In a remarkable feat for the world of animation, the Japanese anime series Kimi no koto ga Dai Dai Dai Dai Daisuki na Hyaku-nin no Kanojo (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You) has officially earned a Guinness World Records title for delivering the longest monologue in a Japanese animation.
The record-breaking monologue spans a staggering 7,453 characters, which translates to approximately 3,000 words—an extraordinary length for a single, uninterrupted speech in an animated series.
The anime follows the eccentric and humorous journey of Rentaro Aijo, a high school student who, after being rejected by 100 girls during intermediate school, visits a temple to pray for love. In a comedic twist, the god of love grants him a prophecy that he is destined to meet 100 girls who will all fall madly in love with him.
The monologue, rich with emotional depth and comedic timing, captivated viewers with its storytelling and earned critical acclaim for its voice acting and narrative structure. Fans and critics alike have praised the creators for pushing creative boundaries while maintaining the charm and absurdity that the series is known for.
The production team expressed their excitement over the recognition, calling it a “celebration of the power of voice acting and storytelling in anime.”
This achievement cements The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You as not only a fan-favorite romantic comedy but also a record-setting work in the history of Japanese animation.
