Shine Post

Nippon Television Network Corporation's (NTV) late night anime programming block which began in July 2017.

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

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 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 Anime which each have a Main Cast of Only 5 Females, no more, no less, and no males will be in these Main Casts. (Creatures don't count).

If you like the types of shows featured in this stack, feel free to check out this stack series: Comedic All Female Cast/CGDCT Shows, as it might contain more anime you would like.

This stack will only contain the first season of each series.

I watched all of these anime during Summer 2022

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in Summer 2022:
Top 1 KUMICHOU MUSUME TO SEWAGAKARI, the story is about a yakuza gang member who is ordered by his boss to look after his boss's daughter, the plot is good, cool, slice of life, there are funny and sad things too
Top 2 ISEKAI YAKKYOKU is also a good story, the MC is from the modern world who dies in his sleep and then gets reincarnated into an Isekai, well the storyline is very typical of Isekai but I think it is interesting and unique because it is related to drugs, illnesses and the MC opens a pharmacy in another world and makes various kinds of medicines , it is discussed regarding tuberculosis, bubonic plague, influenza. Even though the theme is isekai historical magic, the situations and responses of the people are similar to real life situations, especially during the bubonic plague arc
Top 3 KAMI KUZU IDOL is also interesting, it's a funny story about a male idol but he doesn't intend to be an idol, he's too lazy, suddenly you can see the ghost of a female idol who is cheerful and enthusiastic, the ghost can enter the boy's body, so the guy's personality changes

Sequel:
SHADOWS HOUSE is interesting in the second part, from the first part it is also unique because the story is about life in a shadow house without a face who lives with a living doll (as the face), starting to reveal a mystery and the dark side that is in that house, the opening is also the best, it fits really well. Same as the anime story

Completed Series:
KAKEGURUI TWIN even though it only aired this season only because Netflix adapted it so the story about gambling at school immediately ended, it's a shame the ending is left hanging, the live action has come out first, the live action storyline is the same as the anime n it's more complete because there is a continuation of the ending of the anime

Movie:
CONAN MOVIE 25 about Furuya Rei's past and his friends who were in the police

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

Alright, I am adding some idol animes for you who are on the fence about watching idol animes. I do hope these animes bring you all some joy
