Kimi no koto ga dai dai dai dai daisuki na 100 nin no kanodžo - Season 1

So, you don't have a girlfriend? And do you know why? Because Aijou Rentarou has them all! Do you know what your mom is doing right now? Rentarou has ALL THE GIRLS, including your mom! I'm not really into harem anime, and the idea of one with 100 girls is more of a nightmare than something exciting for me. I lean more towards quality over quantity, and I find the concept of 100 girls not particularly original. As a 'man of culture,' I suspect there might be hentai where the main protagonist is tasked with getting a similarly insane number of girls pregnant or maybe they were just all classmates. It's been a while since I saw it, but there were a lot of them... Now, I can't recall the exact name of that anime, so please just look it up yourself! What surprised me, however, was that this series manages to focus on all (six) introduced girls. Even when they're all on screen together, none explicitly overshadows the others. I can't say that one of them is the best waifu, and the rest should be forgotten. All the girls shine individually and collectively, and they're all likable. None of them are annoying, unremarkable, or unnecessary. How the authors pull it off, I don't know, but it works, holding together like a fun and slightly dysfunctional family. And what about the main hero? Does he ruin it? Surprisingly not! Rentaro Aijo may sometimes come across as an average, sometimes slightly oversensitive beta male, but that's only in moments when nothing is at stake. When it's necessary to show some of the girls his intentions, he suddenly becomes an incredible alpha – a rizzler who knows exactly what to say and do to make it work. And it does work, even for the viewer who not only enjoys the charming and fun romance but still believes in what he says and does, despite the main character already having six girls at this point. So far, not enough to make me give the series more than a 6/10, but did I mention that it's the best comedy I've seen this season? Yes, it's utter nonsense, and by nonsense, I mean truly absurd. Still, it did make me laugh almost every episode, and often several times. There's situational humor, there's absurd humor, and there's a bunch of twists on established clichés and parodies, not only of other harem anime but also of various well-known movies (Mission: Impossible even made its way into the title of one episode). Sometimes you have no idea what to expect, other times you know exactly, but even so, the joke is executed so well that you thoroughly enjoy it when it comes... A user here called it the Gintama of all harem anime, and considering all the humor the series is capable of, I understand where that comparison came from. What else to add, it's entertaining, the romance works, the characters are great, the animation is nice, and the music is pleasant. I'm still scared of how it will continue, though (the last episode hinted at around five more girlfriends, and the creators have said they won't give up and reach that hundred). Sometimes it was incredibly silly but the first season pleasantly surprised me, so I can't give it less than 7.5/10. (24.12.2023) (menos) (más)
