Kingdom 5th Season

To the people who, wondering if they should watch it or not.
This anime is probably one of the greatest anime out there, that is probably least spoken about. I have never seen anime that great, that didn't get a spotlight on it. I can easily say, this anime dominated Winter 2024 season and it's not even close to compare them to any of those TOP ranked anime's this season.
I have watched hundreds of anime and can easily say Kingdom is one of my favourite anime of all time. I have seen people talking about Anime was bad adaptation of manga, but at the ... same time look at how Naruto started, One Piece and all of those great anime all started poorly in terms of visuals. Fun thing, is that it's only half of season 1 that was bad in visuals, but it had amazing story. Season two has already improved visuals and as always amazing story and great character development. After season 2, visuals in season 3, 4 and 5 are on point.
To conclude:
Highly recommend watching this anime and you won't be disappointed. Force yourself watching it through season 1 and eventually you will feel in love with this anime. It has amazing story, character development and I can guarantee it worth watching it. I don't think there is any War anime that can be comparable to Kingdom. I watch all of them and can easily say this is one of the greatest anime and most underrated anime of all time.

This anime is probably as real as it get's, when it comes to actual history. Use of different war tactics, diplomacy, strategies, different land marks, equipment makes it even more real and accurate, when it comes the story.

I suggest this anime if you're into strategic thinking, meticulous planning, and captivating characters, I highly recommend this anime. It's a compelling watch for those who appreciate the art of strategy and enjoy unraveling intricate plots. With its focus on clever tactics and the thrill of outmaneuvering opponents, this series keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Each episode is a masterclass in cunning schemes and calculated moves, guaranteed to satisfy fans of the genre. So, if you're looking for an anime that will challenge your intellect and keep you on the edge of your seat, this is definitely one to add to your watchlist.

A masterpiece in the most literal way. It deserves 10x more attention than it receives, and for some reason I don't understand why it's not hyped more.

This is a review for overall all of Kingdom up to S5. S1 has that nasty cgi that can put you off, but that is for half of the season only, and then it gets much better. Story is already fantastic, S2 has a lot less of the cgi and the story gets better and better. S3 might be one of the best season in anime that I have watched, it is simply astonishing in magnitude, character development, it ... plays with your feelings and keeps you on the edge. One of the best arcs in anime that I have ever seen.

S4 and S5 are also packed with drama and fights, and maybe not as good as 3, but they are amazing in their own, everything develops, characters grow. S4 has a fantastic duel of words between Ryo Shi and Ei Sei where the king has such a winning speech that brought tears to my eyes, it moved me deeply. I never imagined that a duel of words could be so good.

I've made this review long it seems, but if you ever have a chance to watch Kingdom, go for it, it deserves so much more love and hype. I watched 140 episodes in a week off, and I can't wait for more honestly.
