Oh shit, it's an invasion, a big one too.

A lot of marching and fighting on the battlefield again. We also got prominent characters such as Shin fighting with the troops as well. I thought they made the episode look pretty intense out there with the chariots breaking and battle cries.

Very thrilling OST used this episode too :D

What an awesome episode this was.

Qin's struggle to survive along with the nice glimpses of action and armies charging everywhere was really cool, and Sawano's OST added so much to the thrill of this. Him being a part of Kingdom's music composition really adds a major layer of intensity and hype that this season needed, especially given the arc at hand.

So far, yeah I could always be disappointed by Kingdom having some censorship or not having the best visuals on the planet, but what these 2 episodes of season 3 has done is excel even with the restrictions at hand. I've been having so much fan with these episodes, the most fun I've had with seasonals in forever (along with Tower of God and Major 2nd season 2). Excellent start, and I'm even more pumped up for what's to come.

How does Major 2nd fare against the first series? I am skeptical since Gorou is not the MC. I might pick it up since I am not finding literally anything good this season except for the sequels.

I think Major 2nd as a whole is really good, and has the potential to match the original somewhat soon. It takes the structure that the original had, but has it refreshed with a different styled cast and approach that makes the anime feel refreshing and stand out from Goro's era of Major in a way. Season 1 was good for me and the start of Season 2 looks great from what I've seen so far, and it looks great too.

The MC for this isn't OP and badass like Goro, but he's a more sympathetic main character who's more grounded and has more development per say than Goro did. He's not as cool but he's interesting for me.

Also, Kingdom truly does make my Sundays like what you kind of indicated. I can smell Anime of the Season/Year already if it can keep up the high octane atmosphere and deliver even more.

Anime of the Year in Japan maybe but Western Audience will fawn over the last season of SAO most likely.

I'll let them have SAO, whilst we can enjoy the finest of shows this year truly has to offer to ourselves, since we got to recognize what this season of the anime/the manga in general could offer.

I'm so psyched to see this anime come back after all this time! And right off the bat we're thrown into chaos with this big ole' war where they gotta fight there way out against all the different nations.

I'm so happy we have at least a couple decent animes to watch this Spring like Kingdom and Major 2nd, second season. Also surprised to see yall talking about major in this thread, guess some of us have similar tastes, lol. Kingdom is definitely the most hype for me this season! =D

Another very good episode, so far nice.

A lot of stuff went down again but its working alright, Riboku set on wiping Qin off the map, old man Saitaku managed to pull Qi back and Qin HQ in shambles trying to come up with a strat to get alive out of all of this.

Meanwhile on the field Duke and Shin out there vs GHM-sama.

Pretty mediocre, especially compared to last week. The directing? seemed a bit off and felt that they failed to dramatize certain parts like Lord Biao's entrance and meeting with Xin after the battle and even the generals' entrance near the end. Also, the animation seemed off in certain places. Not a bad episode by any means but not near perfect neither.

Animation and character design are complete diferent things, do you even know what animation means? The character designs here are not unfaithfull to the manga either.

We got a short taste of how the battles will unfold and the animation makes it all for the better, quick movements and seeing how the generals mobilize and respond to each other was great to see animated properly. The meeting at the end had me on edge.

Not much more to really add, this opinion a year ago still stands now. Duke Hyou also gave me some major hype vibes too in this episode, and it's just fascinating seeing how Qin are going to shithouse their way out of being trapped by all the other warring states, although they did manage to get Qi out of the way for now with diplomacy which gives them an outside shot at least, for more than just reducing combatants against them.

That's still a 5-nation army though how are they gonna defend themselves against that? I hope they also ask the mountain folks to fight with them. Haven't seen them in a long while though I know Xin has a bunch of them in his squad but that's different.

Such is the folly of being human. All these sacrifices and deaths for what? I'm sure modern-day China would've formed regardless without these sacrifices. I'm glad I wasn't alive during those times. I will die on my terms and have fun before that time comes.
