There is hope, victory is at hand, the path towards a bright future is at the end of this dark corridor. They were so close, but alas reality is cruel.
March, the sweet young girl with innocent dreams to be a mother, learn, live out a peaceful life is shot mercilessly in cold blood from an arrow, the embodiment of Yanome's cruelty towards Ninnanah and its people. Seeing her soul watch over her death in addition to a figure of how March would have turned out had she lived is all too deep of a feel trip, but what arose from this feels is not just sadness, but unbridled rage for HayasaBITCH who stole away a precious young life, her compassion and care for others will never be felt ever again in this world. Such is the reality at hand. With that in mind...

The world shall know pain...

The satisfaction I receive upon seeing Fushi's oniguma form BITCH-SLAPPING the fuck out of HayasaBITCH is akin to opening the greatest present given in your life. Such a deserved gesture for such a psychopathic maniac who knows not the scarcity of innocent life but only her selfish greed.

March sacrificed herself to save the woman she has always wanted to be, but also inadvertently provided more stimuli and information to the Fushi she cared about. He has now begun to comprehend emotions and how life besides his is extinguishable. And conveniently, with him in the form of oniguma, he too has indirectly opened the eyes of Ninnanah to the false lies that they've known as tradition thus far. With that, comes the end of a story between Fushi and Ninnanah. The arrow shot at the Bitch's hand marks just that, a farewell from Parona to him.

I'm honestly at the brink of crying. They did well with building March's character. Her death was very hard-hitting.

How could anyone be happy with March's death? She might have an annoying personality to some but it doesn't mean she deserves death. I think a personality like hers is normal for an innocent little girl.

Thanks god she died. I feared we would have this annoying brat during the whole anime. How do they want us to feel sad over her death when every single second with her on screen was a pain ?
Two time in five episodes they are doing the same. I hope it won't become an habit.

Only brain dead viewers and must have a screw loose can feel good when March died. March she is the best girl, she's so sweet, very kind, brave, strong. selfless and she still has beautiful dreams. see her as a character She is a character that is very important to Fushi's development. She made Fushi know learning basics, manner, the love, andattachment, relationships and emotion. And she also inspired a lot to fushi want to learning everything and grow up.
And she also caring and takes care about fushi with her pure love always. She is the one who creates the most love for him and she is the mood booster for him the most. She transformed him from a indifferent creature. Become a creature that understands love and attachment and have the inspiration to want to learn many things (That's why Fushi learns and develops quickly after march arc. because he was inspired by March, He inherited her wishes.)
That's why March is really his best mom. even fushi admits that March is his mother.

Overall she really is the best character. She was only innocent 5 year-old child has a pure heart and who just wanted to grow up. (She was also very strong child and she also tried to tell her parents that she was fine even though she faced a terrible situation and she was brave and selfless in protecting parona. She is a respectable child.)

When looking at her as a person in this world. She's very kind, good-natured, and friendly to everyone. And she also can to selfless for others.
When looking at her as a child. She's so sweet, precious, adorable and cutest child.
When looking at her as a character. She is very important character to development of mc and storyline.
She's not a brat, She's not spoiled kid and She's not a bad person. She didn't do anything wrong. She is really very good and best kid. I really don't see any reason to hate her. She deserves the world. She deserves to be the love.

How can you hate her?
Maybe you don't like her rambunctious. But she did so because she was demanding what is right and what she deserved or was fighting for her rights and her freedom. She didn't do anything wrong. She did it right and was very admirable

Or maybe you're upset cause she protects the giant bear corpse. That was because she had a good connection with the giant bear. March can feel the giant bear "thank-you" speech. So she knows and understands. March is the one who understands giant bear the most. as she said "You're just a bear who likes human meats. People made big fuss over you and shot you with arrows. and they made you out to be like the real scary spirit bear." And it made march and giant bear became sweetest and best friends to each other. it's different from Parona that she still doesn't understand about march and oniguma connection. (And of course, March is still a child with a pure-hearted and she doesn't want to hurt anyone or she doesn't want to see anyone suffer.)
but in the end. The cutting of oniguma meat was unnecessary. because the sacrifice of march had caused the child sacrifice tradition to be abolished in the end.

