Great episode for the final of the series. What a star way of his death! I was impressed at the last words of Zheng's father. Xin got invaluable advice from Wang Yi. Probably Wang Yi himself became a general that way.

Can't wait for 2nd season.

That was amazing. Didn't think I'd enjoy this in the beginning, but the 2nd half completely changed my perspective. "Manly Tears" have been shed. I salute you, Wang Yi.

Ditto.His death deserved manly tears. Great episode. Had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Can't wait to soo Xin grow older and stronger. I think I have a permanent dislike of that Zhao general now though. I hope he gets decapitated -_-.
Woot!

Horrible animation and a very rough start, but otherwise an extremely solid and enjoyable anime. Looking forward to season 2, now let's hope it manages to maintain the quality Kingdom had during its second half.

Also, tears f*cking everywhere.

That was one of the best Anime I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't remember last time, when I cried watching the Anime... Damn, I can't remember last time when I cried at all... I'm really glad that I decided to watch it.

Also... I almost died from laughter when they show Bi's drawing :D

Overall, this show was a really fun ride. It had some "meh"ish first episodes and the CGI is still crap, but the latter episodes were just pure awesomeness!

Wang Yi inspired amazing loyalty through this battle, and entirely justified! Even his horse was magnificent. His parting words were wonderful and I love that he Xin got that blade. It will be great once he's able to use it.

First I didn't know that this was the last episode of the season, damn. Second this anime has proven over and over again that in time it will become one of the greats. If this episode has shown us anything its that this series has a long way to go before it is over which is a good thing.

That's the one thing that left a bitter taste in my mouth. With all the emotional build up that went into Liao's story, my heart really broke for Wang Yi and I wanted so badly for him to kill that bastard in her name. He died a true warrior's death, nonetheless. And with his blade, he also passed his will onto Xin, so the moment I'll be awaiting the most for the second season will be(hopefully) Xin finishing the job and ending that inhuman bastard.

And his death, one of the most memorable anime deaths I've seen. I about lost it when Teng dug his fingers into his hand till he bled.

Epic ending, bt kind of sad when Wang Qi die. I love to see Xin to end that inhuman bastard. D, if Xin is faster then the arrow won't hit Wang Qi back, then he will not be distracted and get hit by Pang Nuan

Damn such a good ass ending. Thats how you do a death sequence. I can't wait for season 2 and the first episode should be a plot twist if its like the manga.


I wonder if Li Mu will die like he did in real history if so it's pretty pathetic. lol

A good show is good when it has good story and characters but not the awesome "ANIMATION" , that is my opinion.

I feel bad for the people that dropped this just because of the animation. It was a very good watch and it depicted war better than any other anime I've seen so far. The only reason I'm giving it 8/10 instead of 9/10 is because Xin leading 300 men, while still wearing the same clothes he wore as a servant really annoys me. He bought the armor and then never used it.

Excited for season 2.

I'm glad I invested my time into watching this show. The first half of the show was somewhat unbearable but as it went along it got better and better. Perhaps it was because there was less of Xin and more of the generals/tactics. The ending was well done, even though it left a bitter taste with me. Overall 9/10 -- it was great.

Oop he's riding a true general's horse ^^

General Meng is a boss, more like total boss.
The speech at the 13:00-15:00 mark was touching. MAN TEARS WERE SHED.

..........................


Well, my overall impressions of this series is alright I guess. I thought I would like it more though but I guess historical genres don't click with me too well. Qing is my favorite character from the series. (spinoff when?) but some of the others were a bit dull including the MC.

Soundtrack is pretty epic though and I enjoy the OP song as well. I wonder if Season 2's Op song will top it...

Anyways, overall 6/10.

Long live Wang Yi!

Epic show. I agree about the CG not being fantastic, would have been better normally animated, but it didn't take away from how epic it ended up being. About to start catching up on season 2 now!

Wang Qi is one of my favourite characters in anything, what a legend. Shame he died. :(

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Each episode was an adrenaline rush for me from the political intrigue and brutality at court right through the last episode where Wang Yi remained epic to the end. This is certainly one of the best I've seen so far.

As another person commented, I'm also annoyed with the fact that Xin is still wearing that blue outfit. It just looks weird after all this time has passed.

I need to see Xin get older already. D:
(or time passing like LotGH where you don't even realize how quickly time is passing until the characters start talking about past events.)

On another, epic series. I started it not expecting much - I was just in the mood for some Asian high fantasy and though watching an Asian historical one would be fine instead. Also helped that the rating is pretty good. Boy was I surprised though. After the first episode, things started to pick up fast and there was lots of good points that were hit on my enjoyment triggers.

CGI barely affected me. It was relatively well blended except a few awkward scenes here and there. I've seen worse. Only thing I hate with animation are still-frames and over-repeating (which Kingdom didn't use much of). Otherwise, no reason to drop for animation.

Overall, loved it.
On to season 2...! Ah damn, it's still airing, isn't it? D:
I'll hold on until it's done airing I guess. I don't know how I would stand weekly waiting for this series.

Great show. I marathoned the whole thing in 2 days and wow it was well worth it. The cgi didn't bother me at all. Ahhh and it's a good thing I still have season 2! I can't wait to see what happens next and see Xin's growth as a character.

Definitely a good historical type show, but the CGI is truly a huge turn off and will drive many people from watching the show. I managed to get through it and ended up just enjoying the show more w/o paying much attention to the CGI. General Wang Qi, was a boss and honestly the best character next to Qiang.

8/10.

At first I thought this show was gonna be garbage because of the CGI, and that I was only gonna watch to get to season 2. But I was strangely hooked after the first episode. This final ep was so sad, and great. Sucks that Wang yi died, I really thought he'd live, but it was cool nonetheless.

This series really did get much better as it went along. These last couple of episodes were crazily good, and Wang Qi's end was really quite sad. He will be missed.

Looking forward to seeing if S2 will hold up in quality.
