Seeing as how I reviewed Sleeping with Hinako, I might as well review the other Hinako OVA that I've watched (I refuse to watch the third).

I'll give Training with Hinako 2 things:
1. I actually can see a reason for it existing - It's basically an anime version of one of those exercise videos that your parents would have (you know, the one where the instructor gives directions in how to do something - it's basically the closest thing to an anime version of that satirical Shake Weight ad that SNL did).
2. It has a very honest title - It's basically a video of a girl doing push-ups, pull-ups, and various other exercises.

However...there's nothing good about the series other than those 2 things.  Story wise, it is an improvement over Sleeping with Hinako (in the same way that getting shot in the foot is an improvement over getting shot in the chest), but it's still terrible.  The sound and animation were...average.  Nothing more.

The characters were...wait, there were characters? I only saw a pair of boobs...oh, so that's who Hinako is.

Obviously, I did not enjoy this.

I watched this knowing it would be bad, I just wanted to see HOW BAD.

...So how bad is it?

Well there is no plot to speak of. Your her "trainer" and she has the intelligence of a rock, if I wanted to insult rocks.

The animation and sound are... surprisingly good for what it is. What I mean by that is it could be much worse. I don't think the creators were thinking when they made this that it would be popular or good. (Who knows WHAT they were thinking though!) but I've seen worse animation. The sound is... well what you would expect I suppose.

I gave it a 2 for enjoyment. It wasn't painful to watch, and it was one of those things that's so bad it's funny kind of things.

overall I still give it a 2.

So yeah it's garbage, but if for nothing else, the animation saves it from being a 1/10 which would mean 0 redeeming qualities and I can't really say that when it was so bad that I laugh at it and the fact that I've seen much worse when it comes to animation.

And yes it's ecchi and you wouldn't admit to watching it except online, but it's also not as "in your face" ecchi as some things are. I actually consider something like highschool of the dead worse in that regard. Because of a lack of anything else in the plot it sort of seems like the only reason someone would watch it as well.

A truely fantastic anime, and with it being simply 1 episode, I recomend you watch atleast the first 6 minutes of it!

As for the story, there is none! It's here to help you guys get back into shape by using a cute girl with boobs! And let's not forget the ladies! Don't worry, there are boob workouts too!

The animation is fantasic, you can really see the detail they put in when animating the characters chest.

As for sound, if you like the sound of a girl working out, you'll love it!

The characters are super deep! A lonely girl, stuck in a world where no one else other than herself, and occasionally, the viewer, exist! So deep!

I found this to be quite enjoyable and very motivating! I encourage every girl I meet to do atleast 5 bounces a day!

Overall, this is a must watch by ANYONE!
