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 spoilersFirst 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!

Every so often you come across an Anime that is so Good you do not want to stop watching, Maybe one or two a Year, sometimes none at all. This 3rd Season of Kingdom is definitely one of those, it is even better than the 2 previous ones. All the Characters have a chance to shine in this, especially the Generals who are portrayed as twice the size of normal soldiers. Depending which Country you come from there is no good or bad sides, even the opposite characters are given their special moments. The Tactical parts of this War were exceptional, brilliant minds pitted against each other, trying tobring down the opposition. He Liao Diao ( Ten ) is becoming one who will be great in the future, she is also looking more Feminine after hiding her Sexuality from those closest to her, for obvious reasons. Kingdom is not afraid of Killing people off if the storyline needs it, Generals you may expect will survive do not always, so when it does happen it can be quite a shock. As i watched this over 2 Days i felt the impact more than watching weekly, you may prefer one or the other. Lastly they could have actually finished this in 24 episodes, the last 2 felt like specials. Lei Qiang did not appear till these last 2 eps and these explain why and where she was, then shows her returning to Xin's party. I thought the previous Seasons were Great but this goes one better and is recommended for people who like Historical Anime.
