had to repost this

My review of Isshoni Training, take this as the standard for what truly awful means



Okay, now having subjected myself to Isshoni Training.

It's like reused sequences the anime.

Think there's about 3 minutes of animation in the 25.
Possibly even less voice and music (it's very repetitive BGM).
Voice consists of a short intro/shower scene (and end scenes), and counting from 1-24 . The counting is mostly reused (all the stuff during exercises is). The other audio (my god there's so much reuse I can actually talk about all of it) consists of her breathing 24 times in a slightly more strained way, the very bad BGM and *boing*.


1, *boing*, 2, *boing*... etc.
Then it a does version with no voice: *breath*, *boing*, *breath*, *boing*
Followed by her lying on bed counting to 12 in a relaxed way.
Animation is the initial 3 exercise shots (about 2mins long) being reused, sometimes with zoom to cover more bouncing. All repeating the same 1-3 second loop 12 or 24 times to her count. 4 alternate outfits are used, along with different BGM and possible lack of voice etc.
There's also the intro, and the bits at the end of the two "episodes". Everything after the first 10 mins is just counting, 14 minutes of counting from 1-12 or 1-24, it's bloody psychological torture!!

Animation quality isn't that bad, there's just so much reuse. And the plot *shudder*: Hinako used to be a normal 3D girl, but got sucked into a favourite anime of hers due to being too into it. She's now at risk of having said show (which she now stars in) axed due to getting a bit chubby. As a result she's doing daily exercises along with you. Self-insert at the absolute worst level.

I survived, just about.


Music: actively harmful -3
Plot: where am I.. urgh.. what the hell did I just do to myself -9
Character design: think the sporty one from Mitsudomoe but with melons. +1
Character development: "*boing* ,1, *boing*,2, *boing* ,3, *boing*,4, *boing*,5, *boing*,6, *boing*,7, *boing*,8, *boing*,9, *boing*,10, *boing*,11, *boing*,12" REPEAT enough times to cause hallucinations -10
overall -7/10, yes that is a negative.
