I Want to watch a Pure Slice of Life Anime

To be honest, this is going to be a bit of a difficult request. Although there are many, many slice of life anime the type I enjoy the most is when there are no plot developments, no twists, no plot in general, just people talking and having life. I don't know why I'm so picky about this but I have three anime to base this on.

The anime on which I base pure slice of life anime on are the following: Lucky Star, Non Non Biyori, and although this starts to wander a bit far away from what I enjoy I think it's close enough, Is the Order a Rabbit. I don't get the same feeling from a show if the comedy starts to overpower the show such as one of the more popular Nichijou, which I've never actually enjoyed.

If any of you could manage to help me I'd be very happy, I'm really sorry that I'm so picky when it comes to what type of slice of life I want as well, but if you do manage to find something please tell me! Thank you for your time <3

After a bunch of submissions to this forum I'm quite happy to say that I haven't watched about one half of the suggestions, so I have a bunch of stuff to watch now ^_^ thanks!

supernatural elements aside, it's like a nichijou with less absurdism and peculiarity

+1 to Kimi to Boku, absolutely.

I loved that show. The characters are charming. The atmosphere is relaxing. It is a great SoL.

I would also add in Yama no Susume as a possibility.
It's an anime short with two seasons. Cute girls climbing mountains.

+Fune wo Amu - one of my favorites from last year

Hidamari Sketch - four girls attend an arts high school; from Shinbo and SHAFT with multiple seasons; to accentuate the slice-of-life feel the episodes are not temporally ordered

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - out-of-order episodes as well; if you've watched Lucky Star and not watched Haruhi, then you missed a bunch of references like this:

Haruhi and Konata are both voiced by Hirano Aya. There's also a "meta" scene in Lucky Star where Konata and friends attend a concert by Hirano.

Perhaps more continuity than you're looking for:
Usagi Drop - 30-yo unmarried salaryman adopts his grandfather's illegitimate young daughter
Uchuu Kyoudai ("Space Brothers") - two Japanese brothers strive to become astronauts
