Jul 24, 2019 Karhu Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Pretty girls in sports wear that unveil every inch of their sexy bodies with mind-boggling efficiency. Muscle-bros so big you need a rock climbing permit for a piggyback ride. When gym enthusiasm collides with anti-broscience humor, you have Dumbbell, the funniest ecchi comedy since Prison School. However this is not an entirely comedic series (nor is its ecchi pushy in case someone minds), rather it can also be very serious and motivational at times. What the series manages to do with its cast is the impressive part because with simple character traits it manages to deliver smooth and hilarious comedy. We have characters such as ...

Sep 18, 2019 HellLyter Recommended Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru is probably the most fun anime I’ve watched this season. Its got a colorful cast of characters who each add their own flair to the show and showcases some really solid comedy. It also provides some actually useful knowledge about the human body and working out. But you know what sets it apart from practically all other anime I’ve watched? It’s motivational To me, this is a pretty monumental feat. You’ll be hard pressed to find a show that actually inspires you to do what’s being shown. When I watch sports anime for example, I don’t immediately think to go and become ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 9, 2019 Ellenwitch Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) Honestly. I was unsure about this at first as with the genres that were listed. But they honestly aren't a problem at all when it comes to this anime. It's hardly impacting the show in any bad light at all. Sure it may get repetitive over time. But it's not to the point that it would be annoying. I'd honestly say if you are interested in fitness, or just wanting to get into shape. Then give it a watch. It's not gonna be one of the best animes of course. But still a great watch. The characters are all honestly relatable. A nice anime. Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 25, 2019 Groenboys Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) SAIDO CHESTOOOO!!!! In a season full of Isekai's, viking and more Isekai's, Doga Kobo gives its contribution with Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? I love Doga Kobo and their work, so I was hyped for this anime and Doga Kobo delivered. Hibiki is your ordinary high school girl who eats tons of food. She gets fat and wants to lose that fat. After failing to work out on her own she starts going to the gym. The rest of the anime we follow her trips to the gym. We get to know how she does the excercises, meet a colorful cast of characters and we get to ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 18, 2019 ZB_Blades Recommended Girl do you even lift!? How Heavy Are The Dumbells You Lift or my preferred name up above is the recent edition to a new sub genre of anime that I like to call cute girls doing cool and educational things. This year we’ve had girls singing beautiful songs and girls surviving on a deserted island. This time we have girls working out and getting in shape for our viewing pleasure, and what a pleasure it is. The concept for this anime/manga is genius. How do we get people to start taking care of themselves? How do we get people to hit the gym? The ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 28, 2019 AmuroHater Recommended Preliminary (8/12 eps) Starting this anime, I kind of expected to end up dropping this after a couple episodes. Comedy and ecchi aren't typically my cup of tea, but much to my surprise, this anime was an exception. Besides all the fan service one can expect from ecchi (which to me the fan service hasn't been super in your face or over pushed), this anime is actually very motivational and informative. I think anyone who wants to start a healthier lifestyle or needs the motivation to hit the gym could benefit from this anime. Basically this anime shows you the proper techniques to work out at the gym and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 18, 2019 Uber_Bacon Recommended Picture this: the date is July 4, 2019. One day after “Dumbell Nan Kilo Moteru?” is released. You work at a fairly inconspicuous gym, it’s a slow day and all you can think of is going back home to throw back a cold one and pass out. Suddenly, you hear a loud rumbling sound from outside the gym’s front door. You start to panic, New years is still half a year away and you were planning on quitting before the horde consumed you. As the rumblings get louder you hear a faint: “Nice Muscle!” in the distance and you realize what is happening. It’s too ... Read more Open Gift Report

Aug 7, 2019 heantai Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? is not only an enjoyable series but also gives insight into fitness for those who are new or oblivious. I came into this series with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This show has short little excerpts that explain how to do several exercises, these are presented in a fun and comedic way but also explain the exercises well and are a good place for viewers to gain a little knowledge about fitness and weight lifting. This show does fall short with it's underdeveloped characters. Though this is okay due to the show mostly being ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 19, 2019 takkun_ Recommended Anime is known as the medium of extremes, both to its benefit and detriment. Extreme designs, animation, plots, and so on. But with so many anime out there reaching all kinds of extremes, it can be difficult to break out from the crowd and truly feel original. So why not make something that most would say is the exact opposite of what anime fans are interested in? That idea might just be crazy enough to work; and for "How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift?", it certainly does. Creating a show about working out has to be difficult, especially with an audience who has zero interest ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 19, 2019 Sasori_Nagashi Recommended Come for the cute girls, stay for the lifting advice seems to be the premise of this anime. If you're like me, you aren't someone who is a big fan of ecchi at all. It's cool if you are, but I am not. I don't come to an anime to view cute/sexy girls. I come for story substance or comedy or... Well a number of factors. For this anime, the humour felt like it really hit the mark for me, with a good deal being relatable for anyone who has ever lived a gym lifestyle or, like the MC, struggled with food portion control. I am ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 18, 2019 SCUBAST3V3N Recommended SAIDO CHESTO! Well, this anime absolutely surprised me. I was on the fence about watching it this season, but, eventually took the plunge. I found myself not only enjoying the girls’ story, but also learning quiet a bit as well. They did a fantastic job of knowing their source material, and translating it into something informative, yet, entertaining. Story: The story is basically, just the following of four highschool girls, and their journey into the realm of weight training. Their adventures generally didn’t carry over into the next episode, as they were normally on a different adventure or struggle with each episode. Art: The art and animation ...

Sep 19, 2019 felixlovesanime Recommended Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? is hilarious. Forty kilograms worth of hilarious. Since the pilot episode, one could easily tell that Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? is playing with exaggerated campiness and over-the-top outrageousness. A bunch of high school girls' journey in achieving the prime body strength (and ecchi-level sexiness) is bound to be both head-scratching and downright relatable. However, thanks to its mascot character Machio-san and the exemplary straight-man Tachibana-sensei, every minute of these twelve episodes is spent with such productive ways that are both indulging one's muscles and churning the audience's stomach. Nonetheless, what truly brings this anime to a weight class of its own is ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 28, 2019 Hitoribotchan Recommended Doga Kobo (Studio that producing this anime) seems to says like this: "Hey my fans! I am so tired always producing cute girl anime.

Sep 18, 2019 El_Magnifico Recommended If you want to start doing some physical exercises or even start going to the gym, but don't know where to start or lack the motivation, worry no more! "Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?" is what you need! The series provide you not only with the theoretical and practical knowledge, but also with relatable characters, decent story and a lot of gags. I personally go to the gym for 3 years (as a hobby) and know most of the exercises but lack theory, so on top of articles and youtube videos, this anime manages to provide me with useful information and help me improve my techniques.

Sep 6, 2019 TheCasualPursuit Recommended Preliminary (7/12 eps) Too Funny! If you actually are into working out/physical training, this show will actually pull you right in! Though it gets a little cringey when they present some gym practices that you particularly don't agree with. But that's beside the point. It's funny, very relaxing, and haven't encountered a single boring episode at all! Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
