The second season of 3-gatsu no Lion.
Now in his second year of high school, Rei Kiriyama continues pushing through his struggles in the professional shogi world as well as his personal life. Surrounded by vibrant personalities at the shogi hall, the school club, and in the local community, his solitary shell slowly begins to crack. Among them are the three Kawamoto sisters—Akari, Hinata, and Momo—who forge an affectionate and familial bond with Rei. Through these ties, he realizes that everyone is burdened by their own emotional hardships and begins learning how to rely on others while supporting them in return.
Nonetheless, the life of a professional is not easy. Between tournaments, championships, and title matches, the pressure mounts as Rei advances through the ranks and encounters incredibly skilled opponents. As he manages his relationships with those who have grown close to him, the shogi player continues to search for the reason he plays the game that defines his career.
To me, 3-gatsu no Lion is the epitome of human emotion, an experience rivalled by none.
A strong display of emotional resonance; the second season of 3-gatsu no Lion manages to go above and beyond expectations to provide something of overwhelming beauty.
It’s a show of many acts; the first season—while boasting many heavy themes—is an elegant watch, which reels the viewer in with a so…
A beautifully-nuanced Slice of Life that shows how we move through life in the company of others' stories
March Comes In Like a Lion is an anime that surpasses even the most nuanced of modern media. It’s well-lauded by fans and critics alike, and many of the reviews on this site and others speak meaningfully to the reasons why. However, I feel that while these reviews do an outstanding job of touching o…
Every now and then an anime exceeds all expectations, and turns into an unbelievable masterpiece.
~~~__Every now and then an anime exceeds all expectations, and turns into an unbelievable masterpiece. This is the case with the 2nd season of March Comes in like a Lion.__~~~
Similarly to the first season, I shall start off by straight up saying that you should only watch this anime if you are oka…
So close to becoming the single greatest anime of all time. I would sacrifice my newborn child for a season 3.
The first season of March Comes in Like a Lion was already really **** good.
I feel like I need to say that up front so we can get a baseline of what we’re dealing with here. Sangatsu was a masterpiece right from the start. Gripping drama, compelling characters, some of the most intricate relations…
There is a bit of folklore about March. The saying goes that “if March comes in like a lion, then it will go out like a lamb.” Essentially it means that if the Month of March starts off with cold and harsh winter, it will end with a warm and welcoming Spring. Or in its literary meaning, a charact…
I think this show is a must-watch for everyone who loves anime. Especially if you're going through tough times.
This review was written after completing season 2 of the show but also covers season 1.
First of all, I would like to clarify that this review might be strongly biased. I was going through tough times myself when the show was airing, and the show dealt with some of the problems I was going through…
I really don’t know how to write about this series. That isn’t to say I don’t know why I like it or anything, but I don’t know how to not hide the bias. 3-gatsu no lion is my favorite anime. I think it’s the best thing this medium has to offer, & it’s by far not only shaft’s but Akiyuki Shinbou’s be…
I wanted to talk about 3-gatsu no lion and I figured using the Anilist tags of the franchise could help me structure this review. I will not explicetely talk about scenes that may give spoilers without the spoilers mark but I'll still talk about the progression of the story as a whole thus there wil…

After thinking for a while the best thing I could come up with about this anime is that it is __BEAUTIFUL!__
After thinking for a while the best thing I could come up with about this anime is that it is __BEAUTIFUL!__
The story remains mixture of feelings. It makes you sad and some time after it gives you warmth. In this part of the story I felt there was more growth and change. At some point the story sh…
Season 2 of March Comes In Like a Lion fully delves into drama, further developing its wonderful cast of characters
With the conclusion of Season 1, I felt March Comes in Like a Lion was a charming show with strong characters but ultimately felt dissatisfied with its tone and comedy. It had the typical Shaft qualities with its art style and visual direction, but I often felt like it dampened the heart of the mess…
A superhero anime that masquerades as a realistic slice-of-life
Ah, 3-gatsu no Lion. How I wanted to love you, and how disappointed I ultimately was. Most of the time I agree with the crowd when it comes to such things such as media review. If it’s well-received by critics, I tend to like it as well. If most people find shortcomings, most of the time I resonate…
