Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I figured we\u2019d stop back in with Rentaro and the gang, and see how his sacred mission to acquire one hundred girlfriends is proceeding. Look, it\u2019s not like he\u2019s a cold philanderer or anything; as has been clearly established by the suspiciously convenient worldbuilding, all of those girlfriends are doomed to perpetual unhappiness if he does not find them and date their worries away. It\u2019s a heavy burden, but given Rentaro\u2019s deft navigation of his first two true loves, I have every confidence he\u2019ll be able to manage it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rentaro\u2019s woes aside, 100 Girlfriends continues to be an altogether charming, entirely ludicrous riff on romantic comedy convention, persistently innovating on its core joke of \u201cwhat if we played this fantastical polycule entirely straight, complete with soaring string arrangements accompanying each ridiculous romantic threshold.\u201d It doesn\u2019t seem like there\u2019s much of a larger point beyond the comedy yet, but comedies don\u2019t necessarily need a thematic backbone; the faces are good and the gags are snappy, making it an energetic watch regardless. Let\u2019s see how Rentaro fares with his third destined love!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 3<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Quiet Princess, the Knight, and the Samurai.\u201d Given we bumped into this latest girlfriend in the library, I assume this title means she\u2019s an avid reader who frames the events of her own life in terms of the stories she loves<\/span><\/p>\n

And indeed, we open on the story of a princess who \u201cknows her fate is to be alone.\u201d So she clearly has trouble opening up to people, and also uses stories to process her own feelings<\/span><\/p>\n

A graceful match cut of the princess\u2019 hand leads us back to the library, assuring us that this is indeed the thought process of our new maiden<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Man, this is gonna be an awkward conversation. Rentaro decided he wasn\u2019t going to reveal the true nature of his quest in order to ensure his girlfriends didn\u2019t feel like they were being compelled into a relationship, but that consequently means he\u2019s going to have to individually sell ninety-eight more girlfriends on the existing crowd<\/span><\/p>\n

So we\u2019ve got the profoundly horny go-getter Hakari, gyaru tsundere Karane, and now this shy bookworm. I feel like we\u2019re gonna run out of harem archetypes long before we get anywhere near one hundred of these girls; Rikito Nakamura\u2019s just gonna be hip-firing new archetypes into existence for the last fifty or so<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect to run into another soulmate here and now.\u201d Statistically speaking, even with one hundred to find, it\u2019s unlikely you would have naturally run into <\/span>any<\/span><\/i> of your soulmates. Though I suppose part of the definition of soulmate could include someone who\u2019s naturally in your periphery, which is a pretty important prerequisite for a romantic relationship<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTis I, the governor of this land.\u201d Apparently she communicates through quotations from her favorite books. And she\u2019s also a librarian, which seems like it\u2019d make for a tricky combination<\/span><\/p>\n

She is also preposterously fluffy. The animators are doing an excellent job of conveying how she\u2019s essentially enrobed in her uniform like a giant blanket, while even her hair seems to entirely overwhelm her body<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here!? Is it no talking in the library!?\u201d A great deal of Rentaro\u2019s charm comes from how he immediately assumes he\u2019s the odd man out in any new situation, and that whatever\u2019s happening is totally normal. Which is also how many of these relationships work – he meets these girls where they\u2019re at, never dismissing their desires, working hard to make them feel comfortable and included<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe found conversing with people most difficult.\u201d \u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t realize. Can you help me?\u201d Yep, no challenging her on her difficulty with conversation, just a quick apology for the misunderstanding and onward to treating her normally. I suppose if there is an early theme emerging, it\u2019s mostly in how Rentaro\u2019s \u201csuperpower\u201d is just being a decent, considerate person who genuinely wants to make people happy. The story concept would make you assume he\u2019s a lech, but he\u2019s actually the opposite of most harem protagonists: someone who is always putting others before himself, always ensuring everyone is comfortable<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you have any recommendations? My favorite genre is romance.\u201d Presumably the thing she wants most, simply being treated the same as anyone else in spite of her difficulty with communication<\/span><\/p>\n

She lights up upon being asked for suggestions, and begins to scurry around the library in her hamster-like way<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNah, you picked these out for me, so I want to read them all.\u201d Another key Rentaro power, his utter dedication to reciprocating any and all acts of kindness or affection from the people around him. Nothing ever goes unappreciated by Rentaro<\/span><\/p>\n

After Rentaro is thwarted by the need for a library card, the new girl offers her own treasured book. A clear gesture of faith, given it\u2019s also her vehicle for language altogether<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her name is Shizuka Yoshimoto<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rentaro\u2019s <\/span>first<\/span><\/i> two girlfriends are busy researching recipes to dazzle him with. How is he going to find time to romance all these new girls while keeping his existing girlfriends satisfied? One Rentaro can only do so much!<\/span><\/p>\n

Shizuka\u2019s book tells the tale of Princess Io and her knight Kamakura<\/span><\/p>\n

