| Looks like we have been blessed this season. Looking forward to the next workout session. |
 |
| OP is so catchy Sakura's cute and funny as the rest of the show is, I know I'll enjoy an anime if I like their OP/ED or both. Macchio for Best Boy of the year. |
 |
| only thing that bothered me was that they basically took that fine looking girl and made her feel fat. A more chubby girl would be mroe fitting imo. Or someone with an athletic goal in mind regardless of shape. Pretty funny though and made me want to hit the gym rightt after I finished the episode. |
| Nice! Interesting characters, decent comedy and quality ecchi. Looks very promising. I didn't expect it to go into more technical part, but it worked surprisingly well. Kinda reminds me of Anitore, just better at every single thing. And yeah, now I have motivation for todays training. It should air every 2-3 days lol You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. |

A pleasure to find another man of culture. |
| This would have been my favorite show of this season if there wasn't Vinland saga. Doga kabo nailed it again. I loved the characters. And character designs looked cute. More characters will be introduced. It actually made me wanna exercise but I didn't . But I should though :v . This is going to be one of my favorite show of this year. |
| Im just impressed how much she benched 😆 |
 |
| God, I loved this. I remember reading the manga last year and liking it, but the anime made me enjoy it even more. Might reread it again to refresh my memory. The show is quite educative (even if the manga got some tips a bit wrong) but it definitively makes me want to go to the gym again. Also no idea Doga Kobo was animating this, they are one of my favorite studios so it's extra points to me. |
| Mobages are consuming me alive |
| WTF THE OP IS CATCHY AF. Onegai muscle~ I don't go to the gym, but I do exercise, and seeing other people (characters) stay active is always encouraging for me! I dunno, people were like, "It's gonna be really ecchi and trashy", like in a way that made me think that the lifting and exercising part was going to be more like a gimmick, but so far it actually feels pretty genuine while also doing its own thing. I like that. \ Also, this anime is in the same universe as Kengan Ashura apparently. |
| http://archive.is/sp07b http://archive.is/A1Sal This series is looking like it will bring a bunch of entertainment to laugh at and enjoy. |
  |
| glad something like this was produced. Inspired me to put some more focus on my workout routine. defiinietly try only the small weights when you begin. No need to be ashamed with that. |
| watching this made me want to exercise.. starting tomorrow. promise. |
 |
Shotttooo00_0000 said: Hands up if you did ten squats with Hibiki as best macho Machio-san instructed. /raises hands/ definitely did and I'm like absorbing their give away infos every now and then lmao |
 |
| honestly I just want to talk about how hilarious this fucking show is, its rare an anime actually makes me laugh out loud, but I was fucking cackling watching the op and ed. the fucking trainer guy machio? I cant breathe when hes on... oh god... not only that this is motivating is hell to work out. also with people getting trigger over it being "fat shaming" i do get it... i guess as a girl weight is a sensitive topic but you just need to take it with a grain of salt. if weight and body image shit upsets you, dont watch. simple. also i wouldnt call this show that fat-shamy at all, its more about being healthy. promoting healthiness and exercise isnt fat shaming. but tbh some of the shit that girl said to her friend was mean? but like jesus yalll need to chill. anyway, overall instant watch of the season... its just so funny, the charcters are great and wonderful animation. i just love this show!!!! |
| So this is the fun/dumb show I was searching for this season. Desperately awaiting the doujins for this. |
 |
| I like how they only bother to draw the character actually looking overweight (despite her BMI being smack dab normal - if you wanna come at me with "cultural difference!" go ahead but 160cm 55kg isn't gonna look like that) because heaven forbid a potential action-figure selling waifu protagonist ever look the slightest bit overweight unless it's "THICC" People are waving off anybody irritated by these things as "weh cry more about fat-shaming" but this show isn't even shaming a fat character - it's shaming a character at a completely healthy weight because likable girls in anime can never be anything but 100% attractive and I'm not even sure anime artists know how to draw anything else for more than two seconds or with a comedic male voice attached anymore. I really want to like this show because I think it's a unique premise with some education value and potential inspiration for me own desire to work out more, and I can relate to the main character's struggles with it, but I don't know how long I'll last with the obvious disconnects if the show keeps trying to tell us how unhealthy she is while being too cowardly to actually show it. I really did not expect this to bother me THIS MUCH but after years of female characters who are clearly a healthy weight or even questionably underweight talking about how fat they are when half of the body fat is in their massive jugs, I think this broke a last straw I didn't realize I had. (Also, counting calories on a healthy intake of protein before a workout??? Really? We're gonna lump that in with the junk food? We're really gonna do that????) . |
 |
| Bullshit! the anime girls never get fat, eat all the sweets they want and never exercise, nevertheless they stay thin. |
| Damn, so funny first episode! Both main characters are so awesome, their personalities are awesome in some ways, and their reactions and face expressions made it even better! Their personal trainer showed to be a muscle guy too, so hilarious! Both MCs are pretty cute, but Souryuuin expression are jus so good and hot! I am loving her!  |
 |
| This anime was made for us who doesnt ever taking any execise boy... :3 |

