Story
Great. Better. So much better than the first two seasons. It isn't common for an anime to grow that much from season to season but Kingdom surely did choose a great arc to come back with. Like Li Mu promised, Xin still didn't know the hell of war and here we are now.
It truley feels like a seinen now and not like a shounen which, when I look back makes sense in a way, that Xin was naive to think war is a play to earn some title but can be cruel for the people dying and loosing everything.
After Xin fights Wan Ji the Zhao General, I rooted for Zhao. I could understand where he came from and what he was fighting for. To think this is historical accurate gives me goosebumbs and makes me really, really upset. I loved how Xin had second thoughts but got it together after Diao confronted Wan Ji for not doing a big difference and here we come to characters...
Characters
The most, great character improvement we can see in Diao (even though there is still something that bothers me big time with her) and Xin. Xin grows out of his "being the great general" like the typical shounen sterotype to the wish of ending the neverending 500 years of war. This is truly admirable and links Xin more to Zheng than before.
Li Mu has also a great improvement. He doesn't stand still and fights Qin with all his might. Yes, this is historical accurate and that is why characters aren't too shallow. Li Mu is a great Character and I won't refere to him as an Antagonist, because in his story, Qin is the devil.
Overall
I really enjoy this season far more than the other two. The great animation does the story justice (finally!!!).
