| What a beautiful end. The anime was really great. I enjoyed every single episode. It was short but that wasn't a problem at all. It was just perfect. 9/10 |
| Although so short, this series was very special. The ending was at least a bit real, not over-the-top as you see in some romantic series. I'm glad there isn't any more animated material, I'd like to fill in their own (happy) story. |
| Awww such a sweet ending to a lovely easy to watch anime. |
 |
| I felt the same when I watched it back then. This one is definitely a keeper. |

| I have often wondered how this works when I watch movies, because it has never happened to me. How does he not have control over his own mouth? Normally, it can't just start talking against your will can it? Did his mommy drop him on his head when he was a baby? Is he possessed by an evil spirit? Or is it normal that people have no control over their body and I'm just "special". |

DarkBlue said: In what ways?? Are you talking about how Matsumaru was thinking one thing but saying something else? It's not a hard thing to let your mind override your heart. He knew he loved Aka but couldn't say it because everything was falling apart for him but going well for her.I have often wondered how this works when I watch movies, because it has never happened to me.

He wanted her to feel bad so even though he wanted to congratulate her he wanted her to hurt like him. Anyways, it was a very good series. I was glad it was recommended to me. It felt a bit rushed at time but it was good to see this series. Not all anime needs to be about high schoolers or hentai/echhi to be good. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| holy shit that was touching |
     |
| "President-" "I'm a manager." Had me loling all series long. So anyone know how many years we're going to have to wait for the rest of the scanlations? |
 |
| Awwwww that was so cute! totally loved it, hade some great laughs here and there, learned a bit of something about the seiyuus themselves, had a lot of fun! ^_^ Both Matsumaru and Aka were awesome characters x3 I especially loved Aka, she's so cute and talented! Her seiyuu needs more roles!!! And the OP is so cute too xD Everything was so cute, 8/10 x33333 |
 |
| loved the series especially the ending~ Umeki!~ 8/10 |
     |
| What a great series, short and sweet KI! |
 |
| Great stuff, despite being short. I dislike romance generally, but this is one of the very few exceptions. |
| Nice, short anime and pretty light hearted. |
 |
| Good drama, good humor, ending left me with a tear in my eye. What a nice little series; I thank my friend for recommending me this. |
| Didn't expect such short anime to be so great! |
 |
| We can't blame Matsu for being overboards, 1st experience of love and all PROJECTION Love this part Matsu: ...how I took out my frustration on a GIRL I like Aka: I don't think that girl is mad anymore Let's go home together -hug- It's my original line -kiss- kawaii Well the ending was really enough, I wasn't hoping for another bed attempt haha DAMN! even though it was just 12min per episode, I need more! (I saw REC long time ago maybe 2008 but never really like the plot but thank God I've given this a try 8/10 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Loved everything about this show. Can't believe it was only nine 10-minute episodes. Felt a lot longer. |
 |
| WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT ENDED WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. |
| Very good ending. Overall:8/10 |
    |
| This was Awesome. |
 |
| Awesome anime, I cant believe this. TOTALLY underrated. It felt a bit short though, so thats a very solid 9/10 from me. |

| a very sweet anime, it's just sad that it was so short.. anyone else there who has ''umai-ki'' stuck in head? :D |
| One of the best short animes I've ever watched, truly is a perfect way to end a very simple yet special love story. :) |
 |
| Really great! Unlike other mindless ecchi "romantic" ones, REC is quite realistic and lovely <3 Despite its very short show time, everything is in its right place and story development is flawless.. I really enjoyed it.. |

| Really, really liked this. 5/5 for the episode, 8/10 for the show. |
| Same as above ^ This could've made for a good movie, considering the short running time of about 11 min per ep (removing OP and ED credits). I liked it a lot! |
 |
| wow the format of this was just right. 10 min ep things went at the right pace. I was really surprise, the ending was way more than what i expected. Very good show overall |
| huh? |
| Lovely,lovely anime :) |
 |
| I think that she knows that Matsumaru-kun ... -san. |

| a nice, cute little anime :) really enjoyed watching, done in one sitting and wished there was more! |
| good shit... I approve 8/10... would've been 9/10 if there were more contents. |
 |
| Rewatching this, I think I figured out why I liked this show the first time. There's comedy, but it still manages to take itself seriously. There's sexual tension, but it doesn't seem as forceful as an ecchi anime. There's drama, but the show resolves its problems before it drags on for too long. It's one thing to be realistic, but REC manages this without getting too complicated or treating its viewers like idiots. It's just a relationship between two people and how they get by. Maybe it's because it's so hard to find an anime like this that it's so great. That's what I think anyways. |
