favorite rainbow/colorful animes!! If the characters or overall color palette of the anime is colorful it'll go here no matter the genre!!

The anime stack of mostly all-male casts focused on joseimuke media: idols, mobile games, (not) otome games, and multimedia projects. I won't include the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so you gotta find them out by yourself.

they sing and stuff

A simple list of most of the TV animes featuring male idols. Personally I recommend checking out Uta no Prince-sama and Ensemble Stars!

The title speaks for itself.

CBDCT, an equivalent of CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things).

The cast of characters consists either predominantly of boys, or only of boys.

Some animes could be BL or have BL hints/fan services.

Male Idol Anime Works ♪


With the theme of male idols, each work is an idol anime that depicts various stories and stages that fascinate viewers. For series, only the first series are registered.

I recommend you to watch the singing and live scenes! Hope you find your favorite character!

Literally every anime (excluding Music, Specials, and OVAs) about Male Idols that I found from the Idols (Male) section on MAL.
Arranged by air date > series.

This is the third part of a collection of articles where I aim to explore the evolution of anime related music. This part of the list attempts to collect a list of most iconic performances on the "Idol Age" of anime music.

The term "Idol Age" used in this list refers to a phase after the "New Age" phase. During this phase there started being more "idol songs" that that essentially were "tied" to the product itself utilising "a culmination point" relating the performance into a singular entity also known as "idol". This was an interesting approach for many as it opened a new model on how to sell these products to the market.

The theme songs essentially dropped essentially all connections to the series demonstrated by their lyrics, the emotion invoked by the song and the spirit related to the series. Essentially the song and the performance are presented as a related product to the entity that serves as the culmination point relating to these products also known as "idol".

I will write my thoughts on each of the entries on this list to further explain why I think the series and the theme songs included as a combined package have attained "iconic" status when it comes to the scene of "Idol Age" anime music in contrast to the "Anime Songs" and the "New Age". I will also give a score related on how well "the culmination" and the "product" perform parallel to each other while establishing the "idol" itself as a product. The series are ordered based on that score.

The term "iconic" in this list is defined by the popularity and how deeply established the culmination and the elements of the performance relating to the idea of "idol" being established as a product are in addition of them being supposedly intertwined with the series as a whole experience.
