I watched this anime because
Rent-A-Girlfriend (2020) Season 3 had just ended, and I was craving more harem tales. I began watching shows with the keyword "girlfriend" in them and found
Girlfriend, Girlfriend (2021) (also equally funny from its second season) and this.
Genre: Instead of being a pure romantic drama like the former or a silly sitcom like the latter, 100 Girlfriends is more of a mix between the two, with a touch of parodies of the kind we usually witness in
South Park (1997).
Biggest Strength: Each episode is fresh and unique, thus putting an end to any presumptions you may have about "harem anime being so old-school and repetitive."
Gimmicks: A new take or gimmick is the only thing making me like a romance-comedy. While
Kaguya-sama: Love is War (2019) had the "battle of wits" (
Death Note (2006) too), this one actually does not rely on singular style but brings new ones in every episode. By the 6th episode, you will be laughing at a never-before-seen "kissing zombies' attack" as all of the lead guy's four girlfriends get drugged and chase him for endless kissing. Additionally, there're some fourth wall breaks, some mind games, and a brilliant plan to have a first kiss with two girls at once.
SO, PLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH. This show needs more viewers.
