Summary:
It took me a while to get used to the artstyle of 3-gatsu no Lion, but once I got used to it,
this series has easily become my top 5 best anime series of all time. While it is not as complete as Assassination Classroom in terms of what the series can offer, 3-gatsu no Lion compensates with unique cinematography, example showcased in the form of 5-seconds close up shots, unique music scores, etc. Similar to Assassination Classroom, the majority of the casts gets their spotlight, although this season mainly (and understandably) focused on Rei's perspective. Nevertheless, the story is anything but one-dimentional, bringing in multiple themes applicable to real-life situations (such as depression, the importance of companions and how to be a valuable companion, etc.). The direction of the art, storytelling and cinematography actually reminds me of Disney Pixar's Ratatouille (won't go into detail on this).
What I like: many things, but especially: music scores, cinematography, multi-dimentional story
What I dislike: maybe too shogi centric...although that is kind of the point of the story
Details: POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING

causing serious mental scar to Rei. It goes to show that Rei's not fully righteous. He even failed
to pass judgment to Gotou, as shown by his lost in shogi match, which serve as a valuable lesson to Rei later on.
