meeting people and making discoveries. Don't believe me? Just ask Kaede Komura. Despite GoHands' rather rocky reputation in recent years with their mediocre projects, this is one of those shows that worked out in the end with its animation style. The CG artwork feels alive when we see the backgrounds and character emotions. GoHands uses its digital effects that earns both praise and criticism inthe past. Watching this studio's projects over the years made me realize how much they wanted to focus on their enhancing their quality. Their overemphasis on coloring and CG actually exceeded expectations. From the enhanced quality of the backgrounds to the character models, I do praise GoHands on delivering what is their greatest presentation yet.
Based on the manga of the same name, you don't need to read further than the synopsis. The title of the show itself might attract your attention as to what it may be about. It's simple: a girl that a protagonist likes who happens to forget their glasses. It goes beyond a recurring gag as it's embedded into the main plot. Every episode, we see Komura's classmate Ai Mie somehow forget her glasses and as result, chains of events follow that always leads to him helping her out. At the root of the plot is Komura's crush on the oblivious Mie and her clumsiness causes the two to be paired up together. In other words, you shouldn't invite yourself to some sort of complex plot. This show isn't trying to deceive you. What you see is what you get: a boy who has a crush on a girl who forget their glasses.
Ai Mie is the epitome of a clumsy airhead. If there's one character this year that relates to clumsy, Mie represents the embodiment of that word. Think about it, every episode has her somehow, someway forget her glasses. Luckily, she lives close to school so she's able to get there on her own. Whenever she forgets her glasses in class, Komura serves as her helping hand. This is where the meat of the show happens. You see, whenever Komura has to help her, she closes in the distance between her face and his. This results in awkward moments that has Komura blushing furiously and countless thoughts running in his head. The recurring gags results in Mie thanking him in a looping pattern. This happens to be a fortune for Komura because it gives him more opportunities to know about Mie. In respect, the two both connect and build a bond between each other whether you interpret is romantic or as close friends. However, given the length of this show, don't expect the anime to give them a happy ever after ending. They're still teenagers and there's a whole life ahead of them.
As a romantic comedy, we should know that other characters sometimes get into our main characters' lives. Ren Azuma is one such character who through observations realizes the two's feelings. Due to his popularity, he sometimes causes Komura to feel jealous and inferior to him. On the other hand, there's also Narumi Someya, a fellow female classmate that causes Mie to feel inadvertisely jealous. Her reactions isn't overblown but it's obvious that that she is curious what Komura thinks of other girls. However, even as a romantic comedy, this is more on the light side. There's a lot more emphasis on the comedy than the romance and this isn't adapted as a heavy drama. Treat yourself as this show wants it to be...a colorful anime that tells a story exactly the way it is.

