Premieres January 12, 2025. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis of the source manga from AniList:

Aijou Rentaro tried and tried again, but after asking a hundred girls out on a date, he was rejected every single time. In desperation, he prays for guidance…only to be told by a god that his rejections were due to some cosmic error! Now the god is going to set things right by making sure that Aijou gets one hundred dates. Except, as things often do with gods, the dates come with a catch: one hundred girls are destined to be Aijou’s soulmate, and unless he returns their feelings each and every time, they’ll die in horrible accidents! Sure enough, girls start confessing their love to Aijou left and right. But how is he supposed to choose?! He doesn’t want to kill anyone! When he looks at each potential soulmate, it feels like a bolt of lightning. Can someone really love a hundred other people? This hilarious romantic comedy takes the harem concept to a wild extreme!

Anyone seen the first season? Premise seemed like weak sauce.

It's a lot of stupid fun. It's basically a parody of every harem trope you've ever seen. Really good production value as well.

Oh maybe I'll give it shot then.

Oh yeah the premise sounds dumb as fuck, but that’s because it is. It absolutely doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s great stupid fun and I’m excited for it to come back.

I started watching it but still need to finish it. It's pretty funny, as it parodies harem tropes. And one of the redeeming aspects is that the MC genuinely seems to want to make every girl in the harem happy.

I will say you probably don't need to use the 3 episode rule for this one. The first episode by itself is a good litmus test, IMHO.

Appreciate the feedback! Adding it to my list.
