Anime

Subsubsub Genre

Has anyone worked out a classification system for anime series about young girls who long to be idol singers and are suddenly granted the power to turn into teenagers and launched into a successful but traumatic career?

Taking into account such factors as the species of their talking animal companions, whether or not they are dying of cancer, that sort of thing?

Just wondering, that's all.

It's getting as bad as robot maids and schoolgirls falling into parallel universes that only they can save.

1 "Magical Girl/Idol". Of the various magical girl/idol shows, I think I liked Full Moon o Sagashite best. I liked that cheerful mix of kawaii and fatalistic gloom.

2 Yes, but I wanted to classify the subsubsub genres within the Magical Girl/Idol subsub genre. So we could have Magical Girl/Idol/Dinosaur Fairy and Magical Girl/Idol/Death Spirit and so on. Err... Or maybe not.
