@Darion_Phoenix if you don't mind the somewhat bad cgi of season 1 then it only get's better as the seasons go on.

@Darion_Phoenix Before i read the manga back when s1 was airing the cgi did the same for me at least in the first few eps but for me the story made me not care after a few eps. That said the easy answer is just to read the manga its superior in everyway even still although i have enjoyed the anime as well from the get.

Also its one of the best selling manga of all time if youre curious as to why it would get new seasons and are on the 4th live action movie regardless

I'm glad you all gave me a nudge to watch this. Just finished season 1, and what a roller-coaster ride the story is. I won't spoil the story here, But the one who dies at the end had a great story arc. I thought I wouldn't like him at the start but he grows on you. I still couldn't give the season more than a 7 due to the bad CGI but if it had better animation it could of been a 8 or 9. Anyway on to season 2 :)

Kingdom's anime is trash but may have to watch to see Kanki the goat.

@Syrian187 I didn't know this had a live action movie. I just looked up the 1st one and the trailer sold me on it. I currently watching all the Fist of the North Star shows as well as all the dragon ball moves I missed, but when I'm done I'm going to give Kingdom another go.

I should give this show another try if it's made it to 5 seasons. The 1st season put me off and I couldn't finish it. But does it really get better in season 2 and beyond?
