Hundred

This is coming from a 2023 view from a perspective of a guy who doesn't watch romances at all, and I got to say this anime is BEAUTIFUL, lovely, and heartwarming. Hundred made me go as far enough as to re-watch the whole thing again and replay the ending of it, just for how amazing it was that it lives rent free in my head now, But now is the time to give ratings on each part of this series!

(remember that this is for people like me who haven't seen many romances)

Story:
So I'll keep it a buck, the story is good, but not legendary ... status or anything, It has a good pace for 12 episodes and it never falls off or gets boring, there is always something happening that will give you a reaction! And to me, that's a big thumbs up compared to sitting for 8 hours watching Naruto fillers just to get to know the characters better!

Action:
Honestly, for the amount that it had, it was REALLY good to see shounen characters doing shounen things! Especially with the girls too, you're gonna love that I bet, because I sure did lol. But in all serious, if you like your protag having BADASS moments then you're gonna love this!

Art:
Look anything that is better than the seven deadly sins is a 10 on my board, and hundred definitely deserves it, everyone looks crisp and clean and hot ASF. Plus it gave me no headache when I was watching it so that's a big plus.

Music:
OOOOO MMYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOD THAT CHORUUUSSSSS please just listen to it and how catchy the ending song is too. I'm still so mad its not on spotify anymore... Anyways a lot of the music in this show is just incredible, it keeps tensions up or mesh well with the moment. It. NEVER. falls off.

Charactrer's:
Literally do not see a flaw out of any character in this show. There are 3 main characters that I will mention since that is where the triangle is formed. But in general, I loved every single one of them due to each characteristic that differed them from each other. Be aware just because I mention these characters doesn't mean that the rest are irrelevant, there are a lot more that I'm sure you'll love and who also infiltrate the love triangle!

Kisaragi Hayato: Hayato had a rough time as a kid man.. the whole city was burning where he lived and one of his friends literally died in their hands.. OR DID SHE? but anyways this guy is a BADASS, cares for everyone and dense as all hell. You'll love him as the story goes on. He's a player even when he doesn't mean to be one :).

Emile/Emilia: This absolute BEAUTY has it all, Emile looks like the average romance character but trust me, they are A LOT MORE than you think. Emile is everything you'd wish to have, Hayato is so damn lucky to be having this person around them.

Claire:
Hohoooooo man CLAIRE my lady, she may be shy and tough at showing her feelings, but DAMN SHES HOT and adorable. Now look many people have a problem about her Pronunciation, but lets be real, the voice actors are not affiliated with European names. Yet that doesn't change the character! you'll love the balance she gives in this show.

overall, this show genuinely deserves a 10/10 due to how great it is for people who don't watch romances usually. It hooked me in very well from the beginning and gave an incredible ending. I seriously don't get how many people hate this show for whatever reason. Its well balanced for how many episodes it provides and never fails to surprise you. Hope you enjoy and have the same reactions as I did! Because this show, is truly beautiful, and captivating!

Hundred doesn't feel like an original show. It feels like it takes the formula of Infinite Stratos and them changes it up to make it seem like it's an original project. But, it's really just Infinite Stratos. If you like that, you'll like this show. If not, it might be a hard show to watch.

Story:
The story doesn't really stand out. It's mainly a harem story that happens to include mecha action with a post-apocalyptic type storyline. The issue is that it doesn't really attempt to dive deep into this past apocalypse much. It just feels like a simple plot device to explain the new ... technology. They also didn't do a great job with explaining the world. They just named off some countries and expect you to care about them. If you want people to buy into them, you have to take the time to worldbuild.

Art:
The art was pretty good. The coloring looked good, and they used 3D imaging for the mecha action scenes, which made those scenes look crisp.

Sound:
The VA work was pretty standard for the industry. The music was forgettable though. Nothing interesting in regards to the BG, or the themes.

Character:
This show had some character issues. Not that the characters were uninteresting, but rather they did nothing with potentially interesting characters. They had characters that had good backgrounds, but then relied on anime tropes in order to fill them out instead of giving them more realistic personality traits. This show's characters fell to the classic harem character design instead of opting for more advanced character building.

Enjoyment:
I kind of liked this show. It spent much of my time hoping it would do something different, but knowing it never would. This hurt the enjoyment some, but the show was never a bad one. Just not something I would call original.

Overall:
This show was above average. It lacked in the character department, but it had an interesting premise and world that had some promise. But, like many light novel anime, it falls prey to typical story developments and anime tropes that keep it from feeling like a unique product.

This is one of them Mecha titles from recent years that were a complete disappointment, is not even original as it plays and feels so much to Infinite Stratos that seems a remake of that fiasco... with the exact same issues. The main character motivation is his sick sister that is transfer to a military hospital in exchange for him to join the ranks, thats it, so simple that is boring. The story plays like a harem without the jokes, and boy it needs some. The story is a mess on its simplicity, aliens are attacking, a special squad is deployed, the MC is OP ... when losses consciousness, and thats it mostly. There are some twists here and there, but nothing that you can't see coming, the truth is that it never gets anywhere. The only positives are the animation and design, is a colorful world, light toned, pretty decent animation for 2016, but none of this really improves the quality of the story, no matter how many oppais and butts they focus on the screen.
