What is Hundred?#
Hundred is a science fiction action series that blends high-stakes combat with harem and comedy elements. The story centers on the “Hundred,” the only weapon capable of countering the mysterious “Savage” life forms that are attacking Earth.
To learn how to wield this weapon and become a Slayer, the protagonist, Hayato Kisaragi, enrolls in Little Garden, a massive marine academy city ship. Upon arrival, Hayato finds himself entangled in complex relationships: he feels a strange sense of incongruity toward his roommate, Emil Crossford, and is immediately challenged to a duel by the academy’s most powerful Slayer and “Queen,” Claire Harvey.
If you are looking to dive into the series, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Finished?#
Based on the available records, Hundred released its anime adaptation in 2016. While the anime provides a focused look at Hayato’s entry into Little Garden and his battles against the Savages, viewers who want a more comprehensive experience or deeper lore may wish to explore the source material.
Since the anime is a specific adaptation, those who feel the television series leaves them wanting more can buy the manga or light novels to see how the story develops beyond the animated episodes.
Audience and Appeal: Is it for You?#
Hundred is best suited for viewers who enjoy the “school battle” subgenre. Its primary appeal lies in the combination of:
- Science Fiction Action: The battle against alien Savages using specialized weaponry.
- Harem and Fanservice: The series leans heavily into these themes, making it a strong choice for fans of the genre.
- Academy Setting: The dynamics of the Little Garden city ship and the rivalry between students, such as the confrontation between Hayato and Claire Harvey, provide a classic school-based drama.
If you enjoy these tropes, you might also be interested in collecting some Hundred merchandise to show your support for the series.
