This week I watched the first 9 episodes of The 100 Girlfriends who Really Really Really Really Really Love You. I’d already read the manga so I knew what to expect, but wow. This adaptation really cranked things up to eleven. I mean, the manga was basically already there but they took all of the best, worst, and most cursed scenes and just amplified the hell out of them. 10/10 adaptation. I really look forward to seeing what they do with a certain other character, though I worry I’ll have to wait until at least the third season to find out.
The adaptation has been excellent…and that has definitely turned some people off through the series. I mean, there are definitely some problematic elements of the Rentarou family, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.
It’s understandable. That scene with the vice principal in the second episode? Oh boy. The animation staff certainly ran wild with it. Probably the most cursed thing to ever have graced my TV.
