Episode Rankings: March Comes In Like A Lion

March Comes In Like A Lion is definitely a good anime, with stunning visuals, likable characters, and a premise that should have right up my alley, but it didn't really grab me as much as I had hoped it would. 3gatsu No Lion is split right down the middle between things I am interested in (the Kawamoto sisters, Kyouko) and things I'm not interested in (Shoji, the flashbacks), so it had me absolutely engrossed one minute and bored out of my mind the next. That bullying arc was absolute fire though, I'll give the show that. Here's my ranking of its episodes:
