Who doesn't like a fine fettled curved body? But the trouble is realising that you got to workout for that curvy impact. In this heat of summer our Doga kobo studios has yet again presented another Anime show, "Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?" Or the English name "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" Featuring FITNESS! while staying in correspondence with ECCHI and COMEDY! A show worth watching when you're lazy asf to get your ass in the actual gym, but still wanna motivate your fitness-desire to get your body in their ideal posture xD
So let's get on to it;
FIRST IMPRESSION
I hadn't even expected of it having a plot or a decent story in this anime, which they lived up to my expectations. Yes, if you're a die-hard brilliant-plot-structure fan then this anime will be very disappointing for you. As for me, it was a thing of trying something new, even though I'm not that Gym freak person, I still enjoyed watching few episodes of it. I felt that sacred spark beneath the core of my heart saying, that I shouldn't strain my eyes for the cause of phone and maybe, just maybe start doing 3-4 push-ups or pull-ups, although that fortunate instance never took place because like I said, I'm lazy asf kek.
As for the anime specifically, I'd say it's decent to divert your mind from mainstream ones and perhaps just to enjoy this summer. Oh yeah, and there is always this Ecchi bracket with curtails about every human on this planet. Like what'd be more pleasuring in summer to watch hot gurls sweating their body or muscular men doing same.
As for the environment of predictions, in my believe "Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?" will be about 65% dominated towards fanservice and rest to Plot and character development. Most probably they'd encompass an instance to what protagonists have to conquer, associating with uncasual difficulties in about every episode and then the end also possibly no season 2, again, in my believe.
There's also a curiosity on how the love of Haibiki towards Naruzou, her gym trainer will go down, the complexities which she will be facing when another hot figure, Akemi has already fallen for Naruzou's muscular physique, thanks to her muscle-fetish, does this anime's future hold love triangle? or love-pentagon xD yeah because of the indulgence of more highschool girls after several episodes, in their weight-training programme is assumed from the poster. BUT most importantly, since the genre is Ecchi, to what extent do they plan to stretch its concept kek.
SYNOPSIS
Sakura Hibiki is your average high school girl, with a voracious appetite. Noticing her clothes tightening in lieu of her slowly expanding waistline she decides to look into enrolling in the nearby gym. There she runs into a girl from her grade named Souryuuin Akemi.
Akemi, who has a muscle fetish tries to get Hibiki to enroll in the gym despite its high ratio of macho men. Thankfully a beautiful trainer, Machio, appears and unknowingly convinces her to enroll and start her quest to a great body. (source: blogJlist)

ANIMATION AND SOUND
As about animation so far, it's decent for an ecchi anime. Most about any instance relating with girl can be paired with lechery. A few peculiar things I noticed such as disclaimer of calories of any food Haibaki eats, that to just feature the data that she isn't doing too much to maintain her figure. Also yes, they accelerated too much in displaying muscular men, too excessive, very unusual. Other than those a few things Doga kobo studios has done a decent job.
As about sound/music; opening and closing song both gives the feel of enthusiasm. Though there's nothing that particularly interested me in any song.
