Love when we get to see quiet moments that build character.

I love when we get a scene of the characters, in a bedroom, an inn, a hotel room, a club room, a bar even- and they are just... chatting... hanging out. Maybe having an intimate friendship or romantic moment... doing each other's hair or nails, looking through an old photo album, talking about past adventures, having tea (K-on core), maybe helping carry the other home after a long night idk.

I love when we get short scenes of a character alone that tells us a bit more about them, maybe a shot of them reading a book on a rainy day, maybe we get to hear what music they listen to on their drive to work, maybe we see them engage in a hobby, or even stop to pet a stray cat or a passing by dog. Or maybe they talk to the birds and the chipmunks they pass by, do they brush their hand against the trees or fences...

I love when we see the mask fall and the character break down when no one's around. Or if they do it in front of someone else who, when. How?

I love it when characters do karaoke, go to the beach, go to an amusement park, have a slumber party, each lunch together at school, all these little moments that build CHARACTER. I LOVE THEM.

I love the little side conversations the bonding moments... everything... even if they are short.

Because that's what makes me care about the characters. About their goals, about what they stand to lose.

Not that series that don't do this are bad or anything there's still plenty of media I like that doesn't or I still care, but I feel like I care DEEPER for the characters when they DO THIS.

I've only learnt recently that the slice of life anime genre that I've been enjoying since 2020 is called Iyashikei.

It's a healing type of anime that focus on providing comfort and relaxation through slow-paced, low-conflict stories set in peaceful and beautiful places, to soothe stressed viewers.

Apparently, it's created for exhausted salarymen who are mentally drained from work, so they can have a therapeutic escape, to calm their anxieties and help them sleep peacefully for the night.

My top 10 favorites are :

Yuru Camp

Follow the schoolmates who form their own camping club in school, as they explore various camp sites in Japan in every season.

2. Non Non Biyori

Follow the four friends who are the only students in the countryside as they explore and play in the wilderness of rural Japan.

3. Super Cub

Follow an introvert girl who finally got her first bike as she explores beyond her own town and befriends other bike riders.

4. Long Riders

Follow a girl who fell in love with cycling as she forms her own clique, cycling to various places in Japan and joining a competition.

5. Encouragement of Climb

Five friends whose love of hiking came to together to hike together, starting with the easy hike to a more difficult ones along the way.

6. Flying Witch

A witch apprentice who leaves her hometown in pursuit of knowledge and training in witchcraft at a lovely town.

7. 365 Days to the Wedding

Two introverts from the same workplace of a travel agency end up in a fake marriage and discovers they both love spending time in nature.

8. The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

A salaryman who is secretly a descendant of a snow spirit who falls for his cool looking colleague in this romantic comedy.

9. Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House

Two girls from Aomori came to Kyoto to be Geisha, but only one succeeded while the other found something else she's good at.

10. Sakura Quest

A girl from Tokyo had difficulty getting a job in the city end up with an internship at the countryside to revitalize the town.
