* HaremGenre: Discussed with {{Anime/Lovedol}} in more detail in Anime/UtaNoPrinceSama. She mentions while she used to be on the bandwagon of [[BiasSteamroller hating the entire genre]], the latter isn't necessarily proof that not all of them are necessarily bad shows.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Viga loses track of what she was talking about due to the ''anime... hot... men... asses... asses...''

''Idols of Anime'' is a Website/YouTube series by Viga (whom readers may know as [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]'s fiancee), reviewing IdolSinger anime in roughly chronological order, and talking about the history of the genre. To qualify, the series' main focus must be the idols (which disqualifies shows such as the ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' franchise, as well as ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''). Viga also makes a distinction between idol anime and band anime (such as ''[[Manga/{{KOn}} K-On]]'') - the latter do not qualify, either.
