3-gatsu no Lion Season 2 – Episodes 21 & 22 (END)

SEASON 3 WHEN

Winter 2018 – Week 8

3-gatsu is back, bois. Everything in the world feels right again.

Fall 2017 – Week 5

Fall 2017 sure is undoubtedly a blessing from the gods of anime, and to think that we're halfway done...

3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 22 (END)

Not the best ending I was looking for, but who cares? 3-gatsu was magnificent. Episode 22 was supposed to be an optimistic send-off, but for some odd reason that I'm still trying to explain, I was feeling restless instead. It isn't because of the episode itself, but rather, in the same way Rei asked why we …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 21

Episode 21 made me fall in love with 3-gatsu and with Japanese culture.... again. Ahh, Japanese culture and tradition. It's a topic I haven't discussed that much before given that we're mostly not well-versed with the subject matter, but this episode certainly is jam-packed to the brim of reasons why I want to visit Japan. …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episodes 19 & 20

Still remember how Shimada-san used to be a "side-character" Rei presumed as a hurdle? He's owning the show now. That's just one way you can translate the aphorism everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, and with consistent finesse, 3-gatsu was able to convey how arduous the path Shimada-san took. This has been …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 18

Can you believe that we only have 4 episodes left of 3-gatsu no Lion? Not much to say about this episode, honestly, but that part with Hayashida and Rei (again) pretty much spells out what 3-gatsu has been aiming for, despite its lack of an objective in sight. I mean, I remember asking myself before …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 17

Remember what I said months ago that 3-gatsu has one of the most strongest set of characters? I still do. Uhh. I don't know how best to describe this episode other than it's poetic. The visuals, the cuts, the staging, the composition, the sound editing, literally everything's fusing together into this symphony of cinematography mastery …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episodes 15-16

What do you do when you're on a slump? Like, when you feel like you can't do it anymore, or inspiration won't come regardless of how hard you search for one? It's a fairly simple answer, and you wouldn't be surprised to hear that you just have to stop doing it. Pause, take a step …

3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 14

Guess what? If 3-gatsu ended in 2016, it would have been my anime of the year. Seriously. Episode 14 had nothing flashy going on in it, which made me question whether or not Shaft deliberately aggravated the tone of the last episode to make Shimada's "wake-up call" to Rei more apparent this week. I have …
