Marginal#4: Kiss kara Tsukuru Big Bang

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.

Part 2 (original & manga/novel adaptation): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/6190

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!

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!

So in 2023, I decided to challenge myself to watch all the anime based on otome games or with a game adaptation even if that isn't a good anime in the end.
I will try to play all the games even if they are just available in Japanese.
I want to share this publicly because I found that aren't that many stacks with this kind of theme and as an otome lover I need to do my job here (my English is trash sorry)

ps.: I will do the same for manga because normally manga is superior

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.

if you like Music Anime / male idol. you can watch this

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating

Idol/Band/Music anime

✔ high bishie percentage (>90% main cast) or main protagonist bishies
✔ very sharp linework/shading cause I'm nearsighted AF
