Synopsis

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.

I want to start by saying, this is one of my favorite anime so I apologize in advance for my bias.

Story: 8

In my opinion, the story was better than in the previous seasons. It focused more on different characters and events whilst also showing quite a lot of Xin. The suspense of the whole war, individual battles, and duels kept me on the edge of my seat. Even though it might not have been entirely historically accurate, I still have to praise it for trying to incorporate real history and real people and making the romance of war even more captivating.

Characters: 9

All of ... the important characters had their chance to shine on the screen. It wasn’t all about a few characters but rather a whole bunch of them. It felt like each of these characters played a big role which made the dynamics between characters even more exciting. It also made the events seem more realistic. We also saw a lot of character development from the main characters, each fighting their own battles while also fighting together to achieve their shared goals.

Art: 8

This season was a big step-up to the previous seasons. Although art is not something I pay much attention to, it still made an impression on me. For example, the first thing I noticed was the remade armor which was more colorful and made the individual soldiers stand out. This can be sad for other things as well, generally, I would say it was more vibrant and drawn with more detail. I especially liked the faces of the characters which now had more depth in them, again adding to the realistic aspect.

Sound: 9

I can’t complain here. I think the voice acting was good and the sound effects as well. What I was pleasantly surprised by was the soundtrack. Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto are great composers. They finally gave the soundtrack something more original and memorable that I hadn’t seen in the previous seasons, where it felt kind of bland.

Enjoyment: 10

This is one of those anime where I was so immersed in the anime, I almost couldn’t stop myself from watching. I was going from one episode to the other without any parts where it slowed down, even if it was caused by the cliffhangers at the end of each episode. However, in each episode, I was always entertained and never felt like some part was meaningless and wasn’t supposed to be there.

Overall: 9

To sum up, this anime was very epic and interesting throughout the whole show. I think it had improved from the previous seasons in almost everything. The soundtrack was great. Although the animation was very good, I still think that it can be improved. Overall, a great anime but I’m a bit sad to see that it hasn’t got much attention.
