Music has always played an important part in any entertainment industry, and in the anime industry, several music-themed series has already taken prominence. Japanese media website, Goo, which has previously taken a look at the best idol anime, has also asked its fans which musical anime is their favorite.
Like the the best idol anime ranking, 500 people were polled, 250 of which were male, while another 250 were female. Here is what they had to say:
20) Bremen 4 : Angels in Hell

1) Nodame Cantabile
Romance anime, Nodame Cantibile pulls one from under the nose of heavy favorite, K-on! in this Goo! ranking. The Japanese seem to have a lot of love for classical music as four of the Top 10 all featured classical music, including the #1.
While only taking #2, K-On! still remains as a powerhouse in the musical genre and is proving to be one of the most well known. Meanwhile, the highest ranking idol anime is Macross Frontier at #3, with iDOLM@STER only placing at #12. Meanwhile, Love Live! is nowhere to be found in the Top 20.
