what do you expect out of a 6 - minute music video ? good music and some good visuals . well this went beyond that . the animation , the visuals were very exquisite yet elegant . it was like a short movie . the name of the music video - fighter suits very well as kiriyama is fighting with his dark past/memories . in the end of the video it felt like i had travelled a beautiful journey . watching this right after completing both the seasons makes me very emotional , the video is like a small bomb jam-packed with emotions . and when it hits you , you realise how beautiful this anime was .

3-gatsu no lion and Bump of Chicken came together and made a music video, how was it? Awesome.
STORY: 7/10
How about we start with story, of course since it's a 5 minute long music video there isn't much story there. However, during that 5 minutes they managed to show many scenes from the anime itself and implement them into the music video such as there being many familiar faces in the train.
ART: 9/10
The art was new and familiar to the anime at the same time. With it using the anime as a basis, this less detailed art style of 3-gatsu no lion was a great choice for a music video like this. With them managing to make the art more simple but still really beautiful at the same time.
SOUND: 10/10
The singing of the music video to me, was fabulous. Bump of Chicken did an incredible job…

A fine collaboration between Bump of Chicken and Sangatsu no Lion’s story. The art was tremendously good, i couldn’t expect any less from the author’s style and how accurately it always describes the feels of it. The sadness within Rei’s heart and how the three sisters’ house was a safe place for him to be and finally rest at ease were very well portrayed during the animation, being complemented by the sound’s intensity and the beautiful lyrics.
The song’s meaning, vocals and even the own name, “Fighter” summed up almost perfectly what Rei’s personality is and what he has gone through. A great addition to the anime as an opening.
I hope we see more of this duo in the next seasons!
