must see slice of life anime

[mohsen]

I've been watching Azumanga Daioh(an awesome classic right?) and Lucky Star for several times now to help me while going thorough a difficult time in my life and I was wondering if I'm missing out on a lot of good anime. specially the "slice of life" anime category
for now I'll watch Barakamon again but if you have awesome recommendations please submit them so I can watch them too.

[Ohayotaku]

Aria (The Animation, The Natural, The Origination, etc)

Flying Witch

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today

Ramen Akaneko

School Rumble (comedy)

Yuru Camp (CGDCT)

My Roommate is a Cat (Iyashikei)

This season there are three anime perhaps worth recommending: "Ninja girl lives with assassin," "Travel addicted mangaka girl" and "University girls eating" which are all quite good on their SoL aspect.

[Animedragon]

A Place Further Than The Universe is definitely a must watch. 

Another good, but seriously underrated series is Sounds of Life.

[Eris]

Lucky Star is a seriously good anime. Some slice of life ones I'd recommend are:

A Silent Voice 

Clannad After Story 

The Place Promised in our Early Days 

In This Corner of the World 

Your Name 

Hyouka

Golden Time 

Snow White with the Red Hair 

Violet Evergarden

Aria and Flying Witch have already been mentioned and I'd second both of those recs.

People say they hate it for this very reason, for being slice of life, but I love JoJo Diamond is Unbreakable (part 4) because it's slice of life and just the boys going through silly events or occurrences. Stuff like collecting supermarket coupons, playing board games with alien dice, visiting a crazy Italian restaurant, I guess it's an action slice of life? And then it gets a more grounded story towards the third act that pulls all of it together ^^

i can't believe no ones mentioned k-on yet! also to keep on the kyo-ani theme, hibike euphonium is wonderful too if you're ever looking for series that star adult casts things like new game, shirobako and wotakoi are rly fun watches

If you're a fan of Azumanga Daioh then you might also like Acchi Kocchi.  I liked the snowball fight one.
