So I actually had a lot more notes that I didn't end up incorporating into the video, just gonna leave it here! Rei's teacher goes out of his way to eat lunch with him on the stairs, and Rei later mentions that he's been eating alone for 11 years. When we first see Rei walking home from the Kawamoto house in the second episode, he mentions that the leftovers felt warm against his body, like a small animal. Hina mentions that Akari likes to bring home strays and make them "soft and fluffy," essentially smothering them with food. She also remarks that she was surprised when she brought home a boy! Nikaidou's butler brings them sweets in appreciation of them hosting him. Hina doesn't have enough money (100 yen) to buy the new drink she wanted, so Rei buys it for her and then they run into Takahashi. Seeing empty bento boxes for New Years, Akari says she feels the need to fill them and gains a sense of achievement for doing so. Kiriyama shows up at a sick Shimada-san's house with groceries and cooks him a meal. Oh and how could I forget, Takahashi cooks them monja in the very last episode, and says he'll bring the tradition with him when he moves to share it with others. Hina reconciles with the other members of her class by doing what? Baking pastries. Etc etc etc. There's a ton of examples!

Sangatsu no lion is about everything. Seriously, I feel like wonderful analysis like this could be made over almost literally any topic when it comes to Sangatsu because this show is so perfect, and it makes me sad that this is so disgustingly, criminally, overlooked as a show. Your personal story fits so well with this theme in the show and is really heart warming/breaking. Thanks for the video :)

Awwwwwwwwwww that story about your dad was so sweet~

This show is a masterpiece, going into so much character detail that most other shows don't to create such a beautiful story of just people living their lives and coping and it's sad yet so deeply inspiring and heartwarming

As a guy, who isn't that good in understanding english from hearing: thank you for adding subtitles :3

I gave $1000 to my dad with a note saying "Feliz dia del padre" later he came by my room ans ask if I typed a extra 0 by mistake, I said: Happy father's day and not I didn't, you can take it as a payment for the laptop (process to point at 8+ years old laptop)" pops:"but won't you any have money left after this?" me: "nope" Pops:"ok, thank you (chuckles)". Shortly after I was overhearing him talking to a roomate in the living room, based in the conversation I may have made my dad tear up a little.

I'd rather have this comment lost down here. I wanted to share it now Twitter, but nah... I'm currently preparing for my backlog exams (I failed in two subjects) and I didn't get any job in college placements, and my CV is mostly empty. My other batchmates have all but settled. My dad is doing everything he can, but he'll retire in about 2-3 years. We are not struggling or anything, but having not taken a position of responsibility even now, I can't be more ashamed. This is the reason why I was crying inside when I heard your story. Thank you for making this.

Beautiful analysis on the Kawamoto sisters. Through no fault of your own, the ending of this video made me cry, because I lost my dad 4 1/2 years ago. What I would give to wish him a happy father's day...

Two march comes in like a lion videos from subscriptions in one day. I am blessed. Also thankyou for talking about such an underwatched show

Oh my god. Grammatically and mechanically correct captions. Thank you.

You're dad sounds awesome. Sadly, my dad and I, while we do love each other, are not as close. Your relationship with your dad is very similar to my relationship with my mom though. We also lived in similar living conditions growing up, but thankfully because of my grandparents and school, a lot of stress was taken off my mom. I think our lives would have been a lot harder if we didn't have a strong support system.

Dude that was heartwarming. I hope your family is doing great!

I wish you and your dad good health.

D'awwwwwwwww, that was really cute! I mean you. Your life story. I knew Sangatsu no Lion is cute already.

This family is wonderful. I live for the food! Also Momo and the cats.

Sangatsu no lion is so good i have no problems watching eps over and over while many anime now a days dont have that repeat value

Dude. You almost made me cry.

Oh my god, Kami! You are such a good son! :')

Amazing as always! keep doin u

i gotta watch this. great video

Thank you...thank you for doing this. People who understand the depth of Sangatsu no Lion, and can resonate with its elements, are people I'm more than willing to call a friend.

This video is simply amazing! I know it has been said before, but the way you added your own story to the whole food and poverty theme from the show is beautiful and touching to say the least. Great video, I look forward to more of your content

Fantastic video yet again. Your family experiences flow so well into the topic and your delivery is on point. So heartwarming

Damn. Now I wanna watch this anime even more now

I have an idea why the Kawamoto family have a relationship with food; they are warm like food and feed the hungry heart of Rei.

