Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight

(The list only contains anime which I've been watching or completed. It would be updated constantly. Also, the commentaries would focus on the female characters. Plus my English vocab is lacking, sorry for that if you see "strong" or "unique" so many times...)

Over years, anime and manga have been introducing more and more strong and unique female characters, either as main protagonists/antagonists or as important supporting characters. I hope that with this list, everyone could know, appreciate and love these powerful female characters, regardless of what gender they are.

a.k.a. Anime with hot dominant women (if you insist)

Kinda unpopular anime that for some reason are unpopular and more people should watch it.

Explicitly Cannon Couples and Hard Subtext Shows. Subtext shows listed here have substantial content and not just a little bit of teasing here and there. Subtext can also be an unspoken focal point of the series. These are shows I can actually recommend and like enough to suggest checking out.

-some popular shows in here simply worth mentioning because it would be criminal not to mention them.

Coming-of-age stories are about characters growing into the next stage of their lives, from adolescence into adulthood. Magical realism involves the inclusion of fantasy elements in stories that otherwise take place within the real world, normalizing them as part of the world even if not everyone can see it. I believe that these subgenres beautifully compliment each other, and I have an affinity for stories that do this. The addition of fantastical elements into a realistic setting emphasizes the mundanity of our lives, and the addition of magical whimsy can highlight the beauty within our mundane lives, and create a heightened sense of beauty and atmosphere to scenes, or emphasize the sense of the mysterious unknown that comes with growing up. Fantasy can sometimes serve as a parallel to things that exist in our lives, and in other cases, the fantasy can be something we need to leave behind as we grow up. Regardless of how or why it's incorporated, I find it to be a wonderful combination, so I'm going to highlight some anime coming-of-age stories with magical realism that I enjoy. The first season of any show listed will count for the entire series.

Just random recommendations you may not have seen or heard.

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 :)

Generally said forces are antagonistic that’s not always the case I guess

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

Animes focused on the world of entertainment, the music industry, different types of disciplines and art.

For the most part one entry per series. Subject to change as some are unfinished.

As much as I love Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt, I couldn't include it because most sites don't count it. Feel free to let me know if I've missed any!

Yeah, we get it. You wanna ship two guys together. Well then, what about we make a twist on that for once, and ship two girls together that aren’t cannon? I mean, they’re hot and they look nice together, so why not? These entries are compiled up of series where it’s CGDCT or where two girls are close to each other and often think about each other.

Anime that comes packaged with socio-political commentary. Sometimes as subtext or metaphor, sometimes screamed out loud with abandon.

An anime whose plot or premise is heavily based on various real-life brands. For example, Shonen Jump in Bakuman or Honda motorcycle in Super Cub. You can also find a guide to real Japanese beer at Takunomi or sweets at Dagashi Kashi. In other words, if you are interested in anime about real Japanese things, then this stack is for you.
