Love Live! Superstar!!

With the intention of keeping this as comprehensive as possible, I encourage anyone reading to help me find more anime and update the text, particularly of those anime I haven’t watched. You can comment this publication in my profile or send me suggestions/alternative text via PM.
----------------------------------
Para que esta lista sea lo más completa posible, animo a quien le apetezca a que me ayude a encontrar más anime y revisar/reescribir el texto que acompaña a los animes, sobre todo los que no he visto (mandadme vuestras sugerencias por MD). También podéis comentar esta lista en mi perfil.



In 1614, the Keichō Embassy arrived to Spain in their trip to Rome. When they came back after failing their mission, they came back and rested in Coria del Río (Seville) before returning to their country, and some Japanese stayed there to live. In their honour, the surname “Japón” came to be, and that marked the beginning of the good relationship between Japan and Spain, particularly Andalusia... or so we thought. Recent investigations have shown that the origin of the Japan surname doesn't come from the Keichō Embassy, but the feelings of deep friendship between the cultures was real.
Four centuries later, Spain continues to be an inspiration for the pinnacle of Japanese culture, which of course is anime. Actually… there are not that many related to Spain, are there? This stack will delve deep into anime with some sort of relationship to Spain so that you can surprise your friends with some obscure knowledge that they probably will not appreciate.
All of these anime have something to do with Spain. Due to their prevalence, references to paella specifically (it’s rice with things anyway), bullfighters with no further mention to Spain, or the simple appearance of a Spanish flag or the name of the country appearing in the background will not make it to this list. Almost every other reference is fair game.

En 1614, la Embajada Keichō llegó a España tras su viaje a Roma. Cuando volvieron de su infructuosa conversación con el papa, se quedaron a descansar en Coria del Río (Sevilla) antes de volver a su país. Algunos japoneses se quedaron a vivir, recibiendo el apellido Japón y marcando el comienzo de las buenas relaciones entre los dos pueblos, particularmente con Andalucía... o eso se creía. Estudios recientes han determinado que el apellido Japón en España no se originó con la Embajada Keichō, pero el sentimiento de amistad entre ambas culturas sigue siendo real.
Cuatro siglos después, España sigue siendo una inspiración para el máximo exponente de la cultura nipona, que por supuesto es el anime. Aunque, pensándolo bien, no hay muchos animes que se inspiren en España. En esta lista se profundizará en aquellos que sí existen para que puedas sorprender a tus amigos con trivia que muy probablemente no les interesará.
Todos estos animes tienen algo que ver con España. Debido a lo común que es, no se incluirá anime cuyas referencias se limiten a paella (o arroz con cosas, según se mire), toreros sin mayor mención al país, o banderas y/o el nombre España en el fondo de la pantalla sin mayor relevancia. Casi cualquier otra referencia es válida.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

Miko (sometimes translated as shrine maidens or Shinto priestesses) characters across various anime.

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)

This collection has:
1. K-On!
2. Bocchi the Rock!
3. BanG Dream!
4. Every Love Live! Series

This stack compiles all the idol anime that starts off with the one of the main girls seeing the performance of one or more famous (or not famous, varies by series) idols and wanting to become an idol themselves. For simplicity (and because of unfamiliarity with the male idol genre), this stack will be only female idols.

I am unsure what this stack will provide some people, I just thought this kind of setup happens often.

*Side note: Some technicalities are, and will be included
*Also these are only taken from the first episode only

This is a stack of Music-related anime featuring some of the best and most spectacular stage effects.
With the capability to project images and scenery on stage or temporarily alter the state of reality to give a fantastical performance.

As of Feb 13, 2023. Excludes MVs.

June 24, 23: Nijigasaki movie, 3 parts

In this case, I will present anime, which have been renewed with derivative variations as the generations have passed, this is normally done when the franchise is very successful and therefore, it is desired that today's children continue to like it.

WARNING:This stack uses the occasional anime that has not yet been released, however, the intention of the list is only to inform, guide and entertain, without any profit objective, thank you.