I'm really greatful for seeing this video even 4 years later I just found it on Father's day to lol at the end I was suprised, eating together and bond over food are very important things sangatsu no lion is a beautiful anime and I hope to see another season, it is very easy to relate to the characters in this story and even today these characters are beautiful and really well fleshed out I hope you have a good day I loved this video! :D

What a fantastic video. I've been on a Sangatsu spree for the past week. And it makes me very happy to see how everyone can share some kind of personal experience with this show - may it be the protagonist, the antagonist, the Kawamoto sisters and their family, or anyone in the supporting cast for that matter. This show gave some people the strength to live, some people the will to change, while some people the will to confess and express themselves. This community...this small family that has been created surrounding this underwatched show brings me to tears. I'm glad this show exists. I'm glad I found this at the perfect time in my life. I'm glad and grateful for the privileges I've had for me to be able to find other people who love this show just as much as I do or even more. Sangatsu no Lion was my very first life-changing experience, and I'm forever thankful to this show, its creator, and the people behind its production for bringing such a positive impact in my life.

Im not crying I'm drooling from my eyes.

Another good video, but your tagline at the end always makes me wince.

TEARS SHED HOW YOU DO THIS?

This is a very nice video. I'll give you a subscribe.

THIS VIDEO IS TOO DAMN WHOLESOME!

Akari best girl of all time

Fitting that this is about food since someone was clearly slicing onions during the story about your dad

Didn't know this would be so heck sweet

I'm not crying, you're crying

Beautiful. Both your explanation about food in Sangatsu no Lion and your personal life experience. I can't help but thinking about everything my father has given to me and I feel so blessed. Thanks for the amazing video.

Thanks for making this video man. I really liked a lot

That was actually a really touching video. Thanks dude I needed that.

That was really heartwarming, thank you for sharing. Now I am really curious what your mother's tongue is, you sound like a native in English.

Oh my god this video almost made me cry. You are an awesome person and you deserve more subscribers

great video, man. Legit becoming one of my favorite anime-youtubers, keep up the good work.

Honestly, I'd say that this was your best video. I like that you left a bit out, because your story and the 3-gatsu no lion story felt more intervened and more impactful. This is one of the few videos I cried to cause of relatability. It was really well done. I hope to see more content like this in the future :)

A monogatari fan AND a sangatsu no lion fan? Take my sub.

I still love hearing this story abour your family, i was never in that bad of a position, but my family struggles financial, sadly due to my depression and more at uni i had to leave early with a big bill, its been a few years and it still haunts my anxieties with my parents pushing me more and more, but hearing what it could have gone gives me a sense of, i dont know how to describe it, pleasure, at ease? That someone else managed to have some light even if they didnt live luxuriously

This is my favorite video of yours yet! Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us and the way they connected to 3gatsu. One can find a cold analysis anywhere, but these type of personal reflections bring infinitely more insight to the conversation. Bless your kind father and let's hope we get a third season of 3gatsu!

Just finished this show today, an absolute masterpiece and I don't say that about a lot. Great vid

whaaat this was so wholesome omgg

I'd be lying if I said my parents were perfect, but they tried their best in so many ways. The stories about your parents were heartwarming & it made me think of happy moments as well - both from 3-gatsu & my own. I wish you & your family the best in life.

Phenomenal video. The way you tied the video's main content into your own personal experiences and then back to the show was quite moving. Definitely deserve way more subscribers and way more views. Awesome, awesome job. Now let me go wipe my eyes

Congrats your video made it to the front page of /r/Anime looks like your hard work is starting to pay off

I love it! You've been getting better and better, and you really brought forth your own voice here. Your writing style and your cadence sound nothing like anyone else in anitube, and I mean that in a good way because way too many people try to sound like Digibro or Demolition D.

Wonderful and heartfelt video! That line about the Kawamoto sisters kidnapping Rei made me burst out laughing.

My favorite show!

I love how you didn't assume that the viewer was on good terms with their father - in my experience many assume, mainly those with what sounds like having a good parent(s) of their own that family relationships of those they talk to are good so thank you for that

I Love your vids

haha you make such good content, keep it up

I love your channel n-n-name. Sorry, I stuttered

GOOD VIDEOOOOOOOOO

wow dude you got me

I love your chanal

Just because there's food on screen doesn't mean its about food. Sounds like you have a good dad tho :)

Who wants to be PAMPERED?

Wait, I gotta call you out on something. You cited some statistics about families that eat together but this doesn't prove that eating together causes these things. Often a family eating together is symptomatic of stability (economic or otherwise) rather than being the cause of that stability. I do think there's a huge importance for someone to have a sense of community though and the Kawamotos foster that feeling perfectly in their actions towards Rei. Also Hina is perfect

don't worry, you didn't stutter

Can someone explain why it is "3-Gatsu"? Is it that in Japanese the months are just the number that represents the order that they come in during the year, followed by "gatsu"?

I FUCKIN CRIED MAN! Also can I ask what is your native language just curious as I can never place accents!

you got me on your sign out... shit take your like and sub

日本語でお願い。
