Their leader, Akira Souma, founded the club to develop the X-ray glasses of his dreams, but their research has been slow in between getting into quirky escapades and fighting off student body president William Satou's attempts to further cut their tight club funding. With unbounded youthful passion, these friends set their minds on making their project a resounding success.[Written by MAL Rewrite]Related Entries   MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters & Voice Actors Staff Reviews  Feb 4, 2016 In this anime of humorous absurdity, the megane (glasses-wearing) club, a tight-knit group of five high-school boys, is on a mission of extreme importance: to create x-ray vision glasses…so that they can look at hot women naked without their consent. Once you get past that…rather creepy premise, this anime is incredibly sweet with the mock-serious way the characters treat their lives as glasses-wearers, under the direction of their leader Akira, who is determined to make the world a better place for everyone with glasses.There are almost no female characters, but the relationships between all the boys are adorable (particularly all the brotherly relationships), and the... slashiness is off the charts. The animation is brightly colorful and cutely stylized: any non-glasses wearing secondary characters (i.e., the other students) aren’t even animated, they’re just literal stick figures in uniforms, which is very funny.Other than Akira, I liked the mechanical genius Yukiya and the spacey cream-puff loving Takuma; the jealous rivalry between the other two members (Mitsuki and Hayato) was a bit too spiteful for me (though I love the line “I’m not dead, but I’m only a provisional member”). Also, I guarantee that you will have “We are meganebu~” stuck in your head for days. Reviewer’s Rating: 7 What did you think of this review? Nice 0 Love it 0 Funny 0 Confusing 0 Informative 0 Well-written 0 Creative 0Show all  May 29, 2014 I don't understand the lack of popularity for this show. Yes, there is no real story, and if this is what you are looking for, you will be disapointed. But if you just want to watch a funny show with great artwork and nice characters, you picked the right one!Story: As I said, nothing outstanding here. It doesn't bother me because I understand this is not the most important thing in this anime, but I was a bit disapointed that nothing happened. Did they or will they ever finish the X-Ray glasses?!Characters: The characters in this show are simply great! This is a slice of... life type of anime, which allows a lot of focus on the characters and it was well handled. Most of them get at least some development and some of them (about 2-3) get full development. They are a lso really funny and unique.Art: This was my favourite part. It is bright, colourful, fresh and really nice to watch. The ending animation was especially nice.Sound: The voice acting is solid and the music is great, I felt like it fitted really well with the show and I enjoyed most of the songs.Overall: I reallt enjoyed this show. It made me laugh most of the time, but also made me gow ''awww'' at other times and even made me sad. The only bad side to it for me is that sometimes I find there is too much focus on side characters when they could try to create a sold story instead. I would recommand it to anyone who wants to laugh their asses off, because this is what happened to me in almot every episode! Also, there are some yaoi hints in there if you like that genre.

It could be seen as inspirational, i personally found this anime inspirational by the theme of 'No matter what life throws at you, keep going, for you.' This silly, comical anime surprised me with was how some episodes were very touching, it made me tear up. What I liked about this anime was the art. Very colorful and happy. The sound was okay, sometimes i felt the music didn't match. Character, i loved the characters. I loved how the main character was very passionate for the love of glasses. I loved how they all stuck... together, their friendship was strong. I enjoyed this anime very much. 9/10 Reviewer’s Rating: 9 What did you think of this review?
