Everyones definition of slice of life is different. Personally I don't really believe in genres in the strictest sense. I'd say Anohana is mostly a drama with elements of slice of life and a touch of fantasy.

If it makes you feel better you can think of it as a “Romance”, oh no wait she’s dead, I guess that makes it a “Thanatophilia” instead. Actually, since your age is measured in “years you lived since you were born” I guess it could be called “Paedophilia” as well. j/k

I see zero slice of life. Slice of life is like a "reset" of sorts. While there will be an ongoing and over arcing plot, things will remain the same for a long, long time. Sitcoms are slice of life. With this series, things are progressing and moving forward. No slice of life.

http://east.merriam-webster.com/dict...ce%20of%20life http://www.thefreedictionary.com/slice+of+life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_of_life Simply put it’s not slice of life, it’s more of a drama/fantasy/romance/something-else (with slice of life elements). Now, if you want, of course you think of it as the best mecha series this season, who’s there to stop you; heck whatever makes you comfortable watching it, just go for it.

I'm...speechless.
This show is...wow. It's good. It's so good. It's too good. Pacing, animation, music, characters, setting, emotion. Anime lives. Now excuse me as I go and sniff something important I hid in my closet. |

The definition is pretty clear on what is and what isn’t. However we have to take into account why the categorization exists in the first place; so if calling it slice of life makes everyone happy, and is how people understand it as, then so be it.

Finally got over my Madoka Syndrome and started watching currently airing anime again.
And wow, its only the second episode but AnoHana continues to impress me. I like the fact how this episode closely hits me home when they started playing Nokemon. I remember those good times when me and my friends would just crash at each other's places and play Pokemon together...good times... I'm glad to see that Popo and Anaru hasn't really changed that much from the past and it was great seeing them and Jinta hanging out together.
