The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You [Season 1 Episode 24]

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You – Season 1 Episode 24: A Wild Ride of Love and Chaos

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a rom-com anime decided to throw logic out the window and embrace pure, unadulterated chaos, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is your answer. Episode 24, the season finale, is a perfect encapsulation of everything that makes this show both ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining.

The Premise: Love at a Ludicrous Scale

For the uninitiated, the series follows Rentarou Aijou, a high school boy who, after a cosmic mix-up, is destined to have one hundred soulmates. Yes, you read that right—100. And if he rejects even one, they’ll die. (Because why not add some stakes to this already bonkers premise?)

Episode 24 wraps up the first season with a bang, delivering the usual mix of over-the-top humor, fourth-wall breaks, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. Fans have been buzzing about how the show manages to balance its absurdity with genuine charm, and this episode is no exception.

What Fans Are Saying

Diving into the online discussions, it’s clear that viewers are split between loving the sheer audacity of the show and scratching their heads at its relentless pace. Here’s a quick rundown of the fan reactions:

1. “This Show Is Unhinged (And I Love It)”
   Many fans, like one Reddit user, praised the episode for its “Looney Tunes-level antics,” referencing the wild, physics-defying gags that have become a staple of the series. From Rentarou’s exaggerated reactions to the girls’ increasingly bizarre quirks, the show never takes itself seriously—and that’s the point.

2. “The Kissing Scenes Are Getting Out of Hand”
   One MyAnimeList user pointed out that the kissing scenes, which started as a cute gimmick, now take up half the episode. “If Rentarou ever gets to the stage of sleeping with them, it’ll require a whole season,” they joked. Yet, others argue that these moments are part of the show’s charm, with each kiss parodying the dramatic reactions seen in shows like Food Wars.

3. “Karane’s De-Tsundere-fy Potion Was Hilarious”
   Episode 23 introduced a potion that “de-tsundere-fied” Karane, turning her from a classic tsundere into an overly affectionate sweetheart. Fans loved the absurdity of it, with one commenter noting, “It’s like the show is mocking its own tropes, and I’m here for it.”

4. “The Yuri Subtext Is Strong With This One”
   Hakari and Karane’s dynamic continues to be a fan favorite, with their not-so-subtle yuri undertones stealing scenes. “Hahari’s reaction to their antics is how I feel about the level of yuri we’re experiencing,” one fan quipped.

5. “How Is This Even a Harem Anime Anymore?”
   Some viewers are baffled by the show’s refusal to follow traditional harem rules. “At this point, it’s less about romance and more about how many ways Rentarou can survive his girlfriends’ insanity,” remarked a Discord user.

Final Thoughts: Why This Show Works

Despite its ridiculous premise, The 100 Girlfriends succeeds because it knows it’s ridiculous. The meta humor, rapid-fire gags, and self-awareness keep the energy high, while the genuine affection between Rentarou and his ever-growing harem adds a surprising layer of sweetness.

Episode 24 delivers exactly what fans wanted: more chaos, more laughs, and a tease of what’s to come. If you’re looking for a show that doesn’t take itself seriously and just wants to have fun, this is it.

Rating: 8.5/10 – A hilarious, over-the-top finale that proves love (and comedy) knows no bounds.

Now, bring on Season 2—because we need to see how Rentarou survives girlfriend #25 and beyond.
