Tenshi no 3P!

I'm not sure what this subgenre is called but I myself sure do enjoy this a lot. I hope you do too!

Anime which feature characters that play guitar and have guitar oriented music on it.

These shows are my all-time favourites that only feature female characters as main casts. Sure, some of them will just boil down to "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things", but don't let that keep you away from watching these and just relax - just settle down on your chair, wet from your swamp ass.
Also, I decided to just include shows with male characters as well, so the title is kinda clickbait, huh? :P

self-explanatory title; those anime have a character that plays one or more musical instruments in a leading role. which means that idol/singer anime aren't included.

no sequels.

Appearances of existing songs, performed by a different vocalist.
Original artist/source is listed in 『double quotes』

Permanently wip as always. Suggestions are appreciated :^)

And 261-339. Neat. Going at this pace, only 2 more. Heh, if we're only talking about my completed list.

(Woah, only 24 minutes made apart and already separated by 99 other interest stacks. Cool.)

Deep dive into a curated anatomy of feet within the anime industry. Sorted primarily by frequency of scenes emphasizing but not limited to barefoot, open toes, socks, nylons, legs, femdom, foot fetishism and so on..

Intended for educational purposes only!

Disclaimer: The romance may be very unrequited or subtle.

Note 1: Season 1 of each series should represent the entire series. Thus, subsequent seasons will not appear unless there is something worth mentioning of a particular season. In most cases, two animes are of the same series if they have the same primary title. If I don't find Season 1 to be enjoyable, then I might use a subsequent season for the entry.

Note 2: This is NOT a ranking.

Note 3: We shall stay within certain categories of anime. In particular, an anime whose op and ed are the only songs shall not appear in this list. This is mainly to avoid making this list too long.

Note 4: I'm sure I missed a lot of good entries. That's mostly my fault, because, while I do watch some idol-ish anime from time to time, it is never my main genre when looking for a show to spend my time.

Note 5: This list is subject to inconsistent update as I recall more candidate in the future.

Anime where most of the main characters are 1st ~ 5th graders and/or it takes place at an elementary school.

(Includes series where the characters grow up.)

Animes with major characters who are hikikomoris, NEETs, or shut-ins

Hikikomori: Young adults who had withdrawn from society and remained isolated in their homes for extended periods

NEET: Not in education, employment, or training

Shut-in: A person confined indoors, especially as a result of physical or mental disability.

As one of the most successful and long-running Magical Girl franchises out there, Pretty Cure has resulted in many references in other works, especially anime. List compiled by tvtropes, precure wiki and partially myself.

Combing through all the tiny, lovely but lacking, stacks focused on rock bands, ensembles, singers, and music makers persuaded me to make the big all-encompassing Interest stack myself. I love singing and playing music, and watching musicians in anime giving it their all makes me all hyped up. Do you also want to see more music anime? This list was compiled and sorted for our convenience!

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚
The anime must be about making and/or performing music. One title per franchise. Idol animes are excluded as they already can be found conveniently here:

The theme called Music features Music Videos (MVs), Idols anime, music listening anime, and animes in which music making is only secondary. This stack is a little more focused. For the whole MAL Theme "Music", use this link:

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐞
I recommend checking out related titles to the ones in this stack, as some have alternative or independent story lines (i.e. Bang Dream, Argonavis, Liz to Aoi Tori, Piano no Mori). Also, the following anime didn't meet the criteria but are worth mentioning:
　Oshi no Ko — Anime series about an idol singer and a fan
　Perfect Blue — Classic mindf*** movie about an idol singer
　Revue Starlight — Girls battle with singing, acting, and dancing in this theater/opera series
　Bakumatsu Rock — Alternative history series where samurai have guitars instead of swords
　Hypnosis Mic — Hiphop is a weapon in this war torn world, let the rap battle begin
　Takt Op Destiny — Humanoid classical music pieces are weapons in this alien-invaded world
　Vivy Fluorite Eyes Song — AI singer must destroy all androids or else mankind is cooked
　Lu Over the Wall — Ponyo-like setting, with musicians
　Healer Girl — Schoolgirl healers treat injuries with song
　Alien Stage — Korean YT series with MV-like episode structure
　Interstella 5555 — Music video movie for Daft Punk album
