I can say that the whole phenomenon known as "Aidorus" that spread through the Anime community like wildfire a few years ago has settled down a bit (well that's until Love Live! Sunshine!! S2, then we'll witness people crying over ships and stuff once again *SIGH*) Yet I'm curious to see if that phenomenon known as Idol Anime has affected you just as it did for me (as you can see, Aikatsu! is not only my fave Idol Anime but my fave Anime in general) despite it being quite obvious that idol series don't have the best of writers (since holy s**t, I've been watching idol Anime long enough that I'm actually getting tired of the forced drama and reused tropes *cough cough* Love Live! is a big offender of this *cough cough*) yet they do contain some of the most unique characters in Anime, so here's my questions... (also, thank you for taking the time to check out this forum, I would be very grateful to hear your answers since I am the "Idol Grandpa" lol)

What's your favorite Idol Anime?

Who's your favorite Anime Idol?

Do you have any specific songs that you liked that spawned from any idol series?

Do you prefer girl idols or boy idols?

How do you feel about Idol Anime in general?

There is few I am interested in, but in general I do not have an opinion, at least not yet.

It's nice to see someone who loves idol anime as much as I do! ♥
I've recently started watching Idol Time PriPara, just as I thought my PriPara obsession was over. Embarrassingly, PriPara would have to be one of my favorites. As childish as some may think the series is, I find myself often pulled in by kids' idol anime - probably because most series tend to refrain from drama.
As for my favorite idol, that would be Yazawa Nico from Love Live! Nico's personality always stood out to me the most, and she immediately became a favorite for me ♥
Girl idols definitely seem to draw me in more than boys. I've tried getting into games such as Ensemble Stars, and watching series like Uta no Prince-sama over and over again - and I just couldn't get into them.
Maybe it's just me.

My favorite Idol anime is Uta no Prince Sama, with my favorite idol being Otoya Ittoki. He has one of my favorite songs, Brand New melody. Masato in the series made a song 'Knocking on the mind' that I also really enjoy. With that in mind, I prefer Idol boys, but idol girls are sometimes good too, I enjoyed Love Live. In reference to Idol anime in general, I really love it. They usually make me feel really happy, even if I know it's not the most well made anime out there.

What's your favorite Idol Anime? So far it's Idolm@ster

Who's your favorite Anime Idol? My forum set and profile set should've say something..

Do you have any specific songs that you liked that spawned from any idol series? Gotta admit, promise from idolm@ster get the moments with the situations the most, so that one.

Do you prefer girl idols or boy idols? Girls of course forI am a boy

How do you feel about Idol Anime in general? Indifferent towards it. I dislike Love Live and haven't watched many of it.

tfw I couldn't take Pripara seriously anymore so I put on hold until the day I felt like watching it again (I put Idol Time on hold btw, I finished the 1st series) but yeah, I like kids idol shows the best, they tend to stray from unnecessary drama and BIG PLOT (of course I mean, the characters actually have the body build they actually should have at their age LOL)
Nico... you like Nico... OK, moving on LOL
Girl idols are a win-win for me, since they have so much dynamic to their personalities and singing voices, spawning some of the best songs I have heard in Anime (Aikatsu! and Im@s have best songs in idol Anime, MONACA FTW) but I did start gaining interest for male idols ever since Idolm@ster SideM giving us the cutest boy I have seen in all of Anime, Mizushima Saki

Love Live!... I... the only good thing that came out of it was Kotori, that was all. A part of me died when realizing that most people consider it the best idol Anime and how it has sold the most out of all Anime in Japan (GODDAMN AIDORU POSERS lol)

It's fine, most of the songs do come off as too HAPPY... but maybe check out a few songs from the idolm@ster series or Aikatsu! (maybe even Tokyo 7th Sisters also btw Macross can technically be called an idol series, so you can also check out the songs the series has spawned) These two have spawned some of the best songs I have heard (btw I'm a huge Metalhead and I constantly listen to the underground BRVTAL dark stuff, so me saying this about these songs MEAN something lol. few examples)

I'm not generally into idol anime. There's a little too much cute for me to handle. I like the idea though

My favorite idol is probably Chihaya from the Idolmaster games (I think they're games?)

