Where in the hell is Azumanga Daioh?
Azumanga Daioh is a slice of life classic.
Legitimately shit list without it.
Also misses my favorite, Genshiken.
Genshiken was fucking horrible, anime form at least.
azumanga was pathetically slow paced for a something that's based off a 4 koma...
over all im not surprised neither are on the list, just because something is a classic doesn't mean it was good.
azumanga, if the adaptation wasn't horrifically batched, would be on any top 10, but for fuck sake was it bad.
Yeah not legit without Azumanga Daioh poppin' up...
Plenty of clones and rip off's of it I guess, but yeah...
Nothing is original anymore meh
Elevens barely remember last season, let alone a decade ago.
I am frankly more surprised by the absence of Hyakko.
I was glad Aria was on the list but now depressed because no Hyakko.
The 11s didn't like Hyakko so it wouldn't enter their mind much.
It needs continuation~~ The artist moved on ;_;
Worse yet, some of the best ones are on the bottom.
NO "Genshiken"? they fuck is wrong w/ Anime fans? oh yeah, that 2nd season was kinda GAY
Lots of stuff in Genshiken was literally gay, but it was still an awesome series.
What's the problem with homosexuality?
Either way, I'm surprised I didn't see Hyouka on there, that being more recent.
It would definitely have been great to see Genshiken and Azumanga Daioh on there though.
Otaku want their aslice-of-life anime like they want their girls, under 12 and full of moe.
Danshi Kokousei says hello.
Can Zetsubou Sensei be considered slice of life?
Oda wants to come too.
Hidenori and Yoshitake says hello and challenges you to unzip your pants by using willpower alone.
They conicenentally named their dicks moe.
I'd put the Aria at the top of the list.
But I'd also add:
Hanasaku no Iroha
Sakamichi no Apollon.
Nobody ever remembers of Sketchbook...
Yea, liked that one a lot.
i love that series... and yes no one ever remembers that.. :(
I'd toss Natsume Yuujinchou on there if the definition of slice of life hadn't been changed a few years ago so it meant "slice of almost nothing".
been a while since I saw anything, even pictures from A channel, makes me slightly happy it has not gone the route of most and forgotten after the season ends.
No Clannad, no ussefull top
Clannad was number one in a poll with the same name. These top lists are as random as a Nichijou chapter can get.
Nope. Nichijou episode is more predictable and consistent when compared to polls in sankaku
sorry WTF, did ppl just forget about Azumanga, still the greastest. Also sad K-ON! isn't in the top 3. Also Tmako Market is kind of shit, why so high?
Have Tamako Market be done by another studio and with the same story, and that show doesn't even sniff the top 30
A Channel needs another season.
I second this.
>> 1. Minami-ke series
Yes.
>> 20. ARIA series
Should be way higher.
totally agree aria should be way higher if not top 5
ARIA should be number 1, imo.
I think Working should be a bit higher too.
Almost. YKK 1st, then Aria. Right?
If only YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU could get a single 1-cour late night series, then it would probably be more recognized. 2 short OVA series with 2 episodes apiece, and the most recent episode having shipped a full decade ago now, probably isn't enough for it to be remembered as an anime, though, if this were a poll of slice-of-life manga, I'd have every confidence that YKK would be right up near the top along with YOTSUBA&!.
wait, YKK have an OVA? dang I don't even know about it, time to do some hunting.
but still for me Aria > YKK.
YKK has two OVAs, I think they're two episodes each. I personally feel it works better as a manga, but the OVAs do have nice music.
YKK? Only people with taste would know what that is, let alone liking it enough to rank it high.
I agree... ARIA is a masterpiece. But I think the fact that it doesn't have fanservice(which it sure hell didn't need!) is most likely the reason for its low placement.
Danshi Kokousei has no fanservice whatsoever, and all the main casts are male, while all the females are batshit crazy.
Take it you haven't seen alot of Mio's scenes.
K-On! has no fanservice either.
Minami almost don't have it, either. So does Nichijou.
Bad idea to use the word "fanservice" when people don't realize it means more than ecchi and nudity. Even if K-on is nothing but fanservice for people who like "cute girls doing cute things" anime, they'll never admit it because there aren't any panty shots.
Mio Akiyama, the only anime girl who made a rice bowl sexy.
another crap list
What crap ? this list is totally legitimate
There are always somebody who will disagree no matter good or bad your list.
Ad expected for those shameful moetards, fucking disgrace, as fans and as persons.
lol, what SOL show is not 'moe' by your definition?
Space Brothers? House of Five Leaves? Haibane Renmei? Planetes?
Oh, right. They can't be slice of life, because the definition's changed to mean "Kyoani style anime with cute girls doing as little as possible"
@18:29: nice non-sequitur comeback. If I could understand your point, I might be able to argue with you, but I guess that you just wanted to pretend I'm elitist for offering some slice of life that isn't what you happen to like. Classy.
@ 08:06: You sure are one white, jaded and elitist fan.
