| I watch natsume yuujinchou,and it got interest me because it's very inspiring and heart warming^ |
| I like it because is normal life and every day life of normal people. Sometimes this animes are boring but in the mayority are really interesting. That's why I like them. |
| It's mostly because they're just fun and simple, and I also feel very simple so it's kind of relate-able?? |

| SoL anime geneally get pretty high ratings from me because I like it neat and simple. Most have a happy atmospehere, can't really say I hate that and are slow paced, making it a relaxing experience. |
| 'Cause it's calm, simple and natural. |
| cause when u watch it its relaxing and chill |
 |
| Since most people mention relaxation and calmness, I'm listening to one of my favourite Aria songs once again ~ |
| That's a legit reason. Enjoying someone's life, which is the theme of a lot of SoL anime, is always better and more valuable to watch than the nth generic and predictable shounen battle, or a random harem series where nothing happens and the viewer feels annoyed almost all the time. Life is short enough, so one should always avoid spending free time with stuff which doesn't give you the best feeling. |
| Makes me feel better and more appreciative about life ;_; |
| I like to watch them because they give me ability to put myself in the show and use my imagination :)! i enjoy escaping the harshness of reality for a while and get involved in the good stories in romance, slice of life and drama genres! |
Zacfish33 said: I like to watch them because they give me ability to put myself in the show and use my imagination :)! Yes indeed. That's also a reason why I don't want to miss a good fantasy setting in my anime from time to time. Shironeko- said: Makes me feel better and more appreciative about life ;_; Once someone appreciates life as a whole, and understands how harsh it can be not only for you, but for everyone else around you too, you simply want to get involved with their lives, help them grow and understand their situation as best as you can. Having proper interpersonal relations is important nowadays, and a lot of SoL can help us realize that there's more to people than what they show on the outside. An added psychological element can also come in handy here. |
| I like them because they're very relaxing, most are pretty cute. I also like the comedy in most of them. |

| Slice of Life anime is very relaxing to me because it somewhat portray the life of people especially youngsters. I can relate to some of their action. |
| more meaningful<3 |
| They're good to watch when I'm stressed or bored. |
 |
| I like feels and life lessons, SOL is my favorite genre. |
"So wave goodbye to the hope we were born with, and say farewell to the chance of surviving this holocaust of love, this age of lost souls, but I'm holding on with both hands and I'm never letting go." |
| Oh yes, life lessons. Sometimes you simply want to be overwhelmed by the power of life itself, even if it might be cliche here and there. Less can me so much more. |
| Yup. Can't even count how many times have i recognised and related myself in certain situations. Definetly a life lession material, each will find his unique life lession. |
| What is wrong with loving someone who doesn't exist ? Absolutely nothing. As long as you make peace with it. |
| Because I love character-driven stories. Human beings have infinite potential so it is always interesting and fun to see all the different kinds a work of fiction can offer. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Because it's closer to reality. I suppose that my life is worthless and (probably subconsciously) I would like be a character of anime. |
 |
| I usually get put off from stuff that tries so hard to be larger-than-life, spectacular or "epic", as it usually ends up feeling hollow for me. SoL is usually a much more down-to-earth and tightly-focused experience, as it focuses on characters and visuals rather than trying to tell the most "epic" story possible (which doesn't work most of the time). Additionally, they can just be hilarious sometimes. |
| unexpected humor ;D also slice of life keeps me from binge watching, so I can have anime to watch everyday |
| Because slice of life is relaxing, funny and hearthwarming at the same time! Slice of life keeps me from binge watching too. I have a lot of things to do and little time, so slice of life is perfect for my everyday. I can watch 1 episode at breakfast, another at dinner, and another before bedtime :) And, last but not least, I like watching cute girls doing cute things :P |

| Besides it being calming and hearthwarming I guess I like slice of life exactly because nothing really happens. I prefer it when there is little to no drama, nothing threatening the peace and consistance of the world. It is something I long for in real life as well so I guess this desire kinda translates into anime/manga for me. When I started with anime I watched titles like Code Geass, One Piece and FMA, all great anime in their own right but when I am now to be persuaded to watch a new anime of similar genre it must be extremely good to catch my eye. With slice of life on the contrary I just need to see a few interesting characters and a bit of comedy mixed in and I am glued to the Screen ;) |
 |
| Because most Slice_of_Life are really simple and cute.Sometimes after a hard day I need a Slice_of_Life anime because it makes me happy. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| Slice of Life to me is just calming. I watch it to be just something I can smile about and enjoy often without complaining about X or Y. Often it happens anyway, but usually that's just a single character. First SoL I watched was probably Clannad, but the one that got me into the genre would have been Non Non Biyori. It got me to really start going back after others of these shows, and even start really adding them to what I'd want to watch. |
| Is light. Some can be warm and can be full of emotions. Basically. |
| Because I like Japan and want to know know more about Japanese culture. I also hate shows with fighting/bloodshed. |
| sometimes I just really want mindless mess around or a temporary escape. |
    |
| Mostly because it's cute an lighthearted, so I can just sit back and relax without having to worry too much about missing important plot points :p Also because it's often more realistic, which makes me able to relate to a lot of things that happens to the characters. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| A warm feel and smiling I guess? Also character interactions, i'm bad at explaining, they can be funny, happy, weird and so on. Wish I could describe what I mean better. |
| I really like the SOL genre because seeing the characters I learned to love so much trying their hardest at solving their day to day life problems pumps me up with energy. At the same time, I can relax watching them do basic stuff. It's usually a rollercoaster of emotions and I'm a big fan of that sort of stuff. I also think that it may be an escape from reality, not having to worry about real stuff for a bit but care about fictional characters. |
| Caring about fictional characters in an everyday environment, understanding why they take certain decisions based on their life situation, simply being part of more and enriching my own life with new ideas. Yup, the older I get, the more I appreciate these things over something such as the flashiest action, the coolest hero lines or the freshest jokes that turn into memes (not that I ever cared about these last things in the first place) |
| I love the SOL genre, since the story is soft and relatable. Slice of life is a great genre to watch when you just came home from work, and look for some refreshment. The genre has is own kind of humor, which I love. Also, the music in most of these anime really make my happy on a sad day. Overall, SOL makes me happy when i'm sad, and makes my laugh out loud( which I never do). |
