[This is SOL, so not that much spoilers. Only pure MUSCLE.]()

I saw this Anime a season before it was starting to air and thought that it would be some another trash ecchi bait, but holy shit I actually love this show.

[PREMISE OF THE SHOW:]()
The show focuses on Hibiki Sakura, a high schooler which loves to eat as much as possible, when her friend (Ayaka Uehara) tells her that she gained weight she tries her best to lose that weight by signing up to the Silverman Gym. And thus the whole show starts.

The show is filled with many educational scenes which show us how to safely and properly exercise.
The show also does contain many comedic scenes which I found funny, but to be honest I was too focused on the excercises. This god damn show has actually made me want to go out and do something. Big props to this show for doing that.

Overtime in the show more and more character join Hibiki in her adventure to lose weight. There are many events that happen during all of this but I would say that you watch the show, its quite an experience.

[CHARACTERS:]()
Hibiki Sakura - The main character in this show, she is very motivated to lose weight. She did show intense strength, mostly when she had something to gain. Hibiki is so cheerful and happy that it made this show so much better.

Akemi Souryuuin - A muscle obssesed gal, she wants to be made of 100% pure muscle. She is much more technical than Hibiki or the rest. She is kind of like Machio-san. A good character nonetheless.

Ayaka Uehara - The one who pushed Hibiki into exercise, she also joins the same gym and learns the way of kinniku with Hibiki and the rest of the gang. She comes from a family of boxers so therefore she knows her way around kinniku.

Satomi Tachibana - The teacher of the rest of the squad, she was uneasy exercising with her students but soon enough they bonded together and all of the get along just fine. Because she is teacher she is more serious about things but I still liked this character anyway, always made for some funny scenes.

Naruzou Machio - The star of the show, machio-san is perfection on another level, there is no one else like him. The way of kinniku is him, he is the kinniku. Anyway he is the instructor of the gang and he takes muscles very seriously. Honestly everytime he appeared on the screen he made the show just that much better.

Zina Void - The russian gal, my goodness she is great. I was waiting my whole life to hear a Japanese voice actor acting as a Russian scream "BLYAT". Zina is very competetive, which is great cause I also can relate to her. She becomes friends with the rest very quickly and easily.

Those were the main character of the show, of course there are some side characters but I think I already wrote enough in the character section.

[ART/ANIMATION:]()
The animation is great, really smooth and fluid during the exercises. Of course its not a high budget Anime movie or KyoAni standards but it really is nice to look at each episode.
The same goes for the artstyle, its nice and colourfull.

[MUSIC:]()
The OP and ED are such BOPS, my goodness. I listen to them nearly everyday, they are just so catchy. Honestly they make any exercise playlist 1000x better.

[OVERALL OPINION:]()
I honestly didn't think this show would be so good, I was gonna write it off as some trash but the first episode was enough to change my mind, it also get better each episode. Honestly this is such a great show.
