God that bullying arc was something special that I'll never be able to forget.

This masterpiece never getting a Season 3 would be a tragedy

I'm a simple man. Calming voices talking about anime I never heard of makes me happy.

I love how the show portrayes every player's playstyle with the person's personality so well. Even if you don't know anything about shogi this show becomes so much more intresting to watch.

This anime really encapsulates depression better than any other work of fiction I’ve read or seen. It hits everything just right. From the seemingly benign triggers that make you randomly weep, the extremely surreal moments of genuine happiness that remind you what it feels like to be happy, to the instinctual reaction of pushing everyone else away because you’re afraid of getting hurt even more. Damn...

Ghibili feels like your granma's house: safe, nostalgic, nurturing.

I absolutely adore this series, and have many KZfaq comments asking you to cover this series, I was not disappointed.

Thank you for covering this masterpiece.

*reminded of Rei's tragic past* Here come the tears again.

The feeling that this anime gave me is one of the most unique feeling that I had in my life

Ahhh this show is so under-appreciated! The art, the music, the characters , etc are amazing. You can truly see the love that went into the show.

"March Comes in like a Lion" reels you in with Shogi, then rips your heart out with love and loss.

I remember my friend talking about March Comes in Like a Lion years ago when the second season was airing, and I wondered how it could be. But I trusted him and put it on my plan to watch list, where it sat there until last year. And what I found was a master class in storytelling. A show that can make you depressed at times but at the same time make your sides heart from laughing, and by the second season, you are in troped in this world of shogi trying to learn more about the game in hopes of understanding it.

God I love this anime

A new video from Beyond-san!! Getting a notification from this channel absolutely made my day. I feel like a kid who just watched the latest movie from his favorite actor. Keep up the good work and have a great year dude.

I feel like you've made this video solely for me. Love 3-gatsu no lion and love your work.

I am a simple man. I see appreciation of "Honey and Clover", I immediately like the video

This series hit me so hard, especially during the Bully Arc. Everyting was such an emotional rollercoaster, and it makes you remember to treasure the quiet moments.

Excellent editing and the message was really well put together. Felt that time flew by at mach speed watching this one.

Darn, those ninjas with onions again...

Breathtaking editing... I love March comes like a lion so much. Glad that you’re covering it!

my love for this show knows no bounds... i have re-watched this series multiple times & i can never get enough of it.

FINALLY somebody is talking about this show and sending it proper praise! 👏

This 3-gatsu video is the largest fucking cherry on top the delightful cake that is this channel.

Joe making a video about my favourite anime of all time? I never clicked a video so fast in my life. Thank you so much, Joe.

As weeby as it may sound, March comes in like a Lion is the reason why I am determined to learn Japanese. I want to be able to read this manga and understand it. The translations are so poetic and profound that I feel sad about missing out on whatever is lost in translation.

Great job, Joe. You had me crying within three minutes! 😆 Thank you for once again recommending a show I didn't know I needed to watch. After a lifetime of locking myself in & everyone else out, I am beginning to slowly let down my guard & learn to let other people love me & accept me, even as I struggle to love & accept myself. I know I'm going to find a lot of truth & a lot of answers as I watch this with a few good friends. I had the privilege of watching the original Kino's Journey last weekend as I was recovering from a minor bout of food poisoning, & all I could do the entire show was think how perfect it would be for a Beyond Ghibli video. The art style, animation, pacing, the titular lead, the philosophical questions it asks & then so sweetly answers just beg for your warm, comforting, yet deeply analytical approach. Even if you never consider making a video about Kino's Journey, please give it a watch if you haven't already seen it, & a rewatch if you have. It would be nice to think I was able to maybe give something back to the man who has become the "Voice of Anime" to me & so many other otaku. Haruhi bless & keep you, my friend!

I don't know why, but your voice together with the visuals always get me tearing up a bit.

You are truly an underrated channel. I feel as though you put your heart into each video and your soothing voice just caresses my heart. Thank you for this video!

