Kingdom 3rd Season

Following the successful Sanyou campaign, the Qin army, including 1,000-Man Commander Xin, inches ever closer to fulfilling King Ying Zheng's dream of unifying China. With a major geographical foothold in the state of Wei now under its control, Qin sets its sights eastward toward the remaining warring states.

Meanwhile Li Mu—an unparalleled strategist and the newly appointed prime minister of the state of Zhao—has taken advantage of Zhao's temporary truce with Qin to negotiate with the other states without interruption. Seemingly without warning, Ying Zheng receives news that armies from the states of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi have crossed into Qin territory. Realizing too late the purpose behind Li Mu's truce with Qin, Zheng quickly gathers his advisors to devise a plan to address the six-state coalition army on their doorstep. For the first time in history, the state of Qin faces complete destruction and must use every resource and strategy at their disposal to prevent themselves from being wiped off the map.

KINGDOM is back as a 3rd season, with its 'SPINE CHILLING' moments! (You feel the same, right!)

[Li Mu] has returned with his [coalition army] with the neighbor nations to attack [Qin]. The season is focused on this war, and how (if) Qin fight this war when it's at such a huge disadvantage! ----- What will happen to XIN's goal of becoming the greatest general? I've watched all the 26 episodes and enjoyed every bit of it.



*NOTE : The review contains spoilers



... First Things First :
- The art is just the same, and I didn't notice any change in animation quality.
- I like XIN as a protagonist from season 1. He is just as reckless as ever, and kind, and 'Baka'.
- The ED song is just so Epic with its animation!
- Forget about story. It's about war, and I like watching Brutes! That said, the role of strategist is significant, and most characters here are so cool!


The first half of the season focuses on the war at [Hangu-Pass], when [Li Mu] attacks [Qin] with his newly formed ['Coalition army'] with the neighbor nations (can't remember their names). [Qin] is at a serious disadvantage now that even one of the most recognized ['greatest general' Wang Yi] has gone. [Hangu-Pass] has never been conquered before, but the enemy this time is [Li Mu] and with that serious disadvantage in number how will [Qin] defend their kingdom (forget the attacking part)?


HIGHLIGHTS of this season :
- XIN's recklessness.
- XIN supports BIAO GONG's troops.
- XIN slays one of the enemy general.
- BIAO GONG and his conversation with XIN.
- XIN's just great!
- ZHENG (the king) is here!
- The Civilians played a great role!
- The 'Miracle' that saved the war.
- XIN vs PANG NUAN !
- QIAN LEI is free now!


The first half was really great, but the second half has been the most spine chilling (especially recklessness of XIN), each episode, especially after the death of BIAO GONG, how XIN and his allies along with the new unexpected comrades saved the losing war. XIN's duel with PANG NUAN was just amazing!

The comment section has been fun as well, although there was not much activity.

I wish to see season 4 with the same amazingness.

So Excited!


Thank You!

Preliminary (4/26 eps)

This is far from a 9 or 10

English isn't my mother language btw

Kingdom is by far my favorite manga and series, the coalization arc (wich is being adapted in this season) is the fan favorite of almost everyone who read the manga. WE KNOW THE STORY IS GOOD, WE KNOW THE CHARACTERS ARE AWESOME, BUT.

If Kingdom is going to be adapted to anime, they NEED to get a decent studio, at least an A1-Studios or (my dream) Wit Studio, they have experience doing big animes and Wit knows how to work better with seinen (at least in my view), this adaptadtion OF COURSE is ... 100x better than the S1 and S2 ones, but the Coalization arc still "rushed", the beginning of this arc need (in my opinion) to be a slow passed thing with NO SCENES CHOPPED from the manga.

I mean, Kingdom was one of the top 3 best selling mangas of 2019 (only above One Piece and KNY of course), it is impossible that they don't have the money and "public" to do this. Zhao West Invasion had more sellings than Shingeki no Kyojin and even Hero Academia at some point.

IM GIVING (5) TO THE ART ONLY BECAUSE THEY CHANGED TOU FACE (if you read the manga you know who im talking about, i don't know chinese shit)

IS THIS THE CURSE OF ALL BIG SEINEN? BERSERK ARE YOU THERE BRO?

Preliminary (10/26 eps)

I have stomached my way to Episode 13 and I have to say, it's better than the previous seasons. But this is just a fundamentally flawed anime.

There is little to no suspense...we know the Qin win, we know ALL the Qin characters are effectively deities that can overcome any obstacle because all the interesting characters from other nations get little to no development and they all lose for absurd reasons anyway so... and the main character is essentially Naruto.

The action is great at times, but everything is a repeat. Antagonists do some brilliant action that hurts the "good guys," ... they seem to be winning, good guys ascend and become gods where they are invincible, can overcome any odds, literally nothing but divine lighting can stop them and they stop the antagonist because they are all immortal. Rinse and repeat. This is NOT fun or entertaining, or at least, it's not for anyone who has more than a few brain cells. I'm writing my review now because it is clear that this season is using the same formula as all the previous seasons. It is a real pity because this could have been SOOOO much more instead of the Michael Bay performance we got instead.
