Back in June 2019, the folks at Aniplex USA brought out some new anime goodness to Netflix with the arrival of both seasons of March Comes in Like a Lion. The show was done with the Japanese language and English language dub but it includes English, Spanish, Arabi, Italian, and French subtitle options.
Now, Netflix is letting folks know that after three years of having the show on the service that it’s about to depart. It’s scheduled for a May 31st, 2022 expiration, though there is always a chance of a renewal. With that in mind, we do recommend that you finish watching it if it’s in your queue before then in case there is no renewal.
The series has Akiyuki Shinbou directing it at Shaft with Nobuhiro Sugiyama as the character designer, Yasuhiro Nakura working on the art setting with Seiki Tamura as art director while Toshiki Kameyama worked on sound direction. Yukari Hashimoto is handling the music for the series.
The Japanese cast includes Nobuhiko Okamoto as Harunobu Nikaido, Kengo Kawanishi as Rei Kiriyama, Ai Kayano as Akari Kawamoto, Kana Hanazawa as Hinata Kawamoto and Misaki Kuno as Momo Kawamoto.
The opening theme song will be performed by BUMP OF CHICKEN and they’ll also be providing the ending theme song with the “Fighter” piece that they collaborated with on previously.
The eleventh volume of the manga series landed in October 2015 where its opening week numbers were at 370,000 units sold. The series from Chika Umino began back in 2007 and has won several awards over the years.
Plot concept: The protagonist is Rei, a 17-year-old shogi player. He lives by himself, does not have a family, does not go to school, and has scarcely any friends. Among his acquaintances is a family, which consists of a young woman, Akari, and two young girls, Momo and Hinata, and who also keep a numerous number of cats.
