The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You [Season 1 Episode 1 to Episode 12]

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: A Wild Ride of Love and Chaos

If you’re looking for an anime that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to be ridiculously entertaining, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is the perfect pick. Produced by Bibury Animation Studios and directed by Hikaru Sato, this series is a chaotic, over-the-top harem comedy that embraces its absurd premise with open arms.

The Premise: Love at First Sight… 100 Times Over

The story follows Rentarou Aijou, a guy who’s been rejected 100 times in a row—not because he’s unlucky, but because of a cosmic mistake. A god reveals that Rentarou was supposed to have 100 soulmates, and now, to make up for the error, he must date all of them. The catch? If he rejects even one, she’ll die.

Yes, you read that right.

From the get-go, the show dives headfirst into its ridiculous premise, introducing girlfriends at a breakneck pace. Each girl is a walking trope turned up to eleven, from the clingy Hakari to the tsundere Karane, the genius Nano, and even a middle schooler with a bottomless stomach (which, admittedly, has sparked some debate among fans).

Fan Reactions: Love It or Hate It, You Can’t Ignore It

The anime has sparked a ton of discussions online, with fans divided on its over-the-top nature. Here’s what people are saying:

• “It’s like Looney Tunes with romance!” – Many fans compare the show to a cartoon, thanks to its slapstick humor, fourth-wall breaks, and exaggerated reactions. The kissing scenes, in particular, are so intense they might as well be Food Wars-level ecstasy moments.
• “The MC is actually likable?” – Unlike some harem protagonists, Rentarou is genuinely sweet and committed to making all his girlfriends happy. His sheer determination (and occasional blood-vomiting from stress) makes him oddly endearing.
• “100 girlfriends? Really?” – Some viewers question how the series will sustain its premise, especially as the harem grows. One fan joked, “If he ever gets to sleeping with them, it’ll take a whole season.”
• “Problematic or parody?” – The inclusion of characters like a middle schooler and a 30-something woman has raised eyebrows, but others argue the show is so absurd it’s clearly satire.

Standout Moments: From Baseball to Tentacle Hair

The anime doesn’t hold back on creativity. Some of the wildest moments include:
– A baseball episode where Rentarou’s girlfriends form a team to save a masochist pitcher (yes, she enjoys pain).
– A beauty contest between Nano and Mimimi that devolves into a battle of egos and ends with everyone kissing Rentarou like it’s a Shokugeki no Soma reaction.
– A tentacle porn parody where Hahari’s hair grows uncontrollably and starts strangling people. (Yes, you read that right too.)

Final Thoughts: A Guilty Pleasure Done Right

The 100 Girlfriends isn’t for everyone—it’s unapologetically ridiculous, packed with fan service, and occasionally toeing the line of good taste. But if you’re in the mood for something that doesn’t take itself seriously and just wants to have fun, this anime delivers in spades.

As one fan perfectly put it: “This show is so great 15 episodes in, and it’s still just as funny and cute as ever.” Whether you’re here for the chaos, the romance, or just to see how far the writers will go, The 100 Girlfriends is a wild, unforgettable ride.

Now, the real question is: How will Rentarou handle 99 more girlfriends? Only time (and maybe a second season) will tell.
