Introduction to the Anime Glasses Wiki

The Anime Glasses Wiki is dedicated to cataloguing appearances of eyeglasses in anime.

Welcome to the Wiki

This wiki is under construction. Please be patient while we set up templates and categories!

Featured Glasses

Gendo's broken glasses are a pair of muted gold, square-framed, top-rimmed glasses with corrective lenses. They are mainly worn by Ikari Gendo in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

This pair of glasses is notably broken during a flashback in Episode 5 of the TV series where Gendo saves Rei from her overheating entry plug.

Featured Meta

Temple Removal is a common technique used by animators when drawing glasses viewed from the side. In order to show a character's entire eye, part of the glasses' temples (the parts that go over the ears), hinges, or end pieces are not drawn, even though they would normally obstruct the eye.

Style Descriptors

The main sorting mechanism of this wiki is a group of categories called style descriptors. Each of these categories is used to describe a certain aspect of a pair of glasses, namely lens shape, lens type, and rim coverage. There is also a category for "special styles", which contains certain common or interesting combinations of other descriptors.
