For me, Lucky Star is a slice of life icon, but MAL's definition says that a comedy can't be a slice of life, Lucky Star can't be a slice of life anime. Some people might say that "Lucky Star is tagged as a CGDCT anime, and CGDCT is a subgenre of slice of life. Therefore, it's fine. There's no need to double tag it." However, I don't see that being MAL's reasoning since Lucky Star directly breaks MAL's definition for slice of life, and there are plenty of examples of "double tagging", like Yuru Camp and Non Non Biyori. I doubt that MAL considers CGDCT to be a subgenre of slice of life.

However, that's just my opinion. Do you think that Lucky Star is a slice of life anime?

Slice of life is a genre explored in film, television, and literary works centering around normal people and the real drama that arises from everyday life. Slice of life films and television shows sometimes overlap with the comedy and/or coming-of-age genres.

First thing that appeared when I typed “slice of life series meaning”.

I don’t think Mal means that slice of life can’t have comedy, it’s more about the focus.

Yeah, MAL's definition does say SoL anime can have jokes and stuff, but it does say, "Slice of Life is incompatible with Comedy, Drama, and Romance by definition." So, a comedy can't be a slice of life, according to them.