I can summarize my feelings on this anime as follows: I have nothing really bad to say about it. A few minor things, but nothing really bad. I enjoyed it. This anime is about an early teenage boy who "falls in love" with an early teenage girl. She can't see well and keeps forgetting her glasses, and he takes care of her as best he can when she does, and their relationship blooms. Okay, the things I loved about this anime: They did not phone it in on the animation. It's really good. In fact, it's so good, at somepoints it almost felt they were flexing just for the sake of flexing. It was at least as good as anything Clover Works or KyoAni can come up with, and that's a high compliment. The color pallet is good, the art is excellent... I have only good things to say about it.
Also, for what it is, the story is really good as well. The two main characters are around thirteen or fourteen years old, and their relationship is age appropriate. I recall there being *no* fanservice, or at least so little I barely noticed. In fact, the one or two times it sidled up to fanservice, it was averted pretty strongly. I thought this was refreshing, it's my personal opinion that if your story needs fanservice, you probably suck at telling it. I mean, there is a place for fanservice, but your story shouldn't *need* it.
And this story didn't. And because it didn't need it, they didn't add it. For an anime where the MCs are thirteen year old characters, this was unfortunately a lot more uncommon than I wish it would be.
Also... and I can't say enough how happy this made me: the parents were present. Both of the main characters had parents. How many anime have I watched where this is not only not the case, but the absence of the parents is played off as a *plus*?
This story was just refreshing on every level.
It's true that the story was a bit of a slow burn, and the male MC was a little clueless about the Ways of Girls and How to Interact With Them, but, come on. He's like thirteen. What do you expect, a shoujo male MC with muscles, a featureless chest, roses and echoey voice??
So as far as the minor things I didn't like about this anime: the animation was too good. I never thought I'd say that, but it was. This was very obvious in the opening sequence, where the camera is flying under desks, around covers, through legs... it's like they were marking their territory. It was impressive, *really* impressive, but there's a fine line between really good and just absurd. They could have dialed that down just a teensy bit.
Also, while the interactions between the main characters were surprisingly believable, the male MC could have stood to have just a bit more of a spine. I mean, yeah, thirteen, but still.
Anyway... I don't really have anything bad to say about this anime. It was a sweet, age appropriate rom-com and was a nice way to spend a few hours. Strong recommend from me.
Koinaru
The opening to this anime is extremely banger, top notch, peak animation and music. It likely made me watch more than the anime itself.. As for the story and plot, it's your typical romcom stuff, but I found it extremely wholesome and cute. The way they portrayed the characters all glittery but in a subtle fashion really made an interesting impact that increased immersion. Story and scenarios were somewhat realistic, and you could see the characters' love for each other grow and grow. Subtle yet thoughtful. Like yeah you can imagine this happening IRL and you're not *totally* like "No way this could eeever happen IRL"like some romcoms are.
It starts off with the protagonist already in love, which is easily connected to, rather than funny coincidences like some other romcoms are. Yes this takes away from the comedy part of the romcom but it's nice to see a romcom focus more on the romance than the comedy.
Also, the ending really caught me offguard. I mean it's kind of a typical thing but the episode's buildup to it gave it a bigger impact.
Anyways, a breakdown.
Music: 10/10
Animation/Art: 7.5/10
Plot: 7/10 for what it is.
Characters: 6/10
Romance: 9/10
Comedy: 3/10 (The true comedy of this anime is seeing how truly in love the male protagonist was and the opening animation really reflects this well.)
Anyways, even if you choose not to watch this anime, I highly recommend the opening.
Flacion
Is it possible to form a relationship through a girl forgetting her glasses and the boy that is in love with her, then helps her with everyday problems. But is she really forgetting them or is it just an excuse to get close to him? The girl I like forgot her glasses is another romcom that follows two highschool students and how their relationship evolves. It works from the premise that Mie often forgets her glasses and thereby leads to lots of problems throughout her day, Komura, who has a crush on her, then starts helping her with these problems. The premise gives room for a lotof fun and cute moments that shows how the two of them grow together. One of the aspects the anime builds a lot on is dependency and when are you helping too much, which is shown from both sides. This gives room for different interactions, which explores the characters and what type of relationship they want between each other.
The anime sadly has some slightly rough starter episodes, with some gags being dragged a bit too far and some camera angles being a bit odd. But if you get through those episodes or maybe don't find an issue in them, are the later episodes a nice watch that doesn’t seem to have the same problems.
The animation and camera angles throughout the show seems to be a bit out of the ordinary. If it is good or bad is debatable, since it's very much up to your taste and thereby a decision you will have to make on your own. Personally I like it, but there are definitely some people that didn’t find it in their taste.
So overall would i recommend it if the premise is enticing for you, and is interested in seeing a bit different animation style. But if you have a hard time with the first episodes or don't like the animation style they are going with, would I recommend you find another anime to watch.
notsenn
its good as im reading the manga too. i think what im going to say is just about a personal style that i like. i dont really like the style, and they keep reusing the same shot again and again and again. i think the animation feels a bit "stiff". i also dont like the way they change the scene, feels poorly made but i can understand that. overall i love it. yes its a very slow paced progress and too much awkward, shy, cowardly moves from Mie and Komura, but again its understandable. kinda reminds me of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-San on first season.i can see it made alot of progress like they did.
im really waiting for season 2!!
sorry for my poor english.

