Taking a break from HOLiC rants
I was just thinking about this while I was on the bus today.
I just noticed, 10 minutes ago, that in anime and manga normal rules of physics won't apply. We all knew that. We keep thinking about the obvious things (defying gravity, excess of energy, et cetera), but not so much about the small details.
Like glasses, for instance.
I don't know how many of you, friends and stalkers, wear or have wore glasses. I do, since I was 10. And one of the most annoying things about glasses, and one of the top five reasons why people keep changing to contact lens, is this one:
They slip.
Really, try to move a lot. Try to down your head. They will end up balancing at the tip of your nose. And you'll have to either take them off or pushing them back to the top.
But in anime and manga, few are the bespectacle characters whose glasses slip. And sometimes it's ridiculous. We've see every single guy with glasses in Card Captor Sakura doing sports with their glasses on. Why don't they slip or fall, that's a mystery. My theory is it must be Clow's magic working XDDD
And it doesn't limit to anime and manga. Books and movies, too! A fandom comes to mind... Imagine this scene:
Harry: Time out, time out!
Mrs. Hooch: What's the problem, Potter?
Harry: My glasses fell down. I can't see a bloody thing without them.
Mrs. Hooch: *rolls eyes*
Oliver: Everyone, look for the glasses on the ground! We need our seeker to see the snitch!
Draco: This is not fair!! It's the third time on this game that Potter's stupid glasses fell down!!! We're not going to finish this before the third millenium...
Snape: [in the benches] The same thing happened with his disgusting father, on all quidditch games... *shudders in rage*
That's never gonna happen, right? Right.
Let's face it, creators, writers and mangakas don't know a damn thing about glasses.
Except maybe Kubo Tite XD
Because all this conclusion came when I was thinking about Uryuu Ishida from Bleach, and how he keeps pushing his glasses up in this dorky, cute little way. That's what it makes him so real ^//^
Yes, I'm a rabid fangirl. So what, are you going to sue me?
Do you guys know of any bespectacle fictional character whose glasses slip? I'm curious.

Even though he doesn't move a lot, actually. All he does is stand in a spot giving orders, or sit down and ponder his plans of doom.
I can't picture the dumbass running and his glasses falling down.
