While most of them are really great, they're not really slice of life, so I'm not sure how anon would feel about those, as the ones he mentioned to dislike seem to be pretty close to a lot of these.

Heard a bit about Full Metal, seems like the sort of fantastic series I dislike.

Heard a lot about Death Note (and watched the hentai parody as you can read some pages back *snicker*), apparently it's a sort of police drama with supernatural elements and not the other way around, so I will give it a try too.

Slam Dunk, not interested in sports stuff. I did watch Captain Tsubasa as a child, but now there isn't anything exciting about seeing schoolchildren jump a hundred meters in the air, kick the ball so hard it catches fire (or stop said fiery ball by throwing a baseball cap), and eventually winning Japan the World Cup

Samurai Champloo was too boring for my tastes.

Will check the others, thanks To help improve the pool of suggestions, I want to mention I liked Cardcaptor Sakura very much... this was some 15 years ago, so I don't know what my views would be now, but in hindsight it dealt with fairly mature themes for a cartoon supposedly aimed at preteen girls. I firmly recall a very touching episode about Sakura's mother (who had passed away by the time the story begins) and coming to terms with her loss. Exceptional if you consider that most if not all animes licensed for the West were routinely purged of anything considered remotely questionable or grown-up for their intended audience.

Another favorite of mine was Skinner to Kyouikucho.

So you don't like anime like Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, etc...?

I'm in dire need of a show that will make me cry :x

No, I gave them a chance but found them too silly. Also, Naruto and One Piece are apparently infamous for the massive amounts of filler they have. I prefer shorter seasons where more focus (i.e. quality) is placed on each individual episode.

Well, the ending to Shingetsutan Tsukihime was pretty sad... though I can't give the rest of it a rating higher than 7. Engaging but not otherworldly.

You should look up anything made by Studio Shaft

I need some recommendation on what tablet to buy! Price should be 200-300€

[Sazzy]

Huawei MediaPad M5 ?

[yoco]

Looks cool, but almost 400€
I'm also looking at Samsung's ~250€, but they have android os 6 or 7. Can that be upgraded?

[Sazzy]

It's 299 here :(

What's wrong with people;
So now they get mad not only when I say things they don't want to hear, but also when I don't say those things cause in that case I'm "never there to listen and talk to" .

In this age of Kali, or the age of hate, hypocrisy, corruption and quarrel

Can't give pointers on specific models, but keep a few things in mind:

• don't think that because a tablet is smaller than a computer its hardware requirements scale down linearly, anything with less than 2 GB of RAM is going to be a hindrance to use;
• Android is rarely upgradable to new major versions, especially if the one you have right now wasn't the latest at the time of purchase;
• check which custom ROMs and recovery partitions are available before you buy, because you won't really own the tablet unless you can at least root it;
• check which buttons and ports are and aren't available, read user reviews and pay close attention to Wi-Fi (and cellular modem if applicable) performance and speaker volume, as otherwise you'll only learn those details after you've already paid.