I love how much you capture of the felling that the smal shogi anime makes me feel. Thanks

This is truly a masterpiece

the whole show is embodied by a kotatsu that warm heart of the show slowy warming the rest of the body .... hosently at the end of the show i felt like i had been given the best hug of my life

Even tho this video is a very good anime review . This felt more personal at a emotional level. I have been struggling with alot of lost these past months. I've been struggling with my past demons for quite a while now I felt like I couldn't go forward. My job didn't make me feel like I was doing something for my life, I didn't feel like I add a future. Monney didn't make me feel better either. I didn't even see the point of living anymore, but even tho I tried to end it, I didn't want it. I've lost alot of pieces and felt like there was no returning points which made me go in a deeper down path. Then I seen this video in my recommended today. While watching it I was crying because I felt a connection deep in my soul which made a spark deep in the abyss I was surrounded with and made me finally see a glimpse of hope. Thanks you so much for making your video's you deserve so much more subscribers, you made believe I still can go forward thank you.

I don’t see enough people talk about this show. Absolutely one of my favorites tbh

New beyond ghibli video lets goooooo

God this show is such a masterpiece!

this channel is my comfort place

3-gatsu no lion is such a great anime. Glad you made a video about it.

I would love a 'Your Lie in April' video, but I also know I would cry through the whole thing.

A year late, but this video is the single BEST narration and interpretation I've seen covered for an anime. You have preached every detail I love about the anime that I could not ever put into words. Simply and truly glorious, keep it up!

someone who finally quotes Honey and clover, an unappreciated gem.

Ah! A beautiful video on a very beautiful Anime/Manga....I don't have enough words to fully appreciate it!

Ahhh that piano in the beginning took me back to when I watched this show.Just a heartwarming show ❤️❤️😩

I stumbled upon March Comes in Like a Lion last year, and it has since become one of my favorite pieces of media. I fear it might sound like an exaggeration, but I think it played a huge part in making me snap out of something I'd been living with for so long. I'd been years deep in what felt like a never-ending depressive episode, and just like that, this show made something snap in me. I saw so much of myself in this early lonely and utterly hopeless Rei, I was so taken aback when he started to actually get better. I felt as though he was somehow trying to carry me upwards with him. The show didn't instantly cure me or got rid of all my problems, but it took me by the shoulders, shook me and said, "What are you doing? You can at least try!" I had forgotten art had the power to strike a cord like that. This video definitely makes justice to all of that emotion the likes of which I'll never forget. Thank you so much.

oh hell yes my favorite anime of all time

Such a great video on a fantastic series. I constantly say this show evokes the feelings of isolation and home better then almost anything and the warmth of the girls house is one of my favorite settings in anime.

omg I love this show so much

This is my shit right here. When I first watched it I was blown away, and before it I had only seen my hero academia. It showed me how varied anime can be. And how beautiful

I love this anime from the depths of my heart.

Man I just can't get over how well produced all your videos are

Yesssssss. I had been waiting for this. Thank you for this.

Thank You!! I love this series

There is no other series that represents the warmth of a family as well as 3-gatsu no Lion. I really hope we don't have to wait too long for a third season.

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for someone to talk about this amazing show.

This is beautiful. Thanks.

Finallly I was waiting for you to cover this

I love these videos. They are so well done.

I love this series a lot, im so happy to see you make a video over it

Absolutely love this show. Great vid.

After watching the show thrice and reading the Manga I want to watch it a 4th time because of your video

One of those shows that saved my life, along with Natsume Yujinchou and Fruits Basket. I will be forever indebted to it, thank you for making this video Sir, good wishes 🤞🏻

I love this series and all of your videos! Fantastic work

I found your channel today and watched all the videos. I think i never in my life cried so mutch in a single day.

Another gorgeous essay. Thanks, Joe ❤️

Your writing, narration and video editing are stunning. Thanks for your hard work! I’m happy Sangatsu has reached enough you to deliver something of this quality.

Dude this is an incredible video. Thank you so much for covering this amazing show!

You never disappoint, Joe! Beautifully done.

