We're at a point where "Oh this cute girl can't see without her glasses" is a good enough premise for a Romance-Anime....

Cheesy as hell.

First GoHands anime that I watch so my personal goal will be to complete it without having a seizure.

That said, kind of a mediocre start overall. Komura being such a beta was tiring to see but Mie's clumsiness and cuteness slightly makes up for such irritating male MC. Not to mention I'm absolutely in love with the way her hair is being animated. It looks so detailed and fluffy I feel like stroking it for hours.

So far I'd say it's an OK adaptation.
Tbh I just really don't like the animation and all these weird camera angles, also I thought that some sound effects were weirdly placed and the jokes weren't as well executed as in the manga (I cringed at some scenes).
But there's one thing I am happy with and that's the voice actors. Komura and Mie sound pretty much exactly like I imagined them, I'm excited to hear how well the other characters' VAs are gonna match.

I do encourage everyone to read the manga tho; it's, no joke, my favorite manga, not only because of the great story, but also because of the gorgeous art. The mangaka is really good at portraying a lot of emotions without using any words, just with a few beautiful drawings.

Okay, so obviously because this is a Studio GoHands work, people will all be focusing on the animation and camera angles. Yes, I can complain all I want about the terrible composition, angles, and 3D work, but what fun is there in doing that? To be honest, it wasn't all that bad, there are far worse produced shows out there, but of course, the angles do get a bit distracting. The romcom elements themselves are decent, but I hope it doesn't get too repetitive with the comedy. Just a very wholesome, comfy show it seems. Despite its shortcomings, still probably one of the better premieres so far, but perhaps the bar has been set quite low to start this summer season.
Bar set quite low I agree there. Only one show I haven't dropped 2 minutes in so far this season and we all know which one that was.

I still cannot comprehend the reasoning behind overusage of fish eye lense, constant camera panning in hallway and closeup to still, inanimate stock imagine of grass.
This is an animation, not live action, so it requires deliberate decision to fuck this up.
If this was supposed to be some sort of flex or setting up the mood, then it failed.
Those overlay sparkles out of synch with the background looked especially awful and Main Girl's hair looks like she haven't washed it for months.
Not to mention those blatant animation mistakes, like light falling over textbook appearing and disappearing between shots.
Like, this is literally on the forefront and heavily stands out. How the hell they could miss that?

I have no clue how you guys can be impressed, while it looks like they are actually putting effort to make it look hideous. And since this episode used mostly scenes from PV which is supposed to be at it's finest, then I guess it's all downhill from there.

Pretty good premiere. I wasn't sure what I would expect given how Go-Hands gets a lot of hate just because of a single title in their portfolio, but this one, was pretty pleasing to me in every way.

As someone that enjoys CG and full CG anime I thought the use of CG models was pretty neat most of the time (there were some stiff animation in a few shots though), but there was definitely some really great animation sequences that normal 2D anime just doesn't give the proper work most of the times and in this they looked phenomenal (the starting sequence for instance). I really liked the fish eye view in some of them making the illusion that it was filmed using some sort of action camera which are pretty common these days. There's also the use of CG models to fill up the rest of the alumni in that school, which to me it's quite important in order to give the feeling that it's an actual school with more than just a couple of students taking classes.

Mie and Komaru are quite enjoyable, although I feel that our best man romcom protag from last season Ichikawa raised the bar in this field, so some interactions do feel a bit full second hand embarrasment on Komaru's behalf. But it's the first episode so there's a lot of room for improvement.

Really looking forward to this show this season I'm just watching a handful of shows rather than my average 20+

oh my days that was a very impressive first episode. cinema is here and it's a romance this season. who let tarantino cook? some of the cgi stood out but was consistent for the most part, her hair looked amazing as well. i just hope the quality doesn't drop from the next episode, because this was great. first interesting seasonal this season.
mie is very cute with her expressions as well and mc monologues are jokes, even though some things happened due to coincidences, i'm willing to let it slide as it's a romance.
mie pulled an eren jeager tho.

This might turn out to be a cute and relaxing watch. But... unfortunately GoHands have got their hands on it. It's almost unbearable when the characters are walking and moving around. The more it spends just within a closed room, the better it's for the viewers.




Maybe try sleeping?

about to drop it. i wish it was just a little bit more mature. he freaks out when she gets close to him. he backs away when she gets close to him. he gets so frantic and flustered when she is in arms length of him. i understand she is getting pretty close because she forgot her glasses but still, he should have been happy and overjoyed, not scared and backing away. not mature enough for me. so dropping, but very cute though!

WHY ARE THEY FLEXING SO MUCH WITH THE ANIMATION?!!!

In what world does a story like this get this ultra-high-level of production value?

I am only two minutes in and I am already rattled to the core.