My favorite songs are Me Ga Au Toki, I want, Kosmos Cosmos and Little Match Girl from the same series

Holy s**t, you like Chihaya? She's probably my fave idol from the main series (btw, yes im@s started off as an arcade game then console games. It gained amass popularity and gained itself Anime adaptions and spin-offs)

And you all like the pretty cool epic sounding songs from im@s, those are my fave too and Chihaya's VA (Asami Imai) has such a strong beautiful voice, also Yukiho's original VA (Yurina Hase) had one of the best voices in im@s too before she was replaced by Asakura Azumi. The main im@s has the best songs tbh, but Million Live! is reaching its levels lol

If you like Chihaya, you should watch the anime. She has by far the best scene in the entire anime, and it's an extremely touching scene.

> my fav are Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari, Snow Halation,Moment Ring, and Sky Journey.

4. I think the girls one...
> I'm a girl tho... But I feel weird watching anime boys dancing...

5. Idol anime in general eh... It's pretty nice but not really my fav cup of tea...

What's your favorite Idol Anime?
Love Live, Aikatsu!, Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls, and now that i started playing Millions Live, Idolm@ster too! (i watched it and loved it, but that was a very long time ago, so i don't remember the story too well)

Who's your favorite Anime Idol?
Love Live: Maki, Eli and Umi
Aikatsu: Mizuki, Mikuru, Ichigo and Akari
Idolm@ster: Miki
Idolm@ster: Yumi, Yuuki and Yui

Do you have any specific songs that you liked that spawned from any idol series?
Love Live: Snow Halation, Bokura no Live, Soldier Game, Kira-kira Sensation!, Dancing Stars!, and several others.

Aikatsu: egao no suncatcher, Tutu ballerina, Diamond Happy!, Shining Line, Precious, Passion Flower, Etude
(on a side note, i really wish Sunrise could make an app game that's as good as the Idolm@ster games.
the lack of voice acting and no dance CG in the game feels like a missed opportunity)

Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls:
TOKIMEKI Escalate, Everyday Dream, Bright Blue, Rockin' Emotion, Hotel Moonside, Can't Stop!, Koiiro Energy, Miracle Telepathy, Radio Happy!, Tulip, Seizon Honnou Valkyria, Tsubomi, ∀NSWER, Jet to the Future, Lunatic Show, Shabon Song, EVERMORE, Treasure☆, and more!

How do you feel about Idol Anime in general?
i like them. unless they pull something like Idol Memories or something.

The Anime adaption of SideM comes out in October, if you have yet to view all the adaptions of the idolm@ster franchise I highly recommend you start with the 2011 Anime, Cinderella Girls then all the spin-offs and movies

First Idolmaster can't be beat, it was perfect the first 2 seasons of Love Live are in a very close second.

My favorite idols
Idolmaster: Iori, Kozue, Emily, Konomi, Matsuri, Nina, Yoshino, Aiko, Mary, and Sae
Aikatsu: Lily, Mahiru, and Kirara
Pripara: Yui, Mikan, and Pepper
Love Live: Umi, Yoshiko, Riko, and Mari
Show by Rock: Every single member of Criticrista including Rosia.

Idol anime is great and is better than it's real life equivalent, just nothing like Idol Memories please, idol anime is not supposed to make you punch your TV screen/monitor even WUG which is social commentary on the real industry is nowhere near this bad also no forced depression and dark stories like in CG S2.

Aikatsu, by far.

Hoshimiya Ichigo Or Miss Monochrome kek

Many, but 'Bon Bon Voyage' from Aikatsu Stars has reached the top of my play count the fastest amongst the many others.


Idol girls but not because of waifu bait. Just can't resonate with idol guys.

Idol anime is something I'm hit or miss with. I absolutely love Aikatsu and what it represents as an idol show but I hate the damn shallow tropey sensations I see all the time in things like Love Live (Sunshine especially is a huge offender). I've made the dedication to watch every idol anime at this point, so I guess I like the genre.

i actually liked the anime, even despite the unecessary drama. it provided a nice intro to a few of the songs, and the two openings were quite catchy! too bad due to time constraints, we only get to see a select few idols, and some of them only make a guest appearance in 1 episode or 2.
needless to say, the game is better, and you also get to see a ton of great songs as well, which is absent in the anime.

