Hundred

"They call it Hundred because you've seen this show hundreds of times already." I don't remember the name of the original user who said this but I do like that part in your review.

If I had to say what Hundred's weakness is, its that the show lacks any uniqueness to help it stand out more from the rest of the magic school battle anime out there. It appears as if there is a really bad cycle in Japan right now where so many.. school/harem/sci-fi anime are taking over and in my opinion not too many of them are doing so well. I mean we've ... had asterisk wars, chivalry of a failed knight and many more similar every season and each title just leaves me with mixed feelings. Now the story is simple, straight-forward yet lacks uniqueness which I believe is something that is absolutely vital in every anime & manga. Hundred is literally copy & pasted meaning if you have watched at least 2 or three titles similar to this then you can already predict the upcoming events and the relationships between characters. In addition to that, prediction the plot along with the events that are going to take place for certain episodes is sort of like a walk in the park. Now I'm not really trying to criticize Jun Misaki because other authors obviously have this idea too. They want use the re-occurring themes found in other authors work and make their own unique novel based upon those theme. That's perfectly fine however it hurts both the story and the plot in many ways because it is all too common. This is exactly why I brought up the "bad cycle" theory. If I didn't watch shows like these when they aired for a while and just got into hundred then perhaps I could've felt that the story was refreshing however, this simply was not the case. There were no exciting story developments and plot development felt weak. Most importantly though it was pretty hard for me to get excited and engaged with such meritocracy. Overall I just was not impressed with the stories presentation nor plot because it's been done too many times to the point where I really wanted to drop it.

The art & animation is actually really great. The flow of the fighting and action scenes were amazing to me. Although I could've done without the talking through most of the battles, I was, for the most part impressed seeing the duels between characters like Claire, Hayato, Emile etc. The character designs were pretty good however I still prefer the illustrations done in the light novel by Nekosuke Ōkuma over designs made by the producers at Production IMS.

Sound was pretty decent for the most part. I didn't care for the soundtracks background music nor the opening and intro songs. I did like the sound effects I think those were pretty good. The singing done in the show , sort of like pre-game musical performances were annoying. It's like they tried to add Idols to the already unnecessarily convoluted show. I don't really have too much to say about the seiyuu's involved in the show. I think their performances were pretty good. They each delivered some pretty solid lines. Overall I was okay with the sound department not too many complaints nor praise to give it.

Characters are so forgettable that I'll probably never even remember them. Hayato Kisaragi is literally copy and pasted from every other show liked this. the childhood friend romance is overplayed. The girls start to fall for generic MC kun. Fan service, fan service, Production IMS should have at least taken the time to make the fan service look good. I would love to delve more into the characters department however, because I've finished my review, I probably don't want to go back watch the show again and then edit my review again to add more details. This is simply because I feel like my review based on the characters would be more like a rant rather than an actual review. My impressions of the characters overall is that they simply needed more work to distinguish themselves from others.

My enjoyment for the series pretty low. I felt like this was a title I really should have dropped however, my goal is to see every show through regardless of how "bad" or "Awful" it is. Personally I do feel like if this show didn't rely mostly on overused plot, story and characters found in similar titles then it really could have been better. compared to chivalry of a failed knight I liked it better because even though the titles shared somewhat similar stories, failed knight, even asterisk wars, remained unique, had likable characters, and a better story introduction along with finishes. I felt like there was a lack of effort put into the creation of the Hundred anime. It was sort of like the director said "alright team, we are producing a new show, go watch every show with similar story, plot, and characters and copy it asap." However! However, they forgot about crucial part "making hundred unique." If I asked anyone whose scene this show "Hey do you remember hundred" I am roughly 92.5% sure they wouldn't remember it. Hundred fails to leave me with a memorable impression of it. Overall I wouldn't recommend hundred to anyone. I feel like there is too many imperfections to this series. Hundred is about 70% avoidable, I'd say there is a one in a "Hundred" chance of me watching this again.. I wanted to walk a Hundred miles away from my computer while watching this... okay, that last one didn't work but you get the point.. I didn't like hundred..