I think the anime is okay to good, but mainly because of the animation, which was definitely something for me, in 2 and even the 3D animation. Story: 5-6 A typical story of a boy loves a girl and thinks he will never be able to get together with her, the support because of the forgotten glasses provides one or two good moments but after 13 episodes the fun factor also decreases quite a bit Characters: 5-6 Kaede Komura seems pretty annoying after a while, but he is by no means the worst protagonist in a romantic comedy that has ever existed in anime and somehow there is somethingpositive to be gained from him
Ai Mie
A scatterbrained but likeable protagonist who is most likely to bring something in the way of development and feeling over the course of the series and works well that way
Animation: 7-8
These have a wide range of colors and look very good. I'm always happy when you get the feeling that the makers have put so much thought into details and little things and not just a few moments that look very good and the rest goes like this
In the end a slice of life story to relax, story not exactly unknown, has humor here and there, and great pictures
Cynthesia
Yet another anime featuring a herbivore male and a quirky female’s adolescent relationship, one of the more annoying trends in recent anime in my opinion. It’s no secret that the average anime romcom has always been 90% com and 10% rom but reducing half of the face of the show to a complete blank slate has never sat right with me. That aside this managed to be a fairly enjoyable experience all things considered. GoHands are pretty ambitious when it comes to their production style in recent times, opting for super detailed character features, most notably the hair, and unique angles/perspectives. Episode 1 is alittle jarring, I think they tried a bit too hard with the “one shot” type effect as the ‘camera” moves through the school but the rest of the show works great. It’s a really unique aesthetic, especially for the genre it’s in where most studios go for a more streamlined style. It definitely feels like a work in progress at times but I thought it worked very well. The couple ends up being… fine. Komura can get on my nerves a little with how incredibly dense and self loathing he is, although I can sympathize a little after reflecting on my own intrapersonal relationships in middle school. I would’ve liked if he gained a little self confidence through his relationship with Mie, e.g Otonari Tenshi, but he mainly ends up being one note. On the other end Mie was great. She’s definitely an above average ditzy character and I loved her absolute lack of personal space. They pulled out all the stops to make her as cute as possible and it really shows, Shion Wakayama did a very good job conveying all her little noises. I also liked that she even started going on the aggressive in the last quarter of the show which helped it not feel like a drag which was very much appreciated since the first three quarters were pretty by the book. I would’ve liked if Komura received some of the same development but watching her lay it on thick was still more than enough sugar for the soul. While the story rests on it’s tropes pretty heavily, it provides a unique aesthetic and is more than enjoyable enough for anyone looking for some sweetness.

This anime was quite good. But if you ask me it's a masterpiece or not I will definitely say NO. ANIMATION The animation was gorgeous and amazing. Its an 10/10 for the animation. No problems with it STORY In some places, the story felt boring but the last 4 eps were really good. The story progressed quite a lot in these eps and it was fun to watch too. But in the middle of the anime I felt bored due to the lack of story progression. The plot was a quite wierd. There are a lot of wierd things in the romance genreitself but this story also got one of it.
CHARACTERS
We don't have a lot of character, so it's quite easy to keep track becoz the sole focus of this anime was on the 2 main characters. We don't get to see a lot about the other characters in this anime maybe in the upcoming seasons i guess.
On the whole it is a light hearted romance anime btw two middle schoolers which is quite fun to watch. If you like romance genre a lot then this anime is a best one for ya. The story plot was pretty wierd but its fun

This anime has a main character (MC) that really tests the audience's patience. The MC is written to be so childish and unrealistic, it feels like watching a loser as the protagonist. It’s frustrating, especially since this isn’t the type of genre I usually enjoy—I prefer dramas, which tend to have more depth and complexity. As a romantic comedy (romcom), the story follows the usual formula. It’s nothing special, but it works. However, the author adds conflicts that make the audience cringe because of how the MC acts. The male lead is the typical shonen character—innocent, naive, and constantly overreacting to everything. He’s completely clueless aboutromance, and the plot always protects him from facing any real consequences, thanks to the romcom’s plot armor.
The MC’s success is mostly due to these typical romcom tropes, which carry him through the story despite his obvious flaws. If this had been a drama, things would’ve been much more interesting and intense. Watching such a naive character deal with real emotional challenges would have made the story way more satisfying. In a drama, the stakes would be higher, and the MC’s struggle with romance would have felt much more rewarding.
Overall, despite its flaws, this anime is still worth watching for a romcom. The visuals are enjoyable, the character designs are appealing, and the wholesome romantic comedy plot is well-executed. In short, it’s still a decent watch for fans of the genre.

"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" is a charming and unique anime that captures the whimsical and awkward moments of teenage crushes. The story revolves around the endearing dynamic between the protagonist and the girl he likes, who frequently forgets her glasses. This simple premise leads to numerous heartwarming and comical situations that highlight the innocence and sincerity of young love. The art style is delightful, with expressive character designs that enhance the overall appeal. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions feel genuine, making it easy to root for them. This anime is a delightful watch for anyone who enjoys lighthearted romance witha touch of humor.

It was a decent enough show in a season that didn't have a ton going on, but I feel like it was a lot more divisive than it normally would have been due to the sometimes unconventional art style and structure of the episodes. A lot of people took issue that it was unrealistic that she forgets her glasses so frequently, but I feel like if you were reading this one story at a time as a gag manga, it would kind of have the feel that these are all different incidents spread out, whereas seeing 3 or 4 stories per episode in quick successionmakes it seem like she's doing this constantly, so possibly something got lost in translation to the animated medium that has al onger set amount of content per episode.
If you can get past the format making it seem like she's got way more of a problem than she probably does, it's cute and while the first few episodes do go crazy with the camera angles and visual tricks, it eventually settles into looking pretty good. The plot and characters are pretty standard romcom stuff, but the gags are funny enough and I liked Mie's weird "hmm" noises whenever she tries to focus on something and Komura's awkward screams whenever he's nervous. The coloring and backgrounds are actually really pretty once they get done blowing the animation budget on the first episode.
I think I liked this more when it was coming out since there wasn't a ton of slice of life going on that season I was interested in, but it's still fine. I'd probably keep up with a second season since people say the manga gets better.