Who deemed this necessary and why? Why are these overly complicated shots being hand-drawn over these overly-complicated camera movements? For what purpose?

You must be joking. Mostly only the backgrounds where CGI. The characters were drawn in those overly-complicated camera shots for absolutely no reason whatsoever. This is one of the most unnecessarily complicated displays of 2D character animation of all time. And I emphasize on the "unnecessarily" part because I felt like it added absolutely nothing to the narrative. Someone just wanted to hyper-flex on the plebs

in shambles rn. i personally don't care for the animation, i hate male leads who act like this, and i've yet to laugh despite this being a comedy. it's only been one episode though so i'll keep going for another 1 or 2 eps and see how i feel. my thoughts probably won't change but maybe this anime will grow on me

Oh boy, this anime reminds me of Kyoukai no Kanata where the main female also wear glasses. Mie-chan is just so cute and the first four minutes were really interesting!

Probably one of the most anticipated anime in this summer for sure.

I can't with Gohands animation style, I watched the first episode because a friend asked me to do so and I wasn't aware at first that Gohands is the one animating so as soon as I saw all that weird camera movements I wanted to clean my eyes, but I managed to finished the episode as respect, will not continue watching, Mie looks cute, but that protagonist is what they could have come with the worst possible, things like this hinders what could have been a great anime, might work for some people, but I its not for me, have fun watching if you do.

A classic example of Style over Substance. Absurd Camera angles and movements which doesnt contribute anything to the story, it feels the director was horny the entire time objectifying Mie and the other girls. I wanted to punch Komura's face every time he comments something about Mie.

Wow this is awful.

Bland MC this his boring thoughts about everything. 99% monologue.

Disorientating camera and a crapton of effects like dust and GIF eyes to make it looks like it's high quality

but where it counts (are characters cute?) it fails terribly because this girl squinting all the time looks ugly af

Dropping this. Recommend everyone else who doesn't like it to do the same. It probably won't get better and will be more of the same thing for 3 seasons.

Key points
- first 4 minutes, while it was animated well, it was excruciating to watch, camera angles all over the place and constantly warping character proportions
- cgi backgrounds don’t match the characters
- mc is literally the blandest most pathetic napkin that no human on earth could possibly relate to

Rest was fine but did not live up to the hype
That's how an average middle schooler would act. At least some that I had known acted like that. You should act like that yourself. You just forgot. I was reminded of how awkward I was since my brother was a middle schooler. All dudes around the age of 12-15 act very awkward and pathetic, especially toward girl (cause you know, that's when puberty hits). #touchgrass

maybe but imho the "awkward and pathetic" way the average 12-15 dude acts is just not interesting to watch. Specially if half of the show is about his cringe ass thoughts.

GoHands tries to flex with The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses like KyoAni recently did with Tsurune and CloverWorks with Bocchi the Rock and Akebi's Sailor Uniform... with mixed results. Don't get me wrong. They earned my respect for their daring to even try this. The execution is hit or miss. I hope they get better as the series progresses.

As for the story, I like it. It's cute and I find the flustered protagonist endearing so far. Could be the best romance of the more subdued Summer 2023 season after the previous one gave us the likes of Insomniacs After School and Skip and Loafer.

Another Ai with a pecularity with her eyes as a plot point. This time it's reasonable to assume this Ai is...

am i crazy or does the 3d environment mixed with the 2d anime characters just doesnt work well here... i swear in the first minute when the camera was moving up the stairs of the school, i saw 2 boys standing at the bottom and it looked so jagged and looked like it was slowly placed there frame by frame like bad stop motion. I really did like the character designs (even tho her hair was moving like crazy from just the slightest of head turns) and the story seemed interesting but i cant with the 3d environment it looks so uncanny. its rare for me to complain about an anime's animation but im sorry to say that it just takes me out of the wholesomeness for me to truly enjoy the story. Although i will still watch it cuz i really do like the characters and story but i just wished they didnt use 3d... ok thats it im givin this ep a 7/10

So undoubtedly the animation and camera work this episode is in a league of its own. Extremely fluid character animations with, what i think is, rendered backgrounds that have some really good light reflections. The camera work felt like i was watching a movie or game cinematic at times, felt really unique and surprising good.
There were also some absolutely gorgeous close ups, like Vivy Fluorite Eye's Song tier close ups but notched up to about 11x with their also being animation.
I do pray the GoHands also didn't blow all their money on the first episode.

Besides from that, the plot seems pretty average and straightforward SOL stuff. I'm interested what exactly they'll do for 13 episode, and wonder how deep their gonna dive into this relationship.

There were also some pretty sweet moments this ep, combined with the amazing animation i genuinely felt caught in some of it.
I will admit, for me it also felt a tad bit cheesy at times with the MC kinda getting his Neuron activated non stop this ep which after a while just felt weird, but it's still ep 1.