Story: 3/10
There's not much of a story. It's basically about the characters protecting the ship.
Art: 5/10
The art was okay, but I couldn't help but notice the glaring errors in the animation. Sometimes it was stilted and lazy. For example, there are times when someone is in 1 position in 1 frame, then they cut to someone right next to them, and then they cut to the person next to them in another position entirely. It's as if sometimes, they didn't want to put in the work of the character doing fluid animation or doing something in one frame. This is especially noticeable in the last ... few episodes.
Sound: 6/10
The music was good, especially the opening, but I didn't really like how they changed the ending song almost every episode. I think they should've just stuck to 1 song, especially since the series is only 12 episodes long.
Character: 6/10
The characters are okay. Yes, most of them are cliché, but I didn't hate them. My favorite character was definitely Hayato. He wasn't your average harem anime character whose a pussy, afraid of girls, and dense. Most of the time when he was alone with a girl, he was confident and knew what to do or say. And my favorite thing about him was that he actually chose a girl.
Enjoyment: 6/10
I enjoyed the action and romantic scenes and there was a lot of kissing, but I can't ignore the times where they used harem/ecchi clichés that made me go *facepalm*.
Final score: 6/10
It's not good, but it's not bad either. The thing that kept this series from being good was the clichés. Otherwise, when the series did things that were good, it was GOOD. I mean REALLY GOOD. I'm giving them a pass on the lack of character backstory since the ending gave an indication that there might be a season 2. I think it'll be a hit or miss for people on whether or not they like the series. I would like for it to have a season 2 because the potential is there; It's just a matter of whether or not they capitalize on it.

Hundred...huh huh...more like LA has seen HUNDREDS of these already...

We've all seen these kinds of animes, it's been quite the trend these few years, from the ones LA will take as an example that LA watched are <LA breathes in>; Infinite Stratos (the anime that started it all), Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi, Mahou Sensou, Black Bullet, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (where it REALY started to skyrocket into popularity LA thinks), Seikoku no Dragonar, Seirei Tsukai no Kenbu: Blade Dance, Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de, Trinity Seven, Absolute Duo, Isuca, Juuou Mujin no Fafnir, Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Denpa Kyoushi, Gunslinger Stratos: The ... Animation, Triage X, Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan, Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai, Lance N'Masques and if you "want" to admit it or not Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut from last season are some of the animes that does this trend to it's genre doing nothing but oversaturate the market with these bare-boned ecchi harem supernatural "main protagonist is OP" as hell done to death, is Hundred any exception?...well time to find out.

LA will say that you've read the synopsis of this anime, but this will bear repeating, LA thinks that this anime has gotten it's name not by it's signature weapon name, but for nearly outright using HUNDREDS of the typical tropes from this anime genre, let's go through this.

*Humanity is invaded by monsters trying to kill us (Juuou Mujin Fafnir, Black Bullet)
*new main male protagonist who's OP than the rest of the cast (Juuou Mujin Fafnir, Black Bullet, Kuusen Madoshi, World Break, Blade Dance etc.)
**who is challenged by one of the best warriors of the school (Asterisk, Rakudai)
*main protagonist's childhood friend is a girl but he's too dense and thinks she's a he (Infinite Stratos)
*kissing in order either suppress the main protagonist's power or make him even more OP? (that's from Campione)
*little sister who's sick and the main male protagonist went to the school to pay for her medical expenses (shades of 35 Gakuen)
*a tug of war of the main protagonist with the main love interests (EVERY FRICKIN' HAREM ANIME EVER)
*mech-suits looks like it's from Infinite Stratos.
*Trace on (from Fate stay nigh- wait what the fu-????)

Seriously, LA thinks this anime just threw whatever popular, cliched tropes from this anime genre and see what stuck...and by all standards it's cliched as hell, but with the MANY tropes it *ahem* stole from it's other previous anime genre animes, it does try to "slightly" play against the type but is blatantly obvious it's cliched as hell.

In terms of characters, almost the entire cast are cookie cutter and cliched very much like the plot, the only character that nearly felt fresh was Emile Crossfode voiced by Rumi Ookubo, she has shades of Char Dunois from Infinite Stratos and is probably one of the genre savvy character (though the main protagonist' little sister is the most genre savvy) and really because of that she was LA's favourite character of this cookie cutter checklisted cliched anime.

The animation by Production IMS is decent to nearly above average at best, from the battles to the character designs, the animation is at best decent and the battle animation are somewhat even better.

The fanservice of Hundred is there and is rather rampant typical with these kind of animes but it's "ok" as they don't fling fanservice everywhere the highest "level" of fanservice it goes is full nudity but covering up the "naught bits"...so the fanservice is hardly high.