#Review (short ver): *In a nutshell: Poor parents wallets. Awkward glasses breaking girl and awkward guy never blossoming love story. #PROS +Great GoHands unique Animation quality and style +Fairly cute moments? +Pleasant enough OST #CONS -Fairly frustrating nowhere moving romance-The awkward “romance” between odd characters a bit too exhausting to my taste
-Found character dynamics rather poor
-Side characters???????

*Story
A romance Anime that nuances about a girl that forgets her glasses..? I mean… A LOT. Yes she has some sort of mental defect that is moe’fied . Which for most part is rather cute, but that also means her future partner needs also be caretaker. Anyhow.. story, the idea for the most part was fairly interesting itself but somehow I found the that the whole storytelling somehow flopped hard. Lot of “cute moments” didn’t really get conveyed well enough for me nor much of happening in the story actually progressed anywhere for the most part. Story presented some moments that somewhat promised a concept of “progression” yet somehow managed to let down me as the viewer. Hard to explain without any spoilers. But somehow as far as slice of slice moeblobs go with bare minimum romance, I found this one rather lacking on every aspect when it comes to story telling and story development. Do I consider the story itself bad? No, but it definitely wasn’t any good. It’s okay enough if you like this sort of nuanced caretaker type of storytelling and are sold with this sort of “slapstick comedy?”.
Probably also should talk about the “romance” part as this is the romance Anime after all.. but I honestly cannot really comment much about romance progression. As for the most part I felt it was one sided romance jabbing with other side exploring it’s curiosity of another human being that eventually leads of self-realization. That is best way I can sum it up without giving too much away. So for the most part the “cute” moments weren’t particularly “cute” for me.
*Character
First things first. Main female lead is girl who forgets, breaks her glasses to an extreme level. She doesn’t compare to my horrible short time memory. And prescription glasses cost a lot of money.. so I feel bad for the parents. Aside that she is very lazy “my own pace” character which itself is cute stereotype but taken to an extreme level with her “issues” with forgetting I would say. Has her moe side, but I’m not big fan of her.
Whilst main male lead… isn’t much of a better character. You know those old school classic ecchi harem protagonists who don’t have balls for anything yet are degenerate to some extent, yet pull off when important stuff happens? Well.. he isn’t that… and in those Anime it works because of comical aspect. But in this Anime this guy seriously struggles … on so many levels whenever to whenever to do, say or not do, say something. So basically is extremely ball-ess, yet has some sort of odd superiority complex when it comes to main female lead character, yet acts like a creep in non ironic manner. Basically character that somehow tries to be old school stereotype but is modernized in some manner thus creating that really odd and unlikable character? At least for me.
Side characters????????? What happened to the writing there. I honestly, remember almost absolutely none of the side characters. They are like ghost characters. Few talked, but NPC A, NPC B…. that’s their worth pretty much.
*Art & Sound
GoHANDS, enough said. If you like their Animation approach and style. Then this Anime won’t disappoint you when it comes to Animation. It has great quality and unique style as per usual. It can be at times head spinning inducing because of how heavily camera rotating and movement rich at the times GoHands makes their stuff, but nevertheless I loved the Animation itself.
Music and soundtrack in general as well was good enough. Some tracks were fairly pleasant and noticeable, nothing too amazing, but well enough and fitting for most occasions.
*Enjoyment & Overall
It has interesting concept, great Animation, some cute moments but the characters kinda sucked, side characters were non existent and the whole story telling and progression felt fairly weak. But overall… I did enjoy my time for the most part even with the issues I had with this Anime. So barely 6 I would say.
#Total Score 6/10

I think it is a very good heart warming anime a good boy/girl love story but i do wish it would be english dubbed I also think that if more anime would English dubbed more people would watch them I know plenty of my friend won't watch unless it's english dubbed Let us know if you agree and also why does myanime want to tell me what to write Here are a few ideas of what you may want to include: Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? Do you think the art style is fittingfor the story?
Were the characters well-rounded? Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid?
Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way?
Do you think others will enjoy/dislike this series, even if you didn't? Why?