I might as well answer my own questions to give you a gist of my fave things about Idol Anime which eventually made me into the "Idol Grandpa" lol (you all probably already know, but eh)

What's your favorite Idol Anime?
Aikatsu! it's stayed close to my heart ever since I watched it back in 2012. I always looked forward to every episode, I don't know, it's one of the few idol Anime next to im@s that actually focuses on what it means to be an idol and what idols do while taking place in a school setting (THEY'RE NOT SCHOOL IDOLS BTW) despite being quite long in length (178 episodes, and a few movies) I was heartbroken when it ended in April 2016, yet even if it had the ending I ever wanted, I wanted it to go on... since seeing a series that spawned some of my most fave characters in Anime and some songs that I constantly listen to I... *sigh* Well, we all know all good things must always come to an end

Who's your favorite Anime Idol?
Minami Kotori, despite me viewing Love Live! as an Idol Hipster (lmao) I honestly loved Kotori ever since I discovered LL! back in 2010, Kotori was just... such an angle, she was so cute and her voice was so sweet I just... man, you must have known how heartbroken I was when μ's disbanded in 2016. I will never forget how much Kotori impacted me as an idol and as a character.

Do you have any specific songs that you liked that spawned from any idol series?
My playlist that I listen to when taking my dog on walks is filled with songs from almost every idol series (along with 75% of it being Metal but OK lol) but I find the songs from Idolm@ster (mostly the main series and Million Live!) and Aikatsu! to have the best songs in all of Idol Anime, also Love Live!'s Snow Halation pretty much rivaled every im@s song when it came out in 2010 lol *Specific songs, can't really decide but these are the Top 3 that impacted me greatly

Calander Girl (Aikatsu!)


White Album (White Album)


Nemuri Hime (Idolm@ster)


Do you prefer girl idols or boy idols?
Girl idols, they're just much cuter, sing better, and have more unique personalities and chemistry with other characters- Unless we talking Saki, cause that cute boy goes beyond both female and male idols LOL

How do you feel about Idol Anime in general?
I love them, for they have spawned some of my fave characters and songs of all time and made me the Anime fan I am today, but sadly... I have been watching way too many Idol Anime and the overused tropes, forced drama and lack of unique story has made me become tired of them... I can only hope there's a new idol Anime that does something unique or I'll just have to wait until the Idolm@ster Million Live! Anime is announced to reignite the passion I once had for idols

My favorite idol anime is probably idolmaster and my favorite idol from that is Makoto followed by Maki and Chihaya. Don't really care about the songs too much, don't really care about boy idols and in general I can enjoy a good idol anime once in a while but it's not a high priority genre for me. Idolmaster had some really good drama and Love Live was really funny at times so qualities like that always make it easier to enjoy any anime.
I probably regret this post by now.

Yeah, Love Live is really Illuminati if you think about it LOL, but I guess you're right, most idol series do tend to use characters under 18 (im@s has used idols over the age of 18) but most idols are young because of industry standards, don't want to dwell too much into that aspect since uh... yeah, I like separating Anime Idols from real Idols (also fam, don't put actual good idol shows like im@s in that standard, it wasn't filled with fan service of under-aged girls like most modern Anime, it had a legit plot and good character development, if you're looking for idol shows with ZERO fan service, just watch Aikatsu! it was meant for kids anyways despite having a plot that even older viewers can enjoy)

-Snow Halation (People gotta admit, it was a nice song)

-Not the greatest shows but enjoyed the experience some of them provides. Some are just fanservice crap though.

Well, if I were to say which idol anime I actually really liked, it'd be akb0048, and it's not the idol aspect that I found to be most intriguing.
I generally find idol anime to be at its best when it aint taking itself too seriously (Again, akb0048 has actual high stakes which is why the idol part isn't what sold me into it, it's why they were doing the idol stuff to begin with. In that series, serious moments are fine but they're just jarring in other idol anime)

Oh and favorite song... first ed of akb
Just to answer the rest of your questions, girls ofc.

