The artstyle and animation looks great but I'm not very sure if im gonna enjoy the plot or not cause the only genre is slice of life. Are there any more genre's like romance or is it just slice of life?

The artstyle, animation, opening and endings are really good. If you want to watch some relaxing slice of life then it’s worth

It's very good so far.
Visuals are absolutely phenomenal and story as far as iyashikey goes is also very good.
Definetely one of the best iyashikey in the last few years.
Ar least so far.

I'd say its worth a watch. Visuals are pretty nice and the characters are really cool though im not sure where the story's really heading.

It's animation and visuals are really good but it's no more than a slice of life with a small plot about the aquarium that whether it will be saved or it will be closed ( it's not a spoiler ).
If you like slice of life then it's a enjoyable show..

It’s a definitely a slow-burning anime. Savor each episode, relax. There’s enough heavy melodrama and action anime, watch this when you just need to lay back for a second and enjoy a summer feeling.

It's a nice show to just enjoy for what it is. Simply enjoy the nice visuals and chill.
Tho it probably will have some Drama at some point.

The only genre listed is Slice of Life, but I would say it could also list Drama as well and still be an accurate representation.

After Slice of Life, it has some dramatic elements first and foremost and secondarily some comedic elements. Both are still pretty calm and subdued tonally and don't dominate the mood of all scenes and the entire series. As in, it's not an intensive drama (so far anyway, but I don't expect this type of series to radically shift direction midway or in the last quarter). The dramatic elements are well-integrated into the whole.

If you have seen or are otherwise familiar with the series Hanasaku Iroha, this seems most similar to that out of what I've seen. It's a P.A. Works original 20-something episode series which is first and foremost a Slice of Life at heart with some mild to moderate drama and some mild to moderate comedy. None of which aggressively dominate the entire focus and atmosphere of the show or all its constituent parts. And if you look at the MAL archival page for that series, alongside SoL, it also lists Drama and Comedy.

Romance, no (at least not yet in any overt way - someone would have to interpret the most minor things to see romance and basically construct their own head canon in the same way you could for any other series). Even Hanasaku Iroha, which had a very light and tame amount of romance and doesn't even list Romance as a genre on its own page alongside the others I mentioned above, clearly had more romance than this.

Wait until the first cour ends. So far the direction is rather aimless and quite contrived due to some details that make no sense or are rather purpousedly ambiguous.

if you just wanna kick back and watch some nice visuals with chill vibes go for it but if SoL without a major story focus isn't your thing i can't say how much you'll like it with the set up only really being the characters in the first cour

personally it's one of my favorites of a dud of a summer but i love all P.A SoL works

Yes. The visuals are definitely fantastic but the characters and the story are also very good as of so far

It's not worth your time.
I was hoping for something similar to "Nagi no Asu kara" and was disappointed.

If however you gonin with zero expectations, you could get something out of it.
