Synopsis

As the deskmate of Ai Mie, Kaede Komura always has his attention fixed on her. Attracted by her cute charms, all he wishes for is that she would look at him with those beautiful eyes beneath her glasses. But just a few days after making her acquaintance, Kaede notices something different about Ai: her eyes are squinting and her glasses are missing. Nonetheless, he still finds her adorable!

Unexpectedly, Ai has a tendency to forget her glasses. Having terrible vision, she has difficulty going through her day at school. Thankfully, Kaede is more than willing to help her. As Ai starts relying on him, Kaede's feelings for her grow even more. Likewise, despite her short-sightedness, Kaede slowly becomes the person Ai always hopes to see.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

Romcoms have been pretty dry as of late and I’m not too big a fan of them, either. Most of them do the same repetitive tropes over and over and it’s not fun to watch. Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta or The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses isn’t too different from being one of those dry shows. Or is it? There are actually a number of things setting this show apart from other romcoms, so…

It’s a simple premise; a boy named Komura Kaede has a crush on a girl name Mie Ai. Mie tends to forget her glasses pretty much every day, ... (which I have to say is just utterly ridiculous) and Komura happens to get his chances at assisting her while she has impaired vision. Gradually, they’ll grow closer and closer until the magical romance stuff happens. It’s something easy to understand and follow, but it’s nothing too entertaining. I see this as a plus point, though. Apart from Mie somehow constantly forgetting her glasses, this show doesn’t overexaggerate anything as much as other typical romcoms, which makes for a nice break from them.

The comedy is a little toned down compared to other romcoms we’ve seen, and the show feels overall slow and even boring at times. This is one flaw that drags this show down, unfortunately. I usually have no problem with slow shows but if they’re so sluggish to the point where nothing seems to be happening, I’ll feel like dropping it. If this show were to expand on the idea of interesting twists, then maybe these gaps of boredom would be filled and would keep people like me motivated to watch more.

The animation handling is very good nonetheless and while it clearly shows off its flaws, it’s at least better done than some of this season’s competing anime. The main problem I see with the animation is that studio GoHands tries WAYYYY too hard with trying to make everything look smooth and flowy and ends up overdoing some parts. I’m talking about the strange camerawork and the CG used for the backgrounds blending with the 2D animation. Essentially, they’re animating in 2.5D, which sounds absurd and almost hilarious. The characters walking around the school while the camera moves at the same time made me a little nauseous and it wasn’t very nice to look at. I’m not all too familiar with GoHands and this is the first anime I’ve watched by them, alongside with Dekiru Neko wa Kyou mo Yuuutsu, but apparently this 2.5D thing is their trademark.

The music isn’t anything too special, really. The background music is just one of many that are describable in one word: “Okay”. It doesn’t really stand out, but it does its job well enough. The OP is just good. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s upbeat, I guess. I’m not too good with describing music so take that what you will. Finally, the ED, however, is… odd. It feels more fit for a more comedy-focused anime rather than something with comedy as mild as this. It feels out of place and doesn’t get the mood right.

If you’re looking for a modest show to watch this season, Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta is the anime for you. If you’re looking for something that’s more worth your time, this isn’t it. This show isn’t all that captivating and has its share of flaws, but you’ll at least find it likeable in some way.

Thank you for reading my review. (This is my first one, actually!!!)

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

“Am I supposed to be holding her hand?”

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses delves into a rather unsettling narrative, catering to a peculiar desire among certain individuals who yearn for a disturbingly infantile partner. Kaede Komura, the protagonist, becomes infatuated with his classmate Ai Mie, who suffers from poor eyesight and frequently forgets her glasses.

“I can’t not wash my hands… But maybe I can swab the sebum off my hands and preserve it.”

Kaede's fixation on Mie intensifies due to her apparent vulnerability and dependence caused by her visual impairment. Rather than being deterred by her squinting eyes and lack of common sense, Kaede's ... attraction intensifies. He eagerly becomes Ai's constant helper, exploiting her visual limitations to gain her reliance on him. Someone accurately described him as, "A seeing eye dog for Stevie Wonder." First just mundane things like sharing books, then tying her shoes like she’s a toddler, and THEN spoon feeding her like a baby, etc… In doing so, Kaede manipulates the situation to his advantage, fostering a sense of dependability while indulging in a skewed power dynamic. I hope nothing is more mortifying than watching the cake scene. However, given there have only been three episodes, it could get much worse. While feeding Mie cake (his idea), he says,

“Twelve bites to finish the whole thing.”
“I pictured her father in my mind and begged for his mercy twelve times.”

After three episodes, Kaede's infatuation evolved into a deeply unsettling obsession. Ai's visual impairment becomes the foundation upon which their relationship is built. He capitalizes on her reliance on him to strengthen his emotional hold on her. In a twisted turn of events, Kaede molds himself into the person Ai yearns to see. This blurs the boundaries between genuine affection and a disturbing fixation. If it weren’t for the over exposed lighting and upbeat elevator music, GoHand's bizarre directing paired with Kaede’s disturbing inner monologues would create a fantastic horror anime.

Despite the disturbing main character, the visuals stand out more than anything else. Studio GoHands' decision to employ their patented janky camera angles feels more like a distracting gimmick than a creative choice. It’s not quite as ugly as Hand Shakers, but it’s not very appealing either. Instead of enhancing the romcom aspects, the lack of visual cohesion pulls your attention away and nauseates you. This makes the two leads’ interactions seem more distant than cute/comical. For a romcom, these interactions are crucial, but presented with wild hair motions and cameras flying all over the place like a mosquito, you can barely pay attention.

Inconsistency between the art styles is further exaggerated by the clash between the hyper-realistic background art and the 2D character designs. I think they rendered everything with an engine like Unreal because it looks like an overexposed video game. Buildings, streets, and grass all appear to be static images, like they were lazily slapped onto greenscreen last minute. The designs are fine, a bit glossy. They were adapted from the manga by GoHands character designer who designed Hand Shakers and K. The contrasting aesthetics between 2D art and 3D backgrounds are never more obvious than anime like this.

With its horrendous adaptation, The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses disappoints manga fans while Kaede disturbs anime-only viewers. The visuals, characterized by janky camera angles and a clash between hyper-realistic backgrounds and 2D character designs, create a nausea-inducing anime. The overexposed lighting and generic upbeat music fail to mitigate the disturbing nature of the source material, so you'd be better off reading the manga. The adaptation disappoints in every category—it especially fails at its main goal: being a wholesome romcom.