I have no problem with idol anime personally, at first i use to be slightly put off by them but i sat down and started watching, i ended up enjoying myself so i have kept it up and developed an interest but i do prefer female idols over males personally.

Favorite Series?
I've liked all the ones I've seen so far, but have the closest attachment to the Love Live! franchise.

Favorite Idol?
Love Live! - I'm NicoRinPana trash
Idolm@ster - Minase Iori and Ganaha Hibiki
Sunshine!! - I like all nine equally

Specific Songs?
I've bought a lot of µ's and Aqours tracks, but a top five would include:

「Yume no Tobira」
「Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan」
「Mattete Aino Uta」
「Mijuku DREAMER」
「Seinaru Hino Inori」 (now my favorite Christmas song)

Girl or boy idols?
Haven't seen a series with the latter yet, so can't comment.

Idol Anime in general?
Postive.

I sort of stumbled on the genre by accident. A lot of people in the same slice of life fandoms I am in on tumblr would post Idolm@ster and Love Live! ships, so I decided to give Love Live! a chance.

Within short order I watched both seasons of Love Live!, watched the original Idolm@ster, and then Wake Up Girls. I then picked up the LLSIF game, and saw the Love Live! movie premiere in Los Angeles. Saw Aqours premier at AX16, then their FirstLive satellite streaming in Los Angeles, and then just saw Cinderella Girls, Wake Up Girls, Walküre, and Aqours at Anisong AX17. I'd like to check out Aikatsu!, Macross Delta, and some others too.

Because I was already buying a lot of anime OP and ED (e.g. Kalafina, ALI Project, Do as Infinity, etc.), the idol music was immediately appealing. I've bought a lot of Love Live! music and merch at this point. I even became one of the volunteer staff at Sukutomo

I recently joked with a friend that I started my anime adventure with Mecha, migrated to SOL, but now I'm idol trash.

The only idol anime I've watched is Love Live and I loved it. ''Love Live! Sunshine!!'' is my second favorite anime. I wish to watch more, but I'm not sure what exactly to watch.
Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
Noragami is the best anime ever.

Rabu Raibu is the best Idol anime to date, Specifically, Rabu Raibu Sunshine. Your opinion sucks, Rabu Raibu is perfection reincarnate and the plot and script moves me to tears.

Obviously my favorite idol anime and anime overall is Rabu Raibu.

Favorite Idol is Dia Kurosawa, BUU BUU DESU WA!

My entire playlist consists of 500 songs from Rabu Raibu, and HAPPY PARTY TRAIN! lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I prefer female Idols cause I'm not gay. If ASCII ever decides to taint the Rabu Raibu name with an all male cast, Nippon should get nuked again.

I don't know about any other idol anime cause they're trash, but Rabu Raibu is the saving grace of not just the anime industry, but mankind as we know it.

I tend to like idol anime. It's typically lighthearted with a main cast rather then just one MC.

I like several things, and they include music, friendship, teamwork and bright colours. Idol anime usually can deliver all these things. Plus, they're super easy to digest. The plots are usually not very intense as drama or sci-fi series but about stuff like "Oh this character and this character have a rivalry they must patch up!"

What's your favorite Idol Anime?
My favourite one based on story and writing alone is Shounen Hollywood however, this is not a series I talk about much as I don't care for the songs or characters that much. My actual favourite for the characters is Tsukiuta the Animation. I'm very attached to the characters and I actually collect merchandise from that series and follow it very closely. The music is also by far, the best in the idol anime realm.

Who's your favorite Anime Idol?
- Masato Hijirikawa (Uta no Prince-sama)
- Shy Makishima (Marginal#4)
- Hajime Mutsuki (Tsukiuta) and Shun Shimotsuki (Tsukiuta)

Do you have any specific songs that you liked that spawned from any idol series?
Several. I'll list my favourites from multiple series.



Do you prefer girl idols or boy idols?
Boys because I'm straight and I prefer boys, therefore male voices appeal to me the most.

How do you feel about Idol Anime in general?
