I also don’t believe what Tohru said about Kanna playing pranks which caused her to get kicked out, because her personality has not shown that she is capable of it. Her voice is monotone all the time and suddenly she is good at everything human world for one reason or another. Why? Because her only personality traits is cute and sh is a mary sue. The small dragon that everybody seems to love for one reason or another bores me. I know that they are going for a small dragon family thing in this series, but I just can’t find myself caring about it. I don’t know about you guys, but maid outfits in anime don’t do anything for me. Yes, there is dragon stuff sometimes, but there is also maid stuff. I honestly don’t get what people see in this show. I know there is an audience for them because they wouldn’t be made otherwise, but they aren’t for me.įinally, I get to why I wrote this piece in the first place.
#Slice of life anime series#
Kyoani is not astudio I usually watch series from because of shows like this. If I wasn’t a band geek, this show would never have appealed to me in the slightest. They were so gorgeously animated and the songs were so cool. I realize that there a lot of moe elements and the show focused on these cute girls in short skirts with heavily implied yuri and had maybe three male characters with names, but it still got all of the band drama and band life elements right. I have been a band geek my entire life (still am), so this series automatically appealed to me. The only reason why it ever caught my attention was because it was band themed. I also doubt a slice of life series would appear like this again, but I will try to look for one.Īs for my cute girls doing cute things show, it’s Sound! Euphonium. I wish this show had a second season, because I would watch it in a heartbeat. Also, the mystical elements like a giant turtle in the sky that was like Laputa or the Veil of Night enjoying a meal at a magical café was so great. The main character is a witch and seeing her learn the mundane and her showing her relatives magic stuff was always interesting to me. The series barely has a driving force, but the world and the interactions between the characters was so interesting to me. Both of these series are great in that sort of way.Īt this moment, I think Flying Witch is my perfect slice of life series. While there are moments when the main set of characters just sit down and talk to each other, but there is still a driving force that makes these characters work together to solve problems. Both of these series center around a group of cute girls that are not in high school working in the anime industry and trying to save a small farm town respectively. How many series do that? There is also Shirobako and Sakura Quest. At the end of this series, the girls graduate. Azumanga Daioh is a slice of life kind of series with good comedy, but it also has some forward momentum because three years of high school pass in twenty-four episodes. My issue with slice of life series is that I have to feel like it is going somewhere. Now I am actively seeking out romance anime with no issues, but still have some hang ups with slice of life series. At that moment, I didn’t think either of those were for me. We get to know these characters through how they interact with each other. As for slice of life elements, episodes centered around life around the ship. It was unrequited for a while, but it started to heat up when Mirai’s former fiancé showed up. While the main protagonist went through his own romantic issues in the show, there is also the romance of Captain Bright and Mirai Yashima. The original Gundam series is a war drama centered around giant robots fighting each other, but it also has elements of slice of life and romance in it. I’m going to use the original Gundam series as an example for this. The main reason why I never sought out slice of life and romance anime until recently is because those two concepts felt like only a singular slices of a completed anime series. Unless there is a change in circumstances, it’s not my kind of thing at this moment. This isn’t always effective though, but it needs to be so much more than cute girls doing cute things with some exceptions. This doesn’t require a lot, just something to make it stand out. That doesn’t’ mean that I don’t try watching anime in this certain genre, but it takes something special for me to stick around. It’s in the same sort of place that romance anime used to be. I am not the largest fan of slice of life anime. If you haven’t, you are about to learn something more about me.
If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you would notice that I don’t talk about slice of life anime a lot or barely at all.
