WIXOSS Diva(A)Live

The title should, this time, be entirely explanatory. Idols, as all are (or should be) familiar with, are musical groups consisting mainly of vocalists and dancers, with excessive focus put into the performers as personalities. Often care is taken to have (or at the very least, present as) a wide range of different personalities, so as to appeal to an equally wide audience and aid in creating more unique music for the group.

Typically, Idol anime follow one or more of these groups as they aim for stardom, with a variety of different conditions depending on the premise. Some, though, take a far different approach, standing out as particularly notable, be that for better or worse.

Listed are entries given the theme tag "Idols," but whose content differs from what one would expect from the genre. Specifically, if either A) the aims of the Idols in the shows differ from simply acquiring popularity or winning a contest, or B) if the route through which the Idols seek those goals heavily involve something other than simply singing.

Shows where the Idols are themselves the "not very Idol-y things" (e.g, Zombieland Saga) are not shown, as their actual exploits are more in line with what the genre is known for. Some shows that are not tagged as "Idols" but otherwise fulfil the conditions laid out (e.g, Visual Prison) are shown, out of the curator's discretion. Sequels are not listed for brevity.

This stack is on animes based off a trading card game.
Note:Only including animes that plays the card game in the show and not animes with a trading card game accompanying it. So shows like Pokemon/Digimon/DBZ/One piece etc won't be included.

Includes all* anime on the Anime+/GRAPH mahou shoujo/magical girl achievement list

Notes:
If the anime is saved under a different name in the original list (and the ID matches), the listed title is added as a comment. The anime will keep its place according to the list - even if it will no longer be alphabetically correct according to its main title on MAL. This is to make the job of checking and updating these much easier for me.

*The main stacks do NOT include hentai. This is both for people who want to avoid it, and because including it will significantly limit the stack. Please proceed to the Hentai Edition™ in the list below if you're into that.

No idea why some of these shows aren't tagged with the magical girl theme.

Now including magical boy anime since there really is no tag for that.
