| I’ve found this anime pretty slow but I have also really enjoyed watching it. I tend to usually enjoy fast-paced, action anime. Spoilers-ish for later eps I suppose? Or maybe not. Idk. Thoughts? |

Both my parents and teachers put extreme pressure on me to keep taking it and straining myself when I didn’t need to. Then they’d wonder why my mental health was shitty. I’m finally dropping it this year but yeah, it really sucks.It’s a really good depiction of depression and real-world problems. The one that hit me the most was when Rei talks about being so good at something you dislike, being told you have to continue or you’re wasting potential, or something like that. |

DoobieSam said: This show is beautiful, but it is melancholy. The themes rang true to me on a personal level with mental health issues, so I found it to be special. But others won't be able to relate in thr same way I think it’s these realistic impactful moments that keep me watching the show. I’ve even found myself laughing which has taken me by surprised. I thought I would end up rating this show a 4 or lower due to pacing but it’s starting to look more like a 7-8. One of the few slice of lifes that I have actually enjoyed. |

| Out of countless "drama" shows and movies I have ever watched, for me, Sangatsu stands out on top of them all and it is not even close.The sheer relatability factor of this show and the ability of the author to humanize the characters to the extent that I have never seen anywhere before makes this show the best thing to have ever aired on TV. While the show has a plethora of "highlight" scenes, the subtle scenes where nothing out of the ordinary happens still amaze me as much. Ah, I still remember the impact that the scene where Shimada talks about his hometown with Rei had on me. The scene was nothing out of ordinary but that even that "nothing out of ordinary" scene made me resonate so strongly with him. I had to pause the episode and take it all in. |

| Honestly this is one of the most realistic/grounded anime ever. Easily a masterpiece, and it gets EVEN BETTER. |

| It's not only depression, I think. I think what makes this show/series so impressive is the way in which it depicts the full spectrum of human experience, melancholic when it needs to be, joyful and overflowing with positivity when it's warranted, and all throughout it is charming. And more than charming it is intimate: we know these people; we have been all of them at some point, or will be one day, or we know people who were or are. Umino Chica penned a masterpiece, and Shaft and Shinbou Akiyuki gave it their best in adapting it, and I don't think it's necessary to be mentally ill to relate to it. I think the people who dislike it or don't relate find other elements of the show alienating, like the pacing, or the art style, or even just the genre or subject matter. |
