Slice of Life Anime
Slice of Life is anime's comfort food: low stakes, daily routines, and characters arguing about nothing like it's the most important thing in the world. *K-On!* proved that watching girls drink tea and occasionally play music could be weirdly addictive -- the micro-drama of real life gets treated with the same care other genres reserve for boss fights.