The ending gives us an actually competent villain but squandered pretty quickly by changing who the true villain is, and like typical light visual novel anime cliches, the main protagonist saving his new home through friendship (no seriously) and harem hijinks ensues during the final scenes of anime. Overall the ending didn't help much though the build up to it was actually better than the ending it gave out.

Ok, LA knows that you think that LA absolutely hates this anime all due to it being the typical "supernatural battle harem anime with an OP protagonist"...yes it has this cliche but at the very least it does try something new, sure with an idol subplot but still. LA really can't hate this anime even if it's cliche riddled as it still has something of a focus just with the typical battle harem cliches. What LA is really saying is, LA would rather watch a cliched riddled anime with tons of fanservice than an anime that is boring in all it's elements. Hundred maybe be cliche riddled, but it wasn't boring...just "by the books" at worst and clearly isn't LA"s worst anime of Spring 2016...there's another anime that has LA's scorn on that title...

Oh, yay! Another harem/school/sci-fi/fantasy/duel light novel based anime! People say this anime is called "Hundred" because there's a "Hundred" other anime like it. I disagree. There is at least 1,000 other anime and 10,000 other light/web novels like this one.

Story: 3/10

Prepare for an exciting adventure where the main character does ORIGINAL things and has an ORIGINAL plot line—not. Take the generic setting for this type of anime—school, some kind of colorful, sci-fi, laser weapon, and monsters threatening the world—and add a generic plot. Main character meets girl -> battle -> main character meets girl -> battle then rinse and repeat. Once the girl meeting is ... all done, add a generic villain to the mix, and you've got the anime known as Hundred.

Art: 8/10

The art was what you'd expect from a somewhat popular anime for the season, not as good as stuff from KyoAni but much better than crap like Utsu Musume Sayuri or Pupa.

Sound: 8/10

I liked the OP and ED, I might not be the best reviewer of songs, but both of the songs are in my top 20 anime songs. The background music fitted well, and there isn't much that's bad about the soundtrack.

Characters: 3/10

When the author was thinking about these characters, he/she must of thought of his/her top 10 light novels/anime and of their main characters, and realized, "Oh, my! All the character traits are the same!" then decided to use those traits to create this un-original, boring main character. As for the harem, just take a couple from the list of common harem members—the loli, the big-oppai, the blonde, the pink-haired, the grey/white-haired, the tsundere, etc—and put all those parts into a couple girls.

Comedy: 4/10

Nothing you haven't seen before, but I still got a laugh or too out of this, even though I'm fairly experienced in the realm of harem/ecchi.

Enjoyment: 5/10

I didn't mind re-watching Gakusen Toshi Asterisk.

The most common criticism I see of this show is "seen it before" in terms of the story; This is very true (to the point where it seemed like the writers were following a template even), but I tend to look past that with most shows because of course that's going to happen. Most peoples' favorite show is probably a ripoff from some other show; what's important is that different portrayals of the same story reach everyone differently.

That being said, this was not necessarily one that reached me. I won't say I regret watching it, it was a nice show to pass the time with. ... It felt like they combined Buso Renkin and Kill la Kill, but rather than a complete combination of the two, it would be apt to say that it was as if Dr. Frankenstein had put the show together using the two as material.

I love when a show can have variety with powers (or weapons in this case), so Hundred has that going for it, except they didn't explore it as well as they could have (if the weapon can have over 100 different forms, then at least throw in background characters to show us some more of them). This is half of why I gave it a low score on characters, because they introduce the concept of Full-Body Armament -weapons taking their ultimate form- from episode 2, but only two characters ever achieve it (and we see those two right in that same episode); it left the other characters really lacking. The other half of the poor character score is because they all remain the same throughout the entire series: no real development from when they were introduced; no amazing insight into who they are; no heart changing moments about characters that could be considered "problematic" (except slightly for the hunters).

