Post Reply "Slice of life Anime" Not in High School?

Naunix 5726 cr points Send Message: 19 / M / Narnia Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/13/13 Are there any Romance/ Slice of life type Animes that are not based around High School students. I mean like something at the university level or beyond. Don't get me wrong the High school stuff is quite nice, it's just that, now that I'm older it would be nice to see some characters within a similar age group/ facing the same daily obligations as someone like myself. You know what I mean? Anywho if you have seen ANY let me know because at this point I'm not sure a romance exists outside of high school in the anime world lol xD

Chobits and the majority of Clannad after story. Thats all I got, some more knowledgable person may know more. In general slice of life not limited to romance I would say, welcome to the NHK, Usagi drop and Space brothers. Yeah most studios play it safe and stick to highschool.

I remember Steins gate mentioning that Okabe is 18 because when he sees the vid of 15 yr in the future Okabe he says "I still talk like that when i'm 33". Think the VN says Mayuri is 16.

Hanamaru Kindergarten (Kindergarten) Pita-ten (6th grade) Seto no Hanayome (Junior High)- though both those above act like a high-school environment. Oh wait- you wanted BEYOND high-school... hrmm... Chobits (already mentioned) Usagi Drop (same) Astaroth's Toy (But it's not what you are looking for- I'm sure of it) They Are My Noble Masters (I think...) ...Yeah... It's the "romance" part that gets me... if beyond high-school is what you are looking for, try the manga or light novel versions.

The Best lorreen 19395 cr points Send Message: F / Boston-ish Online	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/13/13, edited 2/13/13 Agree on Space Brothers for slice of life, not romance. It's very good and worth watching. Nana is more centered around friendship and aspirations than romance, but it's got a complex, reality-based romance aspect too. Honey and Clover might work for you too, though its art school setting and eccentric characters nudge it a bit outside of "slice of life." There's romance but also a "coming of age" theme as characters move through their higher education and toward a real world of jobs (especially in season 2).
