Motion comic style (like Seiyuu Sentai Voice Torm 7) in this ep. & that main guy's fear with grasshopper(?) because since he was young he thought that it's ET, while others "tries" to do the club activity without him (which doesn't seem like club activity). Megane became ultimate weapon and protection! Intermission is horn ver. of the song?

Overpowered for transparent glasses, ended up going on long travel with that long bicycle, Miyata-san's character attacking Kimura-san's character for fake megane, megane censoring raining earlier than others, wiping glasses exploded, everyone went home without Kimura-san's character while fixing the bike.

Another teacher as preview megane guy.

Fuck you Mitsuki and go die in a fire. You are a hindrance to my enjoyment.
Hayato's ignored overall but Mitsuki constantly treats him like shit. I seriously hate that.
Add his clingy-ness and overall annoyance and he's one of the worst characters this season and possibly of all time.



Also I thought they were going to ask Hayato to lead with the pedaling since he has no problem with rain but nope...
Somewhere Yowamushi Pedal is laughing its ass off at how pathetic all of that was.


Didn't completely hate the episode though because the praying mantis part was so fun.
I don't blame Akira because as soon as you get close enough to eliminate a bug they end up jumping at you and that's just not right.

I also thought that part was adorable!!!ww

And yeah I do think the rating is a bit low (I wonder why it's going down even though the episodes are getting better lol). I do think the first 2~3 episodes were pretty weak but they seem funnier now. That praying mantis part was especially really funny xD

And poor Hayato... but I do think it's funny how they all ignore him xD

omg i thought of that too and I was like, this is it right here, this is his time to shine!! but no, nobody cares for him, sobs. (I totally see what you did there, this just proves what a god-tier kind of bicyclist Onoda will turn out to be)

okay but real talk right here, these are real problems we gotta deal with in the rain, i feel that. Wipers on glasses though? Bad idea from the start lol.

I was cracking up a lot with the first part of this episode because that's totally me when dealing with any type of insect that jumps and Akira is a dramatic loser that I love. Towards the end though, I just got really bummed out to see how they treat Hayato. He is a precious child that belongs in this club just as much as anyone cuz he tries his best to make the x-ray glasses too.

Never knew cycling could turn gay! ;)

Hayato is the fifth wheel. (get it?) Megane God must have cursed him.

Fun episode. Second half made up for the boring first half. Honestly, I don't like Akira-centric moments tbh. He's a bit too quirky for my liking. Also, damn, this show always makes the type of glasses I want... Those wiper glasses are so cool. I need one. I hate rain because my lenses get blurry. Also, those glasses blow dryers are cool too.

It was definitely very relatable, I can't get close to insects either, they scare the crap out of me. It made me think how stupid I must look whenever I try to have a showdown with spiders...but Akira definitely went through drastic measures, only to learn in the end that his glasses are his best defense XD Maybe I should wear my glasses more often to protect my eyes from insects possibly flying towards me eyes!

Man, by coincidence right before watching this I decided to change my contacts for my glasses, sat down, had to clean them, then realized how disappointed these guys would be in me. My glasses are scratched to hell and back... almost can't even see out of them because of the amount of times they've been dropped, stepped on, smashed, run over, etc. and survive with only scratches. Lol.

Also, the praying mantis was probably the first thing I can relate to with Souma. That was literally how I am with cockroaches. When I go up against cockroaches I consider it an honorable duel among equals. Though, nowadays they don't bother me as much... I don't like killing em if I don't have to but I still act because they can never seem to leave me alone if I don't. :/

I pretty much knew from the get-go, but Hayato was confirmed as my favorite character this episode:
"This isn't a glasses club. It's just a bunch of high school guys in glasses hanging out together."
My thoughts since episode one. Of course that may just be my false expectations of clubs... but the only club I was ever in (anime club) was the same way. But both seem kinda niche so I dunno. Honestly Hayato is the only interesting character imo.

Aye.

If it weren't for the way he treats Hayato I might be okay with him. Perhaps he's just being tsundere.

That insect shogun showdown xD
Totally me with wasps, bees, larger spiders and larger cockroaches.

Mitsuki is getting annoying, but at least he is sort of strong in a sense unlike Nitori's damsel senpai cries.

This was the episode that is going to make me drop this anime. I realized that the content wasn't strong enough, to do more then two 15min episodic back to back shorts. Plus I don't like the way they bully Hayato. This is reverse bullying. As a person who wears glasses, if my non-glasses friends treated me like this a few time, I would be hurt.

Next episode isn't going to be a two 15min episodic back to back shorts.
They keep switching the format between full episode (episode 1 and 3) and a two 15min episodic back to back shorts (episode 2, 4 and 5).

Your last sentence reminds me that I was bullied at junior high school because I'm wearing glasses and what happened to Hayato is nothing compared to what happened to me.

I think the 2nd half of this episode is made to remind the watchers that bullying does exist in school, most anime series nowadays that takes in a school are pretty much a happy ones.

Still waiting the Student Council members to appear, though I'm guessing it won't happen until the 2nd half (episode 7~)

Takuma sleeping Yukiya's shoulder was adorable.

I have to feel sorry for Hayato, he likes glasses and just wants to be friends, but doesn't have a certain type of vision, so he's treated badly. He may not be able to relate to their experiences with glasses perfectly, but there are other experiences they can share (like catching a cold...). If he's really not 'one of them', Akira shouldn't hurt him by letting him stay and experience those things with them.

Yukiya's dejected figure...poor baby. xD

The bike, what a dreadful contraption, they were asking for trouble in general

One of the major reasons I check out anime's like this is to avoid the ever present cliche of a stroppy tsundere girl assaulting a guy...

Didn't mind this episode compared to its dramatically lame others. so it seems the show might have 'some' hope.

Hm, the first half had different textures... :O But the way they made everything appear as if in a manga (even more than before) was interesting. Depicting crowds like that looked strange at first, but it was indeed helpful when Mitsuki was shown in the train. And then Akira's homegane tentative SUKESUKE megane and the glasses god, PFFF! XD And Minabe's sulking at the end looked funny... xD

Wow. people overreacting to Mistuki, just wow.. The others share the same crime of ignoring him, but no one seems to be talking about that, bias much?

I felt a little, just a little bad for Hayato at the end.

I just realized that the OP reminds me of Haikyuu! OP. Maybe the same artiste who sang the song?

"Failure is the bridge to success" -I need to grind this inspiring quote into my head alr. And Yukiya's sad face :D

I try not to laugh whenever I see Hayato cos his height and the way he dresses make him look like an elementary sch student lols.

Poor Hayato-kun! Mitsuki shld stop bullying him D: I love Hayato the most cos he's the only sane person among the main cast.

Overall, quite a boring ep. And I learn new things around glasses each ep I watched!

Honestly, the insect repelling skit is my least favourite in this series and it's not that funny as the others to me...But the rain bromance/bonding second half is like 11/10 so this episode gets another 5/5 from me. As a megane, I relate to all of their issues. I laughed so hard when Mitsuki was imitating the glasses god lmao. And the scene with them biking with Yukiya in the front... So funny.

Woaw geez, the anime is fun overall but the discrimination against Hayato because he doesn't have glasses is really annoying big time.

Mitsuki's basically bullying him every episode. He's kinda ruining the anime. His two main personalities traits are awful : simping for Souma and hating and be jealous of Hayato. The others are awful too but they're just ignoring him at least. Edit : and now I started episode 6 and 30sec in Souma's physical as well lol nevermind, bullying Hayato is just a bad recurring joke

There I thought they were about to make Hayato be the lead of the bike, but you can see they don't even consider him worthy for anything... disappointing.
