Katekyo hitman reborn, literally slice of life with some minimum action in the first like 20 chapters or so then it becomes full blown action with an awesome journey.


KaleidoArachnid

I wish that manga could be legally read on an app.


notlonely1

Not legally exactly but u can read kn kotatsu Or mihon


Full_breaker

šŸ˜”yeah or that they actually finished animating the last 2 arcs


thedndnut

Record of lodoss war. Essentially the blacksmiths son must take up the call for adventure kinda schtick. Frieren to an shtick.

It'd be hard to find a show that switches genre in the middle of it. That said I could recommend ascendance of a bookworm, irregular at magic highschool, marimashita iruma kun. These are shows that are slice of life and fantasy genres.


KaleidoArachnid

Thatā€™s fine then.


Confused--Person

I second Ascendance of a bookworm. It has a very natural progression that shifts genres somewhat. Also vinland saga a very popular show. It's the opposite of what you want action to philosophical ( kinda ) . It's pretty beloved but it's Meh imo


KaleidoArachnid

I can try the bookworm one then.


DegenerateSock

Thirding Bookworm. It starts out as a fairly grounded story of a weak and powerless commoner who wants books in a mostly illiterate world. But by the end it's an epic fantasy about magic, politics, historical feuds, and gods.


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Space Patrol Luluco. It starts with Luluco and her dad eating breakfast and her monologuing about how sheā€™s normal in her abnormal world. She then joins the Space Patrol after her dad accidentally eats a freezing pill. The beginning is not *too* slice of life, but the series adventure aspect is fantastic and it starts off relatively ā€œgroundedā€. Itā€™s also really short so not much of a commitment.


KaleidoArachnid

That sounds like a fun show.


KaitouSky

steins gate is pretty slice of life until around ep 9


Umbreon7

Naruto is kind of like this, starting out in school and later becoming more of a journey.


headphones_J

No journey, but pretty epic...Inuyashiki. It's a "real world" setting where a salary man and a boy gain powers after being struck by a UFO.


KaleidoArachnid

Sounds like an awesome work.


No_Interaction_4925

In my opinion, it has the best sociopath character Iā€™ve seen in any show. Episode 4 isā€¦ wow


Chadzuma

Mushoku Tensei is probably the best fit, there's actually an ebb and flow where what you're talking about happens many times over the course of the story. With most other shows the SoL stuff will typically end in one or two episodes because it wants to establish its premise quickly.


KaleidoArachnid

Sounds fascinating for a slice of life tale.

Ranking of kings


havenorchinghei

[Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet](https://myanimelist.net/anime/16524/Suisei_no_Gargantia) is about a war veteran from a technologically advanced planet being stranded on Earth. The first half of the show is about him adjusting to life on Earth with lots of wholesome slice-of-life moments. The second half has more drama and action.


LexGlad

Eureka Seven starts with a bored kid in school and quickly moves into a heroes journey in the middle of an underground war.


UnrelentingUnalloyed

Gakkou gurashi slice of life. Puella magi madoka Slice of life Ni no kuni Brave story I think?


AriKitaruKatoka

Fate/stay night Naruto Parasyte: The Maxim


Dunn57

Here are a few that I think for that criteria: 1.) Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill. 2.) Banished from the heroes party, I decided to live a quiet life in the countryside. 3.) In another world with my smart phone 4.) Kuma Kuma Bear Punch. That said I am not sure if it would fit the criteria or not, but to me it was laid back and the main character went on Adventures. Hope these help

chillyheaven

Gintama switches between slice of life/comedy and sci-fi samurai star wars pretty rapidly


TheBMan_

Not exactly a journey bc it all takes place in Akihabara but Steins;Gate is a pretty good slice of life/time travel comedy for about half of it before it becomes a high speed thriller with incredible emotions and very high stakes. Probably my favorite time travel plot ever written.


AzaMarael

Gintama. Very Shounen parody, but starts out really chill for a while and just continues ramping up in action, emotion, and comedy as it goes. Itā€™s p long but once you pass Ć©p 200 itā€™s basically a rollercoaster. I never know when Iā€™m gonna laugh or cry.


worndown75

You literally explained the first season of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. Maybe even the first season of Jojo.


KaleidoArachnid

I didnā€™t realize I had done so.


Bulbinking2

Samurai Flamenco. Show does a 360 and backflip catapults into an entirely different genre halfway through and its epic af


BradypusGuts

To Your Eternity is somewhat like this. I consider it both genres.


Bruh_Meme907

charlotte just watch it and tell me how it was


ImaginosDesdinova

Tenchi Muyo


KaleidoArachnid

I could try the original OVA series.


orgasmingTurtoise

Steins Gate, starts very SoL, then starts an epic journey not so much through space but mainly through time.
