| that was fucking amazing I missed this |
 |
| That was better than expected! The coalition army arc is one of the best written arcs in the history of manga, I hope this adaptation will do it justice |
| I haven't even watch the first episode - as this is A COMPLETE SHOCK to me, I literally just found out by pure chance - but I am so incredibly happy and amazed that this anime got a 3rd season!!! Even though it's well deserved after the success of the live-action and manga, I didn't expect this at all! *flashback to after S2 desperately praying for this and then gave up and read the manga* And the fact that the story is up to THIS ARC!!!! Wow. The best possible surprise during this worldwide meltdown that I could ask for! ^o^ |

| Amazing episode and amazing start.And improved animation |
| BRAWLERS |
| Anyone else sad the character designs changed? I watched all of seasons 1 and 2 a couple weeks ago so it was really jarring for me. For the most part everyone looks better, but Meng Tian isn't as cute anymore (RIP). |
| Sounds like the third season is turning out pretty good. Happy to hear that. There's no way I can watch this show 1 episode at a time though. With the first two seasons I ended up watching them in like 4-5 days. So I'm waiting until the full season is out or at least the vast majority of it is and then I'll binge it. |

| Okay, somehow, this exceeded my expectations, this was a bloody amazing start. Any fears of art and CG was pretty much quickly set to rest in the first 5 mins, this looks like it'll be fully 2d drawn character art throughout. Story wise and tone they introduced everything at the right time and kept the pacing well, i genuinely have not felt this excited when watching anime in a long time. I still have a few minor qualms like girls having lipstick but i can get over it, also WHERE THE HELL IS KYOUKAI!? |

| I have been excited for this Season since I found out about it a month ago or so! I am on board with everyone else's compliments of it so far! I have not read the manga, so I don't know what to expect. That all said, the first episode for this looks pretty hopeless for our protags, which has me pumped! |
| oh wow they just picked up were they left... I don't remember who those guys are anymore |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
TheFreycook said: Looks better then expected but Im so used to their other names in the manga that it physically hurts to watch this adaptation, but if it ends up actually adapting the arc really well I'll probably come back and watch it What I can suggest is that you could torrent the Erai-raws version for Kingdom Season 3's episodes when they release instead. Since they are using the Japanese names for characters instead of the other names that are normally used in the anime, so it does somewhat help (especially since I read the manga too). For example, this screenshot:  |

For example, this screenshot: That's fair, but also I heard there's a pretty good amount of censoring and that really turns me off from it too because like half of the enjoyment is just seeing these giant god-like men flattening and slicing everybody around them lol |

Dr4kon said: I really enjoyed watching S1 and S2, and maybe it was just that I was younger then, but to me this first episode was utterly ridiculous. They rushed through everything with completely nonsensical tactics. Like a defensive position only noticing the huge army when it was 100m away. Said huge army penetrating deep into enemy lines, passing by castles without taking them: a huge mistake and suicide for your army. Oh, and of course the (infantry) army moving from castle A to castle B and completely taking over castle B. All in less time than it takes a cavalry to cross the same distance. Not to mention all those soldiers should be dead tired from marching, attacking a fortified position, marching, attacking a fortified position, and marching yet again. Also completely rushing past how an army could take a fortified position that fast without huge losses. Oh, and of course people at the top of a country forgetting major events that happened only 40 years prior (yay exposition time). I understand that this show gets lots of love because of manga readers. And though I can't judge on that, the anime adaptation can't even be called mediocre.

Seriously based on 1 episode I have read the manga it happens the same way there this anime is way better than mediocre also one episode is not enough to judge anything. |

Dr4kon said: kingdommoutenfan said: Seriously based on 1 episode I have read the manga it happens the same way there this anime is way better than mediocre also one episode is not enough to judge anything. Wow, easy on the Quote button there. Then again, part of my first sentence was "this first episode was utterly ridiculous." I.e. I'm judging this one episode. Nowhere do I say S3 is shit or anything like it. So yes, 1 episode is enough to judge something. It is enough to judge that episode. Which was ridiculous. Pressed it twice by accident that is just the way this part of the story started in the manga so there is nothing ridiculous about it also fiction does not have to be at all realistic when it comes to things like this. |

Dr4kon said: It's like that in the manga, so it's not ridiculous? What kind of an argument is that? So if an anime follows a manga _exactly_, then no matter how ridiculous the manga, the anime still wouldn't be? And sure, a piece of fiction does not need to be realistic. It does need to be consistent and try not to break suspension of disbelief. And if a show about wars, armies and soldiers ignores all military strategy to just do whatever to set up a plot, it is just bad writing. What I am saying is there is nothing wrong with how it is set up at all. |

| Good adaptation for a new studio , the names are still puzzling tho |
 yikes |

| I came back and rewatched the episode after dropping and Ive come to the final conclusion that Kingdom could be drawn hastily on a bar napkin and I would still love it, so it coming in a pretty well done show, at least so far, I can definitely live with that. Especially with my favorite arc being adapted |

| FFS i barely remember all the details but my boi xin has grown up well, and now shit has hit the fan. 1v6 time to pull out your guns. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Well....Qin is utterly screwed. |
 |
| They butchered Ka Ryo Ten's face with this new animation omg. Plot is looking good though! |
 |
| Rewatching the first 4 episodes, just to get back into that Kingdom mood since the anime is finally returning after a 1 year hiatus due to COVID and TV-scheduling delays. First episode was really good. Slightly fast but even with a couple parts skipped, still coherent and still exciting to watch as a whole. Visuals aren't perfect and I do wish for more blood in a show like this but at least the content is thrilling so far with all the warring countries joining forces to take down Qin once and for all through the mastermind that is Riboku. Seeing Qin try to get out of this large ass mess in the Coalition arc is going to be so damn entertaining to watch. The premiere isn't perfect but it did a great job as a premiere of building my hype levels for the rest of the episodes while introducing the arc well enough to understand clearly. Sawano/Yamamoto combo for the music too, which should be great to listen to with the large-scale battles that Kingdom have constantly. |
| wow the animation got crazy jump. the OST finally is more than fine lol. but i feel the OST is lowered, and the pace was little too fast. never the less, kingdom story never failed me so far. |
| holy shit qin is in big trouble how are they gonna fend off 6 nations so this is the start of the greatest war arc in kingdom finna binge it all like the other seasons also hope qiang comes back soon and joins up with the fei xin force the art and animation look amazing this season and the osts are really good aswell |
 |
| I would be lying if I didn't say that this episode gave me chills down to my spine. I could feel the terror from the invasions as if I was there in person. The soundtrack which made the shocking news of the invasion even more terrifying. This episode was just brilliant, it's just perfectly adapted or even better than the manga. A coalition army is on the way to hit the center of Qin. Numerous castles have already fallen and their army is scattered all over the place. There's no way they could defend against 300-400k soldiers but I'm so excited for this season. The animation improved by a landmark. The action sequences are for the first time very smooth and 2D which was a surprise for me. The op and ed are pretty good. edit: I was a little bit too hyped, never expected kingdom to have this level of production. But, the pacing is FAST (3 chapters), skipped some minor scenes and some moments feel dumb as hell. Aside from that, it's great. |

| What a first episode! Qin being invaded by the other six nations, over half a million men advancing on Xianyang |
 |
| Man look at the graphics. Look at the character artstyle. Look at the animation. Look at the lack of cgi lol. And look at Qin under attack by the other 6 states. Goddamn what a way to start the season. |

| Woah real glow up in the CGI animation after 2 longs but interesting seasons ! |
