Synopsis

A year after the devastating battle against the formidable Zhao, the State of Qin has returned its focus to pursuing King Ying Zheng's ambition of conquering the other six states and unifying China. Their next target is Wei, a smaller state which stands as a geographic stepping stone for the sake of conquest.

Xin, now a three hundred man commander of the swiftly rising Fei Xin Unit, continues to seek out lofty achievements in order to garner recognition for himself and his soldiers, motivated by those previously lost in battle. In the preliminary battles ahead of Qin's invasion of Wei, Xin finds competition in other young commanders who are of a higher social status than him. Back in Qin, the royal palace faces turmoil as opposing factions begin to make their move against Ying Zheng's regime.

With their hands full both abroad and at home, Zheng and Xin must lead the way in this era of unending war, resolved to etch their names in history by creating a unified China.

Kingdom season 2, old but gold? It is hard to tell. There are a lot of welcome surprises after the first season, but it is still not quite the show most of us would love to see.

That being said, lets delve a bit deeper into the good/bad things about this series.

The good: a very interesting story that feels very unique and is just an enjoyable watch overall. The characters are also very well written, with some (minor) exceptions. On that note however I do want to talk a little bit about Xin, because at the moment he still feels a bit lacking as ...

Kingdom 2nd Season (Dub) Review

Story (6/10) Fair
More Specifically (6.75/10) Fair+

Majority of the story that was being adapted from the manga stayed intact, but sadly since once again this is being adapted by probably my most hated animation studio, Studio Perriot they can't do a manga justice 9 times out of 10 they never do. Just like the first season certain smaller but still important arcs were either rushed or skipped over. And to add insult to injury Studio Perriot had the audacity to add filler to series with a already has a ridiculous amount of canon source materiel to be adapted anyway. Non-canon flashback filler ...

Season one was promising. Sure, Xin was a dumb kid that survived just by brute force, assassin girl was just aloof and overpowered because edgy magic, the mountain tribe were just the most powerful guys in the country but nobody knew them etc, but factions like the other king of Qin or Zhao were fleshed out and the Big Battle was great. So many tactics, charismatic leaders and thrilling outsmartings. They actually lived and died for their strategies.

This second season, and the third, just leans gradually more and more to the worst parts of this show. See, this is supposed to be about strategy and ...