or do you hate her cause just her voice? That's a ridiculous and idiotic reason and it comes from your prejudice. She was just a little girl was only 5 years old. Her voice (by rie hikisaka) is a very great voice and it truly fits the childish personality and looks natural and perfect for a 5 year old little girl character. Her voice seemed normal, childish and good for her age. There was nothing strange or bad at all. (And in the fact. you can find that there are many anime kid characters or a kids in real life that they have a voice like her or have a worse voice than her and that's normal)

Or do you hate her just because her looks and her personality? Because she is just an normal little girl ?. Because she doesn't have superpowers or doesn't have a fantasy look?, Because she's not a cool character? You hate her because she's just a child and she has realistic child personality? That's a stupid, nonsense, weirdo, and narrow-minded reason. it doesn't make sense.

However. She didn't do anything wrong at all. she did her best. She's not a brat or spoiled kid. She was a cutest and very admirable kid. She's just a innocent 5 year old kid who just wanted to grow up and she can be the best mom, She is very kind and friendly to everyone. She's so strong, brave and selfless. She has done many great things beyond her age. I don't see any reason to hate her. She deserves respect.

Usually many anime child characters are silly, nonsensical and unreasonable.
But for march, She is better than that so much, She's smart kid and every action she did had a good reason.

You can found her annoying. But that doesn't mean she deserves death. She's not a evil person and she didn't do anything wrong. She's a good-hearted child and just wanted to grow up. She literally deserve the world.

You must distinguish between a evil person who deserves to die, and the person who are just annoying. It's completely different. because of the facts Annoying things are common to many people and that's normal. You can often find annoyances in your friends, your girlfriend or your family. But that doesn't mean that You want them all deserves death, as long as they are not evil people They still didn't deserve to die. (Some people seem to have been annoying all their lives. But in the end, they are good and selfless people. Of course, they are still respected by many people.)

And don't forget yourself or me or many people, Everyone has been an annoying and worse child than March. But you and me and many others are still alive in now, If you think that just seeing someone is annoying and deserves to die. Everyone in the world deserves to die.
(However, The fact. March she wasn't annoying at all. She is a good girl with a good heart. She's not bad at all. She is a very kind and friendly child. that you can feel annoyed about her, It is because of your violent prejudice towards her and you haven't opened your mind to understand her.)

If you can feel good when march died, This is the idea of a mentally ill person or a psychopath who is insane and inhumane. you are narrow-minded and lacking sympathy. You didn't use good reason to judge March. you has a prejudice against her too much. You don't try to understand her character. You are unfair for March. You are the evil people with very disgusting thoughts. Your action and attitude is not different from those of hate crime cause it's this hatred that comes from prejudice and discrimination (Obviously, You hate her cause just her appearance and you don't care about her roles or her actions at all, You can't claim that you hate her as a character, because March as her character has such a wonderful and admirable role. She's a character who is important to the development of the story and has done a lot of great things. As I said above.). You all have a strenge prejudice and you still lack a lot of understanding. You didn't try to understand everything well enough before making a judgment. Your thoughts and opinions are really bad and worst.

That you just didn't like her, It doesn't mean that you have to prejudice her or discriminate against her. as if she did not deserve human rights. It's really unfair and incorrect.

You don't have to like her. You have the right to dislike her. But you shouldn't insult her or doesn't care about her at all. It's not fair. Because she is a one of character that is very important to the development and change of many things in story. At least you shouldn't forget the many good things she has done as a one of good character in the storyline.
You should respect her as she is fushi's best mom and she's very important to his development. You should respect her that she was brave and sacrifice to protect Parona..
You should appreciate her as the one who can make oniguma become friendly to humans.
You should appreciate her as she is the little girl sacrifice for her village and made the village of ninannah no more foolish traditions. She's not a bad or worthless character. You should be fair to her.
I want you to open up your mind more.

If you read manga without prejudice against her. You will understand that she is truly the best girl and that Fushi loves her the most like his biological mother. Although he didn't directly call her mom. March, she is very important to him.

