NON-SPOILER
NOTE: I am only on episode 6 waiting for 7 at the time I write this.
So, lets get into this shall we.
Visuals: While the visuals aren't bad, they were new to me, the way the character's lips are drawn anyway. It's pretty darn good visuals, and its detailed, giving the main character, Rei, a generally grim face most the time, most befitting his character.
Transitions from scenes are good, and I'm finding myself like the art style more and more each episode. Also the OP is pretty good and the ED
Sound: Well, the sound is pretty good. The OP is good, and the ED is good.
...
The music hasn't really stuck out to me much. The sound effects are pretty good. Overall their good.
Characters: Well, each character is done extremely well, yes even the grandpa and Momo (especially momo) Regardless they are all very well done. Each has their own uniqueness to them, making me crave even more next week.
Story: It's brilliant! Each character deals with their trials differently, and it is very entertaining to see how they deal with it. Furthermore it is extremely interesting to see Rei become closer to the three sisters as the story progresses! The story is equally balanced among all the characters, with of course Rei being the main.
Enjoyment: I'm enjoying each episode each week. I genuinely am hoping for specific things to happen, and it is fun to see it all play out!
I hope you try March Comes In Like A Lion out for yourself, and form your own opinion.

Erased or (Boku dake fa Inai Machi/ The town where only I am missing), is very unique, as in I have never watched anything like it, and in the fact you can't say much without spoiling the first 3 episodes, never the less I will try my best.
Erased's episode 1&2 do a good job, at introducing the series, but Erased is one of those shows that gets better as you watch it, as the story is constantly evolving with each episode.
The Story:
Now this is the hard part where I can't say all that much. Erased has a fantastic story, which is based off the mystery
...
of what happened when Satoru, Our main protagonist, was a child. The story is evolving each episode, as you learn more about the characters, and why they are doing what they are doing. The show did a fantastic job, the only downfall being that at sometimes you could predict what was going to generally happen, but none the less still enjoy the ride, and still be slightly surprised even when you guessed right. The characters are also another key aspect of this show as they are the ones who truly make the story evolve, not some plot device, although it could be argued some characters were plot devices.
The Music:
Well, the music didn't stand out to me all that much, but that being said, it did add to the anime, and was good, and added to the mood of the anime. The Soundtrack had some good eerie tracks, and some good sad tracks, but never the less, I felt like even the more happier songs, still gave you a eerie feeling. Which added to the anime a very well.
The Characters:
First Our Main Protagonist, Satoru. Satoru in the beginning of the anime is slightly depressed, because of what happened when he was a child, although it is clear Satoru is very focused, as when he sets his mind on doing something, no matter what happens, he seems to still be set on his overall goal. Satoru is clever, and his character is changed for the better by the end of the anime.
I can't go over every, or one, specific character in the supporting cast without spoiling the series. That being said, All I can say is this, every character in the supporting cast is important to the series, and without even one of them, the story would have taken a very different path, even though some of them did very little. Each character grows in the anime, and through the story they are a part of, become better people. This is one of the reasons I enjoyed the characters.
Overall:
Well, the show does fantastic job with animation and art, good music, the story was great, even though at some times it was semi-predictable you could still enjoy it. The characters showed growth, in sometimes not so noticeable ways, but still changed. The story was excellent, it kept me wanting more, and left me satisfied with the ending. All being said, I would most definitely recommend this anime to almost anyone, and not just because of one part, more because I feel as if the show can not be fully enjoyed until you have seen all of it. In fact the only reason this show did not receive a ten from me, was because of some slight flaws, that being said it is still a great show.

Plastic Memories, I feel as if Episode 1 sets you up, basically saying Here is the tip of the iceberg, everything from here is more and more sad. Episode one does a very good job at introducing the show, and showing what type of show it will be.
The Story:
The Story is in my mind, one of the best I've seen, there is no overall antagonist, it is literally just about Tsukasa, Isla, and the rest Terminal Service. The story gets better and better with every episode you watch, and It almost feels as if they show you sad events as if only to prepare you
...
for the ultimate sad event at the End.
While the Story is extremely sad, it is sad in a happy way, meaning it is only sad because it was so happy. The music Does a very great job at giving this feel.
The Music:
Yokoyama Masaru, does the majority of the music, and does a extremely good job at it. With the tracks like, Memories, The fact of the Depression, bye, and of course the track that was done with Melody Chubak, again & again, shows just what the album has to offer. Again & again, the lyrics themselves are a happy message, the singer sounds happy, but the tune and melody are rather sad, and the song itself leaves you almost sad, but at the same time happy. The Fact of the depression is another great track which shows you that there are more then just sad, happy, and peaceful songs, as the song itself makes you feel as if something bad has happened, or as if you just received horrible news.
Over all the music does a great job adding to the show, and is great to just listen too.
The Characters:
Well, we have our Main character, Tsukasa, and the secondary main character, Isla. Tsukasa felt relatable, in the sense you could feel what he was feeling, or at least understand why he was feeling the way he was. He also is rather a cheery person which only adds to the inevitable sad ending.
Isla is an interesting character, while at first look Isla comes off cold, her character becomes more and more lovable as the anime goes on, she herself changes, and we later learn why she is the way she is, which makes her character relatable, if not at least understandable.
Then we have the main supporting cast. Michiru, Zack, Kazuki, and Constance.
Michiru is kind of a Tsundere in the sense she gives Tsukasa a hard time about everything, often insulting him, but is shown to have a soft side with her friends.
Zack, is Michiru's Marksmen at the terminal service, and likes to lightly tease Michiru, and Tsukasa.
Kazuki plays a rather important role, as does Michiru, but there is not really much to say about either without spoiling. Kazuki gives everyone a rough time, especially Tsukasa, as she cares for Isla greatly.
Constance is Kazuki's Marksmen, and is a rather reserved person, and he tends to be the best one with giving advice, from what we see.
Overall:
Well, The show does a good job at making most characters relate-able, or at least understandable, which makes them more connectable.
The story is well thought out, and very well executed.
The Characters were enjoyable, and the story left me wanting more, but satisfied at the same time. I recommend this anime to anyone.
