Its called Healing Anime for a reason OP

Aimed at Salarymen and virign NEETs to hopefully stop them killing themselves.

Two in the morning, apparently. Probably shown at different times/channels on a few-day delay, as usual.

Why is it all highschool shit though.

Is there a good slice of life anime with adults?

Me and all my fellow citizens with good taste.

As a wagecuck in late 20s i can confirm this. Shows like Yuru Yuri prevent my suicide.

98.5% of the seasonal anime that gets discussed on /a/ airs from 12 am to 3am

>>146227386
>12 am to 3am
Look at this casual
The right timewindow is clearly 24:00 - 27:00

>>146226834
why the fuck are you blogging?

/a/

>>146225784
Literally required in Japan in order to not get fired for being too difficult to work with.

>>146228158
This.
Or if not fired, socially ostracised and bullied. Gotta be part of the team, even if it does mean you get no sleep and your performance at work suffers.
Japan has a completely fucked work ethic of working too hard.

>>146226750
Because the target audience of healing anime prefers being reminded of the time when their life didn't suck.

16-25 year old guys.

>>146226750
>Why is it all highschool shit though.
In Japan, life ends after highschool. After highschool is when the 8am-midnight workday begins, with unpaid overtime on the weekends.
Highschool is simply the last point in time in a Japanese person's life where they had a life.

>>146220759
Hiroyuki.
Now he just needs a slice of life anime about someone that manages to buy a small imageboard website that is falling apart in which he manages to glue it all together after some shenanigans with his group of classmates and friends so it can return to its golden years. Then he'll truly feel bliss.

>>146228336
And then sell it to google, where the one he got it from works, and then everyone profits.
Genius, moot

>>146227299
Adults are just teenagers pretending to not be stupid by learning to put on a professional/fake face.

There are people who blame declining birthrates on anime and not the fact that everyone works their ass off to absurd lengths.

>>146232402
>who blame declining birthrates on anime
Does anyone actually blame anime, isn't it just a meme?

>>146232430
>Does anyone actually blame anime, isn't it just a meme?
Yes, just like you got some western faggots blaming everything bad on videogames.

>>146232430
Mainly selfhating weebs like Gaijin Goomba.

>>146228207
>Japan has a completely fucked work ethic of working too hard.
Really? I heard everyone is just dicking around doing nothing all day because they can't leave before their boss leaves. And the boss can of course not go too early, either.

Better question is what is required from someone to make slice of life anime. Answer is lazyness and lack of inspiration. In every damn scene people yelling "NANIIIIIIII" or "EHHHHHHH"

>>146232430
Seems true enough, why enter a costly relationship when you can just spent a couple hundred bucks on some toys to to satisfy your sexual lust

>>146233025
Don't blame the people who make it, blame the people who want to watch it.

SoL is good for people who just want to watch cute girls doing cute things and not care about the plot or who the fuck is who.

>>146232430
>>146232492
>>146233198
Just a fraction of Japanese adults watch anime, so it can't be the main cause of the declining birthrates.

On the other hand, the crazy work schedules seem like a better candidate for that. When you have to work through the whole day, every day, eventually you even stop thinking about finding a woman, or a man.

Liking cute things is an evolutionary advantageous trait and is perfectly normal, it's just become the socially normal thing to deny it because it's not one of the arbitrary group of things considered okay for men to like. I don't see how it's odd at all for men to enjoy something that combines cuteness with an idealized version of femininity and youth. It's absolutely a form of escapism for a lot of people but I really don't see how that's a bad thing. Everyone has something they do to "get away from it all". If anything you're the "low iq shithead" for thinking you're better than anyone else for their choice of entertainment.

Disregarding that, you're conflating sexual attraction with platonic attraction or a desire to protect. The two aren't mutually exclusive of course but you can very much have one without the other. Besides, there are plenty of cute women in CGDCT

So your only gripe is that you find the reasons and people who enjoy these shows "sad"? Good for you I suppose but why are you even here if you think that? This is an anime forum and you're acting shocked that people like a specific type of anime. Nobody is under the impression that liking moe anime is socially acceptable or even socially normal.

I don't think I do though. I agree that liking anime isn't socially acceptable, but I don't agree that it's intrinsically a sad thing. I was just stating that a good number of people do. People holding an opinion doesn't make it true. And you haven't answered why you're even here other than the obvious, which is to make yourself feel better than strangers on the internet. If you've got such disdain for other people's taste why not go back to whatever echo chamber you came from and discuss anime there?

Hamsters
Slice of life that was good but fit poorly into the overall structure of the show and was constantly at odds with the tone and the actual plot
A plot that didn't really go anywhere and lacked a satisfying payoff
A love interest/macguffin who spent 90% of the show just being a name that was thrown around and not actually present.
Mediocre but frequent action scenes that weren't really all that entertaining
