Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta

When your impression of a show keeps oscillating between zero and five stars, you end up with a neat average of 5/10. The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses could be a pleasant romantic comedy, assuming that: 1) You find the main heroine's behavior endearing rather than resembling a medical diagnosis (like dementia or autism) 2) You enjoy the hero's inner monologues, even if they come off as awkward or painful, because you share his fetishes and insecurities. 3) You don't see a discrepancy between what the hero thinks and what he actually says. 4) You managed to sit through the first episode without feeling dizzy or needing motion sickness medication. 5) You don't know anything about animation techniques and directing. 6) You embrace the unconventional camera angles and see them as highly original, not just random shots from odd places. 7) You tend to overlook any perspective problems, especially when characters get a bit deformed in those crazy camera shots. 8) You're a fan of hyperrealistic backgrounds and interiors, where every frame could double as wallpaper, while ignoring how strange it looks when characters pop up in front of them. 9) You don't notice the robotic or unnatural movements of some characters, particularly when they're walking. 10) Repetition within the plot or in certain shots (hello hyperrealistic backgrounds) doesn't bother you. 11) The fact that the entire plot could possibly be resolved with a simple eyeglass strap? Well, that's just part of the charm. If you manage to tick off all these boxes, then perhaps the show will be an enjoyable watch for you. On a positive note, the music gets a pass from me.
