I am apathetic towards Azumanga, probably trending just a pinch to the "don't like" side. Because for whatever reason I associate Azumanga with Lucky Star, and I hate Lucky Star.

My Toradora bro.
Yet I agree with Regulus that I can't expect everyone to share my inpeccable taste. Alas, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Toradora is still the best, don't worry. ^^
Looking back on it retroactively, Toradora by JC Staff, with Okadabot and a Kugiloli for a main character... the odds were heavily against it of it actually turning out good.
There are haters?
Watch K-on, it's actually good. and not otaku culturey.

Ignoring your slander against Goddess Rie, this just demonstrates the strength of the source material!
Representing -_-
I am actually cautiously excited, but that will change to dislike the moment the show starts to go south, which seems likely >.>
Nothing against Rie, just hate that damn typecast.
I've watched 3 episodes and dropped it like a rock under the bridge. It was easier to read it on manga form, but I was embarassed watching it. Not my thing, really.
You will get people telling you S2 is better. Do not listen to these people.
Try Arakawa Under The Bridge, you may like that type of SOL.
And you genuinely enjoy SAO? Huh...
I'll try. Nichijou seems interesting too, I'll try them.

Title like Mushishi or Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is slice of life too.
Yes. I watch it for the action and MMO antics, not the plot or something like that. It gives me cool battles. And I've already read the novels for the story (even though I agree there's a lot of bullshit there, like their "daughter" being backuped or the worst girl being the love interest).

The definition of "slice of life" being used here seems unhelpfully broad.
I find it lacking in almost every respect, particularly the battles. And I guess the novels go some way to papering over the cracks of the Anime's sloppy pacing.
Each to their own, though.
Now you're crossing the line.

If you didn't like it then, you probably wouldn't change your mind watching more. K-On pretty much stays the same for its entire run. I liked the show, but it ended up feeling really stale and repetitive by the 2nd half of season 2.
I prefer Baccano! as far as SOL goes.
Too much talking, not enough slicing.

This is the righteous choice.
Agreed.
Shows that are largely "Slice-of-Life" with some comedic elements and those that are largely comedy with some "Slice-of-Life" elements can potentially contrast as night and day.
Any other favorable shows you identify with as "Slice-of-Life", Maedhros?
That can help boil it down.
Oh damn. Was already planning on watching this anyway. :lol
I second this!

Slice of life isn't a real genre anyway. I find it a unhelpful descriptor in most circumstances.

Yes this, it blows Nichijou way out of the water, and the characters are actually interesting.

She looks pretty clumsy-moe to me. But to be fair, it's her first time.

It's not even "how comedic is it?" - when you've got people throwing out things as diverse as Mushi-shi and Kyousogiga, you know no one knows what "slice of life" really means.

Ah, but you don't have to talk about the director. They could just be like "from the studio behind Stand Alone Complex", although, then again Ghost in the Shell is generally more popular overseas. This is why I don't get involved in marketing anime.

This is marginally better than straight-up guild or relationship drama, I suppose, but good lord was this ever filled with some extreme hysterics, even for
Unfortunately, Asuna is a loathsome character and the clinging presence of this generic quasi-tsundere daki fodder is only going to further tease out the endless depths of Kirito's dull nothingness as the story progresses.
something something ass shots and boy does the character designer ever favor bare shoulders.
Why the hell does this show always waste its best character designs on minor characters?

Hah, I didn't know that. I thought it was just black highlighted text. :V
Links are still kinda annoying in spoilers though.
I think one of the common complaints is that the Little Busters art isn't typical KEY at all.
