I used to skip slice-of-life shows until Barakamon

Always thought they were boring with no plot, but I tried Barakamon on a whim last summer and the slow character growth actually hit me hard. Now I look for that relaxed pacing in shows like Yuru Camp - what made you change your mind on a genre you wrote off?

Felt the same way till I watched Mushishi one random night, totally shifted my view on slow burn stuff.

Yeah I read this thing about how Mushishi is basically meditation disguised as anime, and @charles_kelly43 that really clicked with me once I gave it a chance. Those quiet episodes just let your mind settle in a way most shows don't bother with.

Man that show totally clicked for me too after a few episodes.
