I miss BUMP OF CHICKEN doing the themes. Maybe 2nd cour. I really hate how Crunchyroll just calls this "episode 23" for season 1...totally inaccurate -_-.

Spoilers a bit later....


Ah damn. I wanted it to be the other one, haha.

Rei didn't get to this point until episode 22 it's been one episode since he started his new outlook on life so I don't know how quickly they need to move on from a plot point they established an episode ago


I would have to go back to earlier episodes, but I'm pretty sure this is not the first time he's come to the realization that he has people that care about him. Not that it matters -too- much if I'm right, it was just something that slightly bothered me. Still liked the episode. Wish people quoting me would stop insinuating I just don't get depression or something like that.
my point was that this is a first time he went out of his way to make friends he just started the club in in the previous episode I never insinuated that you don't understand depression. My view is this is one of the first time he's interacting with people who aren't the Kawamoto sisters, teacher or professional acquaintances in a meaningful way.

It wasn't too long ago that I watched the first season, it isn't one of my favorites but it's still good, since it's in the kind of genre that I enjoy watching.
But the start of this season felt kind of off, the animations are heavily and weirdly artistic (?) unlike the first season, and it did bother me.
All in all the episode felt a bit weird and a tad too slow. Nonetheless did I enjoy the emotions of the protagonist (Am bad with names, lul) towards his establishing every day life.
I'll obviously keep watching and I hope that it comes back to the style of the first season, or even better.

I already made my point. Several times. Just re-read what I've already wrote on the matter, or follow up in PM/comments sections.

Nice to be watching this again. The change in tone of the OP and ED animation was nice. The drowning metaphor is gone, but the water symbolism remains. Kiriyama is overcoming what's holding him down.

Like the show, he'll take that cake,,,AND EAT IT!!

I recently finished watching the first season of 'March comes in like a Lion' and I thoroughly enjoyed. So imagine my delight when I found out that season 2 came out. I have to admit, this first episode was great, but one tiny hiccup.

Ramune is a summer drink, what they made is sherbet lemon.
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!!

The beginning of this second season is more than good, it seems to have never ended up seeing this anime series. New characters are quite hilarious. The new opening I like, but the one I most liked is the first opening of the first season. It's always nice to see the three Kawamoto sisters again. :D

This new episode feels like a totally different show to me the animation and just overall mood/tone of the show seems so much different then before. I feel like they have taken out the deeper meaning/plot from before. I didn't enjoy this episode but I'm willing to watch a few more its disappointing to me the show seems to be taking a different direction. The new opening is soooo different in contrast to the old one and for tells to me this season is going to be more boring and fluffy bunny then the last. I want the old March Come In Like A Lion back. I really hope ep2 is better.

Prologue & OP has this gorgeous summer glow.
Mostly fun science club stuff. That Star Wars.
Rei & everyone's lips seem much thinner now, less anxiety filled.

I am watching this for sisters but this episode was way too good in its own regard.

Seems like Shaft had finally broken the chain, untied their hands and delivered awesome animation... this is already better than whole sterile first season that I suffered through in its second part!

So lets hope they would maintain the tempo and improve a lot.

beautiful opening visuals

ok first episode.. kinda sad that the show lost its drama aspect (not entirely but yeah)

and tbh i don't see it coming back. The anime shifted into a lighthearted/comedy show with the second half of the first season. I will just have to accept that from now on.

Exactly my thoughts. Loved the first half of the anime. Its been like this since the second half. I just watched the first episode, i still have my hopes for a more darker tone but yeah not really likely

I really liked this episode but I felt it could've worked better for the first season, as the final episode. The op was okey, I still prefer s1's first one and the ending had pretty visuals.

Rei seems quite happy now, good for him. Oh god, the sisters eating ramune... Too sugary, call an ambulance..... please....

Rei seems to be better at teaching shogi this time around, at least. Last time he tried to teach people shogi it didn't go too well. The animation quality got so much better, it's quite impressive. Rei freezing when asked if he enjoyed playing shogi was pretty amusing. I didn't realize Souya had such a low win rate. It makes sense, of course, but I still wasn't expecting it. I do wonder what goes through his mind when he loses a game. Kuma murdering those cakes made me really hungry for sweets. Is pure glucose any good? Rei getting so excited over making ramune (TIL what ramune was, I thought the subs were misspelling ramen) was so cute! Momo is back!

Season 2 looks promising, the visuals look better

When you realise that the food had more screentime than shogi, looks like this is becoming a food series

I'm happy Rei have a club now and friends :)

Sensei is so childish but so funny lol
Master Souya is so cool! I didn't know being defeated can be so frustrating for genius too.. I didn't know board games can be this serious!

Rei should live with 3 sisters! It's good to see him happy with people who really treasure and care of him <3

On my second watch-through of Sangatsu. I love the ED for this first half so much, it's one of-if not-my favorite ED. I think it's the animation mainly. When Rei stared into my soul, I felt that. O_O And the puppet on a string metaphor is really powerful IMO. I love this anime so much.

Wow that was a very interesting start. I really enjoy this first episode. The animation and BGM are still great.

Glad to see Rei enjoying the club activities. He also knows how to explain Shogi now in a more interesting and easy way lol.

The end of this episode has one of its quintessential scenes about the purity and goodness of life. Wholesomeness. A feeling you know with your whole being. It’s really the main reason I like this anime. I’m just waiting for these scenes and that feeling.
This one is the giddy feeling you get when you want to share something that makes you deeply happy with the ones you love in hopes that they will feel the same happiness.

I'm glad that first Rei's school friend finally got face.. ;D Because before he was just glasses and mustache..
Wonder, if maybe Rei will take some of things made in club for his shougi time too.. Like that lamune..
Interesting that Rei wants to visit Kawamoto sisters now.. Well, as sometimes he wants, and sometimes he doesn't want..

I understand that overwhelming feeling of tears that Rei's trying to hold back. I've learned that it comes from a feeling of connecting to the experience one is going through. It's a wonderful feeling!

Souya and Kamakura both had their different ways to get glucose in the match. I wonder if Rei ever needs to do that in a match as well, if he'll use ramune! That'd be kinda cool!

End card was illustrated by Miura?. I was surprised when I saw. It is just a guess but I think he WAS a fan of this series/manga.

Yes, Miura loved 3-gatsu and deeply respected Umino Chika. But I mean, who in the industry wouldn't?

I'm glad he has friends and it go smooth...but someone need to tell him he has to man up, or the world will eat him alive, like his sister does...he need to face his weaknesses if he is gonna face the world. They all go easy on him.
