She wants a boyfriend. And to her delight, there’s a new gym that opens up in town for her to pursue her fleeting wish of getting slimmer. Simple enough story.

Full of charisma and even more muscles, he’s the main trainer of the Silverman Gym. With his clothes on, he comes off as a normal, cheerful young man. Although he is anything but that. Not in a bad way of course, because his antics of ripping his clothes to pose every other minute never gets old. “Sido Chesto!"

What is the difference between Kengan Ashura and Dumbbells?

What is the main theme of Machio's Muscle Lesson?

For the latter, the educational theme is the main highlight of the anime itself. Every time a certain character is confused or uncertain on what equipment or technique to use, the episode will transition into the "Machio's Muscle Lesson" segment where trainer Machio or any other character will demonstrate proper technique. In fact, after each episode's end credits, there will be a quick, interactive recap where the viewer and characters perform the aforementioned exercise with home workout recommendations. When you really think about, this anime was almost ahead of its time and very beneficial for those who can't afford a gym membership or are staying at home due to unmentionable circumstances. It's not just workouts, the characters also teach about dieting, nutrition, outdoor activities (i.e. hiking), and rules about a bodybuilding competition.

Who is the main character in Silverman Gym?

With a straightforward story, it is worth mentioning that this series is also character driven. The main and most developed character is Hibiki Sakura. Initially, she joined Silverman Gym to desperately slim down for a supermodel-like physique and attention from boys. She was getting even uncomfortable after seeing much bulky members and constantly tiring out in the gym. But, thanks with Machio and Akemi's guidance, Hibiki gradually became humble and gets positively motivated into fitness. Outside her voracious appetite, Hibiki is also an avid movie fan and has a hidden strength talent whether it is punching a boxing bag or arm-wrestling. She could be a personification on an individual dealing with gym myths and truths. Soryuin Akemi is the alethic, model student whom Hibiki befriends with. Once you get past her obsession with muscles, she is charismatic and highly knowledgeable about the art of diet and exercise. Her motivation for joining Silverman Gym is to live a healthy and "macho" lifestyle. Another connection that this show and Kengan Ashura have is that Akemi is the younger sister of Soryuin Shion from Kengan Ashura, whom surprisingly has a muscle fetish as well.

Detailed and Colorful Animation

  • The animation was provided by studio Doga Kobo, which looks very good and colorful to watch. Every character has a down-to-earth design with a stylized appeal.
