Okay hold up lol are you telling me she can't see the text book that's right in front of her face, to the point where she can't even tell two books apart? Is her eyesight seriously that bad? Idk it feels a bit off. I mean she's right up against the book lol

this is what was really offputting to me about this show. the animation is weird but it calmed down enough after the first ten minutes that i could accept it. but i just can't accept that this girl is basically legally blind and has no accommodations nor any explicit acknowledgement of her disability. she cannot tell two books apart, she can't recognize faces unless she is three cm from touching noses, she can't read the large text on a shoe locker in any capacity. this is a type of blindness that basic glasses and contacts will not fix.

i went to school with a legally blind girl as a teen, and even with her huge thick glasses she still had a giant tablet that she had to carry around in order to be able to read any worksheets (she had to open them digitally and make the text absolutely ginormous, and sometimes have the tablet read the screen out loud for her). she couldn't even use the textbook because, like Mie, she couldn't tell it apart from any other book of the same size/color, and she couldn't read the text without basically bringing the page directly to her eye.

i think that this concept would've been really really cool if the author committed to making Mie disabled at some level. it wouldn't have stopped the story from being a romcom.

not a bad show tho. just meh. a fine romance. i always like when the MC falls in love early/starts out in love. i wanna stick around for a few episodes and see if it doesn't get better.

na dude. Maybe i come back if people like it after 3 episodes, but this weird camera and cgi use is not good.
K Projekt was awesome btw.. from the same animation studio.

cute story with cute characters that aren't completely unbearable, but the animation is wacky. all the funky camera angles gives me a headache. the art style itself is cute but the animation is just not it.

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.

pretty good for a story in the romantic category

Woah, the artstyle is definitelly different from what I am used to, the camera is just following him in a constant movement, like if you set up a camera movement in an animation software. It is a bit weird. As well as the constant metalic colour to everything (Shiny).
