Overall, How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? is a distinctive anime that will help people get up and going. It is disappointing that it lasted one season with a rushed ending, bland minor characters and hit-and-miss English dub voice acting.
(Dumbbell Nan-Kilo Moteru? or How Many Kilograms Can You Lift in Dumbbells?) manga has been green-lit for this summer. The "body-building comedy" centers around Hibiki Sakura, a high school girl who loves eating, and Akemi Sōryūin, the beautiful and charismatic student council president who has a muscle fetish.
There is a big difference in the tone between these two series. Kengan Ashura was more dark and action-packed while Dumbbells is more light-hearted and educational. For the latter, the educational theme is the main highlight of the anime itself.

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.

One subject matter that is uncommon in anime is exercise and weightlifting. We are familiar with anime that feature physically fit characters, whether for the sake of action and/or comedy. Then again, there hasn't been one piece of media that generally discusses the pros and cons of exercise. That is until one series stood out from ...
