obviously you're correct, that's the entire point. SoL's are slower-paced than other shows. they may be "more boring" on the whole, but the best SoLs are still quite engaging.

>boring
"Boring" is a state of mind, an inherent emotional response requiring absolutely no cognitive thought or critique. It's utterly subjective and not reflective of a show whatsoever, more so reflective of yourself. Using that as the sole critique against a show is only a critique against your own shit taste and lack of cognitive rational thought and inability to utilize objective critique.

Secondly, even if a show can be said to be more "boring" than another, more lacklustre and uneventful, using that critique against it is still baseless, as it implies all good shows and only good shows are ones that are the opposite - not boring. This is false, as it suggests a show (and even art as a whole) has to pander to your every taste and whim to be considered "good" or worthwhile, when really a show has no obligation to do so. And so goes back to "boring" being a fault of one's own, as it means one isn't able to separate baseless subjectivity and inherent emotional response from valid objective critique.

Working was good and not boring. Whereas I've seen plenty of 'high tension' dramas like Game of Thrones that put me to sleep or are as predictable as Oprah's weight gain.

It's usually mind numbingly boring, but I like Working tho.

But S2 was somewhat insufferable to go through, while it wasn't boring but it felt like it went nowhere and Yachiyo and Yamada became relative worst girls during that stretch

Not true: the most boring of genre is hentai when you've just finished fapping.

Season 2 was the best season. Which most people agree. And Yamada had the most attention in season 2 tied with Popura.

You're right about Yamada getting annoying however. Her story at the end of season 3 is the only part of the show I genuinely hated.

What shouldn't be allowed is hiding a figure like that under such plain male clothes, who ever would've guessed he had legs this fucking hot? He needs to grow his hair out, dye it pink and stop wearing boy's clothes altogether. I wanna see what he looks like in a crop top, booty shorts and thigh highs. Ultimate semen demon right there.

>>144238304
Basically this.

Personally, I'm more bored by your typical shounen action show than I am by slice-of-life shows. Does that mean shounen action is boring? To me it is, but clearly not to the many people who like it. Likewise, there are those who are bored by slice-of-life shows, and those who like them. Just about everything about entertainment is subjective.
>>
>>144242449
That's a situation comedy. I will admit there are similarities between the two genres, but the difference comes down mostly to the focus on comedy and how sitcoms tend to come up with more contrived circumstances and storylines while slice of life focuses on comedy in more mundane circumstances.

A SitCom can also be slice of life. Full House was such a mundane SitCom I wouldn't even classify it as a SitCom. I would classify it as a really forced slice of life.
>>
>>144242672
Oh look, it's a bunch of old and relatively obscure stuff that isn't being made any more.

>>144242739
There's always going to be some mixing between genres. It's difficult to argue Full House isn't SoL but I think we can both agree the show is more similar in tone and style to American sitcoms than it is to most SoL anime.

>>144242739
That's a better example than mine (Seinfeld)

full house was boring as FUCK

>There's always going to be some mixing between genres.
Such as how most anime shows are not set in one genre. And have their origins in western genres. Case in point, Slice of Life. Which was based on a myriad of shows in the 1950s and 60s American TV.

Another good example of genre mixing is Sailor Moon. Which is part Sentai, part Mahou Shoujo and overwhelmingly Slice of Life. Yet people overlook the slice of life aspect of the show, despite it being over 3/4 the show.

Anyway, all this argument is pointless. Let's just admit that Working did slice of life correctly (as did Sailor Moon). And you're right that the west has sucked at it for decades.

Western 'SoL' didnt have cute girls so they were automatically shit
>>
>>144243145
Hell, mahou shoujo itself is a mixing of genres with origins in Western TV. Little girls in Japan were watching Bewitched because it had a female character using magic, so an enterprising anime studio made Mahoutsukai Sally, basically a kid's cartoon where the main character is a girl who uses magic.

Yes, that's the other reason I used Sailor Moon as an example. But Bewitched itself, while being a 'SitCom', can also be called a parody of Slice of Life.

Its all connected man! The wheels of fate keep spinning 'round through all the days of our lives...oh god, I did it again.
