The slice-of-life genre has become somewhat of a staple in the world of anime. Being a break from some of the more linear genres out there, the primary goal of slice-of-life has always been to reel in the viewer through relatable occurrences or actions. However, oftentimes, this simplistic approach can be superseded by unexpected greatness. Whether it be in the form of well-written comedy or an intricately woven central plotline, plenty of series in this overpopulated genre go unnoticed due to preconceived disposition.
I am here to shatter that illusion with five of my absolute favorite slice-of-life shows- each one jumping through different hoops to stand out amongst the others they may be compared to. These will be presented in no particular order, but please be advised that I wholeheartedly endorse each one.
