Wait Until Dark
暗くなるまで待って

Yeah, Fumihiko, what a pain it must be to have a beautiful young girl sleeping in your bed every night. I really sympathize, I do.

Must keep up…with…episode…releases…メ、メガヽ(@o@)/・・・マワッタッ

  • Summary

Aka dreams back to her childhood when she told her friends she wants to be a seiyuu in the future, and her friend says someday she wants to hear her on TV. Fumihiko also dreams back to telling his friends he wants to go to Tokyo, but instead of something cute, his friend says Tokyo girls are easy to get into bed, and he says, “Ehh? I wonder…:D” and drools while he’s sleeping with a really creepy face (感じ悪い to the max 1).

That morning, they go to the market to pick up some food, and Aka makes breakfast. Meanwhile, Fumihiko is troubling himself with the fact that she’s a stranger staying with him in his apartment, and any ideas other people might get.

During the day, Aka goes to work as a background voice for an anime, and Fumihiko is freaking out and trying to get a proposal done for work. Aka brings takoyaki with her but the husband’s too busy with work to eat with her. Aka leaves the apartment, though she looks unperturbed. After she leaves, Fumihiko’s coworker/friend calls him to get him to come to a mixer that the boss has set up for the three of them guys, so he’s forced to go.

Fumihiko looks completely bored and annoyed at the mixer, but one of the girls comments on how the voice for his ad mascot (Aka’s) is so cute, and he feels proud of her. Then he realizes Aka doesn’t have a key, so he runs home, finding her outside trying to keep warm.

Aka tries being positive and cheerful with Fumihiko after he sighs about his work, and he is about to continue when they hear their commercial playing on the TV. Aka remembers how her friend had said she wanted to hear Aka on TV one day, and that day has come. Fumihiko tells her she’ll become a popular seiyuu someday. After hearing that, Aka turns off the light, and recites a line from one of Audrey Hepburn’s movies. I guess in the heat of the moment, Fumihiko thinks how it’s a burder to be living with a girl he hardly knows, but…and he moves in for a kiss, only to be smacked.

Fumihiko goes back to his childhood memory again with his friend saying that Tokyo girls are easy to get into bed, but this time his adult head pops up saying, “Absolutely NOT!”

  • Episode Review

Pff, make up your mind, Fumihiko! You either complain that you don’t know her well enough, or complain that she isn’t boning you every night. He’s really lost some Saria points in this episode. His wishy-washy wavering about the situation with Aka was a complete waste of time, and it was frustrating to see him hesitating about her for NO GOOD REASON. Acting like it was a PAIN to have her around. Sure, he has work and all, but come on. And I know I was raving on before about how great the realism in the anime is, but I really don’t like the fact that he seems like a completely pervy guy with no integrity when it comes to women. He tried once again to take advantage of Aka in the dark, only after sighing and moping all day about how he’s stuck with her. His childhood memories also only consist of him being a complete dumb hentai like his friends, and his last cry of anguish at the end of the episode was about how Tokyo women weren’t easy to get into bed! Talk about disgusting. I realize a lot of guys in real life can be like this, but I expect more from anime characters like Fumihiko, no matter how realistic the anime. I hope he does something Boy Scout-worthy to up his standings in the Saria book.

If Aka had given in to him easily these last two times, REC would have been shelved. I’m counting on her to keep the anime on track and hopefully break Fumihiko of his work angst habits.

I did think the married couple look for them (with all the shopping together and whatnot) was cute, though.

Me being frustrated over the situation reflects that I am interested enough to care about the characters, though, so that’s a good sign. I just hope for cuter developments and less weird Fumihiko angst, job stress or no job stress. He just seems jaded with life. I hope this will just be an opportunity for Aka to cure him of the lame.

  1. I see that you bash heavily on Fumihiko. I see, he’s not what I would call a “hero”, but it’s not SO bad&pervy as you mentioned. He was very, very nice and kind to Aka when she was in shambles. “Disgusting” is far too much, those are the classic stupid chats on women between schoolmates. Happens in real-life thousands of times, between men.It seems to me that you like Aka sooo much that you are being a little over-protective.Fumihiko is … as realistic as you can be in a weird situation like this.He’s not what I’d call “brilliant” for sure, but is balanced, I think.I agree, anyway, that “If Aka had given in to him easily these last two times, REC would have been shelved.”. That’s for sure.

  2. >Wyk72: I guess I was a little hard on Fumihiko this time. I don’t mind guys being pervy, I think I was more annoyed with the fact that he had spent the entire episode sighing about how she was a burden only to try to “get some use” out of her at the end or something.

  3. I didn’t think that Saria was any harsher than what Fumihiko deserved. I felt the same sentiments as Sara, and the fact that it happens in real life thousands of times does not make the actual act any less disguisting. I found his initial act disgusting, and his followup expectations of gettin some to be sleazy. But it is realistic, and I am sure many have done what he has done, but it still is disgusting D:.

  4. She turned the lights off and said “I’ll be whatever you want me to be”. Obviously he read something into that which she didn’t mean. I assume you understood “It’s a bit of a burden to live a girl I hardly know” as “I deserve a little pay-back”. Well, we don’t know what he really wanted to say but all he did was trying to kiss her this time. She could have stepped back saying “No” instead of slapping his face. He’s certainly not Prince Charming but I wouldn’t consider him a pervert. He’s surely a bit of a moron but I think he’s just frustrated. He’s just given up on his collegue who teased him to boost her ego and now Aka doesn’t seem to be interested in him either. But, oh well, this is an anime and a comedy at that. I wonder whether you’d also be disgusted if they switched the genders. I don’t remember seeing her shedding a tear because of their first night.

  5. […] This episode was much cuter than last, I think. Fumihiko was caring and he did all the work in that costume without much whining. Plus, how can I be mad at something with little pointy arms? I just can’t. It’s like a law or something. Things with pointy arms and no hands are too cute. […]

  6. Well, of course, men will have a different view of the situation…
    I’ll be equally…disgusted is too strong a word, just pissed with the character if it was a woman.
    But as if they were going to show such a situation!
    Oh, if Fumihiko thinks it’s a burden to live a girl he hardly knows, how about getting to know her instead of expecting kisses or physical attention?