When I watch an action anime, I like there to be at least one goosebump inducing speech, or perhaps a nice feel-good moment (even Kill la Kill gave me that), but I can honestly say that Hundred couldn't do it for me

If you're reading this you are most likely familiar with shows in the sci-fi / romance / harem genre like IS: Infinite Stratos, Radukai Kishi no Cavalry, or Date A Live. This show is literally just a cut and paste of those shows (and it doesn't cut the good bits out either). The plot is incredibly predictable and the I wasn't surprised at all, or really had much of a reason to keep watching because it was so bland. To be honest, if you're looking for a show that is better than this, but fairly similar in content, I'd recommend IS: Infinite Stratos because it's ... basically the same as this show apart from it's done better in almost all aspects.

The story was pretty mediocre in my opinion, it really didn't stick out from all of the other anime in this genre and the plot is really generic. Hero with cool powers, some girls who are relatively uninteresting and not important, and a group of bad guys which have a grudge.

The thing is, this show looked promising in the early episodes, it had a relatively interesting concept and if it was executed correctly, it would have been a fairly decent show. However the lack of plot development and some useless romance episodes just made the main story feel tacked on. Hell, you don't even get to see the main villain properly up until episode 11, before then they are pretty much not mentioned apart from the odd name.

The art was fairly decent, there was not much to complain about but it didn't stand out much from other shows. The fight scenes were pretty good and drawn nicely but there wasn't many of them and instead just some mindless harem crap for most of the time.

The sound was also pretty good, most of the time I didn't really notice the background music or the music during fights but the OP and EP were fairly decent.

The characters also were pretty lacklustre. The protagonist just seems like the generic hero you've seen in about every other harem / sci-fi show and he is quite bland. The female characters are also generic, you've got the main girl, the rich powerful girl and the idol, generic characters with pretty minimal development during the show. Even the 'main' girl is left in the shadow a bit and you don't really learn much about her. The plot leaves you guessing on characters for the most part and it really should have done a better job at character development.

The show was a little bit boring most of the time and there wasn't really much plot development so I didn't really enjoy this show much. Most shows in this genre rely on fanservice to make up for their lacklustre plot and characters but this show didn't have much of it either.

Overall, i'd give it a 6/10 purely because it's not a terrible show, but it sure as hell can be a boring one. Shows like the first season of IS: Infinite Stratos just seem to be really similar to this show plot-wise but also much better executed and a lot more interesting.

A show about a group of high school kids called "slayers" with special powers who must battle mysterious alien creatures called "savages" that keep popping up all over the earth. Eventually, the Savages try to destroy the giant ship that holds the school the "Slayer" students live on.
I could have copied this description from a hundred other shows that have come before. There is very little here that is new and unique. I would compare the plot with "RWBY" or "Mai Otome" or ... really quite a long list could be made.
I did enjoy what character development there was in the series, ... especially with Emile Crossfode and to a lesser extent, the Class President Claire Harvey.
Criticisms: This show had the potential to be so much better, a lot of interesting characters were involved in the show but we learn precious little about most of them. The worst lapse in character development involved the evil villain mastermind Vitaly Tinyanof. She wants to destroy the ship and all its inhabitants, oh -- and the world too, presumably over a breakup? Really??

Apparently as a person who like harem and romance it drew me to this anime but I also need to make sense of what is happening which in this anime the story went from good going downhill but its not totally unbearably bad.
(be aware that even if the type of plot(any plot) is overused if used properly makes an anime great which in this case they made it in the safe line)
I can't guarantee if you love harem that yo might like this one because IMHO the harem in Infinite stratos(with a not so good but still ok MC) is better but the MC here ... is a bit better than IS.

well I could compare it to more harem like saijaku no bahamut, rakudai, Gakusen asterisk, TLR, Serei tsukai, seitokai ichizon, machine doll etc. but IS is the most similar one to this one(or Saijaku)

Well here is my review:

Story-4 it was not original but at least it was still decent ; well it was good at the start but got boring not the cliche type boring but just plain boring which made me just focus on the harem part.

Characters- 7 gotta admit there are some pretty good characters with kinda uniqueness if i may say that i think it might be an 8 but there some who are just not good.

Art- 7 the art is good but there are times the fight scenes look sloppy but It's still pretty good overall one of the strongpoints of this show

sound- 6 the op is not that good but not that bad either and ed just feels like it fits the show

enjoyment: 4 the story did not enhance the harem in this show which is what I want where the harem fits the story but it's kinda okay on how the girls gather to the MC but it's not that good and not that bad. its just decent

Recommend: if you like Infinte stratos, saijaku no bahamut,serei tsukai, machine doll; you might like this :)

I lulled me by the cover, thinking it would be a series mecha with good red humor, but it is a copy of "Infinite Stratos". Its beginning is "good" but as they pass chapters, the plot becomes boring and predictable. the series has 4 3 chapters saga saga.

spoilers
: From Chapter 7 gets boring and slow, and you have an idea of what will happen with the characters, and from chapter 10, the outcome of anime becomes absurd and ridiculous, the typical message of love and friendship .




