| You came to that conclusion after one episode? It's clear you're a troll not just from this thread, but by your list too. |

| Even if it appears as slice of life it doesn't try to be a one. I don't really see why you would put it under that tag, though. Fits better to mystery, adventure, supernatural, school. Heck, atm it's even closer to romance drama than slice of life. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Genre is important. I'm personally trying to decide if it's worth watching, and genre is determinative here: if it's slice of life, I won't watch, but if it's mystery, I'll give it a try. |

Slice of life is not just "cute girls doing cute things", it's broad and encompasses anime like Mushishi, Kino's Journey, GTO, Haruhi, Usagi Drop, Aria, Haibane Renmei, Azumanga Daioh, Clanand After Story, Natsume Yuujinchou, Nodame Cantabile, etc. If you avoid an anime because it's labeled under a genre you usually dislike then you have more problems here than anybody else. |

| mystery was better than slice of life.. |

It's clear you're a troll not just from this thread, but by your list too. its clear u dont know what ur talking about, just by ur reply that ppl actually judge other ppls based on their lists and go suck ur dick dont get me wrong i am really looking towards hyouka its just ppl are expecting some great major mystery, when its probably gonna be about the activities of the classics club http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-9077.html#more this is a general summary for eps 2-7 for hyouka. theres certainly plot but its mostly gonna be high school life stuff once again, i am all for hyouka, im really looking forward to it. if im wrong feel free to cuss me out all u want, even though i wont give a shit You post a link to a site no one here but you can read. That's great. How about before you say something is slice of life, try reading the source material. It doesn't matter if eps 2-7 is just "gonna be high school life stuff". This series is 21 episodes long. You're concerned over 33% of the show with no idea what happens after that. And really.. telling me to go suck my dick? Grow up. Why are you so offended by my post? Forums are for discussion. If you can't take someone criticizing you then just don't post so your feelings don't get hurt. |

| No matter how people claim it's not slice-of-life.... it's slice-of-life so far. Equally valid compared to mystery classification. I don't see what's so hard to debate here... And people calling each other trolls. This is why I feel like flaming every single post I see. |

| I don't get why it should be labeled as slice of life. that's like labeling slice of life on any show that just has 1 episode that's slice of life-ish. This stuff shouldn't even be mentioned let alone argued about until the show is over anyways. |
| If I can't change something that's wrong somewhere I don't bother... You guys are too passionate. |

Almost none of those are Slice of life though. Showing what characters`do in a day isn't slice of life when those events are plot intensive and/or story driven. |

| 2 episodes in, it's still just a (boring) slice of life. The mystery is "Why would someone rent an unpopular book". It's just a 13 episodes anime ;) |

And yeah, sometimes everyday misterys can be refreshing. Oh yeah :P No I just forgot :P |

| Hyouka is Slice of Life? IT IS, KyoAni did mentioned it in the trailer (implied). It just that people were too ignorant to do a lil-bit research. Well, can't blame them tho, since the original material is nowhere could be seen. Veronin said: CG said: Genre is important.

You're talking to 10-14 yrs-old, so of course he wouldn't like whatever you mentioned. kurizentalk said: mystery was better than slice of life.. Thats weird, because SoL has the highest rank overall compared to Mystery (Not to mention it sells more than mystery, even if you compare it to Naruto) :/ |
 |
| i really dont think this is a SoL. |
nelsonbrabra said: It's not.i really dont think this is a SoL. Seems a lot of people here don't know what SoL is. People are confusing the 'School' genre with SoL. When this series first started it was only under 'Mystery'. Now 'School' is added which is exactly what it is. There's a difference between School and SoL. Des said: No. It's like calling rom-coms SoL. 2 episodes in, it's still just a (boring) slice of life. ) Just no. There's a reason SoL is its own genre otherwise nearly every anime would fall under it. |

| Well they put Haruhi as slice of life even though by your strict definition that is not 100% correct. Thus, there is valid reason to believe this can be considered slice of life. Maybe after the second arc is over it will be become a bit more obvious. http://chikorita157.com/2010/08/20/what-is-the-definition-of-slice-of-life-anime/ |

| guys...some you really need a hobby or something. To me, slice-of-life is less an anime genre on it's own and more some kind of style in storytelling. There are mystery stories, comedy stories, drama stories etc. that are presented with slice-of-life storytelling(what i would define as a storytelling focused on "realistic" character development and presentation of their lifes from different angles) and the genre of these stories would be mystery, comedy or drama. |

Someone finally gets it. But the "genre" of MAL is not really the genre in the literary sense. It's a very loose system of categorization. And those stories using slice-of-life style should be categorized as such. |

And those stories using slice-of-life style should be categorized as such. I'm aware of that(school isn't a genre either ;) ). That's ok. Hyouka has some SOL elements in its storytelling, so this category can be added. I only had a really big problem with calling slice-of-life a genre. To me, Hyouka is a school-based MYSTERY show(at least until now) told with a bit of SOL and i won't kill anyone over thinking otherwise xD |

| Moderately dull Slice of Life with some mystery added for good measure |
Ajunky said: I don't know about the novel, but the anime is skipping anything that's not a "mystery" (like how or when did Ibara join the club). We don't see the daily routines or troubles of these characters. The interactions are, again, mostly about the mysteries, and they rarely talk about themselves. Hm, but you see, so far the entire series has been about your typical high school life, portrayed in an extremely mundane and realistic fashion. The entire directing of this series is based on realistic and mundane conversation between characters, typical of KyoAni. The story definitely follows a slice-of-life style narrative. |

| I believe "mystery" in Hyouka is as much (or not far) as what you can call "music" in K-ON. K-ON is a story about girls doing music, Hyouka is a story about friends solving mystery, but neither are precisely relying in their main theme as the main plot. The main theme for Hyouka is "adolescence", do some googling at the director's pre-talk. Hyouka definetely is more like a character driven show. That's why most people that disappointed with Hyouka are mystery fans, since they're expecting the wrong thing. And...Yes, if you call slice of life as a genre, Hyouka should also count as one. |
zeroyuki92 said: I believe "mystery" in Hyouka is as much (or not far) as what you can call "music" in K-ON. Yes, that's why you need to look at it from a different perspective. That's also why I think this should at least have a label of slice-of-life on MAL. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| So someone can enlighten us on why it's still not classified as a series with slice of life elements? |
