Daily Life

Can someone suggest to me some good anime that deal with daily life/slice of life, but have a good overarching plot? Stuff like Sora no Woto and Welcome to the NHK come to mind.

Thanks

Eve no Jikan (the film version actually has more content IIRC)
Figure 17 (depressing... you have been warned!)

In way I'd say Clannad fits, since it slowly builds on the romance in the series while having a lot of daily life going on.

I'd say Fruits Basket and Kobato should fit too.

Seconding Haibane Renmei, CLANNAD, Fruits Basket (although the manga is better), and Kobato.

Recommending Gakuen Alice, Macross Frontier (I think it counts), Sky Girls, and maybe Toradora! Also, STRONGLY recommending Dennou Coil.

Kure-nai has an ongoing plot but often wanders into slice-of-life territory especially in the middle of the series.

Other possibilities include:
Asatte no Houkou - supernatural premise, but pretty much fits your requirements nonetheless
Planetes - daily life among space trash collectors
Nodame Cantabile - daily life among aspiring classical musicians
Kemono no Souja Erin - lots of drama in some stretches, but also some quieter daily life sequences, particularly in the middle episodes
Seirei no Moribito - see Erin; same author, too
Cross Game - daily life of high-school baseball players; some romance
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - while surviving an earthquake obviously doesn't constitute "daily life" per se, it still has slice-of-life features
Yomigaeru Sora - Rescue Wings - daily life of a helicopter rescue squad
Ghost Hound - another supernatural premise, but a lot of daily life, too

Two family comedies centered around clever animals, Chi's Sweet Home and Higepiyo, also fit your requirements, though the plot is less compelling than in some of the other shows above.

Tokyo Magnitude is one of the best in this category...

Genshiken is likely closer to NHK and also one of the best anime before..

Tamayura and Aria are one of the best in slice-of-life category

I'd recommend Honey and Clover, both seasons, and a strong second towards Clannad. I personally found it inspirational.
