Synopsis
On their first day of high school shy Ayumi Nonomura and taciturn Tatsuki Iizuka become lost on the immense campus of Kamizono Academy. An irresistible force of nature named Torako Kageyama accompanied by her best friend Suzume Saotome appears in front of them. Led, sometimes pushed, by Torako, the girls and their classmates work through problems of school, home and adolescence.
Audience Consensus
Audience opinions on Hyakko are mixed. While some appreciate the character-driven comedy and touching moments, others find the plot lacking and the humor generic. The show is considered a decent slice-of-life anime with a strong cast, but it ultimately fails to stand out due to its inconsistent execution and missed potential.
Strengths

- Good use of classical music as background music
Weaknesses
- Inconsistent animation quality with shortcuts
- Weak or forgettable soundtrack
- Plot is lacking or non-existent, episodes can blend together
- Comedy can be generic or fall flat; show tries too hard to be funny at times
