Do you think it's a slice of life anime?

You may have noticed that this is the third thread I made recently about slice of life. I like these threads since I can see people's opinions what they think slice of life is and whether specific anime are slice of life. I thought of making more. Maybe making one or two of them a week to avoid to be considered spam, but I thought even that could be annoying to some. So, I'm asking you guys if you think this could get annoying.

Anyway, back to the main topic. A Silent Voice was never labeled as a slice of life anime by MAL, but it's the most popular anime that doesn't have any fantasy, supernatural, or sci-fi elements. I felt that it could fit some people's definition of slice of life since it has many quieter moments.

It's a drama with a hint of romance. For once MAL has it right.

It doesn't because is not a autoconclusive episodic series.

No, it's a character driven drama with phenomenal character development. It also has a mild romance theme.

I do not consider it one.  It is mostly drama with some odd romance.

I'm not sure what "autoconclusive" means. Is it similar to "self-contained" or "stand-alone"?

The categorisation on MAL is weird. Aria is now no longer Slice-of-Life. What a bullshit system they have built.

Are you sure? Aria the Animation still has the slice of life tag.

Alas, MAL has made some useful updates. I could sense a storm is coming.

I think it does portrays the essence of what could happen in life. But i don't think MAL categorised it as SOL cuz SOL anime usually have some casual episodes w/o drama or suspense. As in there might be some drama in the anime but some episodes r just for causal watching (like hanging out episode). Koe no katachi is more of a buildup story with a conclusion thus bringing the genre school, drama and a more impactful of SOL rather than the casual watching ones

No. Coming of age trumps any supposed SOL qualities this show may have. 

So, it looks like 104 of you are pretty fucking dumb, carry on. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

O think a drama is different from Slice of Life
Because all plot is about a single event, isn’t a thing easy to happen in real life, the way plot treat a life is “super interesting” in a drama. Slice of Life is more about daily routine.
Thinking in a way that drama is Slice of Life, all romance can be too, except when have fantasy.

It is absolutely not. A classical psychological drama, it is.
