Idols are not counted as performing artists?
Other forgotten gems: Detroit Metal City (about death metal and probably best comedy anime ever), Nitaboh: Tsugaru Shamisen Shiso Gaibun (story of inventor of new shamisen playing style), Sero Hiki no Gōshu (Isao Takahata take on orchestral music and fairy tales).

Lots of stuff in this list that I want to check out. And I'm going to add to the chorus of Nodame lovers. Your Lie in April is really good melodrama but I'm personally more invested in stories like in Nodame Cantabile that I can relate to. Then again Your Lie in April is more visually interesting. I'd say it really comes down to how much I adore the characters in Nodame.

That was the first one I thought of as well. The whole list could have been filled with shows involving music, so I understand the rationale for keeping it, K-ON, Kids on the Slope, BECK, etc. off. |
I FORGOT ABOUT BECK OMG - you're right, both BECK and Kids on the Slope should have made it here.

If so, I would like to commend Mitsuwano (about 3 Maiko-in-training girls learning how to perform the traditional Kyōto dance, called odori) and Aki no Kanade ( taiko drumming)
About the Survey:
In the end I chose Accelerator's ability, but I was unsure between that and the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (both Kara no Kyōkai's Ryōgi Shiki and Tsukihime's Tōno Shiki possess this ability; grants its user the ability to see the "Life Line" of anything - buildings, cars, people, poisoned parts - and cut them). |
Thank you, I came here to ask for a taiko anime, and you had already posted one  Have to watch it sometime.

This is a pretty good list,but there are a lot of performing arts anime that weren't included on this list like "Kaliedo Star." Although,it was used last week,this would have been far more appropriate on this list than the other one.

You and me both. I marathoned the 2005 version last year on Crunchyroll, and was sad when I found out that the first half sold so poorly that they wouldn't release the second. It's a shame, since a lot of the most dramatic content happens in that second half.

Idols could probably get an entire column all on their own, and music in general does have a slot in Your Lie in April (despite the obvious musical style differences).

I would definitely have dropped NANA into that list, not so much as a show filled with music but as a story shaped by a kind of music and its impact on the people living its lifestyle.

Since when is Kabuki ancient? Its old for sure and defiantly old for arts accessible to the common citizen but its not ancient. Bugaku is ancient though no one in their right minds would make an anime about it.

I'm also in the large group of fans waiting for Sentai Filmworks to release the second half of Glass Mask. Alas, it'll come out when the manga does (which is probably never).
It's such a shame, as the second half is overall better than the first.

That's always the peril of "it gets better later on" motif - there may not be a chance for "later on" if they don't make the "early on" good enough to grab enough buyers.

One feels the two would actually go together rather well, considering that both thrive on particularly dramatic storytelling, well-worn tropes, and so on (and the interest being as much in the execution of the idea as the quality of the idea in the first place). I just don't think I've ever seen, or heard of, something that came anywhere near opera, whereas for ballet, for example, Princess Tutu is utterly immersed in it. |
Nodame has a character who's an opera singer, but she only shows up a couple of times.
For the record, the only thing Your Lie in April has over Nodame is that it's the more recent of the two, and that shouldn't be a judging factor.
