I'll never get the people who come in here like "this show is just a outer a guy who likes a girl who forgets her glasses? A ridiculous premise!"

Like, yeah, the title should have been your first clue. All of your clues.

What a disappointment. Almost everything that makes the manga so great and special has been removed and replaced with tired tropes and over-ambitious visuals.

Mie Ai should not be a sultry airhead. She should be a goofy girl that some of her peers would think looks cute.

Komura shouldn’t be infatuated with her from the start. He should be interested and go from that like it actually would for a still-innocent middle school boy.

The animation is so wrong for this story. Ideally, it’d be KyoAni, there are a dozen studios that could have animated it more appropriately. If GoHands wants to show off, I wish they hadn’t chosen to do so by trashing an excellent manga.

A very good first episode to a new anime. The voice actors are good, the animation is brilliant but the camera angles and spins are a bit strange to watch, felt more like cut scenes in a game at those points.
I just hope that GoHands haven't spent their entire annual budget on this one episode, because it sure looks like they have.

Ai forgetting her glasses definitely made for some awkward interactions between her and Kaede. I find it quite odd that Ai's eyesight is bad enough for her to have to have her face right up against the text book.
Her falling asleep at the end was honestly hilarious, definitely wasn't expecting that.

This episode kept me constantly smiling, and Kaede having not listened to a single word in that class very much reminds me of my time at school (very relatable, did that far too many times...).

Interesting, I liked the 1st episode. About the angles, at first it might be off-putting but you get used it as they slow down its use throughout the ep. tbh i love to see scenes from different points of view, they can be used to accentuate the atmosphere or certain feelings by the MCs. Static frames that are normally present on this kind of shows are here substituted by a more dynamic approach.

A constant in the show is the use of a low-saturated color palette (20-50% most of the time), so colors don't look "vivid", but the low saturation gives a sense of softness. Visuals can be very bright at times 40-80%) and i can see why some people might find it uncomfortable to watch, mostly in scenes where windows are involved, illuminating a little too much the characters from behind.

Looking forward to what's to come!

It’s nice so far, the camera angles through me off at first but it’s actually really well done visually. Personally, the MC annoys the shit outta me so far. But obviously it’s one episode so of course I’ll give it time.

I never felt more weird with camera angles than in this episode. The angles feel unnatural and there's a lot of CGI used. I don't hate the story but the camera angles are bizarre.

I know its just the first episode...

But i didnt felt the same like when i read the manga...

PS: the camera angles/moves was well made, but completely unnecessary in my opinion... also excessive.

The story is still germinating, it seems to be following the much (over) used troupe of middle school aukward romance. The characters are nice and I hope this story has something different from all the others but...

THE ANIMATION IS FANTASTIC, seriously, even if you're not overly into Shoujo watch this first episode, I have not seen animation this good since 'Your Name'.

Before my friend reminded me about this anime, I only knew that a show about forgetting glasses was to air during Summer 2023 season. After hearing about this anime's good and unique animation, I couldn't at least not try it out. I don't regret starting this series. Visuals and animation were stellar and pleasant to watch. I hope they will represent similar high quality in the next episodes as well.

I will definitely continue watching it. I'm not a fan of romance anime, this one seems to be wholesome, at least judging by its first episode. There were some flaws I could see, or naive elements in the plot, but I was entertained enough to not drop this series just after one episode.

Interesting animations and camera angles. But goddamn the core concept itself did not get me interested.

Mie does not capture that appeal of attractiveness. And the MC(Komura) is so plain, doing the same reactions, annoying inner-monologue, a creep, like what special characteristics does he and Mie have?

The no glasses gimmick isn't going to last long here.

Hope this gets better later on... fingers crossed.

I'm a huge fan of the original series. It's probably a top 5 if not to 3 for me. With that in mind I'm skeptical with how they're handling the show. Everything seems extremely over produced and exaggerated, and I'm not sure I'm a fan given the simplicity and almost quiet vibe of the original is what draws me in so much.

The voice talent is perfect, that at least is incredibly solid. Also Mie's eyes are really, really pretty, something that was critical to get right imo.

I'm excited for the rest of this series but I'm sad that I might not be able to recommend it as much as the manga, if things progress like this episode. Still excited to see these characters moving nonetheless.

