What is a slice of life?

Slice of life is a genre in anime, in which there is no main or central plot of anime. It focuses on the daily life of the characters. If I have to put it simply then I would say in this genre anime is not flashy, it is just pleasantly simple. Some people call this as “makes you feel good anime”.
