Music Anime
Music anime is all about bands forming, idols grinding, and that one insert song you loop for weeks afterward. *Nana* stands out by mixing rock aesthetics with messy adult relationships and an actually good soundtrack. When it's good, you genuinely care about the characters' creative struggles as much as their performances.
Common Misconception
Music anime is just glorified band promotion or idol fluff.
