Top 10 Best Slice of Life Anime

The Top Ten
1 Lucky Star Lucky star is an anime that first aired (april 8th, 2007 to September 16th, 2007) in Japan. The anime follows the daily lives of Konata Izumi, Kagami and Tsukasa hiiragi, and Miyuki Takura. The show is best known for the cute "moe" characters. The target audience is shouen.

The first one or at least one of those you think of before others. Filled with otaku culture, references, less or more relatabe characters, especially around the second half, and a soundtrack which is NOT killer but will set in your head directly. Also a show you either love or hate but can learn to love or at least appreciate that is filled with funny quotes here and there and feels different from each which views it from time to time. Also, a main reason people tend to ignore it is due to how boring they find the beginning to be and since they talk a lot in this show. But it is always about WHAT and HOW they talk about certain things. Plus, MOST SHOWS YOU WATCH HAVE A LOT OF TALKING IN THEM.

K-On was good, but honestly it's got nothing on Lucky Star.

4 K-On! K-ON! (けいおん!, literally 'Light Music') is a Japanese slice of life and comedy four-panel comic strip manga written and illustrated by Kakifly. It was serialized from 2007 to 2012, and there are six volumes to the manga in total. Kyoto Animation produced the anime adaptation, which aired over 2009 and 2010, over two seasons of 12 and 24 episodes respectively, with many extras, bonus shorts, and even a feature length film, which premiered in 2011.

The best anime ever made. It makes Lucky Star look like trash. Yet Lucky Star does that itself.

K-on is actually not a slice of life but I really like it

Got sad when it ended.

Oh, I like this one

Cringey, but sometimes relatable! Definitely not as bad as Kiss X Sis or some other garbage.
