Days 10 & 11

Whoops, yesterday got away from me. Luckily these two are pretty easy (if unoriginal).

Favorite slice of life anime



It feels like cheating to mention an anime more than once, but it's hard to choose anything but Azumanga Daioh for slice of life. I'm not even sure what else I would count toward the genre. (Does it count if something belongs to another genre, like romance, but does a really good job of capturing the feel of everyday life? If so, I might name KareKano or the much MUCH less well known BL anime Lesson XX.)

Favorite mecha anime



And again with the cheating. Escaflowne, all the way. I really don't like mecha in general, but I loved how Escaflowne incorporated mecha into the fantasy genre. Cloaks! Dragons!

Oh, but thinking of a runner-up for mecha, this has the interesting quality of combining an answer to both 10 & 11. I saw the OVA series at a campus anime club, and it's more slice of life than robot battle, very sweet.

I love no mecha. I ignore mecha. If mecha are in a show I am watching, I certainly don't remember the mecha. Escaflowne had wings.

The current discussion re: what counts as a slice-of-life gives me a reasonable excuse not to identify one, yes? Otherwise, Azumanga Daioh is awesome indeed.

Not anime, but have you seen Iron Giant?

I haven't, because it has a big robot in it. The posters gave that away.

This will seem unrelated, but it's not: Do you watch Pixar movies?

I think you should watch the Iron Giant. It's a great movie. I might have even cried.

I do watch Pixar movies. Not all of them, but most. Why?

You should definitely watch it. It is really, really adorable and I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Last I checked it was available for streaming on Netflix.
