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 an…

Welcome to Anitore! EX aka SFW Hentai!
When I started to watch this series, I set myself a challenge to complete it to the end no matter what. Why? Because I like toturing myself. Stretch your legs and put your pants off, this is my review of Anitore! EX.
Story: 4/10
Fitness.
Art: 5-
Okay that is not really fair, but that is what this story is: Fitness. People excercising and giving you instructions on how to excercise. I guess they prepare for a show for the last episode and there is a bunch of side stories going on, but it shoehorned in a way that you question what even the point of that was.

I was seriously going to compliment this anime for its animation. It is not half bad and it is pretty fluent for a four minutes series, but then episode 6 happens. Do you like awkwa…

honestly i loved this show lmao
i started watching this with my brother and my friend as a joke, but then we all ended up following allowing with the exercises and even doing the dance at the fun.
of course the show is horrible if you actually want to get a workout, but if you don't take it seriously it can actually be pretty funny to follow along with and make fun of, and my friends and i had a good laugh with it
just don't think of this show as an actual anime or workout show... i'm honestly not sure if the creators were taking this seriously or it was just one big joke? there's not much actual exercise involved in a single episode and if you want to actually break a sweat you have to watch the whole season nonstop...
and i mean, the characters are cute but they're all pretty cliche,…

I dropped Anitore! but then after a while I continued to watch it, now the real question is why? How can I review something like this? Im gonna say this now, at first glance, I thought this show was going to be at least entertaining, sure it's just about girls exercising but there is more possibilities that can still happen, character interaction, but nope, I was wrong, WAY wrong!
Unless you want to look at innocent girls exercising don't even try to watch this show, now.. let's see what Season 2 has to offer... oh god help me~

Anitore is an “exercise anime”. Basically, it’s an anime that expects you to get up and move along with the characters. It’s a nice idea, and other mediums have done it before with moderate success, but it is very poorly executed in this anime.
The exercises are all less than bare-minimum. In the one of the episodes, the character only does ten push-ups and ten crunches, and then goes to get a FREAKING ICE CREAM! There are more examples of this. the girl (a different girl) does ten squats and ten back extensions, and THEN EATS A FULL-COURSE MEAL! Basically, the exercises are made completely pointless! Now, you might say "But you don't HAVE to do everything the characters do," but that brings me on to the reason the things mentioned previously bother me.
Ultimately the biggest problem is…

Okay guys lemme start by asking you all a question. What is the point in this anime? Well I have the answer and that is fan service. That was the whole point in this anime. The only reason I watched this anime was because I want ed to see what AkiDearest(go follow her on youtube,twitter,and here) was talking about. She was right. Either there was way to much talking so you're in the same spot for a while or it's like just watch this and do nothing. There was a decent story because of the work out and first person P.O.V. I really liked the art though it was very good in my opinion. The sound was them making grunting noises after a few exercises and getting tired. The characters where kinda funny so I laughed a little which brings me to the enjoyment. The jokes are the only reason I actually…

Anitore EX was a bad decision. Personally, I wanted to watch it because it was short. HOWEVER, once I started it, all I could do was cringe.
There was no plot, and while the anime set out to make me active, I was appalled at how bad it was that I was frozen in shock. The characters were annoying and useless, and spent basically half the episode talking about trivial things not related to exercise. This anime was absolutely horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you want to see a bunch of girls complaining about random things and getting tired after doing one pushup. It was just not enjoyable or fun.

Advertising in anime is a funny thing. It's often presumed by anime fans that whenever you see a WcDonalds or Dk. Pepper, that's paid product placement by the company whose product we know is being shown, even if their actual name isn't on it. This probably isn't the case, since Japanese law means that any actual paid product placement has to be made very obvious to the viewer, as it was with Pepsi etc in Tiger & Bunny. But there are other ways advertisers use anime to get their product in front of the eyes of otaku.
This brings us to Anitore! EX, which I dare say most wrote off as Training with Hinako the moment they saw it's promo material. On one level, you're not wrong for doing so, since despite nominally being a show promoting healthy diet & exercise, it quickly becomes apparent tha…

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 p…

Have you ever wanted to watch hentai without the actual copulation or wanted to find out healthy ways to exercise?
Well, then this is the right anime for you!
Story: 5/10
Anitore doesnt really have a story, but the main gist of it is a girl of the week type of deal, where on most weeks, you will be introduced to a new girl of a main archetype to guide you through your journey in physical exercise.
Art: 7/10
The art is pretty clear cut and simple, making use of simple things such as turning eyes into wide circles, lines to signify realization, etc to add in some effects. Other than the girls, they also feature images of the girls chibi selves giving brief but sufficient explanations on the exercises. There are also times where the art is very detailed as they portray even the sweat of th…

This anime is for two kinds of people: those who want to indulge in some heavy fanservice and/or those who actually want to exercise and are pretty out of shape.
Either way, don't expect much out of this anime. The characters are only so-so, the art is mediocre, and little plot exists outside of exercising. I will say that the opening theme song is really catchy, so it has that going for it, I suppose.
I decided not to rate this anime lower than a five, because it wasn't actually bad. It wasn't great either though, so it doesn't deserve anything over five. It simply is what it is, take it or leave it.

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!

It's difficult to make an anime short that actually leaves any noteworthy impact on the viewers. So why not try to make something more productive for once? Anitore! EX is exactly that.
Of all things, this is actually a fitness show. I imagine this to be an almost desperate attempt at encouraging lazy otaku to start working out, but regardless of what the intention may be, it gets the job done. Every episode features one or several out of a group of anime girls doing exercises on camera, instructing the viewers on how to do the moves themselves, as well as explaining which muscles you're training. Simple but effective. Of course I reckon most people who watch this don't actually do so with the intention of doing exercises (I certainly did not), but even so you still some great service of m…
