Anitore! EX

This is a good start if you're looking to start exercising, especially if you incorporate the entire series as a workout routine per day. It will definitely make you break a sweat if you've never or rarely exercise on a daily basis. Having cute girls doing the exercises along with you and encouraging you are both great helps to sticking to the workouts.

If you're looking for story, you'll be disappointed, as this is almost strictly for exercise rather than traditional watching enjoyment. The characters are all caricatures of your standard anime girl roles, so you'll have an episode devoted to each different girl with teamup ... episodes here and there.

The voice actors are all wonderful, and you might recognize some here and there. The sound design is your standard fare, though each rep is punctuated by a nice number count so you feel like you're accomplishing something with each rep.

I recommend this if you're looking to start working out after never or rarely having done so previously. It isn't a replacement for a full workout routine, but it is a good place to start. Along with eating right, you will probably see results from the routine, too!

Personally, I believe this is the most underestimated anime of all time. This is a prime example of not judging a book by the cover, and here's why. Not only does this anime surpass the limits of offering fan service to the viewers but it also supplies us with a rich story that is gripping from start to finish. The voice acting is top tier and the writing is extremely poetic. My only complaint is some of the characters weren't showed enough compared to some of the others. The dancing scenes were amazingly choreographed with amazing camera shots. This must have taken multiple hours of ... planning even though each episode is 4 minutes. I wish everyone could watch this because not only did I watch it sitting down but rewatched it while doing the workouts with them. I have lost a lot of weight and I feel like society can except me!

This is a short, cute anime about cute girls doing cute exercises. While it's ecchi and occasionally pantsu (sort of) it's far from p0rn or hentai. Unlike several similar shows: this one focuses on the cute! Kawaii!

Every episode features an exercise with a brief explanation of what it does to benefit you. Not much story or character beyond introducing a new girl every few episodes, then pairing the girls up until the grand finale with all of them at the beach!

Still? It was fun! And short, watch all 12 quickly and get that catchy theme song stuck in your head! And if you feel ... like it? Try the exercises too!

I do have to say that the series, regardless of the fact that it was rather short, it was pretty enjoyable. The one thing that I found especially enjoyable, is that the anime does get you motivated. It's almost like they're a virtual trainer, which perhaps in a sense it is, as the characters really make you want to join in with them. It is rather rare to see that in any anime series, so I give them a thumbs up for that. I do wish there was some more episodes, or if it gets made into a longer series, perhaps giving a bigger insight ... into the character's every day lives.
