So, what can I say? This anime is a simple middle school romance with no major conflicts or big ambitions. It doesn’t try to be deep or revolutionary. The goal is clearly to be cute and easy to watch, and for the most part, it succeeds at that. But it definitely has some noticeable flaws.
The main idea revolves around Mie constantly forgetting her glasses and having to depend on Komura, which leads to a lot of awkward and cute moments, even if they are exaggerated. The problem is that the anime relies a bit too much on this formula. Many episodes follow almost the exact same pattern, and after a while, that can start to feel repetitive for some people. Personally, I felt like it lasted just long enough without completely overstaying its welcome. I also felt that there was real progress in…

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…

This anime has a main character (MC) that really tests the audience's patience. The MC is written to be so childish and unrealistic, it feels like watching a loser as the protagonist. It’s frustrating, especially since this isn’t the type of genre I usually enjoy—I prefer dramas, which tend to have more depth and complexity.
As a romantic comedy (romcom), the story follows the usual formula. It’s nothing special, but it works. However, the author adds conflicts that make the audience cringe because of how the MC acts. The male lead is the typical shonen character—innocent, naive, and constantly overreacting to everything. He’s completely clueless about romance, and the plot always protects him from facing any real consequences, thanks to the romcom’s plot armor.
The MC’s success is mostl…

"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" is a charming and unique anime that captures the whimsical and awkward moments of teenage crushes. The story revolves around the endearing dynamic between the protagonist and the girl he likes, who frequently forgets her glasses. This simple premise leads to numerous heartwarming and comical situations that highlight the innocence and sincerity of young love. The art style is delightful, with expressive character designs that enhance the overall appeal. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions feel genuine, making it easy to root for them. This anime is a delightful watch for anyone who enjoys lighthearted romance with a touch of humor.

I can summarize my feelings on this anime as follows: I have nothing really bad to say about it. A few minor things, but nothing really bad. I enjoyed it.
This anime is about an early teenage boy who "falls in love" with an early teenage girl. She can't see well and keeps forgetting her glasses, and he takes care of her as best he can when she does, and their relationship blooms.
Okay, the things I loved about this anime: They did not phone it in on the animation. It's really good. In fact, it's so good, at some points it almost felt they were flexing just for the sake of flexing. It was at least as good as anything Clover Works or KyoAni can come up with, and that's a high compliment. The color pallet is good, the art is excellent... I have only good things to say about it.
Also, for w…

#PROS
+Great GoHands unique Animation quality and style

#CONS
-Fairly frustrating nowhere moving romance -The awkward “romance” between odd characters a bit too exhausting to my taste
-Found character dynamics rather poor
-Side characters???????
#Review (comments/longer ver):
*Story
A romance Anime that nuances about a girl that forgets her glasses..? I mean… A LOT. Yes she has some sort of mental defect that is moe’fied . Which for most part is rather cute, but that also means her future partner needs also be caretaker. Anyhow.. story, the idea for the most part was fairly interesting itself but somehow I found…

It was a decent enough show in a season that didn't have a ton going on, but I feel like it was a lot more divisive than it normally would have been due to the sometimes unconventional art style and structure of the episodes. A lot of people took issue that it was unrealistic that she forgets her glasses so frequently, but I feel like if you were reading this one story at a time as a gag manga, it would kind of have the feel that these are all different incidents spread out, whereas seeing 3 or 4 stories per episode in quick succession makes it seem like she's doing this constantly, so possibly something got lost in translation to the animated medium that has al onger set amount of content per episode.
If you can get past the format making it seem like she's got way more of a problem than…

I think the anime is okay to good, but mainly because of the animation, which was definitely something for me, in 2 and even the 3D animation.
Story: 5-6
A typical story of a boy loves a girl and thinks he will never be able to get together with her, the support because of the forgotten glasses provides one or two good moments but after 13 episodes the fun factor also decreases quite a bit
Characters: 5-6
Kaede Komura seems pretty annoying after a while, but he is by no means the worst protagonist in a romantic comedy that has ever existed in anime and somehow there is something positive to be gained from him
Ai Mie
A scatterbrained but likeable protagonist who is most likely to bring something in the way of development and feeling over the course of the series and works well that way…

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 abs…

One of my favorite animes this season. The relationship between Komura and Mie is very nice and Mie is a very funny character. The romance that builds between them is satisfying and sweet. They did not kiss at the end or even confess. 1 star.
The trend of romance anime that builds and builds the relationship, where the characters obviously have feelings for each other but never end up actually dating is sickening. It's absolutely disgusting. While the buildup is nice and the situations are funny and it has cute, wholesome moments, this anime was never going past season 1 and we were never gonna see an actual conclusion. Feels bad man.

its good as im reading the manga too. i think what im going to say is just about a personal style that i like. i dont really like the style, and they keep reusing the same shot again and again and again. i think the animation feels a bit "stiff".
i also dont like the way they change the scene, feels poorly made but i can understand that. overall i love it. yes its a very slow paced progress and too much awkward, shy, cowardly moves from Mie and Komura, but again its understandable. kinda reminds me of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-San on first season. i can see it made alot of progress like they did.
im really waiting for season 2!!
sorry for my poor english.

