Anime 35180 3-gatsu No Lion 2nd Season Userrecs

3-gatsu no Lion is like Clannad: After Story but handled right in every aspect. 3-gatsu has richer character study, beautiful art (both character and background), and - most importantly - cute girls without eyeballs covering their faces. They're both emotional rollercoaster when it comes to enjoyment. While Clannad: AS uses spiritual elements to its plot, 3-gatsu in the other hand uses a realistic approach just like any slice of life shows out there. 

Both are masterpieces While clannad after story uses real-life situations and uses fantasy, march comes in like a lion uses real-life problems without fantasy. Both kind of give off the same vibe because both shows make us understand how the characters feel and the visuals are very beautiful. While I like clannad after story more, march comes in like a lion made me cry around the 4th episode while clannad made me cry more around the second half.  

Not sure if this comparison is done often but it probably is, the main characters in both of these series both struggle with internal loneliness, obligation, and the feeling of being out of place or lacking a support system. They are also somewhat saved or changed by a kind group of females/female that helps encourage them and provide them with warmth they lacked before. I got a lot of your lie in April vibes watching Gatsu and if you like your lie in april in turn I think you'd be able to love Gatsu, and if you liked Gatsu you probably watched your lie but you'd probably like your lie in turn, the main characters are VERY similar and it tackles similar themes regarding prodigies, pressure, obligation etc. Both series are also animated wonderfully as well.
