Summary: Fumihiko Matsumaru is an average salaryman with no girlfriend. He invited his colleague Miss Tanaka to a movie but was stood up. 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. After movie and dinner, he escorted her home and found they live in the same neighborhood, yet unfortunately her apartment caught on fire hours later. Having nowhere else to stay, rookie seiyuu Aka Onda moved to Matsumaru's place, and the two had started a "more than friend but not yet lovers" relationship under the same roof while keeping this secret from their employers.

The show only airs 10mins per episode, which gives it a distinct bad impression to watchers, but if you try to watch it at least until the second episode i think you'll try and finish it for the ending conclusion of the story. The characters were drawn nicely for that year and for the genre and overall it was good. I can't consider it a waste of time either cause you can watch it in one sitting, and the story line was satisfying, it-won't-leave-you-hangin' like the others slice of life series'.

Great anime. Nice and romantic. And unlike some anime with 300+ episodes and lots of mindless fillers (!!!), this one is just a total 90 min series. Nothing different from the general romantic stream. Light and fun.

(i think an episode is missing after episode 8, the last episode is not the one shown in the preview. if someone finds it, post it. Onegaishimaas)

I don't know how I ended up watching this anime but I was very impressed. The romance in this story was very typical of real life situations.

It's artwork is above average but nothing to write home about. The characters were well drawn but all done very typical of anime characters. No fluid scenes.

The story probably is one of the best romance story put together. What made the story great was the fact that it was 9 episodes and each episode was approximately 12 minutes. This made it like a long movie and no fillers were present. Many of the (read more)

This is one of the most trickest anime I have had to review.. IN general it is a good story.

Its not fancy or eye grabbing and doesnt introduce new conecepts, However it is a very down to earth no filler and direct story. Its the practical romance of two people who came together under a interesting circumstance and how they benifted from each other that sparkled into romance.

Much unlike other strories which I have seen in anime.. this one is more of maintaining a relationship than actually trying to found a relationship. However for being (read more)

Just a little note for all of those new to the REC series.. Under Ep 8 there are two files and they are actually two different episodes. The first displayed is the actual ep 8 and the one below it is ep 7.5 (a special episode that aired after ep 7). :) 7.5 is nonessential to the plot but hilarious!!!

I was slightly skeptical that I would enjoy it at first but by the time the first episode ended, I couldn't believe that I didn't hear about it earlier.

I am quite disappointed that there aren't more episodes :( But if you can spare 90 minutes of your life. Download and watch this anime, it is so amazing and you won't regret it!
