In Training with Hinako Hinako was once a person but somehow she gets sucked into the TV and gets turned into an anime character. After noticing you watching her she is surprised since she hasnt seen an actual person in a while. So she decides to interact with you by calling you pudgy and saying that doing some training could help the both of you. Sitting through this I didnt expect it to have some actual plot. I was expecting the anime to pretend that you were friends with the cute girl who would like someone to train with because she secretly has a crush on you as well as you having a crush on her or it being a training video with the trainer being something to look at while youre using this as the laziest exercise video in existence. Instead Training with Hinako has this weird meta story to explain its existence. I guess its something different which is nice. After the first few minutes of introducing the character and the exercises that she and what your supposed to do along with her if youre not just being lazy will be doing the rest of the OVA. It also features Hinako wearing different clothing throughout the OVA but all of them are worn very briefly bahdumtish and it doesnt actually show her changing it and out any of the clothing presumably because that would have been time consuming and would have gone over the meager budget it will just cut to her wearing something different in the same shot. The fact that there is more than one set of clothing is a minor miracle because I wasnt expecting her to appearing anything else to begin with. Also in between the exercising the OVA is broken up by joke credits featuring scenes from a magical girl series featuring Hinako that doesnt exist. Thats probably due to the fact that the DVD has some minor interactivity allowing the viewer to rearrange scenes. Would I recommend Training with Hinako? Yeah. Its cute but not annoyingly cute. Sure its not wank material but I expect it to appeal to someone. It might not have the variety or quality of something like Makura no Danshi ENG: Pillow Boys but its remarkably well put together for what it is and seems to be earnestly trying to be enjoyable. Its not going to be for everyone but I imagine someone getting something out of it.
