Story 10/10 - The story of this season is more about Qin than any other country the way that the story has played out so far is absolutely incredible. It is a story that no one could predict and one that gives you goosebumps every time something occurs. It is still of course a war story but the story and anime has already given a lot of character development to a lot of side characters. The story is also a very enjoyable one that gets you excited every time somethings new happens.
Art 9/10 - The art unlike Season 1 and 2 is incredible this
...
time with the beautiful close range shots of the characters and also the fantastic long range shots of the armies and the nature. It is even better than the Season 3 animation with the new characters designs and art. The animation and art has so far been pretty consistent and I hope they keep up with this up.
Sound 9/10 - The soundtrack in this season is wonderful, however it does not live up to the season 3 soundtrack and I don't think any other season will. This does not mean that the sounds or the soundtrack is bad, just that the other seasons soundtrack is a bit better. The sounds fit really well within each scene and the music shows what is trying to be portrayed, whether it be comedy, action or tense scenes. The one thing about Kingdom that I absolutely love is the fact that in some scenes, there is no sound. It is just a dialogue between them that is not destroyed by terrible music and I think this really brings out the good in the dialogues and really amplifies the message.
Characters 10/10 - The characters in Kingdom are without a doubt in my mind the key part of the Kingdom series. We see these characters every time, and every time we see them, some things have changed and developed. Lets take Sei Kyou for an example. In the previous seasons we see Sei Kyou as a bitter and greedy man with no thought for others, however in this season we see Sei Kyou's other sides thanks to his Wife and his old companion (forgot his name). Each and every single one of these characters are extremely human and we can all see a bit of us in every one of these characters. The main characters in Kingdom are also all very likable. Because of the nature of the anime and the characters that have been established during its run, character interactions and relationships are frequently skillfully handled. However, this is not always the case, since in other cases, things were delivered to the audience fairly abruptly, making the entire scene appear odd. Some of the characters' behaviors occasionally clash with their own principles and personalities such as Sei Kyou, but the overall experience was enjoyable. This clashing of principles and personalities is in my eyes a very positive thing that can lead to good character development. The villain of this season is a villain that we have not paid much attention too throughout the series and that finally has made his move. Ryo Fui is a extremly well written character which we do not know a lot about despite the fact that he is an amazing merchant who aims to take over the throne. He's a very sly character with the most ambition I've seen in a character. The characters' spectrum of emotions is better conveyed: we sense their desperation and drive, anguish and delight, wrath and remorse. Characters like Sei Kyou, who looked hollow or clichéd in previous seasons, are given more depth and expressiveness, with a few exceptions.
Enjoyment 10/10 - There's not a lot to say about this, I am really enjoying this anime and hope that they don't mess it up. The enjoyment of this season is a bit less than Season 3 so far, however I have high hopes.
Overall 10/10 - This is a great season that I recommend everyone to watch because I have a feeling this will become one of the better seasons. This is an amazing anime that I has the most potential out of all the animes out right now.
