One of the more amusing shows of the fall season is mirroring what the first season did by getting a Blu-ray release. Anitore! EX, or Anime de Training! Xx as it’s localized, is certainly not one that you would think would get a Blu-ray release while eschewing a DVD release. The show was recently bumped from its February 24th, 2017 release date to a March 17th, 2017 release date with no changes otherwise. And now we’ve got a look at what could be the cover artwork for it or the packaging in some form, which will delight many fans of it. It’ll be priced at 6,264 yen for the twelve episode run on one disc, which should total around sixty minutes or so depending on how it’s structured as most episodes are about five minutes long.
The release will come with a clean opening and an audio commentary.
The includes Miku Itō as Asami Hoshi, Azumi Waki as Eri Higuchi, Miyu Komaki as Shizuno Saotome, Maria Naganawa as Shion Tachibana and Kanon Takao as Yū Hiraoka.
The show is centered around exercise with various girls that want to be idols doing the workout with the viewers. This is similar in a sense to the Makura no Danshi series with a semi-interactive element to it. The show is directed by Atsushi Nigorikawa based on the series composition from Daisuki Ishibashi and character designs by Shuuhei Yamamoto. Animation is being produced by Rising Force.
Plot concept: “Move your soul and body!” Each episode contains a variety of routines, such as push-ups, sit-ups, spine twists, dance, yoga, stretches, trunk training, and taichi. Five girls aiming to become idols will exercise with you, and that troubling body fat percentage will go down by 1000%…!?
