By now, many of you would be familiar with the exercise training video that promotes otaku to Get Fit With Hinako. But did you know that the entire DVD project was planned, written, and funded by a single person?
GyaO’s Trend News website had conducted an interview with the creator – Muneshige Nakagawa, who started his own company just to create the anime exercise training video. Apparently the DVD is so popular it has sold over 10,000 copies so far.
Nakagawa revealed that he started planning the project over a year ago, but he just founded the company last August. The actual animation, sound, and other elements of production took only about three months to make from January to March.

Kudos to the man for believing in his dream and creating a 6 minute long DVD that cost 1,890 yen. I must say he was pretty smart to bank in on the otaku money. ^^
only 6 minutes long?! im starting to wish i didnt order 8 copies of this …..
Maybe you could watch it from 6 different angles
How the hell are you supposed to exercise properly in merely 6 minutes? omfg…
I don’t have any intention of watching this, but that’s actually pretty impressive. He captured the right market too
