SoL is the current pinnacle of animation. It's the zenith 21st century shit-budget late-night TV animation. Not even joking.

What makes animation enjoyable? Characters do.

What makes characters likeable? Having SOME characteristics of real life people, while also having characteristics of fantasy.

SoL is the end result of years of anime elements that have been cherry picked to yield sales. It's:

[likeable fantastical characters] + [real life setting]

It's the zenith. The pinnacle. The settings happen to be nothing but GAKKOU and HOKAGOU because lolshitbudget but once they master this dynamic, there's nothing left to go beyond for anime.

According to you. It can't be a fact that they're great, only a fact that they sell well. Everyone knows what moe is and according to sales the current pinnacle of anime/manga is shonen. Keep in mind the rest of the world would still rather see a likable character punch a super villain in the face then go to school in a mini skirt. Just because /a/ eats up moe and SoL doesn't mean everyone will.

It doesn't matter how "great" a character is. This isn't the point.

The large picture is this: theoretically, all anime characters are "great". The reason why we like anime is because we like the characters themselves more than the content. But the attraction we feel to anime characters is not the same attraction we feel to characters in a Hollywood film. The distincition is represented excellently in this diagram I have acutely designed in my long years of teaching NEET physics at universities such as Harvard and Yale. (pic related)

We like anime characteristics because they SHARE realistic and unrealistic traits. What makes a "good" character, theoretically, is the ratio of "real" and "unreal".

So your petty argument about how moeblobs are cash cows is actually completely moot. It doesn't matter if the character is a moeblob or a generic harem protag. Our entertainment comes from how a 65% real and 35% unreal character interacts with other characters and his environment.

The reason why SoLs are seemingly entertaining without reason is because their environments are realstic and extremely simple: thus, only the characters are left and the characters literally end up driving the show 100%.

>>134706475
>if over 40% fantasy it cant pop boners

>>
>>134706955
Obviously, people's preferences for the ideal ratio will be different for each individual. Your idea of "perfect waifu" isn't the same as mine. Some people might even jerk off to something 80% fantastical.

But, did you realize that even in MonMusu, every "girl" has distinct HUMAN qualities? Some girls have more/less qualities than others, but there is no true "monster" in Monster Musume.

This doesn't mean it's impossible to jack off to floor tile patterns. This isn't meant to explain sexuality, it's just a theory to rationalize our affection and affinity for anime and anime characters in general.

Film student here. Define 'Slice of Life'

Is comedy slice of life? Would you say 'There's Something About Mary' is slice of life? Or 'Meet the Parents'? Or even 'Airplane'? As ridiculous as it is nothing in Airplane is unrealistic.

So first we need to set our definitions before we can discuss what you mean. I for one prefer comedy over drama any day and if you define SoL too loosely I'm going to miss out on a lot.

Although a lot of /a/, if not all, would remain, you'd kill /a/ in a very different way if you eliminated SoL.
A normie who only came here because he caught TTGL on TV usually ends up turning away after making a shitty thread and being laughed out of the building, and after seeing the majority of threads are about anime in which 'nothing' happens.

Also, as bland as SoL may look most of the time, the genre is a repository of the majority of anime 'tropes', and are usually products the casual anime watcher wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, because they don't see the point, they're unable to appreciate them.

But if you removed the genre altogether you would make the board more accessible. People who have watched two anime in their whole life would come here and find much more stuff they feel 'comfortable' with, and they would stay, posting and finding their little circles of newfags without ever improving, because whenever someone would try to correct them in their shitty behaviour and quality of posting, they would be defended by their casualshit comrades in arms.

SoL is the last bastion of defense this elitist shithole has against Facebook tertiaries.

Except many SOL have absolutely nothing to do with comedy and have varying and diverse settings from being set on terraformed planets, being in a human society in it's twilight years, centered on miniscule fairies, fable like narratives, being in a fantasy world etc etc

Your definition is narrow and wrong.

Because literally "crying girls: the anime" and as much as the first episode really was disturbing, the horrid pacing, the jumbled events, the EoE copycat, the unconvincing voice-acting and the lack of ending really make a mess out of it. Not to mention the cardboard characters but you could have guessed so.

Realistic characters in fantastical situations are the best.

Satoshi Kon understood this, and his movies reflect his philosophy well by presenting characters with real motivations and attributes that most people can relate to, but with enough of a touch of magic that they never become stale or annoying precisely because of their motivations and desires.

Basically, the ideal character is one that is completely human in backstory and mind but with the inhibitions of normal society toned down or removed entirely to make way for the kinds of behaviors that entertain and inspire, add a touch of tropes and an appropriate setting and just about any story can be interesting while not being reduced to pornography or cutegirlsdoingxshit.

>>134720575
Only plebs thing SoL is the comfiest genre. When there is no action or any sense of danger or duty the SoL part becomes shallow and boring. SoL elements only shine in other genres where after a tiring eventful episode you get to calm down in some nice and comfy SoL.

