Casual sex 4tw! Non-spineless, opportunistic male lead 4tw! Hawt twenty year old chix0r who looks like she’s fourteen 4tw! Matsumaru just leapfrogged Keiichi, Yukinari, Neggie, Reito, Wataru, Keitaro, Hayate, Taro, Hiroyuki, Kenji, Yuiichi, Ikuto, Athrun, Kouhei, Kouta, Shinji, Suguru, Yuuno, Shikimori, Yuji, and every other “Oh noes hawt woman in room with me, I have no idea what to do!” useless male lead.

If I had to power rank them, I’d go with Reito as most useless because Mai wanted him. Badly. Followed by Keiichi (Bell-frickin’-dandy) then Yuiichi (how do you choose Nemu over the Kotori/Yoriko bento combo?)… and he can’t kiss Nemu because Aisha’s around? See, Onizuka or Yoshitaka would be thinking threesome at this point, even if one’s his sister.

REC is about the flame-haired, red-hot-eyed flame haze seiyuu, Aka who stumbles onto Matsumaru (the more competent Onizuka/Yoshitaka), who is having a bad day… so she randomly decides to cheer him up with movie and beer. Afterwards, Matsumaru repays the favor with kindness when he stumbles onto Aka later that night, whose day just became a lot shittier. At first, I thought that REC would be like Maico 2010, but after seeing Matsumaru take full advantage of his situation, maybe this show won’t be that bad after all. Maybe anime just needs more casual sex and catch up with the Western media.

(BTW, REC airs with Binchou-tan. Juxtaposing the two shows is like going to church than playing an h-game afterwards. Okay, maybe not that bad.)
