“The further you go, the steeper it becomes, and there won’t be anyone around you.” – Rei Kiriyama
I feel I lack the vocabulary and eloquence to adequately express how special Sangatsu no Lion truly is, but i'll attempt to do my best nonetheless.
Depression is a silent battle. Constantly waging wa…
Read full review on AniList →An explosion of radical empathy; watch this show to restore your faith in the human condition.
If you asked me to summarize my worldview in a single phrase, I would describe it as “radical empathy.” The world can be an awful, awful place, and too many people have suffered under the worst kinds of horror and suffering. But I’ve seen too much good in this world to write it off. I’ve seen too mu…

_~~~“Não é que eu tenha mudado. E as pessoas à minha volta também não mudaram.
É apenas que, enquanto jogando, e jogando desesperadamente cada dia, até parecer que minha cabeça fosse explodir...
Em dado momento, eu percebi que outras pessoas estavam viajando comigo em direção ao mesmo lugar, onde a…
Read full review on AniList →An expressive, dark & bright drama that explores relationships and the duality of negative & positive emotion.
_3-gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion)_ depicts the daily life of a young shogi prodigy, Rei Kiriyama, but is much deeper than what can be seen at a glance.
Rei is a shy individual who suffers from bouts of depression and anxiety centred around his career, family history, and the hardships…

I wanted to write a review about this anime for a long time because I truly believe March Comes in Like a Lion is one of the most beautiful pieces of fiction ever written. It is supported by beautiful animation, a cast of extremely lovable characters, and an amazing soundtrack. I wouldn’t be lying i…

~~~__I don't know where to start...__~~~
This anime is absolutely amazing, I must say after the first few episodes, I was completely hooked and was unable to stop watching the show. And while I did find a few moments which I would say were a bit "boring", for the most part the anime did its best to…

Summary:
It took me a while to get used to the artstyle of 3-gatsu no Lion, but once I got used to it,
this series has easily become my top 5 best anime series of all time. While it is not as complete as Assassination Classroom in terms of what the series can offer, 3-gatsu no Lion compensates wit…

Contain Spoilers of s1 and s2
Sangatsu is an emotional work, those who do not feel empathy, attachment, and affection for the characters will never take advantage of the story itself, which humanly deals with problems such as emotional dependence, food compulsion, depression, loneliness, among othe…

(Spoilers are light but I'm going to start spoiler tagging every review since I'm out of touch with people who care about spoilers and I don't want to guess at what counts and doesn't)

Read full review on AniList →A slow but masterfully produced character drama with trademark SHAFT psychedelic visuals. Oh, and there's shogi.
Studio SHAFT has a way with making the seemingly mundane into a psychadelic picture show of the most ludicrous level, and March Comes In like a Lion is no exception to that rule. A manga adaptation about a young shogi professional, you'd think that the anime would have trouble keeping your attention…

__Travioli Prime’s Review of San-Gatsu no Lion (First Season)__
San-gatsu no Lion currently seems to be one of the darlings of the anime community, with its second season reaching top 5 on AniList’s highest rated shows as of October 2019. This show seemed like one I could totally enjoy, so I decide…
Read full review on AniList →Forcing sympathy and pity
So, I watched up to episode 17 of season 1 of March Comes in Like a Lion and... I hated it. As far as positives go, I like the art style (mostly), the animation is nice and fluid and whenever they do those black and white scenes that look like inked manga panels, it's beautiful and a marvel to look…
Read full review on AniList →March Comes In Like a Lion shows off strongly written characters behind a polarizing style
Chess remains one of the oldest and still most popular games of all time. There’s a good reason for this: it’s simplistic layout and rulings with a variety of pieces give it an ocean of depth. The art of trying to put your opponent’s king in a state of inescapable capture while simultaneously keepin…

_This review encompasses both seasons, since they form a continuous story._
March Comes Like a Lion is one of the highest rated animes of all time, and it is easy to understand why. The series is full of relatable characters facing relatable and realistic challenges. In addition, the animation and…

I think I have my thoughts in order for this series...
So without delay...

~~~__Story:__~~~
It didn't grab me a alot. Probably because when they talked about shogi __[95% of the time]__ I felt sooo lost.
For me, there was no thought of intense play style like other sports anime going into…

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
March Comes in Like a Lion. The show that disappointed me in a multitude of ways. Having already seen (and reviewed) the second season of Sangatsu No Lion, this review will be rather short. Indeed, I feel as if everything that the second season does and fails to do, the firs…