For example hajime no ippo where the fights are very tiring to watch but after that it gets back to comfy SoL comedy with traning and stuff.

That's why SoL is generally aimed at adults. The "action" is our own lives.

>>134720575
SoL is best when sandwiched between plots, it's like cinnamon in that it adds dimension, but it should never be the main flavor of a dish.

Moreover, if you've read a single SoL, you've read just about all of them, because you can only repeat the same basic story so many times before the ideas overlap.

Honestly, there's no real reason to watch SoL than if you want to hear seiyuus speaking in cute girl voices for twenty four minutes. They're never well animated anyways.

SoL may have similar premise, but there are a lot of small, yet important factors that makes the shows drastically different. Namely the artstyle.
Tamayura isn't the same as K-On!

Kiniro Mosaic isn't even the same as Wakaba Girl

This is absolutely nothing hipster about this image. The anime on the left are simply bad shows and the anime on the right are good. It's really that simple.

So do you not watch anything except mecha, sports, and fighting, or what? I mean, SoL, harems, romance, comedies, ecchi, melodramas, none of those have much action or sense of danger.

>The life of the average adult doesn't compare at all to anything seen in anime.
That's literally the point. The better comfy SoL shows are more idealistic while also making it easy to relate to the events in the show.
There's also other things at play. SoL tends to have smoother narratives, making every episode pay off while having smaller build up, while more action or plot heavy shows have overall unpleasant episodes for the sake of a bigger build up.

is band of ninja worth watching? isn't that the one where its pictures literally stitched together and not actually animated?

But Slice of Life shows take their slice of the life of boring cute girls way too often.

I want to see the daily life of more interesting fictional characters than high school whores and other boring characters. Give me the daily life of people in interesting situations like living in a vault or in a school for farming like in gin no saji and I will eat that shit up.

Just fuck off with boring characters doing boring shit and the genre is saved.

You're the reason this reaction exists, because the people who attack SoL are usually shitters like you.

It's an unfortunate reality. Most anime studies realize that as long as the seiyuus are famous/popular and can make cute voices, they'll always have a steady stream of buyers and costumers ready to spend their money on BDs.
>>134721331
You're right, there are a lot of worthwhile SoL precisely because they try to balance the SoL elements with some secondary genre or otherwise add a twist to the basic story so that they can hide the generic nature of the SoL. As for artsyle, sure, a few of them are interesting, but the grand majority fall back on the then popular trends of when it's made without even trying to reach for any uniqueness.

I'm not saying all SoL are trash, I'm saying that the overwhelming majority of them are cashgrabs that fail to be different in any way other than a small (and largely ignored) twist. The same can be said for all genres of anime, but SoL is the biggest offender because the twists and differences between each show is so minute.

More importantly, when the only thing a show has going for it is 'comfy' it's immediately trash. Comfiness can be a good part of the appeal, but falling back only on comfy is a big red arrow that means the show has absolutely nothing of interest than cute girls and maybe one well animated scene for 13 episodes.

I'm not trying to shitpost, and I was a big fan of SoL a while back, but there's just no reason to watch 99ï¼… of them if they don't try to deviate from the template in any meaningful way, even the ones that /a/ is fond of are sometimes shit. Accuse of me of having ADHD all you want, because most of the shows might as well have a soporific effect.

Prove me wrong.

Mechashit is just retarded and unrealistic. It's just laughable to watch when useless piece of trash that is robots showed as super weapons.

SoL is fine. It's that "only girls allowed in the main cast" mentality in many heavily otaku pandering series that belongs into the trash.

>>134722297
YKK and Nichibros are the two most overrated things on /a/.

>>
>>134722374

YKK isn't over-rated. If you think it's less than a 10/10 then you must have missed something while reading or not understood it, it's as close to perfection as a SoL could get, with great characters, a great world, great art, a perfect sense of time and the passing of time in the story.

Well for starters, almost everything you've said is an opinion. Comfiness has the same amount of merit as drama, psychological elements, or action. It all depends on the person.
Not to mention every plot always follow the same general narrative. The simple introduction, rising action, climax, and resolution model. In fact, "comfy" generally follows the same thing. The climax is generally a very heartwarming moment that makes you feel very satisfied.
For me personally, I can watch these heartwarming moments over and over again without getting tired of them, in the same way others never get tired of twists and turns in a plot, or high paced action.

The apocalypse is comfy, no worries and all the time in the world to go out and see what you want to see and do what you want to do. Yeah it can be melancholic at points, but that's just the inevitability of time passing and things changing, and the point of enjoying things while they last and making the most of them.

Hello hipster, did you know that Madoka was the most worthy of being on that side and most of the other shows like To Aru Shit, Symphogear (it's fun, but it's not good) are actually bad shows? But who am I kidding, you just want to be a hipster contrarian who latches at anybody saying good things about MSMM, you did not have such considerations in your head. Try to think for yourself next time if you can.
