    Masterpiece

    Simple story,but amazing writing,beautiful animations, extraordinary soundtracks,great character developments turns 3-gatsu no lion into something special,like a precious red diamond..

    Loved how the writer focused on daily life struggles and depressions,but heartwarming at the same time...

    Start taking notes, It'll teach you how to live

    I can't preach enough how much this is one of the best character driven stories to be made in the modern era. Part of it is credit of the source material, for sure, the mangaka who made it is extremely sensible and wrote it beautifully. But studio Shaft has shown us how to adapt things well, first with the Monogatari Series and now with Sangatsu no Lion. There's enough good stuff here for me to make a book about every episode, but I must say that one thing in particular just made me lose my marbles, and I'm talking about the last episode from the second season. I won't spoil anything here, so all I can say is: It has the best prologue to a last episode that was ever made. And I'm not exagerating just to create shock value, I genuinely believe it and extend this to any other kind of episodic show, be it anime, live action, series, anything. If, for some reason, you never watched this anime, do it right now. Also, don't think I hyped it too much with all I just said, it will surprise you with everything else before getting there.

    I saw myself....

    The anime is a great anime of slice of life genre. To watch its greatness be patient and watch both seasons and you will be delighted to watch it. <Must recommeded but on a slow pace.

    Sangatsu no Lion (2016-)

    March comes in like a lion pacing and developing carefully, every move leads to a new consequence. One of the most beautiful exhibition in Sangatsu is a conflict between the security of the sensation of being home, and the personality of Rai himself of going forward endlessly.
