Like Eris said, thank you from all the meganekkos. You make a really good point about the choice to wear glasses. My meganekko friends and I only wear contacts on special occasions, usually when we're geting dressed up. Even if we had the time to fuss over contacts every day, we'd rather spend it doing something else than make ourselves look "prettier." I also would like to point out that guys with glasses are just as attractive as the girls. Even if they're often stereotyped as the geek or the mad scientist, anime does a good job of providing a good selection bespectacled bishounen, like Kyouya from Ouran High School Host Club, Tezuka from Prince of Tennis, and Yuki from Gravitation. So here's the both the guys and girls with glasses and the people who love them! ^_^ I actually came across your blog post while searching for more meganekko to cosplay (Yomiko was such a fun character to dress up as).

As for original flavor, I don't know if I'd say it was "original", but definitely "long overlooked". But yes, smart girls are more appealing to me, since I can imagine actually talking to them. Good luck on finding your own meganekko! Eris: You're very welcome, from all of the meganekko lovers out there. And I look forward to seeing your site. Johnu: It seems that many of the people who have posted a response here are in agreement - girls in glasses are attractive because of their perceived intelligence. As for Harvest Moon, I do know who you are talking about, and yes, she is quite cute and appealing.

I actually find them quite attractive myself.(I'm REALLY into girls that think, rather than girls that just want to spend your money on rediculous things and never have any idea what you're talking about.) If any of you have ever played the Harvest Moon Games, especially Back To Nature, or Friends of Mineral Town, you would know immediately what female counter part I choose when I decide to play these delightful games. Mary(Maria) is my favorite. I always thought she was the cutest. I must agree with the sentiment about meganekko.

My contender in this arena would be Sheska from Fullmetal Alchemist. Timid and little noticed, she is brilliant, and has no outstanding faults. In no way not attractive. But I honestly think the appeal behind meganekko is its original flavor. It is not boobs Boobs BOOBS to the face, and for once, if your IQ is better then a goldfish, you suddenly have a character you can associate with on a deeper level. Now if only I could find a girl like that that is also attracted to me and not previously engaged. :P (And I am not sure who Fredd is, but Pocky, the rest of us appreciate that you shared these wonderful thoughts with us, thank you) No part of read or Die was not hot.

I like her quite a bit, in addition to Haruna and Hakase. I wonder how she'll be cast in the live-action Negima. Azhrei: She does have the normal “girl in glasses” characteristics, doesn’t she?

But my love for girls in glasses has been around well before I started studying Japanese culture. As for my other projects, none of the games I'm currently working on have been announced yet, so I can't talk about them at this point. And me, I'm boring. I'm just an assistant project coordinator at a little company known as Atlus. Viredae: Emma is a good example, true. Here's hoping we get more characters like her from here on.

Anyways, one example that jumps to mind for sexy and outgoing in glasses is Emma from the game Wild Arms. Real nice there…
