This is the most you’ll ever hear me talk about Shirobako…
It’s new video time at Notaku, and this time around it’s the premiere of “Ask Enzo” – what we see as a regular segment where Setsuken and I discuss something (hopefully) interesting about anime, manga or Japanese culture. As always, please subscribe if you like what you see, and don’t forget to comment either here or at YT!

They include shirobako, baby steps, cross game, hyouka, gin no saji. I know some of these shows are sports and mystery but we feel they’re slice of life shows with a plot or maybe just slice of life done right. Maybe that’s just us though ^^

That said, when I think slice I think stuff like Flying Witch and Sketch Book. Shows like Hyouka certainly have slice of life eps but I don’t think of them as “proper” slice of life, if such a thing exists.
