Premieres January 12, 2025. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the first season from AniList:

Rentarou Aijou was rejected 100 times in middle school. He visits a shrine and prays for better luck in high school. The God of Love appears and promises that he’ll soon meet 100 people he’s destined to date. But there’s a catch—once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other. If they don’t, they’ll die. What will befall Rentarou and his 100 girlfriends in high school?

I watched the first season, partly because some reviewers pointed out that it depicted the multiple relationships of the protagonist more like an actual polyamorous relationship than a typical harem anime. I would have to agree with this specifically in regard to the first half of the season when there are two or three girls involved with the protagonist. He actually goes out of his way to understand the needs of each partner and diffuse conflicts between the girls.

However, this dynamic breaks down fast when more girls are introduced, and the show rapidly devolves into a typical harem comedy, losing any aspect of realism or wholesomeness. Because of that I have no interest in the second season as I expect it to only get worse.

I gave the first series a pass when it was on, is this something worth binging to catch up for?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I prefer the manga, simply because it's easier to gloss over the parts that I'm less interested in. The anime adaptation is quite good though and the animation in the comedic scenes is well paced and high quality.

Id say not. But you do you

The guy is using a.i art to create the characters, don't watch it because it may also be a.i writing in certain rumors since he stood so low to use a.i

I've never heard about this and I can't find anything on the internet either.

Oh shit where are you seeing this?

My wife and I started to enjoy this show initially but some of the age gaps raised some eyebrows

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I haven't started this yet. What kind of age gaps?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

The biggest age gap is between the MC, aged 16 and his 89 year old girlfriend, who is the grandmother of his other girlfriend. As you can see, this series takes itself very seriously.

One of his "girlfriends" later is...14.

Edit: ICK. One of his cousins later becomes one.

She is 12.

......

Oh jeez. That's worse than I thought.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

And the subreddit is completely okay with this. They're like "oh he HAS to date his cousin because she will die..." "It's fiction" "it's a harem anime, incest was expected" etc

Without ever stopping to think...you know the mangaka could have just said "no I'm not writing that?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I think no one really pays attention to fictional age in anime. People tend to enjoy the show.

Are you new to manga and anime?