The spoilers ended: I give a rating of 6, because comedy is good to laugh a while and entrenerte ... with the relationship of the characters, and has some good moments of action, if not a very original idea because it can get any better series this. but there are 12 chapters and more to laugh and the little ecchi which to enjoy the action.

My favorite thing about this anime is the art style. Lots of super cute girls and a couple of cute guys as well. Super visually appealing imo. Also, the musical selections are pretty good.

This show has a lot of fanservice which can be a great thing but this anime takes fanservice and just runs it into the ground. Pretty much every single episode you will see the "guy falling and accidentally groping boobs" trope. And oh the tropes! So many tropes--- makes the series very predictable... and boring.

As far as the story goes, it feels like the producers just tried to mash every anime ... ever into one. There's mecha components, rom-com components, harem components.

Hundred is the K-Mart version of High School DxD. Seriously, if you're looking for a very similar story then I'd suggest checking out High School DxD and passing on Hundred.

I was mildly intrigued when I saw the trailer for this show. It looked like pretty standard fare, but I decided to give it a chance anyway. And it fit with one of my 2017 Anime Watching Challenge goals, so I pushed through it. Honestly, if it hadn't been for that, I probably would have dropped it. I found the show to be kind of boring and a little all over the place.

STORY - 5/10:

I'm still trying to figure out what the story was. The OP main character decides to go to some school (supposedly? Although I can't remember many classes) for slayers - a ... slayer is a human infused with some kind of virus (I think?) from the savages, which are some sort of big, alien-looking monster things. I'm not really sure, because the show doesn't do a very good job of setting things up. I mean, I'm not looking for an exposition-laced info dump, but they could have done a better job of explaining the basic mythology of the world.

There's an obvious love triangle (or love square, maybe) going on, as is common in shows like this. That, in and of itself, isn't an issue. But they didn't sell the relationships well at all. Emile/Emilia is immediately in love with the protagonist because they knew each other briefly as kids and shared some traumatic experience. Claire seems to be into him primarily because he showed off how strong he was in their duel. I guess that makes some sense, since she seems pretty OP herself, and someone holding their own against her is probably impressive. Then there's the diva chick, who likes him because he saved the island.

I know I'm not talking much about the story here, but that's the problem. There isn't really a plot for the first half of the show, it's just us following the team around in an almost-slice-of-life type of storytelling, despite the giant monsters and crazy hundred-infused weapons. The plot is a mess, jumping around, disjointed, however you want to describe it. I give it a few points because it starts to coalesce a bit later in the season, but my interest had long since waned by then.

ART - 7/10:

This might be a generous score, but I did like the character models. They all looked nice, and I guess I'm a sucker for pretty blondes - Claire is quite fetching.

But the reality is that the animation is lacking. Tons of still shots, and the fight scenes are pretty lame. I was impressed with the first duel between the protagonist and Claire, but it was downhill from there. Pretty much every fight with the monsters was the same - the main dude just jumps in the air and slams his big sword down. There was fertile ground for very nice animation given the setting, but I guess they didn't have a big budget? I don't know, it was just disappointing.

SOUND - 7/10:

Voices seemed fine. The music wasn't great, especially considering one of the characters is a world famous diva.

CHARACTER - 4/10:

The characters were pretty weak. Outside of their love interest in the main guy, I'm not even sure I could tell you much about the girls. Emile/Emilia seemed almost defined by her infatuation. Claire at least had a bit more depth, given the responsibility of being in charge of the Little Garden, and the sorrow she feels for her sister. But the writers didn't go deep enough for it to really resonate. More missed opportunities.

Most of the side characters were pretty peripheral. The main guy and his sister, Karen, did seem to have a touching relationship, but that was about the only ounce of emotion I got from any of the main pairings.

