----------------------------------------
Really great animé. Loved the ending, for once it was perfect.
It was well worth watching, and they didn't make it too long. Sometimes when animés are too long the middle part is just stupid or far too chaotic, with everything allways getting interrupted because some stupid character barges in. That gets pretty tiring after a while, but this one was just perfect.

lol, don't read the manga then. I hate that too, but it still happened in the anime, if only for a short time.

Mostly in the extra episode, there wasn't enough interference to make it annoying.

Sometimes you need to watch something with a perfect ending so REC delivers :). I liked it.

episode 9 was excellent. i've rarely seen such smooth direction. i am not saying that because of the slice-of-life part but yes, quite concise and refreshing. i wouldn't qualify matsumaru a bishie but he was quite attractive and quite real too.

I want more too, but I get the feeling that more would ruin the feeling that I'm left with.

Guess I'll have to pick up the manga sometime.

I wasn't looking forward to this show, but since it was short I started watching it and I really enjoyed it.

The pace of the series was great, everything happened at a rythm that really made me to want more after each episode, really a great short-anime.

It's really tied up together. I mean, a masterpiece of just a short production of series like this.

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.

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".

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.
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?

Great stuff, despite being short. I dislike romance generally, but this is one of the very few exceptions.
