When it comes to anime, I'm only really familiar with Attack on Titan and Death Note.

I'm not really a fan of the 'slice of life' stuff. Especially when there's multiple seasons and it just sort of drags on.

As for age? I don't feel old yet, even with a sister eight years younger than I.

I keep in shape, don't smoke and don't drink much in the way of alcohol though - and it really pays off because pretty much all the people I grew up with look a good decade or more older than I do.

There's a few more we watched.

Dragon's Dogma, Kakegurui, Hero Mask, Last Hope, Knights of Sidonia, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Ergo Proxy. The last IMO was particularly good, and about as far as you can get from a slice of life anime. Need to re-watch it at some point.

Violet Evergarden came a bit closer to being one, but it was more of a tragic tale of romantic loss and PTSD.

Genuine slice of life animes would probably bore me to tears.

Yeah, they were all pretty good.

Much like with some FFXIV characters, where I switch off with anime is where they become too focused on hero worship/ignoring consequences and nuance.
