Taking a look at anime whose main focus is music, and how it relates to the real world. Taken a look at would be, at least...

The pop idol superhero genre(Full Moon wo Sagoshite, Mermaid Pichi Pichi etc.)
Beck
Princess Tutu
Others? My twinnie says Perfect Blue, but would that really count?

I was watching Princess Tutu, and thinking about this a lot over vacation, especially since I got to see some ballet on my trip.

I'd like to take this time to shamefully self promote myself, and say that,

Yuffie is freaking awesome!

i'd be there, gravitation and and, other stuff. also we could talk about how music plays a major role in anime like .hack, champloo, and flcl.

also, just let me stay.

i do kick alot of ass myself and my ruleyness is of the scale.
that's all

I do like Beck...................

dude, have you seen the Beck boxset yet? It's so pretty!

It's so pretty *rad*!!

Seriously, screw what Cori says, I'm glad I decided to buy it.

And no, Perfect Blue wouldn't count. While she starts out as an idol, she eventually drops the music scene. Plus the music wasn't a big part of it to begin with. The best idol-esque show however is, indeed, Idol Project.

And if we're talking about the best kind of music, Violinist of Hameln is indeed the best music-anime show. Well next to Nodame. But Nodame doesn't have Hamel, so it's not as awesome.

Pretty Aweosme!

Everyone seems to be forgetting a very important anime in which music played a HUGE role in: COWBOY BEBOP <3

I just started watching that to be honest.

*gasps* That's blasphamy! I love it! If you couldn't tell...it's my favorite anime XD I own the series and the movie so I watch it over and over again from time to time. How do you like the series so far?

My boyfriend's best friend said the same thing and tried to throw me off the couch for it...

But I love it, love it to death. x3 Although not as much as Tutu.

Watching is going slow, because I'm watching it with my twin, and we don't share much free time. I really want to see the movie, my cousins were major fanboys over it.

i tried to watch tutu but i just wasn't that good, it don't compair to bebop. bebop is the reason most of my friends watch anime now. it's a gate way anime simalar to weed and poke'mon.


i still have two friend that haven't seen it but then again i don't call them friends.

To each their own, I was really impressed bu Tutu. ^^

If I had seen Weed before any other anime, I highly doubt I would've continued watching anime at all... x_x;;;

tutu wasn't bad but i just couldn't sit down and watch but normally i don't mind slow paced anime.

Okay, I would like to suggest a Pokemon Panel. That panel saved Ikasucon for me. Pokemon and Mike, to much for one panel to handle? I'll let you decide :alco:

Well, you need to start a new topic, if you want to suggest an idea.

But we had a pokemon panal! Although no Mike on the panal, there was someone equally cool hosting it, myself. I am actually one of the craziest, most obsessive pokemon fans you'll ever meet. Pokemon is my thing.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the panel ^_^
I had a lot of fun hosting it, it was the highlight of my Ikasu as well.

Who in the audience were you?

(Yuffie, I hosted pokemon panels at Colossal and Ikasu)

(To be honest, I'm kinda surprised, saying as pokemon isn't something you know too much about. Does that mean I've been replaced at ap?

But I'm glad you had fun, it is an awesome topic to host)

I am Bryce. One of the guys you were rooming with :)
