REC

Quote:

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 catched 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.

REC is a cute little romance story, notable for its unique broadcast style (9 episodes (?) at 12 minutes each). Each episode is generally light-hearted fun, but there are occasional thoughtful moments. Also of note is the fact that the voice actors for the two leads are relative newbies to the industry, which kind of gives Aka's character a bit of authenticity.

Althought the series is a romantic comedy of sorts, the fanservice rating is pretty low -- good for all you prudes out there. It's a short and sweet series, so give it a try.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I know Lunar and Anime-United (as well as a few other groups) are releasing REC, but Ayu is the group I follow so that's who I put on the topic post. <_<

If I get unlazy then I'll perhaps edit in other links as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
