It's back and imo, looks better than ever. The new OP song looks fabulous too for this new season.

Looks like every major country and their leaders gained new reputation or roles. The one to pay attention to most imo is Shin for his all his efforts in the previous season. Good start to build into rest of the season. And plus, it's interesting to see most of the relevant cast return again.

Aah here comes my favourite manga of all times with its 4th season. I think I'm gonna re-read it because I feel like I've forgotten much of it.

RIP Meng Ao, you were a great grandpa <3

Here’s hoping they keep the quality this high and consistent for yet another season. If they swing two in a row, especially with the Conspiracy and Fire Dragon arcs coming up, this will be absolutely stellar.

Great to see that last season wasn't just a fluke xD

I guess this season will cover 3 arcs, provided it's double cour again. I wouldn't mind to be proven wrong, cause it would mean more Kanki screen time :P It's gonna be dope either way, even Conspiracy in the Court has a few moments I'm really looking forward to.

Great episode, I'd say both visually and direction-wise this is better than anything that the third season has put out. The Mou Gou backstory hit me as hard as it did in the manga. Hopefully this season is going to be as good as this in the later episodes.

Ah, its good to back, i was initially concerned when i first saw the OP cause there was a lot of still images and not a lot of animation but its good to see the actual episode is more consistent with what we saw of s3 so hopefully the OP is updated later on.

Coalition arc is probably peak Kingdom but my mind has mostly blanked out from this arc aside from the major plot points, so looking forward to refreshing my memory.

I can't believe I watching the 4th season of Kingdom, I am just so excited to see what is next to Shin and company.

This season is going to be 25 to 26 long just like the 3rd one?

The quality of the animation is clearly better than last season, which is a good thing. I think they can speed up the adaptation of chapters.

Also, the person who lied to Lei Qiang about how she got pregnant was her older sister. She was in the manga but was not mentioned in the anime.

Great episode, good to have Kingdom back.

Looks like this season will take a step back from huge wars, and focus more on Qin's internal struggle as Sei tries to unite the entire state under him and kick off Ryofui the Chancellor.

Internal Unrest!? Looks like we'll get to see more on internal affairs, and not much of battle.

Finally Qiang Lei has found and stated her new goals & I'm a bit surprised by her 2nd goal lol. I'm excited and looking forward to Xin and Qiang Lei's relationship in the future.

Goodbye, Meng Ao. Still remember his actions in the 2nd season.

While Ei Sei has become a father, the internal conflict between him and Lu Buwei is still continue and I think it is getting heated. Can't wait to see how Ei Sei resolves this conflict.

It was a pretty good episode. The OP scared me a bit with the lack of animation, but the episode itself was fine. We have gone a far way since the animation of first season. This was more of a build-up episode, but there were some great segments in it, especially Qiang Lei telling us all how babies are born. This will be the first season of Kingdom that I will be watching weekly instead of binging due to the dub of season 3 being nowhere in sight, and I hope that doesn't make it less enjoyable, as the binges of the first three seasons over the years have been fantastic. Let's see if Kingdom can still retain the same hype on a weekly basis.

I plan on watching season 3 soon, but since I'm up to date with the manga I decided to pick up the anime as it airs and Pierrot is doing a decent job so far. I've seen clips of the coalition and it wasn't that bad even though it's censored and not the best either. Still better than most of what is airing this season and the 3 arcs adapted are all enjoyable. Should be a great season if it keeps this level of production.

OP & ED were meh, static pictures with credits. Maybe full OP and ED coming or low budget who knows.

Annoyed that Crunchyroll uses Chinese names in subtitles with Japanese dub names. The unofficial manga English translation ditched the Chinese names ages ago.

Don't need actually. If animation stays constant like season 3, that's more than enough.

Finally getting to see this episode with the Japanese names used from where I saw this and it was a pretty good episode. The opening visuals were a little underwhelming though and while I like the songs for that and the ED, even the ED visuals felt bland with the foreshadowing and didn't have that unique factor that the previous ED had from Season 3. This episode was animated fine but the opening and ending sequences really lacked any quality efforts of animation going into it so that was kind of disappointing.

The episode itself had tons of stuff going on from Kyou Kai's goals, to the passing of Mou Gou, to Ei Sei having his first kid and then you have chaos at the court with an internal, political conflict of power between Ei Sei and Ryo Fui after the events with the Coalition arc. Pacing could have been a little better but it did a good enough job at getting me excited again for a new season of Kingdom and it would be refreshing seeing politics at the forefront compared to how battle-heavy the previous season was.

I'm up for some political warfare, raping and burning people is all crazy and stuff but nothing is more shameless than political sabotage and backstabbing. The worse thing in life.

A lot of different perspectives in a single episode. Starting off with the Hi Shin Unit and Kyou Kai, still going strong on the battlefields and their casual moments are still as great as before. Kyou Kai grew stronger and got bigger plans after her revenge. One of it is making a baby with Shin, her reaction was priceless. Afterwards, it got a little bit heavier. General Mou Gou is on Death's bed and told a old tale about his life till his last breathe while Mou Bou was sharing a drink from the other side. The other countries are in distress with their political might which is in shackles after losing the war. Same goes for the state that won, Chin. Forgot to mention that Sei's child arrived and Shin questioning if it was the recairnation of Mou Bou got me on the ground. Oh yeah, Ou sen and Kan Ki are still battling and I loved how it showed how different they are from each other. One of them will let the enemy surrender and take them as their own soldiers and the other one murders the SHIT out of them XD.

A good first episode.

Funny how I was just saying in the previous episode aka the last episode of the previous season, that Kyoukai essentially has no reason to come back cause she's achieved her goal and now she has 2 new goals lol.

I like the new OP, and I also spot a new pretty girl. I wonder who she is.
Qiang Lei wants Xin's babies. What a lucky bastard! I wonder if Diao is jealous deep inside. I'm really glad she's back. I need to see more waifus in this show.

Great to see Kingdom continuing!
Qiang Lei's new ambitions of also being apart of the Six Great Generals along with Xin (and wanting his children, lucky indeed).
The fallout from Li Mu's failed coalition, internal strife in every nation, we might see a certain merchant's faction finally dealt with.

Really missed this anime, and it took me long enough to start this season.

qiang-li asking shin to have his baby. lol, greatest moment yet xDD

this episode was a lot of setting the plot for the next season. well, except for the death of mang-o.
and its seems the plot going to revolve more into the internal politic rather than war. which is something i was waiting for since season 2. is zhen finally going to use the fact that lu-buwy is with his mother?
but it seems this all political affairs gonna blow up, as we sees zheng's brother return. (can't remember his name lol)

felt the opening was a little bit underwhelming.
