Started with Love Live!, but have been a fan of imas for years. Ultimate idol experience. This reminds me that I need to buy new headphones to brighten up my world whenever I go outside.

"Favorite idol series?"

Nothing outside of Macross.
Usually those start well, but it's a fake hype bump...soon they become really really boring.
Even the idol-mecha mixed shows like AKB0048 tend to do that.

Love Live

No irritating males only cute girls. All of them are lesbians. And no fucking talking about boyfriends!!

The first season has minor problems. But it has improved itself

Love Live! Nijigasaki have stong Yuri. Probably the strongest talking and depicting a romance between two females

It's so gay and so fabulous. Like an Idol should be IMO. Love Live understands its audience, and what we want. Therefore LL is at the top of the Idols And the lesbians are on top of each other,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Haven't played it, don't care about rhythm games. but I read the characters are females and I believe that

Love Live has had great success by having only female characters after all

Why are you trying to cram males in a show where they are not really wanted? Is it really that bad if there are some shows with Yuri vibes and without males?

Why are you avoiding my question?

"Why are you trying to cram in males in a show where they are not really wanted? Is it really that bad if there are some shows with Yuri vibes and without males?"

Yes as soon as I said I enjoy this show because I like Yuri and female-only anime. You start to argue with me " NOO there are MALES in LL and the girls really like them "

As I said I have no interest In that game and I don't really care about it. The latest season of LL Nijigasaki is maybe the best IMO and suits my personal taste very well mostly because of the sweet delicious Yuri

Is this a problem for you? If not, Why are you arguing against me?

@Yuri-Crusader You are arguing with an imaginary opponent. You can like and think whatever you want, but it's weird when you present your fantasies as a fact. Heck, even Minami and Minako from your profile are heavily romantically interested in the male protagonist, let alone Belfast and Unicorn...

What? I don't even know who fucking Belfast is, to be honest. I watch a lot of anime over the years, after all, maybe I just like the picture and didn't give it much thought. LOL

I actually like some lesbian fan art even if the characters are not gay in the anime. Like Sakura and Hinata from Naruto



And you seem to be very desperate to deny they are lesbians' in LL for some reason =P

So this is my fantasy? No there was a lesbian love story in LL Nijigasaki and those are pictures from that episode and not fanart

Going to go ahead and inject "It depends" into the conversation. I regard a number of idol anime as the best in their respective crafts. Overall, I'd probably say Love Live has the best balance (especially Sunshine) and delivers the complete package where it counts. Other than that, this is how I'd break down my favorites:

Story - AKB0048
Characters - Love Live
Lore - iDOLiSH7
Music - Starmyu
Choreography - iM@S
CGI - PriPara
Personal Motivation - Aikatsu

Have I ever claimed they are kissing in that anime? There are no laws in Japan demanding Yuri have lesbians kissing in it =P Yuri is also a term they use when girls have a strong relationship with each other. There are even some Yuri romances with no lesbian kissing they are still Yuri

Yuri (Japanese: 百合, lit. "lily"), also known by the wasei-eigo construction girls' love (ガールズラブ, gāruzu rabu), is a genre of Japanese media focusing on intimate relationships between female characters. While lesbianism is a commonly associated theme, the genre is also ""inclusive""" of works depicting emotional and """spiritual relationships""" between women ""that are not necessarily romantic""" or sexual in nature

Yes, you are both intrusive and desperate. Even going to my profile and dragging up some pictures I posted years ago that have nothing to do with the subject in your own thread. Preaching to me over and over""" NOOO they are not lesbians they like males"""" that is definitely desperation in my book

Why is that so important to you to convince me that they are not lesbians Lol? If you don't think they are, Fine I respect your opinions of the fictional media. But I still going to stick with mine =)

I am not trying to prove anything to you. You are the one who started to address me here. And for some odd reason trying to prove and convince me that my interpretation is wrong. Why don't you take your own advice and try to relax a bit? The world will not come to an end because I like the Yuri in LL

Actually, i've only seen four franchises: Love Live with all of its generations, 22/7, Zombieland Saga and Backstreet Girls: Gokudolls. Enjoyed all of them, recently laughed hard with the last one even if it was way too short and of course it wasn't a straight up idol show. Didn't think any more about 22/7 since a long time at this point, giving for granted that season 1 will never be continued especially after some seiyuus graduated. Zombieland Saga is epic, mixing absurd comedy moments due to obvious reasons involving the main cast with well done serious scenes and arcs, even i'm sort of concerned about what's gonna happen in the movie on the horizon.

However, Love Live and μ's especially as a group are still the best for me considering they were the gateway series for the entire idol genre and i was already 30/31 when i decided to give them a chance. Seriously, i even have a character that isn't even a main cast member as profile picture on Myanimelist. Even after three more generations of new groups, i still adore them the most for everything and everyone (music, plot, seiyuus), and it's not that Aqours, Nijigasaki and Liella were disappointing... Aqours has also wonderful seiyuus like every generation and got some great touching moments, Niji girls were a welcome nice different take with them being solo idols and Liella became more interesting after adding four more members.

Nothing beats the OG Idolm@ster. But Love Live Nijigasaki is a close second.

I kinda hate that Love Live is more popular than Idolm@ster, especially the worse shows like Superstar and Sunshine, but at least it got the Nijigasaki Spin off which ironically clears the entire franchise lol.

It's merely the 2nd best as of 2021. Also, the movies made after season 1 still need licensing.

My favourite anime that happens to be idol is Full Moon wo Sagashite, but the anime I think embodies idol energy the best is Aikatsu. Zombieland Saga is great too, but not as good as those two.

Symphogear is criminally underrated overseas, but in Japan it has cult following. If protagonist would be changed, it would be strong 9/10 series. I have high hopes for this upcoming project.

Idols overall are very popular in Japan, but overseas barely anyone cares.
That's why Idolmaster, Love Live, Bang Dream and others received so many seasons and movies.
Symphogear as well, despite season 3-5 bwinf exact same thing.

I voted Aikatsu since I loved the energy of OG Aikatsu-Aikatsu Stars-Aikatsu Friends. After that, I'd probably have Im@s as it won me over back when the 2011 Im@s aired and the quality has been consistent. Idolish 7 would round out my top 3 although I think season 3 has been a mixed bag.

Idol series are not really my thing but I have seen a few of them...and attempted to watch more. My favorite series by far is Kami Kuzu Idol, it is so funny and wholesome I ended up watching the entire series in one day. The only complaint I have is that the 10 episodes was too short.
