The anime series “March Comes in Like a Lion season 3” was created according to the manga by Tiki Umino, whose release continues to this day, beginning in July 2007. Shaft Studio, which released the series, has long been famous for its excellent works, such as “Madoka Magical Girl”, the cycle of stories “Gatari”, “Farewell, Dull Teacher” and many others. Manga “Sangatsu no rion” was repeatedly nominated and awarded with prizes of the year, as well as highly appreciated by critics for her heartfelt story.
As of October 2021, there is still no information about the season 3 of the anime “March Comes in Like a Lion”. The production of new episodes is not underway and there are no official statements about the continuation of the series either.
A bit about the plot
The plot of the anime series and manga tells us about a young guy named Rei Kiriyama. According to the tradition of the genre, Rei does not stand out in anything, except for his incredible shogi skills (a Japanese board game similar to chess). The protagonist is an orphan, he lost his parents and sister in the accident, after which the boy was sheltered by his father’s friend, Masakichik Koda, who taught the guy to play shogi.
Quite recently, Kiriyama began to live an independent life, but the problems inherent in adolescents have not disappeared: relations with the foster family are strained, they can not communicate with peers, and a depressed depression promises to destroy all plans for life. It seems that only shogi games can become the only outlet in the life of a guy, but every day this hope is rapidly fading.
The quiet life of Rei Kiriyama ends when he happens to be in an old house in the suburbs and meets with smiling and gay sisters, whose laughter and fun literally lays the ears.
Basic Characters
Harunobu Nikaido is a fat young man from a wealthy family. He is a professional player in the game, has the fourth dan (sports rank). He considers Rei his best friend and rival, the latter himself very much resists the latter. Harunobu has poor health and often appears in the company of the butler of Hanaoka.
Masakichika Koda is the friend of the father of the protagonist. It was he who sheltered the boy after a car accident and taught him how to play shogi. Having estimated Rei’s potential, he began to devote more time to it than triggered a conflict within the family between Kiriyama and the native Masakichi children.
Kyoko Koda is a beautiful girl with wheaten hair. Older than Rei for four years. It does not have the most pleasant character and negatively affects the main character. He still lives with his family.
Features anime
You can not call the series unambiguous. Many fans of the studio Shaft already had time to evaluate the pictures on various topics, from parodies to mysticism and psychedelics. However, with the March lion – quite different things.
At first, the show seems a bit tight, but all because of the demonstration of the protagonist’s experiences. It is impossible to show the depression bright and colorful, because many of the moments of the series are executed either in black and white or the characters do not say a word. Then the viewer becomes clear that the work of Tiki Umino is much deeper than it seems at first glance.
What to expect from the new season?
We can say with certainty that for the sake of the incomparable graphic component the series is worthy of attention. Studio Shaft has always struck a high-quality picture and the disclosure of plot lines. Whether the main character’s depression will come to an end and how his new acquaintances will help him, what awaits them in advance – all this can be learned only in the new season.
