Compared with the TV animations we usually watch, although the form of beautiful girl games is not rich enough, it also has its own unique advantages:
One is that the player can choose the ending themselves. Most of the heroines who appear in the work almost have corresponding story lines. As long as the options are selected correctly, they can be attacked one by one;
The second is the immersive experience brought by the first-person perspective, which allows the player to integrate into the character as much as possible and experience the feeling of being the protagonist.
Regarding the second point, there are actually many animations that have made similar attempts. For example, "One Room", which has been launched for three seasons and each season is not low in popularity; the theme is slightly special, but it is still widely acclaimed "A Look of Disgust...",
And the next "Animation Exercise", which is well-intentioned, but the audience's attention is all off.
Animation Exercise is a sports-themed drama that aired in 2015 and released its second season in October of the following year.
In terms of duration, due to the limitations of the first-person perspective, it is obvious that this type of animation cannot be made into a standard TV animation. Like the previous two, the game is also a bubble noodle fan. Excluding ED, each episode is only about 3 minutes long.
In terms of plot, it can also be seen from the name of the work that in essence, this is a sports-themed drama that teaches everyone to learn fitness.
Specifically, through the words and deeds of the five cute girl heroines, the audience is introduced to different sports, as well as their detailed exercise methods and precautions.
And in order to take care of the characteristics of the house people who do not like to go out, in addition to running, most of the rest of the exercise items in the animation can be easily completed indoors.
For example, the simple and easy-to-implement body flexion introduced in the first episode.
First lie on the side of the cushion, the lower arm palm is placed near the stomach, and the upper arm supports the head along the back of the head; then the body and the upper leg are lifted upwards at the same time. This can be done repeatedly to fully exercise the flank abs.
Another example is the air seat that appeared later.
Roughly equivalent to a half-squat or zama step. The operation method is also very simple: spread your feet apart to slightly wider than your shoulders, straighten your back, place your hands crossed in front of your chest, and then maintain a semi-squat position. This allows for the stability of the leg muscles and the body;
Or stretching exercises to do before swimming, shrimp prone positions that help back muscles, and dumbbell lifting...
Although they are all common sports, the animation introduces many details that are not very noticed. As a sports fan, this is still qualified.
Of course, compared to these boring exercises, I believe that most fans' attention is still on the narrator, that is, the five heroines of this work.
These five people are: Hoshimami, who is full of vitality and optimistic and cheerful;
Petite, blonde hair and double ponytail, it looks like the proud girl's higuchi painting;
Gentle big sister, but also a little bit of natural stay of the early otome Shizuno;
The second middle school girl, who seems to be calm and composed in the face of things, is actually panicked and can't do it;
As well as the timid introverted glasses lady Hiraoka Yu.
They are more cute in their personalities, and the voice actors are also familiar faces such as Ito Mirai, Kazuki Apricot, and Nagasaki Mariya, who often appear in various popular new fans. In addition, in the animation, they are frequently given close-up shots in motion.
In this case, what to exercise is no longer important, the five heroines themselves are the biggest attraction.
Overall, "Animation Exercise" is a sports, cute style of instant noodles. For fans who want to get fit, they can also learn a lot of practical knowledge from this animation.
And these fans who have little interest in these comics, just these cute heroines, are also worth watching.
