Jun 2, 2020 · Abel Ferrara’s Tommaso is about that precise feeling of living with an itch unscratched, which the protagonist manages with a life of fetishistic interiority. Here, Willem Dafoe again plays a surrogate of Ferrara: a filmmaker, Tommaso, living in Rome, where he can readily finance his arty productions.

High school settings are common in slice of life anime. Avid swimmer Haruka Nanase reunites his old swim club to show up his high school rival, aspiring Olympian Rin Matsuoka. Come for the half-naked tests of speed and stamina, stay for the friendship and perseverance!
If you got into manga and anime in the '90s, odds are that it was because of this series. Though significantly truncated from the books, the anime follows the same basic story of Tooru Honda, who sets out to break a strange curse on her adoptive family. Though there are magical themes at work here, Fruits Basketdeftly weaves them into Tooru's schoo...
Most high school shows deal with everyday problems like schoolwork and popularity. Kokoro Connectgives a standard slice of life formula a supernatural twist: the members of the Student Cultural Research Club periodically switch bodies! Working through teenage struggles is much more complicated—and enlightening—when you do it from someone else's per...
How do you tame a class of delinquent students? With a delinquent teacher! In this classic slice of life, Eikichi Onizuka is a former gang member and incorrigible pervert who initially earns his teaching degree to meet girls. His insane luck lands him in and out of crazy situations throughout his tenure, during which he gradually develops a conscie...
Sometimes slice of lifes get really supernatural. Ginko is a wandering mushishi, someone capable of interacting with mysterious mushi, or nature spirits. Like an old-timey Takashi Natsume, Ginko's hobby is solving problems between spirits and humans. Tranquil and contemplative, Mushishi will appeal to the drifter in you. There's no major overarchin...
One of Makoto Shinkai's landmark works. Takaki and Akari are close friends driven apart by distance, striving to regain a love they almost shared. As their relationship decays, they both learn to accept what it once meant to them. Not recommended—or perhaps highly recommended—for the easily moved.
Here's another slice of life anime for the socially awkward among us. Shunned at his new school for looking like a delinquent (he's blond), Kodaka starts a club for loners and weirdos with Yozora, a girl with an imaginary friend. Whether you're an arrogant beauty, a pervert, or a vampire, the Neighbors' Club has something familiar for everyone.
Though it may be an urban fantasy about teenagers battling demons, Beyond the Boundaryis also about what they do between fights. Whether they're doing cosplay photo shoots or signing each other up for idol auditions, Akihito Kanbara and his friends find plenty of time for fun when they're not fending off threats from the spirit world.
Opposites attract. That explains the unlikely relationship between studious Shizuku Mizutani and chronic truant Haru Yoshida. The picture isn't a spoiler, by the way—they quickly fall for each other. They attempt to figure out what that means throughout the series, all while helping each other become more outgoing.
If you're looking for plot, look elsewhere. Lucky☆Staris as slice-of-life as it gets, skipping sedately through observational humor about school life and pop culture. Don't think four schoolgirls talking about chocolate cornet bread can entertain you? Think again!

Jan 22, 2022 · One genre that is usually closest to reality is slice of life, but what exactly is it? This feel-good category usually hits close to home for many anime fans, considering how it focuses on everyday life (or, to put it simply, reality).
Educational Anime Shows: 1. The Royal Tutor. The Royal Tutor is an educational series in a literal sense, where 5 princes have their own private tutor in the castle. This is to prepare each prince for “the throne”, should they ever become king. Heine Wittgenstein is the main character (and tutor).
Jun 5, 2020 · Despite a raw performance from Willem Dafoe, Tommaso feels more like a self-indulgent male fantasy than an introspective character study. Starring alongside Ferrara's own wife and daughter (Cristina Chiriac and Anna Ferrara) and even filmed in his own apartment, Dafoe plays the titular character who's a writer-director living in Rome.
