YMMV / The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Give how implausible it is that someone so reliant on their glasses would misplace them so frequently, some fans theorize that Ai is doing it on purpose, either as an excuse to get close to Kaede because she likes him too, or simply because she finds it convenient to have someone doting on her all the time as Kaede does. Ai bursting into tears and apologizing to Kaede for inconveniencing him so much in Episode 9, however, would suggest that this isn't the case. But on the other hand, one early episode has Ai purposely hiding her glasses out of jealousy suggesting it may be the case at least a couple of times.
• Awesome Art: While the anime adaptation's special effects can be strangely or poorly executed at times, it occasionally features some utterly gorgeous animation, with the close-up of Ai's eye in the first episode◊ standing out for how detailed it is.
• Base-Breaking Character:
  • Depending on the reader, Kaede's Covert Pervert tendencies towards Ai either make him Endearingly Dorky or a creep that's obsessed with her to unhealthy levels. There's also those who agree with the second group but think he makes it up by constantly helping Ai and respecting her boundaries the best he can.
  • Likewise, Ai is either a Cute Clumsy Girl or a complete moron that couldn't function in society without Kaede's constant help.
• Nausea Fuel: While the anime does have some nice visuals, the special effects combined with the constantly moving camera has been reported to actually cause nausea in some viewers, along with headaches. Which makes sense since it’s made from the same studio that made Hand Shakers, which was rather infamous for the way its visuals were executed.
• No Yay: In episode 12, Kaede gets....a bit too excited to see a picture of Ai as a preschooler and even says to himself "Someone arrest me, please" , leading to this reaction among some uncomfortable audiences.
