Rentarou begins his journey of 100 girlfriends. This is a show where when I think about it objectively, it’s pretty good. But personally I don’t like it. The animation is excellent, it’s decently funny (by anime standards), and there’s always something new and interesting going on. But for me it’s very draining to watch since …

A throwback to when the girl harems were mainly about becoming the live-in maid for a bunch of angsty pretty boys …
