Introduction
For most people, wearing glasses is a necessity for clear sight, but for four young girls, their spectacles mean so much more. From a teenage girl wearing her glasses with pride and a top idol who uses hers to disguise herself as a regular person, to a couple whose bent frames bring them closer together, a good pair of glasses can not only open your eyes, but also open your heart.

Megane na Kanojo exceeded every expectation I had for it. Going in, I thought it was going to be your run of the mill romance OVA- fun, but nothing to write home about. What I got, however, was a touching series of cute vignettes that capture romance in a warm and authentic fashion, free of the pretensions of a writer simply trying to impress his audience, all somehow relating back to the experience of having glasses. Beginning with the story, the format of these small, potent snapshots of the characters and their lives works out really well, and the pacing is essentially perfect. The fact that the episodes are shorter than usual, and there's so few of them, fosters a sense of beauty in them, like the fleeting yet precious moments in our own lives. Though, they're not so short so as to rob…

Megane na Kanojo is a 2010 OVA from AIC Takarazuka. It's based off of a manga by TOBi. So, I've never heard of the studio or the mangaka before and I have no idea what to expect. But let's have a look.
Story:
Basically the OVA consists of four short stories with a romance focus that all centre around girls with glasses. Very basic, slice of life stuff but without the strong comedic elements that make so many slice of life series good.
The inherent problem with the series is that it's dull and trite. The romances are very short, not even close to well developed and tying all of them into the ladies wearing glasses just seems like a desperate bid to give it some kind of defining characteristic. Like someone told the author that their writing was generic and they thought making all the…

Overall: 8/10.
Short, simple, cute, but nothing masterpiece-like.
It's kind of like those schoolgirl comedies. They are fun, and sometimes amazing, but no extremely deep plots or anything. The characters were cute with good voices. My favorite episode was probably episode 3. Each of the stories is a romance about girls with glasses. Somehow, the glasses becomes a topic of each episode. Something that could have been done abit better, and this goes for alot of anime, is more creative looking male characters. But it's worth a watch, and the episodes are pretty short, so if you are bored or have some spare time, take a short moment to watch them.
Thanks for reading.

Megane no Kanojo is a very short OVA consisting of 4 episodes that follows the love story of girls wearing glasses. Each episode is dedicated to a single girl and is about 14 minutes long including its OP and ED themes. Despite the lack of length, the OVA delivered in contents. Each episode is fun to watch being lighthearted and the pacing is very nice as the stories revolves around a girl, the glasses the she wear, their circumstances, and how they overcome the hurdles and discover what love is as the episode moves along. Each episode ends with a sense of completeness in it.
The animation is average, nothing fancy or eye candy here. The environment looks detailed enough, movements are fluid, and the character designs are interesting and stayed consistent throughout the episode.

First of all I want to give my self opinion in this anime. If you like soft kind of romance and shoujo anime then this is the right thing to watch although the only thing that many people hates about it is each arc has only 1 episode. There's a total of 4 episodes so that means there are 4 arcs. Its up to you to judge how do you like each arc but in this review I'll make sure that you will have a good time watching it!
Story (8 / 10)
The story points almost all the girls who wears "Glasses" in japanese its "Megane". All the arcs are soft-plained romance, its like a teaser on how they will fall in-love with each other and how the mutual understanding progress. All the arcs we're analyze very well so it won't be so boring even if its just a soft romance one shot episode series.
Art (8 / 1…

Each of the 4 OVAs show a segment of life, crush/love life, of 4 teenage girls who wear glasses. Unlike practically every other show which have fantasy girls giving fan service, this has realistic girls with realistic lives.
The story is short (9-10 mins), and really sweet. They are like a mini Mills&Boons novel. Yes, teenage girls will definitely give it a 10, but it something to be liked by people of all ages. Characters and storyline of all four are real and beautiful enough for a 10. Art and sound get a nice 8. I'll give enjoyment and overall an 8 because once you watch it, you desire more. Which is why i'm not giving it a 9.
If you want to watch 10 minutes of nice, sweet, innocent and romantic fun, this is it.

I'm so upset that this is just a 4 episode ova, when each episode ends you just wish it would continue. Megane na Kanojo is about the love lives of 4 girls who happen to wear glasses. Each girl gets an episode dedicated to her. The romances potrayed are lighthearted and enjoyable to watch, the characters are quirky in their own way and they don't clown around for the sake of clowning around. In just 40 odd minutes this anime made me remember what love is about - If you want to watch a short heartwarming slice of life/romance anime, look no further.