Finally the recognition it deserves, thanks for this video

As always, it’s amazing ! A great work, subtile message of leaving on.

Beautiful, like the anime itself. So glad you picked this one up. Thank you

As always thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for covering this. I found this show at the very beginning of the pandemic, maybe not the best time to watch something so melancholic but it hit all the right spots for what I was needing. Thank you so much again.

So happy you did this. It’s one of the most beautiful anime I’ve ever seen and it’s a fantastic tribute to the effects of depression and what real love looks like in the face of it

I'm so happy that you covered this anime!! It's been one of my all time favorites for years. I just loved your video, the editing, the music choice, it's like you've captured the true essence of the show!

Truly my favorite anime, thanks for making this video.

You captured the themes of the show perfectly and put them into words that I've often struggled to find. There are many reasons why this show is my favourite anime of all time: The artistic storytelling in both the art and writing or that it hits home so hard emotionally that I had to pause a lot of times during moments of sadness or happiness to compose myself and through that connection was able to learn and grow even just a little is amazing to me. I'll be sharing this video around for you did an amazing job with this and I think this will give people a fantastic peek at what the show is all about.

A soothing voice and carefully chosen words about a show I deeply love. Thank you, I couldn't have asked for anything better

I got really interested in shogi after this anime

Another fantastic video as always. Always been meanin to watch sangatsu, but i think this has solidified it as my next series to watch. Thank you!

Omg can't believe you made a video about this anime!! I'm sooo happy

I love this show so much, lovelly video. im happy you covered this series no much people talk about, and it deserves more attention. Hoping for next season, it will cover my favorite arc in the manga.

Dammit man... with every video you make me empathize with characters and stories I don't know and maybe won't for a long while, leaving me with watery eyes. By far one of my favourite channels... thank you

Finally a new video from beyond ghibli! I love how this channel appreciate those underrated anime just like this masterpiece.. ❤️

Joe, what a wondeful and moving video! I love this series, as well as Honey and Clover and I was so excited seing you release this! Also, your editing keeps getting better my friend, truly a great job! I wish you the best.

March Comes In Like A Lion is one of my favorite series! Thanks for the video!

Simply Beautiful.... you explain the feeling we all had felt watching these two masterpieces.

This was beautiful man.

I absolutely love March Comes in Like a Lion (and Honey & Clover). So happy to see such a well done video covering the series!

This is a beautiful series full of touching moments and interactions.

I fell into this show and loved it.

In my mind, this anime can't be compared.

I’m sure others have told you this, but your anime analyses are lovely; almost unbearably beautiful. Thank you!

One of my favorite animes. Truly a hidden gem. Wasn’t expecting to enjoy it so much I binged through within 3-4 days. Learning about this game and optimism in the face of adversity always catches my attention.

Thanks. Thanks a lot for this video. I absolutely love this anime.

I love your cadence/voice. It's really calming and it sets the perfect tone for discussing the content you like to focus on. The general vibe of gentle thoughtfulness always keeps me coming back when you make new videos, and they always improve my day.

Hearing the beautiful soundtrack after a while almost made me cry, jeez this show is such a masterpiece.

Superbly narrated and elegantly edited. A fitting review for the masterpiece that is "March comes in like a lion".

this was beautiful, thank you. One of my favorite series which I started watching in 2016 when it released and I never finished it as much as I loved it. It hurt to go back to due to associated memories and things at the time but I truly did love it and honey and clover is also holds a special place for me. This video and your channel are so nice, I didn’t want the video to end. Thank you

thank you so much for this video. March comes in like a lion is one of if not my favourite anime of all time. But for the longest time i knew not why it was special, but simply that it was. Thank you for helping me appreciate something so dear to my heart once again.

Omfg what a gem of a channel. I honestly don't know that to say, I just love your writing about these shows. The last 2 videos about Vinland Saga and March Comes Like a Lion? 2 of my favorite shows? You just not only earned my sub but also earned a place on my favorite channels on this platform. Well done sir, next I will be watching your video about Mushishi, yet another favorite of mine.
