Fumetsu no Anata e

Slice of Life can be divide into two kinds, the fun one and the deep one. And this is my collection for truly slice of life drama animes. It represents the epitome of human nature and feelings. These animes might be inspirational ones that might hit you like a bullet to the heart.

Every animated media that has been made, in some way has the idea to tell a story, and to express a feeling onto the watcher. But then, there are some series which has a particular way to evocate it's emotions, and they use different tools to do that. Thought provoking writing, displaying the characters' internal monologues, their struggles and fears, using very particular cinematographic angles, and using contrasting styles of animation, colouring and highly symbolical and metaphorical imagery - these are some of the few hallmarks that the said animation is having psychological themes, and that it is avant-garde in it's approach. This is not limited to any genre, as well.

I do realize that animation like this may not be for everyone, but I do firmly believe in it's artistic merits and integrity. Media like this allows us to peek into the human psyche and probably our own too, and it does provides us with often interesting viewpoints of our world, even if fractured through the prism of the animated fiction. Shows like that also likes to ask us questions without answers, to give us moral dilemmas without solid conclusion, or to put it short, to make us think.

The shows that were picked follows a pattern, the ones which are more straightforward, less abstract and easier to get into will be first, while the list goes down, the more complex and obscure the works will get.

If you've gotten tired or bored with the common trope of the main character trying to get stronger to save something or somebody. If you just want to take a breather and take a break without worrying about the main character for a while - although I can't guarantee it for all of them - this list is for you (one entry per series - no sequels, etc.). These are only a few of all out there and I ran out of space, so if I missed one, I'm so sorry!

Anime that are good to start getting into anime, or to show your friends who don't watch anime, but want to try it.

Anime that have important characters that are monstrous or that differ from a regular human.

Is it true that there's no better salvation than not being born in this world? Is the world that ugly that it's not worth living in? Should I even give it a chance?

Here we are on this earth, with only a few decades to live and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, great thoughts, real affections, and enduring undertakings. For life is too short to be little

warning: Death is the recurring theme.

Este fue mi segundo año en el Desafío anual, podría volverse un poco habitual esto desafío para mí.
Ya que te permite realizar un esfuerzo por ver animes viejos que están en mi lista.
Este año decidí no hacer el Hardcore (por falta de tiempo), así que me fui con la dificultad Difícil (de 40 animes) tal vez el año entrante (si es que sigo viendo animes para el próximo año) volveré a entrar.
Ha sido muy interesante y divertido el haber entrado a esto desafío ya que gracias al haberlo hecho he conocido muchas personas (que me ha ayudado muchos) e animes muy interesante.
Acá puede encontrar el desafío del año 2021: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/1890

This was my second year in the Annual Challenge, this challenge might become a bit of a regular for me. Since it allows you to make an effort to watch old animes that are on my list. This year I decided not to do the Hardcore (due to lack of time), so I went with the Hard difficulty (of 40 animes) maybe next year (if I keep watching animes for next year) I will enter again. It has been very interesting and fun to have entered this challenge since thanks to having done it I have met many people (which has helped me many) and very interesting animes.
Here you can find the challenge of the year 2021:
