Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta

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.

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 a ... little 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.

Mixed Feelings

"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" is definitely not for everyone, even for fans of romantic comedies. The main issue many have, including myself, is that our two characters are children. Personally, I found the anime visually stunning; the effects, animation, and color palette create a truly beautiful atmosphere. The music also adds a lot of value, and there are plenty of really cute scenes. I really like Mie-san, and her seiyuu's performance is noteworthy.

However, there are still some flaws. The most annoying one is the number of cringey scenes where the main character makes some weird noises that aren't always cute. It wouldn't ... bother me if it were more realistic or less frequent, but it's hard to ignore. Secondly, the very premise of the anime, as stated in its title, is problematic. You can guess that such a concept doesn't hold up for long. Again, it wouldn't bother me if it were just at the beginning, but I've never seen anyone forget their glasses so often, it kills the realism a bit. Even in an anime, there's still some logic to follow. It seems like there's only one secondary character, which is really not enough for a romantic comedy that's already too repetitive due to its unsustainable premise.

I still had a good time, but I'd only recommend it to romantic comedy enthusiasts who don't mind that the characters are children.

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.