The opening to this anime is extremely banger, top notch, peak animation and music. It likely made me watch more than the anime itself..
As for the story and plot, it's your typical romcom stuff, but I found it extremely wholesome and cute. The way they portrayed the characters all glittery but in a subtle fashion really made an interesting impact that increased immersion.
Story and scenarios were somewhat realistic, and you could see the characters' love for each other grow and grow. Subtle yet thoughtful. Like yeah you can imagine this happening IRL and you're not *totally* like "No way this could eeever happen IRL" like some romcoms are.
It starts off with the protagonist already in love, which is easily connected to, rather than funny coincidences like some other romcoms are. Yes this…

Same cycle as professional teaser takagi.
Slice of life
No comedy
Little romance and only kids embarrassing themselves
Nice art style.
As the title says the show leaves alot to be desired and would lead me to class it as a mid season fodder of an anime.
The cycle which is used is girl who repeatedly forgets her glasses gains friendship through her male peer who is overall a nice boy and helps her cope when she isn't able to see.
She also seems to be near blind and short sighted so everything ends up with her having to smother her face so she can kind of see what she tries to with it not actually helping. Bit unrealistic tho I'm not gonna make an issue out of it as it results in semi romantic tension between the two.
And that's literally all that's to the show.
The setting is 90% based…

Typically, the best, or at the very least most memorable, romance and slice of life anime have an engaging story and a likeable set of characters. There are countless anime out there that follow this, however The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses doesn't have any whatsoever. The main leads of this series, Kaede Komura and Ai Mie, are some of the most annoying protagonists in any romance story I've seen so far. Kaede constantly thinks and says very weird and at times lewd thoughts about Ai, while Mie's IQ drops over 1000 the second she doesn't have her glasses. The show also likes to randomly decide when Mie forgets her glasses, making it hard to stay engaged in the narratives throughout this season. The only decent aspect of this show is the actual dynamic between these two characters, but wi…

I BADLY NEED SEASON 2(even if I already read the manga)
One of the anime that I didn't expect to be this good. Actually I am more on watching reincarnation, adventure, or science fiction, but when I encountered this everything changed. I started reading the manga although it is ongoing , but still as a loyal follower of this series. Please I badly need a season 2. Now that the first season is finished, we fans of this series are eagerly waiting for next season. To the creator and studio who are doing this series. This is truly a masterpiece for me.

Is it possible to form a relationship through a girl forgetting her glasses and the boy that is in love with her, then helps her with everyday problems. But is she really forgetting them or is it just an excuse to get close to him?
The girl I like forgot her glasses is another romcom that follows two highschool students and how their relationship evolves. It works from the premise that Mie often forgets her glasses and thereby leads to lots of problems throughout her day, Komura, who has a crush on her, then starts helping her with these problems.
The premise gives room for a lot of fun and cute moments that shows how the two of them grow together. One of the aspects the anime builds a lot on is dependency and when are you helping too much, which is shown from both sides. This gives room…

Story: A boy likes a girl because she always forgets her glasses.
Animation: Sweet Lord Jesus, it's a mesmerising blend of 2.5D and 3DCG...that could it hail the comeback of the infamous studio GoHands?
If there is a lesson in AniManga that the veterans have suffered through and the newbies have not, it is that "less is more". No, I'm not talking about lowering quality for quantity; rather, it's setting expectations straight. But to that, you might say: Come on, when it comes to works from the infamous, primarily 3DCG studio that produced one of the god-awful shows of the 2010s (a la Hand Shakers), how can you NOT be excited about how the studio is going to continue wrecking source materials going forward? And my answer will be: GoHands has probably the biggest risk of producing not 1, bu…

Let's start this off slowly. I... don't mind stories that have slow starts, some may have a rough start but still managed to be a groundbreaking experience to behold. I... don't mind romance stories despite my personal dislike for them if the characters are likeable and a joy to watch without feeling unnecessary and existed for the heck of it. I... also don't mind if the animation looks mediocre or generic, it doesn't entirely determine the anime's quality as long as the story is not... boring. Yet this is what this anime has managed to pull off, a disappointment in terms of characters, visuals, and comedy itself.
Since this anime's genre is Comedy, you usually need to keep in touch with these two things in any show to make SURE it's any good, are good characters and pacing. The whole pre…

Watching The Girl I Like Forgot Glasses is like taking a trip down memory lane, to the days of high school when you first begin your teenage years. Or, if you are currently in high school, the youth experience is about meeting people and making discoveries. Don't believe me? Just ask Kaede Komura.
Despite GoHands' rather rocky reputation in recent years with their mediocre projects, this is one of those shows that worked out in the end with its animation style. The CG artwork feels alive when we see the backgrounds and character emotions. GoHands uses its digital effects that earns both praise and criticism in the past. Watching this studio's projects over the years made me realize how much they wanted to focus on their enhancing their quality. Their overemphasis on coloring and CG actual…

There’s an old sentiment that gets repeated when it comes to consuming art – everyone is entitled to their own interpretations and opinions. In the pure abstract, this is true, but it’s also true that media sometimes requires us to lean more towards certain takeaways than others. I highly doubt anyone would watch *Girls und Panzer* and come away with the sense that it was critiquing Soviet Union sociopolitical dogmatism—though I would love to see someone actually try arguing that in earnest—or that *serial experiments lain* was just everyone tripping balls on LSD and that all that stuff about “the Wired” was just a drug-induced hallucination. Yet every once in a great while, there comes a property that, either in its material as written or its presentation as shown, is a genuine Rorschach…
