Love Live! Sunshine!!

Anime of which the main characters are an all-female idol group, and is at least somewhat realistic to the actual idol scene.
I will not be adding anime with traps as a member of the idol group, even if he looks very female, or any idol anime with too heavy of a fantasy theme. (ex. Zombieland Saga for both of these) Nor will I be adding second seasons or specials, as you can find them linked on the anime page.

any romantic story that takes place near the ocean/body of water, also includes other anime with songs containing similar theme

Some of these shows focus on wholesome yuri romance while others are just girls being gay.

Cute and innocent anime titles where (almost) nothing bad happens.

Main series with all the available MVs

Rearranged, because no more empty room. Nijigasaki is on another list.

Missing from mal:
-PURE PHRASE
-突然GIRL

animes of the rural setting

These are some of the best titles for those who’re just getting into anime. These series have good plots/characters that make good introductions to the world of anime.

1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].


Split up in multiple parts due to number of entries.

a collection of wholesome animes to make you smile!

Pretty self explanatory. Anime that takes place in a countryside (or someplace desolate). Some of which are not necessarily what you would call a "countryside", like Harukana Receive and Zombieland saga, but it has that feel to it.

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 :)

A collection of anime that deal with music one way or the other.

Shoo be do, shoo shoo be doooo

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 in which characters have delusional personas, or believe they are a fictional character. Others may think they are out of touch with reality.

Chūnibyō (中二病) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe early teens who have grandiose delusions, who desperately want to stand out, and who have convinced themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. It translates to "second year syndrome" (i.e., middle-school second-year), and has been called "eighth-grader syndrome" in English-speaking countries. [Wikipedia]
