Well, this is my first review and i really wish that this can help everybody.

I think that Sangatsu are such a amazing anime, the story is pretty solid and well directed. When i started to watch, soon on the first episodes, my concern was that the dark and heavy tone that the story takes sometimes would stand out too much, being honest i see as something necessary and real, once the personality of some characters goes to this, but at the same time perhaps the present weight could be more controlled, this tone which makes the second part less enjoyable in comparison to the first ... half nevertheless not less brilliant.

The characters are great, Rei makes you get care about him and cheer for his growth and happiness, the Kawamoto sisters are so endearing and lovely, Nikaido and the other shogi players are good and interesting too, even the unlikeable and tempestuous Kyoko gets my sympathy and comprehension on the lasts episodes that she appeared (i really think that even when she lashes out, in the end she just needs love, support, and someone that wants to understand and guide her) and last but not least the cats... are so funny, every single moment that they are showed up are quite fun, they should had more time on screen (the best ones in my humble opinion =D)

Overall, this first part of history was very strong in all senses, and the anime made me more knowledgeable about shogi and shows that he can be fun too.

Recommend without reservations, and i look forward for the next season.
