"Slice of life" is basically just a wildly abused blanket term for anything that isn't an action show. It's been like that for quite a while now.

>>147713116
this... what a masterpiece
i love it because it's a secure blanket for me, pure escapism

>>147713141
In the past it's been used for anything that can't be categorized as something else, like NNB. Shows devoid of drama, comedy not being the main focus, no romance stuff, generally slow paced, etc.
At least as far as I know.

>>147714000
Not really. A slice of someone's life would inherently include all the mundane aspects of their life, which would rule things out like Mushishi but include more fantasy such as Aria.

A number of dramas include mundane aspects of life as well. Hanasaku Iroha did have quite a bit of drama but it also focused a lot on the mundane parts and the problems that can arise from running an inn. However I wouldn't say something like Yahari is a SoL since it was nothing but drama attempting to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat (i.e. a lot of plot focus).

That's just my personal categorization though. I see genres as a series of tick boxes instead of the single defining trait that encompasses an entire show.

Mainly because CDGCT is a mediocre genre, that can exist only because of idealized, cute(obviously) girls. Just because drama is better in the movies or books, it doesn't stop it from being better than CDCGT.

Nope. Experimental shorts, and things that aren't listed as anime because of not being professional works have highest powerlevel.

Stages Of An Anime Fan

Stage 1: Is introduced to a popular, entry-level anime film such as Akira or Ghost in the Shell by a friend. Proceeds to explore the most famous anime films such as the above, Ghibli movies, etc.

Stage 2: Discovers shonen series, likely Bleach on Adult Swim. Briefly becomes an IRL version of Rikka from Chuunibyou. Does not yet understand why /a/ trolls shonenshit threads. Will hate self for the rest of his natural life for this brief phase.

Stage 3: Mature / deepfag phase. Once he begins to realize shonenshit is shit, begins to seek out “deep” and critically acclaimed anime such as Tatami Galaxy, Evangelion, Lain, etc. Starts debating the meaning of these anime on /a/, as well as starts trolling shonenshit threads, suddenly feeling superior to the plebes in said threads.

Stage 4: Moefag, the final phase. Decides to try a moe series which /a/ seems to love, such as Aria, or more recently Non Non Biyori, etc… justifying it to self as for “purely academic reasons,” e.g. so they can troll or shittalk these series with an informed viewpoint. Ends up discovering that nothing is more peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable than watching cute girls doing cute things. Ends up realizing that all “deep and mature” anime are actually pretentious bullshit.

Slice of Life has existed as a literary genre for over 120 years. Just because a bunch of kids recently started misusing it on a few anime forums, doesn't legitimize the change in definition.