I appreciate how the scenes of the book\u2019s story are actually animated differently, with more dramatic shading and post-processing lighting effects, as well as less rounded, more realistic character designs. A neat way of creating some separation between the two dramas, as well as visually echoing the tone of this novel\u2019s prose<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also interesting that Shizuka has a voice in her stories, but not in reality<\/span><\/p>\n

More terrific effects animation accompany some dramatic close-up compositions as Io is protected from a dragon\u2019s breath. Even the boarding has shifted now, switching to partial close-ups to convey a sense of dramatic impact over the show\u2019s generally sitcom-adjacent medium wide shots. Love how much this staff are investing in making Io\u2019s world feel distinct, which in turn echoes Rentaro\u2019s absorption in Shizuka\u2019s beloved story<\/span><\/p>\n

Ostentatious use of soft focus too, which is indeed a hit in recent self-serious action and fantasy. Nothing apparently makes a scene feel dramatic like blurring everything but the speaker\u2019s face<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love Rentaro sobbing as he gets too wrapped up in the story<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent portrayal of a nervous moment for Shizuka, as she opens her bag and reveals the second volume of her story, simultaneous excited to share it and anxious at the thought Rentaro won\u2019t be interested<\/span><\/p>\n

Her nervous faces are also very good. Extremely lively hair<\/span><\/p>\n

Her freaking out provides another example of this show\u2019s novel approach to character art, its flat shading and focus on angular extremities. Low drawing count, but excellent, personality-rich individual drawings<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its approach seems like a more effective version of what low-rent \u201cmotion comics\u201d like Way of the House Husband are seeking; capturing the specific appeal of the original\u2019s line art and remaining relatively easy to produce, but still offering a convincing animated world<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou always flip the pages and find the right words to say in an instant. You must know that book like the back of your hand.\u201d Recognizing and celebrating Shizuka\u2019s passions and talents<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am unworthy of such praise.\u201d Shizuka is of course used to being critiqued for her passions and insecurities, not celebrated<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly the world I saw through here gave me respite.\u201d Little wonder she relates to the isolated princess<\/span><\/p>\n

And though he doesn\u2019t understand why others would shun her, he immediately recognizes this means a great deal to her, and thus resolves to do something about it. A key lesson in that, coming to respect the feelings of others even when you cannot relate to their origin. Is Rentaro going to teach a generation of readers to be more considerate romantic partners?<\/span><\/p>\n

Later at the library, Shizuka struggles to reach that \u201cLove, Taiyaki, and Me\u201d volume that prompted her first meeting with Rentaro. A clear visual metaphor, Shizuka attempting to reach beyond her comfort zone, urged on by Rentaro\u2019s encouragement<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several days later, Shizuka at last overlooks Rentaro hanging out with his two girlfriends, and assumes he doesn\u2019t have time for her or for reading<\/span><\/p>\n

Oof. Brutal flashbacks to Shizuka being shamed and abused for her difficulties with communication. Also a nice composition as we cut back to her reflecting on these memories, crouched and isolated within the austere pillars of the school walkway. The sun filters in from the direction of Rentaro, but Shizuka has turned away, unable to believe she can walk in the sunlight<\/span><\/p>\n

That lighting motif carries through to the next scene, when Rentaro returns and claims he wants to repay Shizuka, accompanied by cuts to the sunlight filtering in through the window<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh my god, my boy. Rentaro personally rewrote the entirety of the first volume as a digital file, all so Shizuka could more easily communicate with a text-to-speech app. He is truly a gallant knight!<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, he did it all by typing it into his goddamn phone, the lunatic<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even begin to imagine how hard it is for you to talk out loud. So I can\u2019t bring myself to push you to do it. But\u2026 I did want to make it easier for you to communicate with others, and I hope this helps, even a little.\u201d Understanding that others struggle with different problems than you, even invisible ones, respecting those problems, and working to accommodate them rather than judging them for their differences. Rentaro really is just a standup guy<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not because she\u2019s my soulmate, or because I have to save her life, or anything like that. I truly, genuinely just\u2026\u201d It\u2019s a tricky line to navigate, but really the only way this story will work – genuine, spontaneous love with each new girlfriend<\/span><\/p>\n

And the explanation to his two prior girlfriends actually turns out okay! Hakari\u2019s into it, at least<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Now that was an excellent episode! After two episodes that focused largely on the inherent ridiculousness of this premise, as well as lampooning various soft targets in the romance and harem genres, it was delightful to learn that 100 Girlfriends can actually pull off some thoughtful, dramatic material as well. Rentaro\u2019s bond with Shizuka felt earned in spite of this show\u2019s natural contrivances, and I was particularly impressed with how the show handled Shizuka\u2019s difficulties with communication. 100 Girlfriends is swiftly demonstrating that, in spite of Rentaro’s natural tendency to find soulmates wherever he glances, his <\/span>actual<\/span><\/i> strengths are his consideration, attention to the needs and feelings of others, and commitment to making the people he cares about happy and comfortable – you know, all that \u201cjust being a good person\u201d stuff that actually makes for a healthy relationship. I\u2019m starting to really believe he\u2019ll make all these lovelorn ladies happy!<\/span><\/p>\n
