Aikatsu Friends!

I think we all know what lot of modern anime are missing these days.

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 :)

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 list is a collection of series and films based on or focused on popular girls entertainment model of dress up fashion games or dolls.

Usually the entertainment or game focuses on the initial base or a character and the objective is to collect or gather as much fashion clothes and accessories as possible. The value of the model lies in the fact that the accessories and additional fashion are usually sold or obtained separately in the games or as a separate products for the dolls.

The entry bar for this entertainment model is low as the initial setup is relatively simple requiring only the "base" product or initial access. The curve starts from the collection and accessories that serve as a main product and the point of interest of the entertainment.

If there are additional functions on the product, they usually are only supplementary in nature and serve as a way to "highlight" the points of interest related to the initial product enhancing the core of the entertaiment.
