So, I finally get around to starting Gintama and instantly, I hear the angelic voice of Kobayashi Yuu on an awesome girl.

HOWEVER THIS HAPPENS.

So, whats your opinion on glasses girls? Personally I think they are automatically inferior and manage to simultaneously attain the position of worst girl.

I don't particularly mind glasses girls per se... but the way they're stereotyped in anime is generally so god damn boring, like they're always either shy bookworms who make little to no impression on the viewer, or they're random side characters that are simply there for the sake of being there.

I don't know if I've ever liked a glasses girl in anime, but it never has anything to do with the glasses but only because their personalities are always so fucking boring.

I'm not sure that I can think of a single glasses girl I like in anime unless Yuki Nagato counts, so you're probably right.

Actually I lied. Somehow forgot about

I generally don't like them either, but it's not a big deal really. Wouldn't make me drop a show or affect my score.

It's usually just a physical trait, and it doesn't typically set up a personality set for the character. If you watch enough anime you'll learn that a lot of anime girls do actually need glasses, but they instead use contacts. I honestly don't mind them too much, in fact, I just set up a girl with glasses on my Custom Maid the other night.

Sometimes having glasses doesn't define a character's personality and worth. I know it's hard to believe, but it happens.

I think the whole purpose of Sa-chan is to ridicule exactly what you're complaining about. They also use Shinpachi in a similar way.

Definitely, though thankfully both dont really appear that much as the series goes on, though Sa-chan actually leads to some extremely funny episodes while otae only really detracts from them

I think shinpachi was actually meant to be just a normal character at first, then sorachi realized he created a bland character and decided to just ridicule him for the rest of the series, I still think Shinpachi being only glasses is probably one of my favorite running jokes in the seires right behind katsura always missing out on stuff and hasegawa having the most pathetic existence in the world

Also glasses girls in general are fine

Glasses can be fashionable (and even look better than no-glasses) if the person wears the right pair. The problem is that anime automatically translates 'female with glasses' to 'ditzy booknerd'.

Lol, I love that joke too. And Shinpachi turned out to be a really good character (even though his behavior is kinda inconsistent at times).

Guys with Glasses are too awesome, put glasses on almost any anime guy and it only adds to their looks. Girls, I really have no problem with glasses girls...there are many many more sterotypes that make me cringe.

I have bi-polar thoughts on shinpachi, sometimes hes likable other times hes annoying, but theres no doubt in my mind if he wasnt there it would never be as funny as it is

And even then, him cutting off
arm in benizakura was just badass, and i thought he was extremly well written in the beam saber arc, but still theres no denying hes the most bland character in the show, ironically making him much more likable when they start acknowledging that.

"which one is he? the glasses wearing a human?"

It depends on the character's personality whether I like them or not, glasses don't have anything to do with it.

Though I do really dislike that annoying "shining glasses" trope.
