Hmm, yeah this anime didn't work for me. It was charming at first but it just got repetitive and very weird after a while. And I mean WEIRD. I really don't understand the 8+ manga rating. Either the anime just didn't adapt the manga well. That's the only reason I can think of.

This is a romance with Mie being the female lead and Komura being the male lead.

First of all the character of Mie. I just don't understand her. I'll put aside the fact that she keeps forgetting her glasses. She's just completely oblivious of everything around her. For some reason she has to take a good look at Komura's face everyday. I mean what?? And Komura just let's her. Obviously because he has a crush on her. You see that's what I mean by WEIRD. Wakayama Shion as the voice of Mie just felt forced because she was trying to sound too cute or childish. I'm a big fan of her voice acting. I think her role as Takina in Lycoris Recoil is one of the best out there. But here, it just didn't work. It could be because of the direction as well though. Everything about Mie's character just felt made up. She felt like a puppet, being controlled by the staff to act a certain way so that this romance can exist. How am I supposed to root for the romance when I don't understand one of the characters?

Even Komura's character is creepy at times. I'd rather not mention the scene where he gets freaked out just by bringing Mie's glasses home. The animation didn't work for me either. The more stylish it was trying to look, the more dull I found it.

But you know this anime isn't bad though. There are some wholesome moments between the 2 characters. The first half in fact is rather nice. And I thought Komura's sense of humour was very funny - the way he would constantly exaggerate and make fun of his own situations in his mind. Some of his one liners were hilarious. The voice acting for Komura did help in that.

But this anime was disappointing. I wonder how the manga readers feel about this adaptation. Because the manga would have probably been executed better.

As the title suggests, this work is a romantic work in which a man helps a woman who lost her glasses. The pattern is set. A woman loses her glasses every time, and an adolescent man helps her. The setting is fun, but it's difficult to sustain something like this for a long time. This is because the expectation that "I will do something next time" is lowered. The settings also leave something to be desired. From the middle of this work, the two characters started to like each other, but they still haven't confessed to each other. It should be so. Only then can I serialize it as a cartoon to some extent, but they told me too quickly. I recommend this work to those who want to look cute, those who like lolicon, and those who like hair.

The animated work is a masterpiece for lovers of romantic anime, for all those who didn't appreciate the work I highly recommend taking a look at the manga. Furthermore it seems clear to me that anyone who has the courage to criticize the girl I like has forgot her glasses will probably never have seen an episode of the other romantic series of this genre. The anime (and manga) offers many original and memorable situations that other series miss out on right away in the first season.

Furthermore, if compared to other contemporary series, it is clear how the manga is smooth and has clear plot developments that easily engage any reader. I hope I have expressed myself well enough and convinced anyone who is reading this to give this wonderful anime and especially the manga a chance, this series deserves much more success of the medium-high popularity it has achieved.

Praying for a second season ^^

"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" is a sweet and quirky anime that brings the awkwardness and charm of teenage romance to life. The story centers on a boy's crush on a girl who often forgets her glasses, leading to humorous and endearing situations. The animation is vibrant, and the character designs are expressive, capturing the innocence and sincerity of young love. The characters are well-developed, with genuine interactions that make you root for their budding relationship. This anime is a delightful mix of comedy and romance, perfect for fans of lighthearted and heartwarming stories. You will surely enjoy it.

"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" has an intriguing premise, promising a heartwarming story about two classmates discovering their feelings for each other. However, the execution of the first episode is mind bogglingly bad.

One of the most noticeable issues is the animation. Studio GoHands' decision to employ their patented janky camera angles feels more like a distracting gimmick than a creative choice. Instead of enhancing the storytelling, it pulls your attention away and nauseates you, making it difficult to focus on the two lead characters and their interactions. For a romcom, these interactions are crucial, but presented with wild hair motions and cameras swinging all over the place you can barely pay attention.

This inconsistency in art style is further exacerbated by the clash between the hyper-realistic background art and the 2D character designs. The designs look fine, a bit glossy, it's the same GoHands character designer as Hand Shakers and K. The contrasting aesthetics create a jarring inconstancy in the compositing.

The storyline itself is has plenty of potential to be funny, cute, and lovable, centering around Kaede's crush on Ai and her struggle with poor eyesight. However, the first episode fails to establish a strong foundation for their relationship. While Kaede's willingness to help Ai is kind, the story lacks depth and it's hard to feel anything for them. The characters feel underdeveloped, and their interactions often fall flat. It comes off as Kaede is enjoying getting to treat Ai like a child, which seems to be the anime's appeal. As a result, it is challenging to become fully invested in their budding romance or empathize with their respective struggles.

Despite these shortcomings, there are a few redeeming aspects. The concept of Ai frequently forgetting her glasses adds an interesting layer of vulnerability to her character, creating opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Additionally, the potential for exploring themes of reliance and personal growth is promising. It remains to be seen whether subsequent episodes can capitalize on these aspects and deliver a more engaging and satisfying narrative.

In conclusion, the first episode of "The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" fails to live up to its potential due to its eye searing animation style, lackluster character development, and mediocre storytelling. While the concept shows promise, it is overshadowed by the clashing visuals and a constant need to catch the viewers' attention. Hopefully, future episodes can address these issues and deliver a coherent viewing and less nausea inducing experience.
