I didn't read the manga so I don't know.
Are they really adapting everything or just skipping one scene to another.
Because it's only been 3episodes but somehow I feel like it's past 6-7episodes.
The pacing of this anime is way to fast for me to carry.
Romance anime normally goes on by really slow pace.

I read it a long time ago, so I could wrong, but manga chapters are really short. This is why you felt that there is a problem with the pacing

yeah it is surprising how fast she started to (unconsciously) like him but I'm guessing she won't realize she does for a pretty long time

Pacing is a bit strange, but overall enjoyable for me. The only thing that was a minus for me, that the whole "oops, I forgot my glasses, now I am a danger for myself and everyone around me" gimmick got pretty old pretty fast. I know that this is the main plot for the anime, but I think the girl's blindness just too over the top. Besides this, the humor is nice, so I'll keep watching. :D

It’s because the manga chapters range from normal length to really short. They haven’t skipped anything from my recollection.

What do you mean?

This Anime is like a 13 Episode sequence of the same, gimmicky, cheesy premise, beeing hammered home over and over and over again, with slight variations for each Episode. 

What did you expect the pacing to look like? xD There is no genius writing, slowly guiding us through the plot. It's just a cute girl, who can't see without her glasses...That's it. That's literally it ....How do you even pace something this flimsy? o.O

The pacing seems off because this isn't an adaption of an arc-based narrative, but more of an episode gag-based story. There are plenty of other anime that have been similar, such as Kugaya-sama, Kubo, Ice Guy and The Dangers in my Heart. Dangers and Kubo did some remixing of times and events to twist the format into something more episodic. All three also had manga that developed into longer form stories. I have no idea if Glasses' manga does that, but right now it seems to be happy to be purely episodic, with little to no flow from one storylet to another. It's probably why I won't be finishing this one. Right now it feels like it has all the narrative flow as reading a few Garfield strips.

The show does skip around as far as the timing of events, so definitely need to pay attention to realize that different events are happening on different days.

But I honestly don’t understand when people say the comment, “too fast for romance to develop” ?

There is the “love at first sight”, then there is the “relationship builds over time”, then there is everything in between.

Saying it is too fast for them to “like each other” or “fall in love” is limiting romance to some set framework in a box, but I don’t think that’s fair.

We can see that Komura was actually in love with Mie the whole time, but he didn’t really interact with her before, he just watched her from a distance.

Then we see Mie forget her glasses the first time, this motivates Komura to start talking to her and offer help, which Mie definitely notices and likes.

From then on, the anime is about Mie continuing to “forget her glasses”, making up excuses each time, so that her and Komura can keep interacting with each other, because she actually likes him, but Komura doesn’t notice it because of his lack of confidence and personal insecurities.

In this last episode, when she realized Azuma was the one helping her, not Komura, she was surprised, disappointed, and apologized for being so casual, which shows that she only intended to be that way with Komura, not other guys.

Mie also stated that she didn’t understand why people were asking about her and Azuma liking each other, and then said to Komura “I would understand people asking if you and I liked each other”, explaining its because they are around each other all the time, then she even openly states that she likes Komura.

So although I agree that the timing of events is a little confusing, I do not agree that it is too fast for romance to develop between the two main characters.

This makes sense. I was thinking about why she kept forgetting her glasses and if it was purposely done to get closer to her crush. I think this explains nicely.

Regarding why Mie has the habit of forgetting her glasses check
Said chapter explains the fundamental (albeit shallow) reason how she got that habit.

Her forgetting her glasses will evolve into another reason later on:

I'd add on to that that the anime actually spells this out in the opening.

You see Mie reading a book with her glasses on and then getting up and taking her glasses off and changes clothes and then goes out to meet Komura in the same clothes she just prepared. So the opening tells you that she is doing it on purpose. If it's a fully conscious thing is another matter.

Sorry I came off as a bit stand offish myself. I know what you mean in regards to trailers. We've all seen the attack on titan final season trailer or the chainsaw man trailer. And yes openings to shows often show things that don't reallly happen within the scope of the show. I just meant to point out that even if it is a dream or something the team behind the openining went out of their way to include that scene to maybe tell or show something. And in this case it fits this:

She may be doing it intentionally. But subconsciously. Norio-Sensei the author from Bokuyaba once said "Did you know? For a first love, there's a time lag between when people start liking each other and when they notice that feeling" and what's presented here would fit this quite nicely. Well in this case the male is fully aware of it but the female isn't. Remember the end scene of episode 2 when she realized that she subconsciously has been only watching Komura on their "date" but can't fully grasp why?

Mostly just adapting the manga correctly. It’s a slow burn romance which is mostly just fluff but randomly has some very good introspective scenes.

Pacing is fine. People get close fast. That’s normal.

God dude I was fine until the second half. The dude is worrying about the love letter misunderstanding but he had at least 4 ways he could have fixed the situation. Instead he acted cringe the whole time only for this Chad Azuma to not only give him a push in self confidence but also clear up the misunderstanding.
I can handle some teenage angst but damn this dude just takes it to another level of nervous,cringe,weird,beta,virgin type of character.

Dude has like zero self awareness too, she hands Azuma a love letter he knows she just found on the floor. But that rocks him so hard that's he's just like "I suck dick and everyone wants to fuck Azuma..pft and I mean why wouldn't they want a Chad over a bitch boy like me"......even tho said bitch boy has gone to pick glasses with her on a semi date and been around her to the point even she knows people should ask her about being so close to MC......just get NTR'd dude!



Mc Is just so wussy to me that he'd leave her meowing at a bag while people walk by laughing and going "wtf is that bitch meowing at a bag" and let the whole class misunderstand her for a good amount of time cause he's too chicken shit to talk or do anything other than full body shake so hard he cum blasts his zipper off.

Sorry just had to vent, I can handle some of that stuff but they gave us too much this episode. Ep 1 and 2 were fine but this one sucked.
