Rentaro is no stranger to big numbers, having acquired eleven girlfriends across two anime seasons on his way to a 100-member harem, but he's got an even bigger one to his name: 7,453. That's the official number of characters that make up his iconic speech listing everything he loves about his girlfriends, delivered at the end of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2's final episode , which has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Longest Speech in Japanese Animation". Wataru Kato, the voice of Rentaro, accepted the certificate at a ceremony held today. RELATED: The Subversive Genius of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Hikaru Sato ( Dropkick on My Devil! ) directed The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You anime at Bilbury Animation Studios, with Takashi Aoshima ( Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! ) on series composition and Akane Yano ( And you thought there is never a girl online? ) on character designs. Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa created the original manga. Crunchyroll streams both seasons and describes the story: Rentaro Aijo was rejected 100 times in middle school. He visits a shrine and prays for better luck in high school. The God of Love appears and promises that he’ll soon meet 100 people he’s destined to date. But there’s a catch—once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other. If they don’t, they’ll die. What will befall Rentaro and his 100 girlfriends in high school?