The two characters that actually seemed like there might be something interesting going on were Claire's big brother and the eventual big bad, Vitaly. Apparently they were once lovers and he betrayed her, starting her on a quest for revenge. You could sense the conflicting feelings, right up to the end. I feel pretty confident in saying that I would rather have been watching their story than the one I was forced to watch instead - it seemed like there was something real there. Too bad it only comes to light in the very last episode.

ENJOYMENT - 5/10:

There wasn't much positive to say about this show from a critical standpoint. It's just not well done. I'm not sure if the source material is better, but this adaptation leaves much to be desired. I was constantly bored, and I probably would have dropped it after a few episodes if not for the anime watching challenge.

There were some good laughs mixed in, and a lot of fanservice - but even the fanservice felt disappointing, as it doesn't go all the way. There was enough boob grabbing in this show that they really could have just gone with full nudity and it would have at least added a touch of excitement. The plot and the characters sure weren't adding much.

OVERALL - 5/10:

I know I just pretty much trashed every aspect of this show, and I'm still giving it a 5/10. For reference, that's a bad score for me. It takes a lot for me to give something a failing grade. I have a great deal of respect for the creative process and the amount of energy that goes into crafting art, so if someone can put something together that gives me even a bit of entertainment, it gets a pass from me. I would have to be openly offended or disgusted by what I'm watching to give something lower than a 5. Hundred isn't a good show, but it's passable entertainment. I wouldn't begrudge someone for finding something in there that they like and enjoy - in fact, I think there's a half-decent story in there somewhere. The plot is just too much of a mess to pull it out. A defter hand at the wheel might have been able to turn this into something better.

It'd be quite accurate and detailed review if I just wrote "it's magic battle school harem". But you surely know that much from synopsis. If you are reading this review that means you want to know how is Hundred any different from other shows of this type and if it's worth watching. I'll try to answer those questions.

Hundred's story is as basic and predictable as it gets. Normally it'd mean it's "average". Not in this case. You know why I watch ecchi harems? For girls and fanservice. Instead I got some space bugs attacking earth without any reason and school kids fighting them with powers ... that were never seriously explained. My girls' screentime was wasted on story that was never fully developed and was predictable as hell. Nothing was explained and things happened just because story needed them to happen. Action scenes were simply "meh" and not exciting at all. Not to mention main villain that was just lame.
Honestly, I watched a lot harems, and it's one of the worst cases of story being simple waste of time. If there was no plot and they just sat on that damn ship all day in Slice of Life mode, this anime would be so much better.

Unlike story, characters in Hundred were actually pretty nice. While they weren't that unique, I really enjoyed their interactions with Hayato and with each other. Sadly, they didn't get enough (any?) development - other than some backstory, nothing about them changed during anime. Their characters were rather simple, but I'd say they were ok for this kind of harem.
As for the protagonist... he sucks. The "generic harem MC" might be hated character type, but at least it is some kind of character! Hayato Kisaragi on the other hand is some mannequin. He simply had no personality and was more forgettable than some mob characters.

When it comes to art and sound it's on the usual level for battle harems. Looks and sounds good, but animation sometimes lacked. Generally nothing special.
Hundred kinda lacked stronger ecchi scenes, so I can't write much about that aspect of visuals.
For some reason this show got 4 endings songs. I don't understand why was that needed.

Enjoyment? It was just painfully mediocre. I had fun when there were scenes with girls and was really bored or even annoyed when it got to serious moments.
If you aren't here for harem then I'd strongly advise against watching Hundred.

Well, that was interesting.

See, this anime shares similarities with many other animes of this type - where a bunch of characters (a guy with several girls in tow) fight some sort of alien force. Basically harem + drama + comedy + romance. Infinite Stratos, Hagure Yuusha no Esthetica, heck even Masou Gakuen HxH, and what was that one Ommyoji-centered anime? Probably Tokyo Ravens. Anyway! What sets this one apart is that it doesn't focus too much on "fighting the monsters" aspect, it isn't incredibly ecchi, and it is surprisingly sweet or even romantic at times. The whole "fight monsters" thing looks like some sort of ... unimportant backdrop, and relationships between characters take the front stage. And those relationships, albeit they're not infcredibly convoluted, and even though characters are not incredibly unique - those relationships are interesting too watch. The downside of this is... when this anime tries to be serious, everything falls apart. Still... I liked it.

