This show was completely ridiculous. And I loved every minute of it.
There's not much that I can say about this show that I didn't already address in my first impressions post, so I'm going to keep this one short. As it turns out, my initial concerns were unfounded. Meganbu had plenty of glasses-based material to work off of, and even when it didn't, it found a way. The visual style continued to grow on me to the point that I didn't mind the neon colors anymore. The singing announcers frequently appear in the background music, thankfully not limited to the eyecatch. The top screencap is an accurate synopsis of the show: it literally is about guys with glasses hanging out. But while Meganebu may not be deep, thrilling, or dramatic, it's definitely a lot of fun.
In a flashback, the president of the club introduces himself to the school by flying in on a glasses-shaped glider. In another episode, one of the characters figures out the perfect face ratio and uses this knowledge to blind people. There's even an episode that's a parody of Jumanji. All of this is bolstered by some of the best artistic direction I've seen all year--for example, people aren't drawn as people unless they are wearing glasses. Deen should be proud of themselves; this looks like it came out of Shaft. If you enjoyed UtaPri, Miracle Train, or really any anime that is ridiculous and fluffy, you should definitely give Meganebu a try.
