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

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..

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!

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.

This was one of the more lighthearted and refreshing anime. I love how there was practically no melodrama. All the characters and situations were mostly realistic and it was very enjoyable to watch.

I cant believe I liked this show so much, its only a 9 episode short series and yet its much better than 80% of the anime I've watched over the years. All I can say is that this was freaking awesome!

Great anime. Everything is done perfectly. May be for me it was just the right time to watch it, but I really understand the feelings and motives of the characters here, this is a rare sensation while watching an anime... 9/10

Amazing, I was so mad in the first half when Matsumaru was saying all the wrong things. The ending made up for it, loved it.
There wasn't one second where I was bored during the 9 episodes.

I watched this anime in one sitting due to it's short nature. I'm in general, a fan of shorter series since they give a more solid and straight forward story, which was done very well in this series, although not really as short as this one.
The emotions felt genuine although the plot itself was quite predictable. I have mixed thoughts on the lenght of the series.Though I wish that I could've spent more time with these wonderful characters, at the same time I believe making it a longer series would just dilute the emotion that this anime delivers.
In its short nature, I believe it's done the job fantastically :)

Such a perfect ending to a great anime. About the only thing I didn't like about it was when Aka cried it just sounded so fake.

I still think more would've been better like they could've skipped a few years into the future and had a kid or something but I'm sure not everyone wants to see that.

It was a nice romantic series anyways which just got right to the point so it was quite enjoyable for me.

9/10 from me.

8.5/10 (all 10 episodes)

9/10 overall. The ending was great. It was short so it didn't feel dragged out at any point. The only episode I didn't like was the special episode. It felt really out of place and I just didn't like it at all.

Edit: Yep, this is definitely one of those that I can't get out of my head for a while.

I must say that this last episode was wonderful. It felt nice to watch. With that being said, I won't boost the score too much just because of one good episode. I had gripes with the rest of them.

I must give props for this anime being realistic, which might be why I don't like it too much. Just like real life in some ways, but not a real life that I'd like to have. My main problem is the characters. I didn't like either of them. The animation and voice acting or maybe just the characters invoked no emotion in me. The emotional moments didn't feel genuine to me. That really killed it.

It was nice in some ways, though, and I can't say that I hated it. Had some qualities that most anime don't, but lacked a spark.

6/10 from me.
moving on.

it was a pretty good anime i did really enjoy watching it sadly it was only 9 + 1 (spec)short episodes but on the other hand they really did a good job maybe because it was so short cause at times long series tend to fail at some aspects which gets the enjoyment down cause they keep on stretching the anime.

i honestly didnt expect this show to take the route it did, but i really liked the way it turned out, it was pretty good aside from the conflicts feeling a bit forced imo and some of the plot being kinda silly
