First of all, I'll try not to swear too much. So, is'nt it always a sign of quality if an anime makes you have strong feelings about it? I think good animes are the ones that make you relate and be truely interested in the characters, loving some of them, hating some others, and Ichigo 100% certainly succeeds in these things.
Okay, I have seen many echhi/harem animes and they all have their similarities, but never has the protagonist been even nearly as retarded as in Ichigo 100%. Usually ecchi boys have these problems like not being able to decide between girls, or thinking about sex and female parts for 99% of their time only to freak out if a girl gets close to them. They also tend to posess only one argument in a conversation, which is to repeat the girls name over and over: "Ni-ni-nishino-san?". Junpei-kun from Ichigo takes these problems to a whole different level.
The main thing that annoys me in the setting is that all the three girls are shown as truely equal, and you really can't tell which one Junpei likes the most, as his opinions seem to change in split-second mode. In most of the other Harem animes I've seen, you can tell the "favourite girl" of the protagonist even though he can't decide between her and a few others, but in Ichigo 100%, there really is'nt a main girl. Everybody can tell that in Rosario+Vampire, Moka-san is the one Tsukune likes, and the other ones an not nearly as important. But in Ichigo 100%, Junpei's favourite girl seems to always be the one he is not with at the moment.
This leads to a situation where Junpei spends time with all the girls equally and hyrts their feelings in the process. For example, he first spends some great fan service -time with Kitaouji thinking only about Toujou. Then, leaving Kitaouji behind he meet Toujou only to begin thinking about Nishino, and of course hurting Toujou. And all the time the viewer is wondering: "What the **** is wrong with this guy?".
When Junpei finally confessed, saying: "I love you, but I love others too!" and when he cried to his friend saying "I'm so unpopular", I was already carrying my laptop to the nearest industrial shredder. There was about a million situations where I was just staring at the screen of my laptop shouting "Answer her, you f****** retard!", shaking my whole computer in despair or watching with my eyes closed not being able to understand what he does to these girls.
Okay, I've focused way too much on Junpei and his problems, but that's really the main thing I got from this anime. It's like the script writers have intentionally created a character, who you'd only want to beat up if you'd see him. Keitaro from Love Hina is a really good guy, Yukinari from Girls Bravo is okay, but Junpei really is someone I only wanted to hate.
But well, there are good points in this anime: The animation is decent, most of the characters are cute, especially Toujou, and I like the school club setting, although it's pretty used nowadays. The ending theme is also quite nice. Eurodance and strawberries!
Overall, if you like to watch harem-anime thinking "I'd be way better a boyfriend for her, her and her", this one's definately for you! If you hate watching popular retards making girls cry, stay far far away from Ichigo 100% ^^
Whoa, maybe this genre is not for me :D read more
