~ A Decade of Idols ~
Of the various 10 year anniversaries I've celebrated, I never expected idols to be one of them. My first idol anime was The iDOLM@STER back in February 2014. While I still wouldn't dare don that title, I've definitely had a great time constantly delving into this particular subgenre. It's become one of my favorites right along with sports.
While "Ai" adore the performative aspects of it, my favorite part of idol anime is often the optimism & encouragement. It can pick me up on the worst of days and give me that extra push to keep pursuing my own dreams.
I particularly wanted to do this theme because I'm coming up on the ten year anniversaries of when I started Aikatsu & PriPara (July 2014), both of which I'm still catching up on their franchises & loving.
