>>16104Of course everything can be in any combination, but anime already has a problem with every second series being tagged as a SoL. So at some point you have to ask yourself if the focus of the anime is more towards telling you about the everyday life of the characters or trying to get a laugh out of you. Especially in the current state of the industry where SoL SoL pretty much implies some heavy level of relaxation having a strong comedy element is not only disturbing that relaxation element, but in the case of Tanaka-kun it is disturbing even the reality of the show, meaning what is happening is determined mostly by if it is considered funny (from the author's view point) instead of really telling us that much about the life of Tanaka, and if it is not trying to make a joke it is not important enough to show it us. It is not a clean difference, but generally I think it is not hard to get the feeling of what the author is really going for.
Just because the setting is high school and they are not fighting ancient evil it doesn't mean it is a SoL, right? I consider a good example of what an SoL focused SoL really is right now would be series like Amanchu! and Flying Witch. There was for example Sansha Sanyou not long ago and people were talking about how it was one of the original SoL series of the manga magazine even before K-ON!, but is it really? Just think about how hard it was trying to make the viewer laugh. The reality of the show was completely disturbed with things often not making any sense and being okay with even breaking the laws of physics on a regular basis for the sake of a joke attempt.