Edit: Also I HATE how creepy the protagonist comes across. In the manga, with the same dialog, he is seen as sweet and caring instead, while still being a middle schooler with urges that he tries his best to keep in check. That was totally lost in the anime.

THE GOAT OF ANIME STUDIOS, GoHands HAS FINALLY RETURNED!

The first of 2 shows that the infamous studio is producing this season, and mangaka Koume Fujichika's series is one manga that I have wanted to read for quite a long time, as a rom-com fanatic.

Masahiro Itou (Bokutachi no Remake's Kyouya Hashiba) as Komura, and Shion Wakayama (Lycoris Recoil's Takina Inoue) as Mie, couldn't have found a W ship this early in the season.

The obsession of Kaede Komura having a crush on his classmate of Ai Mie, the girl that always wears her glasses, she's quite the short, statured beauty of a pretty girl sitting next to him after the initial seating arrangement change.

But when Mie forgets her glasses, she looks absent-minded at times, though she really has to squint THIS hard. And while that's the gimmick of the manga-turned-anime series, it's that Kaede also finds her cute and pretty as such. Even sharing a textbook is dangerous for his heart, because Mie has no sense of depth of perception on how close she is to him or the things that she needs to do.

Fearing the worst of his heart being distracted by Mie's pretty eyes, Komura prepares to go back home, but he finds Mie on the ground, wearing his shoes instead of hers. Mie's friends initially give the help, but she's OK on her own, though it's not a coincidence that his shoes look exactly the same as hers. Mie's pair though, has a frog sitting on it, she's OK with it but hates the slimy stuff, so Komura helps it get away scot-free, though she eventually saw it coming. But her shoelaces come untied, and Komura has to help her in that regard as well, which she inches close to him so that she won't forget his face...though it's the same as before. Thank God it's a good thing that Mie stays near school.

Another day, and Mie forgot her glasses again, though this time it's legit that she broke them. It's worrying because they have gym class playing dodgeball, and Komura thinking that he cursed her, but he ended up being her protector, what a save. The usual class, and Mie looks like she's sleeping from afar...she's ACTUALLY sleeping, and Komura has to save her from their teacher somehow, which he comes up with the excuse that she needs to see very close to the textbook. When Mie awakens, she mistook Komura for her dad, finding her glasses, and then going back for more sleep...on his shoulder this time. What a wholesome moment that their teacher wouldn't allow, what a shame.

The blushing, heart-throbbing boy, is finally seen by the pretty girl wearing her contacts.

Say what you will about GoHands, but the studio sure as damn IS COOKING to a BIG W this Summer! Definitely a top contender THIS early in the season.

I sorta hate the animation, which seems like an unpopular take; it just feels like too much. Like idk I’d save the intense camera angles and multitude of individual locks of hair fluttering for like. Actually important or intense moments? It felt distracting imho.

I think I could get used to it, buuut I’m also not a fan of the infantilization of the girl here; it’s just annoying at best, kind of gross at worst. But, who knows, it might develop into something honestly cute! I hope so for the folks hooked.

But I’m gonna hard pass on this.

anyway the concept is fun and i like how they got so close in just a matter of 2 days. the guy is kinda wholesome too, mei is pretty cute like a little doll. looking forward to seeing them get closer.

Yeah, kids don't act like this, but middle school boys would act like that if it wasn't that in our society kids are encouraged to grow up faster and they act like they are 19 when they are 14 and like 40 years old when they are 19.

That’s not really what it’s about, middle school boys have been around girls for years and can talk to them without having strokes


You must be joking. That's the exact point when puberty hits and you start to become super self-conscious and aware of potential romantic interests.

I can't stand this shit. I can't fucking believe that every romcom mc has to be the most pathetic, most annoying, most repulsive loser ever. No human in the world would act like this. Japan, forget this trope, I fucking beg you, that's why your fertility rate drops year by year.


For people who actually think like that, how would you want the middle-schooler MC to act in that situation? If those hundreds of social media posts about guys regretting not making a move and talking to their crushes because they're too embarrassed or lack the courage are to be believed, such behavior is extremely common.

Lacking the courage to make a move and actually ask someone out is extremely different from not being able to breath the same air with a girl, screaming and whining and squirming when she gets somewhat close to you. That's not normal even if you're the shiest, most introverted middle-schooler. I want him to act like a regular guy instead of a person with low-functioning autism.
