Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream

Based on the popular magical girl inphographic guide https://i.imgur.com/vFQ3vaZ.jpeg with notes attached to each entry

This is split into 2 Categories:
B. (starts with Utena) I've only seen Madoka Magica and I want to learn more about the genre, but idk if I'm ready for kids' shows.
If at the end you're ready to explore the mahou shoujo genre in full force, jump to Category A.

A. (starts with Precure) I like cute stuff and the magical girls aesthetic, and I can actually handle stuff aimed at little girls.
If at the end this isn't enough for you, congrats, you're into mahou shoujo and you should start doing your own research.

I think we all know what lot of modern anime are missing these days.

Ever anime that's a part of the "Pretty Rhythm" Series by Takara Tomy

A list of anime that revolve around the following topics: Idols, bands and music.
As it is an introduction, I only included the first seasons to some of them. Whether you want to continue watching the later seasons is always up to you :)

Places, images, songs, famous personalities, little mentions... Any appearance of Argentina in anime (Not manga).
I will update the list when I see or find out about any other reference.

Series and films that feature live action aspects or footage to enhance the animated experience.

This is simply a full list of anime where any of the characters speak Spanish even for just a single word or phrase.
This does not include any instances where they use proper nouns or names that are in Spanish.

I'm always looking to add to this list so feel free to send me any instances.

i cant find one in order so here lol

For more, check out "Largest groups" on Chiaki: https://chiaki.site/?/tools/watch_order_groups/type/large
(Note: Count may not be always accurate since they mostly rely on the 'Related Entries' in anime pages and not all related entries listed are really part of some franchises.)

---

I've also included:
- "Watch order guides" by other users I find helpful and for convenience; number of entries included.
- Some clubs (mostly the ones with the most members), if you want to join one and maybe revive some.
- Anime Watching Challenges by the Anime Watching Challenges Club [AWCc] (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=70446); also check AWCc's Hall of Fame [HoF] (https://anime.jhiday.net/hof/).
- Live action adaptations (Ctrl + F in the [[ Live Action Adaptations ]] club (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5450) or use their script).

I'll be updating this from time to time so the entries will change.

*Inspired by this thread: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2032254 (Which anime franchise has the most MAL entries?)

Legend:
🥇🥈🥉 - Gold, Silver, Bronze = Top 3
🔺 - Moved Up (risen in the rankings with new addition/s in the DB)
🔻 - Moved Down (something was removed in the DB)
✔️ - Description Box is up-to-date. Other stacks (number of entries, title change), challenges and clubs (status/activity) checked.
❗️WIP! - Work in progress (means I'm working on a watch order guide stack)

---

P.S. Everything would look clean if they just enable BBCode for stacks.

P.P.S. I made a second stack for 51-100. So I could just move some of the entries to the other stack instead of really deleting them.

Also, watch out for Pororo! He'll slowly climb to the top 10. Alas! The penguin is now ranked 23rd. LOL.

This is a stack of Music-related anime featuring some of the best and most spectacular stage effects.
With the capability to project images and scenery on stage or temporarily alter the state of reality to give a fantastical performance.

This list is a collection of series and films based on or focused on popular girls entertainment model of dress up fashion games or dolls.

Usually the entertainment or game focuses on the initial base or a character and the objective is to collect or gather as much fashion clothes and accessories as possible. The value of the model lies in the fact that the accessories and additional fashion are usually sold or obtained separately in the games or as a separate products for the dolls.

The entry bar for this entertainment model is low as the initial setup is relatively simple requiring only the "base" product or initial access. The curve starts from the collection and accessories that serve as a main product and the point of interest of the entertainment.

If there are additional functions on the product, they usually are only supplementary in nature and serve as a way to "highlight" the points of interest related to the initial product enhancing the core of the entertaiment.

Lot of the longest series are for boys, so here I listed the longest series that are more girls focused as for some reason they are not as well known as the longest boys focused series.

Few series listed below that are not counted as a singular series when it comes to the purpose of this list but are often grouped together or seen together and whose length is worth mentioning:

If you are a fan of singers, music, musical instruments and the world of the spectacle, I can recommend these animes. Apart from having good OST, its main themes are music, singing and musical instruments, with some drama included.
