| Toradora had its slice of life tag removed a while ago, and the majority of people I talk to seem to agree that Toradora isn't a slice of life anime. However, I wanted to see what does the general public think and if this is a popular opinion. Personally, I don't think it is. Toradora is much more about the romantic love polygon rather than the day to day life of the characters. I'm curious what you guys think. |

| Yessir, one of my top Romances… |
| It has SoL elements in some episodes, but for the most part it isn't imo. |
 ❝Only you can save yourself.❞ I only know what I know, I guess? Yuri enjoyer and El Cazador de la Bruja fan |
| I absolutely have no idea of the definition of SoL anymore. The definition mal gives is very self contradicting. So it some sense it can be an SoL. but like Toradora plenty of Romance dramas have lost their SoL tags lately. |
 |
| First, we should define what is a "Slice of Life" anime |
 |
| I would call it Romance comedy slice of life. I did not think it had too much drama tbh, but it does have enough to be labeled that too. |
 |
| "A realistic representation of everyday experiences in a film, play, or book" these experiences are often regarded as mundane. Toradora does fit that description. While the focus is the romance, these slice of life moments are still a big part of it. |

While the focus is the romance, these slice of life moments are still a big part of it. In that case, non supernatural nor Sci-Fi shows are basically SoL? I personally like to take SoL as "chill", something you don't need to follow 100% the plot. For example, Azumanga Daioh. |

I personally like to take SoL as "chill", something you don't need to follow 100% the plot. For example, Azumanga Daioh. If a show focuses on certain moments that come off as everyday life experiences to the viewer, then by definition it is SoL. However, we mostly refer as SoL to shows that are entirely focused on these moments. Rather than shows that have certain SoL elements in them. |
| Romance / Drama IMO |
| Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me |
| It's not an SOL. It's a romantic comedy. Period. Poll results are disappointing. I think Toradora is the perfect example of the reasons why MAL decided to crack down so hard on the genre tag. Prior to the big change, almost everything was labeled SOL, no matter how story-focused it actually is; rendering the tag meaningless. People seem to think that it applies to literally all contemporary settings with no science fiction or fantasy aspects. A flawed way of thinking that automatically disqualifies stuff like Aria which is quintessential SOL to the absolute core of its being, no two ways about it. |
 |
| definitely feels like it is |
| It definitely isn't, it is school life, drama, coming of age, etc. but mundane slice of life just isn't what this series is about. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| partly a SoL but doesn't need the tag, the "school" tag does it, I'm more surprised it doesn't have a comedy tag |
AnosTheGod said: school days is a slice of life anime that does not have a slice of life tag well in school days the slicing happens elsewhere 💀 |
