| Trying to hold back the tears throughout the episode was a tough challenge |
 |
| these few episodes .... gonna tear a lot poor Hina , trying to defend her friend but she got bullied afterward , if you are not strong enough to defend that the result, you'll get bullied as well, but ofc im proud of her courage , not many can do like her , including myself , im not sure if i can do things like she does Hang in there Hina!! |
| That was simply one of the most incredible and powerful episodes I've seen so far. That was some really nasty bullying, but Hina did so well despite the expected backlash. Bravo.... |
  |
| Good episode. I want to watch more so much. There's always one thing worse than being hurt - it's watching people you love in pain. And how scared was Momo when Hina was crying, last time people cried that much was probably after the accident. She must have been terrified something bad happened again. I'm glad Momo is still her normal self, caring for her sister with so much love. |
| I know things are going to get worse from here for Hina and Rei but this was my favorite episode of San-Gatsu no Lion so far, not just because of the focus on Hina but because this episode perfectly illustrates how much Rei has grown as a person and as a man. Go back to last season and he was so wrapped up in his own neurosis that you could never see him reaching out a hand and wanting to take on responsibility for others like he did in this episode. This episode highlights the best parts of Hina and Rei as well as Shaft and the series itself, it was a perfect episode. |

| I didn't like this episode, hopefully this bullying thing will get resolved quickly so we can move on. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| nice to see that rei feels the same as me. the animation was so good when he said he wanted to hunt down the bullies and rip them limb from limb. |
| What a beautiful feels episode, the best one so far. Pleasing aesthetic animation with added melancholic bgm. How amazing this episode really is. Let's see what Rei will do to this kind of situation as someone who is also a victim of bullying. I guess he won't do anything stupid, from what he thought, that violence won't solve anything. This break my heart, but I'm glad it healed with the feelings chapter part. |
 |
| Brilliant, mesmerizing and a wonderful episode, and quite easily the best of the episode of this Season. Bullying and depression is the norm of this show, but the level of intensity, particularly the emotions, was just phenomenal in this episode. It just goes to show how much of a low-life act bullying is and how much damn care the adults give to it not only in the anime world but also the real world. Can't wait to see what next week's episode has in store for us and I'm particularly curious to know what Rei comes up with. Solid 5/5 to this episode... |

| Oh what an episode! Tears were falling everywhere and I'm talking about myself. Hina is such a wonderful character! She's so brave and has such a big heart. ohh, I just love her! Grandpa was awesome as usual. |
| Mah hart Mah sole :'( Seriously, i teared up when i read the manga chapter of this episode, but this anime really made me cry |
| This might be the best single episode I've watched this year. Everything was on point, from the soundtrack to the cinematography, this is visual narration at its best. They really did the manga justice. A powerful and moving episode. |
| I haven't cried this much from an anime in so long. It really hit me hard especially seeing both Hina and Momo crying. :( It was just so sad. I loved when Rei ran after Hina and was able to somehow console her even if for a little while. I just ship them so hard and I wish they get together in the future. Both of them deserve happiness. Now let's see what Rei will do. I hope he manages to put those bitches in their places so that they won't do this again. It's really sad that this seems to be a big issue in Japan. I sometimes wonder where is the thrill in bullying someone? Is it the sense of power over someone weak? I felt so bad for Hina's friend and that she had no other choice but to move and change schools. No one can blame her as she was driven to do this. Sadly, the adults chose to turn a blind eye despite knowing what's going on. Now Hina is all alone but thankfully she's going to finish school soon and hopefully she won't be seeing those girls again. |

But you saw the deeper meaning! |

| JESUS. i cried and cried and cried. perfect. |
| I'm almost speechless. This is probably the most emotional and excellent episode I've seen from ANY shows made this year. I knew what was coming, but for most of the episode, I was pretty much crying along with Hina, Momo and the others. The harsh pain of bullying that Hina went through felt so painful and real, that I want to comfort her and reassure her that everything is ok. :'( On a personal note, the way she was bullied was something I went through in my childhood, during secondary school. Getting targeted for being weak in my case, but I struggled to understand that reason as I was desperate to find help, but most of the students and teachers simply didn't offer much help or simply turned a blind eye, which made the situation worse. Eventually, like Hina's friend Chiho, I also transferred to a different school. So, seeing Hina striking at the bullies during the P.E lesson made me shocked at first, but I eventually smiled. I felt that she did the right thing in striking at the bullies who showed no remorse about their actions, and seeing Hina's grandpa say the same thing filled me with happiness. No one like Hina deserves to be bullied for any reason at all. So I hope that Rei can find a way to resolve Hina's case eventually, although I son't expect to be a quick one. Overall, this episode really hit home hard for me, and I'm really thankful for it too. This is drama done right, so excellent job Shaft! ^_^ |
| Fucking put this episode in the most heartwarming scenes in Anime in crunchyroll and make this drama of the year or I'll riot. |
 |
| Those bitches I wanna hurt them so bad till they can't even move a finger, I must say This was the best episode of this series by for me, I was so angry when they laughed during PE, I had a spoon in my hand I swear I bend it, and wanted to thrust it into there eyes. Two parts of this episode were the best one, one of them was when Hina run to the bridge and fall, and the other one when Rei said his whole body felt like a heart pounding. I cried so much during this episode especially because of the music and Rei's masterful narration. 10/5 |
| First I gotta start saying that the animation this ep was amazing. Loving Hina even more than ever, what a precious child. Everything was so painful but I know she will have the strenght, with the help of her family and Rei, to overcome all that. This show really knows how to mess with my feelings... |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Ma hart, mah soul... Seriously this episode is enough for me to think probably i already found my AOTS, it broke my heart more than Mitty's death in Made In Abyss from last season... I hate so much bullies, i had a small experience about it too when i was kid.. Please Rei, help this beloved girl, she doesn't deserve to get hurt :(( Gotta change my rating from 9 to 10.. |
 |
| A friend like hina would be great. This might be one of my favourite animes this season and probably the best episode. The animation is great too. What's with the teacher though? That teacher irritates me. It's nice to see the family being there for hinata. |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
| GRANDPA HAS RIGHT! YOU DID THE RIGHT THING! We (as MAL forum) proud of you! Those girls who were bulling her friend deserve some Hell Girl correspondense. |

