The title should, this time, be entirely explanatory. Idols, as all are (or should be) familiar with, are musical groups consisting mainly of vocalists and dancers, with excessive focus put into the performers as personalities. Often care is taken to have (or at the very least, present as) a wide range of different personalities, so as to appeal to an equally wide audience and aid in creating more unique music for the group.

Typically, Idol anime follow one or more of these groups as they aim for stardom, with a variety of different conditions depending on the premise. Some, though, take a far different approach, standing out as particularly notable, be that for better or worse.

Listed are entries given the theme tag "Idols," but whose content differs from what one would expect from the genre. Specifically, if either A) the aims of the Idols in the shows differ from simply acquiring popularity or winning a contest, or B) if the route through which the Idols seek those goals heavily involve something other than simply singing.

Shows where the Idols are themselves the "not very Idol-y things" (e.g, Zombieland Saga) are not shown, as their actual exploits are more in line with what the genre is known for. Some shows that are not tagged as "Idols" but otherwise fulfil the conditions laid out (e.g, Visual Prison) are shown, out of the curator's discretion. Sequels are not listed for brevity.

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 :)

Most idol anime focus on friendships & growth, but these have a bit of extra spice to them - be it a fusion with other genres or featuring a different perspective. Have tried to minimize spoilers in the descriptions.

You love female idols and their cute performance? In that case, you did everything right! Their music give us joy and happiness right? Whether you are already an expert in this area or simply want to try it out, the most important part is: Enjoy, relax and have fun!

(note: I didn't add the OVA, Recap or their music videos in this list, just the anime itself. I am gonna write a few words about each of them. This list is more or less sorted by rating.)

WELCOME to the IDOL HELL. (and RIP your wallet on figures)

Anime's where the characters sing while they are fighting or the songs are integrated in to the action scenes.

They can be full-on musicals or just have similar sequences throughout.

Commonly the songs give them powers or abilities.

A list of non-Macross Anime series that was created and/or directed by Shouji Kawamori.
Its ordered from oldest anime series to newest. (Anime that was not animated by Satelight comes first).

This does not include any anime where he only directed for one episode.
All contents of a non-Macross series is included if he is the series creator with the exception of recaps.

The stack description of each anime will clarify if he was the director of an anime but not the creator.
Contact me if I missed anything and I'll update the stack.

Anime that lists Shouji Kawamori as Mecha/Mechanical Designer. Several sources outside of MAL such as Anime News Network and his JP Wikipedia page were used to make this list.

If an entry has more details than just "Mechanical Design", it will be noted on the first line of the description. Any entries listed within any descriptions will be note the extra details right after the closing parentheses, if not its simply listed as "Mechanical Design".

This list will move several entries into the description when the stack becomes full.

Contact me if there are mistakes or additional anime that lists him as such.
