And standard definition of 'slice-of-life' as in the following?: |
No Aria, not Hidan no Aria.

- Little character development? Arguable, but big developments are probably in the making, so no
- No exposition? No, pretty big revealings or new characters at every episode
- No conflict? No. Do I really need to give an example here?
- No dénouement? No. Most episodes tell and resolve a certain problem
Well uhh...you can decide for yourself if you think HanaIro is a slice-of-life.  |
Keep in mind wikipedia is not exactly always a reliable source. The definition of slice of life has gained broader usage in recent years, and so may people have tussled with its definition lately. There is no real agreement on it.
In the past only something like Aria seems to be considered slice of life, but now anything along the lines of something like clannad seems to be considered slice of life, which isn't technically correct if we go by how the term was traditionally used in the past.
