I miss the times when SoL anime was actually SoL and not ecchi in disguise.
I wouldn't call Touch a slice of life even though Adachi does everyday life scenes like a fucking beast.
Adachi draws too many gratuitous panty shots

It's more slice of life than whatever shit airs on Japan right now.
A recent SoL that I really like was Flying Witch

Classic slice of life genre is already dead. Nobody wants to watch that stuff without a fanservice.

adachi is a hack
But you're right about SoL. Even shows like NNB are functionally ecchi and not proper SoL.
Tanaka-kun and Flying Witch were pretty tame.
There are more pantyshots and "accidental" kisses than dialogue in some of those so called SoL shows. Why do people even bother with it when they can watch actual hentai instead?

I miss the times when people actually knew what ecchi was.

NNB has almost no fanservice. I don't know what the fuck you are smoking.

kys fucktard.
>>143758077
are you ok?
>>143757548
Because I can pretend in strange way that I actually have meaningful relationships with qt girls instead of being sad on a okinawan throat singing forum
The art style looks fucking trash.
>>143758260
but the storytelling is one of the best
>>143756115
SoL has been disfigured nowadays. People call anything that way. Assassination Classroom, for example. It has drama, comedy, action and a defined plot from the synopsis, but some idiots call it SoL.

NNB is almost entirely fanservice, it's just not blatantly lewd. Ecchi is a genre which takes the concept of a typical erotic cut and turns it up to overtake the narrative objective of the work.
NNB (and a lot of other shows) works exactly the same way. It's basically pornography for extreme purityfags who fetishize the lack of sexualization of something in a sexual manner. This combined with light comedy and cute girls create the perfect atmosphere of escapist comfort for the average delusional hikkineet.
There is no "life" in Iyashikei shit, it's a disgrace to call them SoL.
>>143758526
This, those fuckers at Japan find it way more easier and cheaper to use Iyashikei instead of a proper narration. Just make a few characters that acts like retards and call it a day. I often lost my shit when garbage like pic related could related for SoL nowadays. I just want to burn those hikki scumbags for butchering an entire genre.
