It's pretty short too, 10 episodes at 13 minutes each. Just enjoy your anime ;) Saying things that you don't actually mean, for instance, when you know it's hurting the other person, and for reasons you can't really explain. I don't know how I feel about that, since it reminds me of terrible trope characters from bad anime. In effect, it’s more real than any of the overhyped bullshit of today that everybody calls realistic when it’s just blatant self-indulgence. It looks dull, but it’s also what makes you focus on what is going on instead of spacing out because of the pretty colors. She can read Aka like a book and helps out, giving her good advice and such. That may be just me showing my reckless youthfulness. What really hooked me about Rec is that it really reflects on the mistakes all of us make in our relationships.

Don't judge a book by it's cover, this is certainly true here. Both the characters and the story were relatable, therefore realistic too. This aspect of the character is realistic, often Japanese voice actors appear very young and have voices that suggest they are young too. Heck, since this is so short, just over 2 hours total, I'd recommend it to anyone. While it seems to be a forgettable mediocrity like so many other romantic comedies, it stands out by doing things differently.It’s an overall low budget series, with nothing eye-popping about it, made in an era when studio SHAFT didn’t try to shove as many head tilts and repetitive Shimbo minimalism as it could. Overall Rating: 8.5/10 (higher is better)Rec is a thriller movie about zombies that… wait, wrong title. This is something that never happens in many romance anime, especially harem anime. The females have normal proportions and don’t run around half naked by default. She's also memorised many lines from movies Hepburn has been in. Characters It doesn't aim to blow your mind away with stunning graphics, rapture your ears with beautiful music, or engulf you in an epic storyline -- its sole focus is merely to tell the heartwarming tale of a budding romance between two people. It is not very memorable but it’s a fine example of why average beats flashy trainwreck and why once again retro always wins. Conclusion Aka feels bad for him and treats him to a beer and Yakitori (Japanese pub grub) at an Izakaya (Japanese pub). In the first episode, the two meet at a cinema where Matsumaru is stood up by his date Tanaka 'from accounting' and ends up watching the movie with Aka who stops him as he is about to discard the movie tickets. She's a bit reluctant and slightly shy at times, she hits Matsumaru for doing silly things like walking in on her when she's in the bathroom.
I'll say this, there isn't any love between them at the start, but feelings are developed throughout and finally realised. As a guy, he is subject to certain desires and this can also make him do stupid things at times. Right at the time he was about to toss tickets into a trash can, a cute girl appeared and asked him not to waste those two tickets. It has such a beautiful, elegant, and realistic quality to it that I simply didn't want it to end.
But overall, Aka is a great character who is also somewhat realistic. There were many realistic parts of to the story, things that I can relate to like casual drinking, getting drunk and having to take care of someone, taking them home and looking after them. There is a very natural and realistic feel to the series, as it opens up with Matsumaru getting stood up on a date -- who can't relate to that? How does love really come about? Story It's sung by the seiyuu who voices Aka, and it has some strange appeal, as ordinarily hyper opening themes don't catch my interest. If you've enjoyed romance anime before or just like romance or unique stories, give this a try.