If so then I guess these Female Bodybuilders have the genetics, and never once used steroids . So. I guess Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman never uses Steroids as well, cu'z they won't having that kind of body if not for steroids. Oh btw you talked about being ripped, there a difference between being ripped to being huge.  Cu'z this is being ripped.  And this is being huge. Remember:  Ripped  huge  Ripped Ridiculously Huge |

| This was a strange, funny, quirky anime show. It surprised me how it kept my interest despite it being so bland with describing workouts and such. The amusement level was pretty high. |
| fun and enjoyable, this show looks good so far. I like both girls and the guy too. and yes, I do consider 55/160 being fat. |
| Where can I see the uncensored episode? |
| Lol chicken legs. I’ve seen guys at the gym who look jacked up waist and up but have super small legs. Though wouldn’t you be able to lift more if you worked out your legs? |
 |
| It's only good as educational anime. What's with all the love in this thread? Did anime level dropped that much? This series is average at best. It's not bad, but nothing beyond average. Comedy is almost nonexistent. Animation, yeah, not bad, but not eye catching too. Staying here only for gym tips. Btw, author(s) didn't really do a good job with portraying Hibiki's bodyshape, too thin for the digits shown. I see why some may find it's atrocious. But I'm on the fit body side! People (some) want to be fit! Even if we have healthy BMI, we still want to be fitter! The opposite sex generally prefers fitter bodies! Thin waist is ♡! Lean arms are nice! Firm booty is best booty! All hail (not oversized) muscles! |

animefi said: RobertBobert said: In later chapters there will be an easy romantic subplot with one-sided love. But I'm not sure that the anime comes to this at all. One sided love between which characters? Hibiki's crush on Machio was one of the main running gags. |
 |
As far as I know, at the time of manga ongoing it is still comedic subplot about one-sided love. |

In that case Tachibana also has a crush on him!Doesnt seem like something they will enter into. And it looks to be played out only in the first ep, they havent focused on it since They all have crush on him, lol. Well, except for the Russian girl, her heart belongs to Putin. But seriously this is only used in the case of Hibiki. |

Seems more comedic then any actual romance. Tks for the info! Well, for now this is just one-sided crush. What are the true intentions of the author, I do not know. |
|
| Being a former gym-goer in high school and undergrad, this first episode resonated well with me. Not only were there lots of nice exposition about the forms, but they also demonstrated the exercises properly. However, I don't think Machio is correct about arching your back while bench pressing. Every fitness expert I've consulted told me to lie down straight while doing it to avoid back injuries. Also, people like to skip squats? That's easily my most favorite exercise ever lol. The comedy and characters are nice so far. Had a good laugh when Hibiki entered the gym and saw those hulking men. Machio seems like a friendly PT I wouldn't mind having in real life. As usual of a Doga Kobo anime, the character designs are pleasing to look at. That opening theme, though. Easily the catchiest song I heard this season. SIDE MUSCLE! |