| So this season's feels finally started, huh? This anime is just so powerful in conveying emotions, it's really amazing. It's shows like this that make me wish that anime was a more recognized medium in the west. I'd recommend this to every human being ever. |
| Such a powerful episode, such intense emotions Absolutely amazing visuals and character animation |
| the anime is doing an amazing job with this arc but god is it even more frustrating it just really sucks seeing bullying in general but in manga and anime its really goes x10 mainly because the way things happens and and such is just wow but yeah another great ep looking forward to the rest an looking forward to seeing certain parts animated |
| "one step at a time" |
| Shaft being Shaft.....Animation/Art/Voice Acting/Music was on point!!! Best Episode so far this season |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| Fantastic episode, impressive animation too. Interested in seeing what the solution can be. |
 |
| This is truly 3-gatsu no Lion at its best. This was a really powerful moment in the manga, and the anime did a good job in making it feel even more impactful. 5/5 |
 |
That teacher was a bitch. She didn't even try to help. Writiing it off as a harmless joke, bitch what if she decided to kill herself after all that? WOULD IT BE A HARMLESS JOKE THEN? Phew, this episode got me triggered. Though great episode. |

| Fight Hina, Fight ! :'( Great episode, not only for Hina's emotions but also for Rei's ones. Shaft make a great job ! |
| MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS |
| This episode was a masterpiece. I have no other words to describe it. |
 |
| Amazing episode, I really love the scene when Rei chased after Hina and the part where he talked about wanting to rip apart the people who bullied her. The illustrations there where done amazingly. Really love how the narrative changed into Hina in the middle of the ep. it was great. Just such a great ep. Man I'm expecting so much of this show now and it always goes far and beyond my expectations. |
| everything about this episode was amazing ; - ; They adapted these few chapters SO WELL! Amazing job, Shaft TT^TT Seeing the absolutely beautiful, sublime animation, especially in the third part of this episode, makes me so eager to see the rest of the arc's adaptation. but not only that, the music made the entire thing even more amazing. And to see where Rei is now from where he was in the beginning? I'm absolutely stunned. They're doing this series so much justice. The feelings we feel are just so, so real and my heart aches from it TT^TT |
 |
| This episode was one of the best period, everything worked, the art direction and pacing was so on point, the episode just hit all the right notes on an emotional level constantly giving me these jarring shifts between heartbreaking and uplifting, I think it also single handily made hina who i thought was kind of the weakest of the 3 sisters by far my favorite in the span of only 20 minutes. Her attacking the bully in particular was something that totally through me off guard and really sold her as a more human character than before. The way they handled bullying too could of easily gotten melodramatic but they pulled it off so spectacularly that everything hit hard and it started to really remind me of past experiences ive dealt with and seen other sdeal with. I was actually pushing back tears a bit when the grandpa congratulated hina for what she did as it flashed all the news articles of suicides, it really just hit like a truck for me there cause its so common that these people who need just anyone showing kindness to them are often overlooked and their lives are tragically cut short. That final scene was seriously the best scene in the show, just the simple choice of near dialogless scene of the family sitting around eating back by some of the most fluid and natural animation in the seires, this type of animation is really one of the most impressive but it often gets overlooked due to a lack of flashiness, but that section was seriously so movie quality in how much movement and fluidness there was in every aspect of it in addition to just how many cuts it had. Bumping my score up to a 9/10, i really try to portion my 9's out to be rare but this series has earned it AvidAnimeViewer said: im fine with that, maybe it'll bump my score to a 10Seeing a lot of comments about how "hurt" everyone got. Well, you gotta lot more hurt coming your way. For like, over half the season. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| It's been almost half an hour since I finished this episode, and I'm STILL crying. |
| Its sad seeing the normally positive and happy Hina cry though. So Hina was bullied because she stood by the girl that was being bullied by the rest of the class then. Man those bullies really are taking things way to far though. Plus the teachers are so uncaring towards the situation. Given that her childhood friend was forced to change schools because of the bullies and because Hina couldn't do anything no wonder she's so upset. Its nice seeing Hina stick by her beliefs even at this point. But its sweet hearing Rei's words for Hina though. Its a nice contrast seeing Hina read about sweets while Rei reads about plants and bugs. Seeing Hina like that Rei's thoughts are natural. Such an emotional episode but Hina was right to stand up for her friend though. |

| This is one wonderful full of feels episode! So many cryin'! Gramps is so proud of Hina! Rei kneeling in front of Hina and reacher her hand was a very beautiful scene. Hina is truly a lifesaver to Rei! - Seems like confessed to Hina in the most elegant way huh! 5/5! wow! 96.05% loved the episode! that's rare! |
 |
| Powerful. I particularly liked Hinata's tearful declaration, it takes courage to remain headstrong after all that. Although, even the strongest of people occasionally need to rely on others. At least Hinata is not lacking in that regard. |
| Watched Yuuki Yuuna right before this. Hmmm, 40 minutes of weepy Kana... The way they built the situation was a tad too cliche maybe? The antagonists were stereotypes. Not a big problem, but I expect a bit more from such a great franchise. Grandpa should have kept shut. Unfortunately I was one of the grey guys back in school. |