I don't know what weird and nonsense you are expecting. but apparently You still don't understand the presentation of the story. I can understand you might find it boring. But that doesn't mean it's bad, because the march arc is just the beginning that focuses on simplicity and abstraction. and Fushi is still in the early stage of development. focusing on the mental and abstract aspects, It is not yet the moment when mc will show his true potential. The story is slowly progressing and it's good detailed, And the march arc is great for basic development. It makes sense. (And that's the reason why gugu arc is great because it is the result of the march arc.) to your eternity is a different anime from other many anime. The presentation of the story to your eternity focuses on the connection, attachment, family relationships, heart, mind, emotional and learning to understand different many people and others, Many things in the story are quite psychological. It may seem boring If you just expect it to be like any anime you've seen for fun, You just still don't understands anything.
Maybe you're just hyperactive, impatient and tantrum viewer who don't think about trying to understand something well enough. You have to use feelings and emotions to watch. If you're just watching for fun like normal action anime, You won't get anything from watching this show.

And the last.
I understand that people have different purposes and interests. But that doesn't mean you have to insult or think that everything else that you don't care about is bad or worthless. I understand that everyone has the right to like or hate a character. But you should have good reason and fairness without prejudice to judge the characters.

In my opinion, March is the cutest little girl characters I have ever seen in an anime. Her character is one of truly the best child characters ever, She has a one of the best design and best realistic childish personality, natural looking, Great facial expressions and emotions, lively, unique, charming, great role, great development and profound show. She's really so smart and strong child, And she has done a lot of great things in the story. She was an admirable and respectable child. The presentation of her character and her story is so amazing, touching, dramatic and made my emotional. March's character and her arc is a masterpiece. Also I have a feeling that she is much more than just a fictional character. That's why I got attached to her and love her so much. And when she died I literally feel so sad and pain, She really deserves better.

If you can't appreciate the work, At least you shouldn't be insulting the work or someone else's feelings.

that thing went right through her liver and possibly diaphragm and lung. she is very small, even an adult would have a tough time depending on the angle and depth, without immediate surgery.
as for the people that hate march: please never be around children, wtf

Yoshitoki Ōima knows how to make some emotional stories. Has quite a few similarities with violet evergarden and how the protagonist is a blank slate in a lot of ways that is slowly learning about emotions through there journey. What does it mean to be human?

March's protective sacrifice "opened the vessel" for Fushi to become Oniguma

I don't think that is true. The text came after Oniguma died, which seems to be the criteria for the orb to take on an organic being's shape. It happened as well with the wolf, and it happened with the boy.

Wow, March's death did not hit me at all because I was convinced she won't die like that but she did. Kinda anticlimactic tbh. Tho Parona is an absolute mvp and seeing her in agony after failing to save March was really sad. Kinda disappointed Parona won't be a prominent character in the story, I really enjoyed her on screen.

RIP March

We lost March in this episode and it looks like Fushi is on his own again, probably heading to another nation while also running away from Hayase. Idk why though, but for some reason this episode didn't hit me as hard as the first. Maybe it's because I watched that earlier today and I already teared up to that or something? Idk but man that still sucked

Aww shit, it's sad to see the little girl die, it was quite an emotional episode, and darn that other bitch that killed her, she will be one obsessed bitch now, she has that psycho look on her face at the end of the episode.

I'm enjoying this anime so far, I hope they don't screw it up later on, a lot of animes start good but they get crappier as the episodes go by, I hope this isn't one of them. Crossing my fingers that this anime won't disappoint me.

This was quite feels inducing, almost brought me to tears, great episode, the animation is superb.

I'm interested in how Fushi could interact with dead March, was this just symbolic for Fushis growth by March dying (his emotional development basically being represented by Marchs death, and her final wish being one he realises due to that growth which grants him enough insight to understand, the suicide is something March wouldnt want), or is this an actual interaction? Up to now this anime has been pretty good.

God... so much has happened that I don't know where to start.

It was too sad. I thought it was Parona who was going to die. Who would have thought it would be March? Shit. After everything they went through, in the end March still couldn't live as an adult. March couldn't realize her dream of becoming a mother.

The short haired one is still alive. Shit. I thought she was dead. Even though her face was damaged, I wasn't satisfied. I was really happy when she was attacked by Fushi, because it was deadly. Turns out she's still alive.... argh.

And it seems Fushi is starting to understand emotions as well as words. He began to show various facial expressions, and understood what Parona was saying. But it's honestly really sad that he had to part with March. Even though Fushi was eventually able to take March's form, they still couldn't go on a journey together anymore </3

This was too sad. I didn't expect it to be like this. I hope March can be happy now in heaven and Fushi can also continue his journey well.