Detailed breakdown:

Story: 5/10:
Romantic aspect is interesting, but the whole "we must fight creatures" thing is largely ignored. They do fight monsters on occasion, but those scenes don't seem to hold much weight. So it looks like a small harem anime with actual focus on relationship and not an the new amazing way to get into risque position. To be honest, the anime does this "accidentally fall on someone else" thing a lot, but it is different to what you'd get in To Love Ru (which takes Rito's ability to accidentally slip to ridiculous level), and does not look too ecchi. As I mentioned before, when this anime tries to be serious, it falls apart, and looks very unconvincing. Still, the whole interpersonal thing is interesting to watch.

Art 6/10:
Decent low detail modern art, very well executed. It is actually quite hard to spot CG in this anime (it is there), and though character faces have relatively small amount of detail (it is not lucky star, but it is comparable to Mahouka in visual quality), visually it looks fairly good. I liked it.

Sound 6/10:
Some interesting soundtracks there, and there was a variety in ending music:

Character: 4/10:
Main character looks generic to the point where it resembles a clone of protagonist from some other series. Thankfully he is not a bespectacled spineless otaku, and has some backbone, though he is annoyingly clueless in the beginning. One of heroines is a classic tsundere, though not an insane one, and personality of another heroine is not , say... very well defined. So, lots of stereotypical cliched characters. I found some of the side characters (Reitia Saint-Emilion and groupies of Claire) almost as interesting as protagonist, even though they barely get a chance to say or act on screen. Still they're highly cliched, though not to the point of being annoying.

Enjoyment: 6/10:
I actually liked it. It was not exactly what i expected, but romantic scenes left positive impression, and this anime did not concentrate on Dramatic moments long enough to ruin this impression.

Overall: 6/10:
I'd say it is worth a watch, mostly for romantic part and comedy elements. Some characters have somewhat cute designs. The "serious" part of the story is poorly explained, haphazard and doesn't make much sense, but if you wanted a some sort of harem-y somewhat romantic somewhat lighthearted anime that doesn't dwell in despair for several episodes for no reason, that's the one to watch.

tl;dr: Some semblance of a good character cast shines through, but pretty bad at most everything else in what is clearly a terrible adaptation.

I feel there might have been a decent story here, but the anime is so badly made that it didn't shine through much at all. The battle system wasn't explained at all. It isn't clear how anything works so it doesn't feel like there's any depth to anything and everything is random, so it isn't all that exciting. The plot feels kind of similar in that it doesn't seem to establish a larger narrative, but rather a bunch of random things happen ... unexpectedly and in the grand scheme it isn't clear at all where things are going, or even whats really going on. It felt like there was stuff in the background sure, but we don't get to see any of it. Some level of mystery is fine, but if everything up to the ending pretty much simply provides confusion and questions and not any answers at all that is a problem. The characters also had no depth. The main character's personalities in general were solid, and the dynamics between them were also decent but how that was conveyed was pretty terrible. The moments that were supposed to work for relationship development were more misses than hits and even though there was progress it didn't really feel like it. For example, the scene at the end, which is supposed to feel important because the protagonist actually picks a girl, has no impact whatsoever because the build up to it felt random and how things proceeded afterwards felt like in the long term it really wouldn't matter, so maybe from the point of view of the novels it made sense, but in context how it was framed felt so utterly pointless and terrible way to end the series. The dialogue throughout also felt cheesy and overtly drawn out with a lot of parts that felt completely unnecessary, which is especially annoying as it feels like nothing was actually explained. As a result, in general everything moved pretty slowly. The action oriented parts were fine in this regard mainly, but everything else felt like it needed to be sped up 2x.

The art and designs were mostly pretty good, with some really awful looking exceptions like the traced Replicant. The animation though, was really cheap. I think of myself as incredibly forgiving in this regard, but here it was unreasonably bad. It's a literal slide show at times. Having singing scenes where it's just pan shots with no animation, not even mouth movement for the singing character, that go on for over a minute, is incredibly awkward, and that was the general state of the show, especially towards the end. The action was usually decent enough, so I suppose they have their priorities straight, but it made the rest which was dull enough due to the bad pacing incredibly grating. The fanservice wasn't all that great either, with only a few good scenes, which really make me question what is even the point of this anime. The OP song as well as the pretty larger number of insert songs and ED songs were solid, though the animation on all the EDs felt cheap and the OP animation was only okay.

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.
