The Glasses Gotta Go: Difference between revisions

(moved some non-played-straight examples out of the "Played Straight" section)
Line 38:
* Kirihara Misaki, from ''[[Darker than Black]]'', tends to lose her glasses in her more [[Fan Service|fanservicey]] scenes; they're more [[Stoic Spectacles]] than [[Meganekko]] glasses and make her look more aggressive and professional. In one case, a friend stole them for ''exactly this reason'' when she decided to [[Go-Go Enslavement|dress her up as a "punishment."]] However, since Kirihara actually ''needs'' them, she spent most of that episode squinting.
* A one-time character in the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga looks absolutely stunning when her glasses are knocked off - but since she can't see a thing without them, she immediately starts groping around the floor looking for them. Usagi then starts wondering if Umino's appearance would improve as dramatically if he took his glasses off. {{spoiler|[[Word of God|According to]] [[Naoko Takeuchi]], it would.}}
* {{spoiler|Akemi Homura}} from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', as part of her [[Adrenaline Makeover]]. The taking off of the glasses is [[Justified]] by using magic to healrecreate her own eyes. This also transform her from being an [[Adorkable]] into a [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] character.
* In ''[[Heartcatch Precure]]'', Erika ends up having Tsubomi get rid of her glasses as part of her own makeover, though it doesn't initially stick - mostly because she can't stand someone so energetic. She ends up letting it stay, but she's spotted from time to time with her glasses on, but by the end of the series, she has them back on... and ends up having them off again in time for the third ''[[Pretty Cure All Stars]]'' movie.
