Years ago I was (among other things) an avid gamer playing Age of Empires II, and I am currently salivating at the sight of the gameplay trailers for the new Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord (and planning to build a new computer to play it). I also used to play Civilization V and VI. I mean, I really like battles between massive ancient armies, especially if the armies have one thousand or more warriors and different formations and war strategies, etc, are used. I also like to watch how great empires are created and how they unify and conquer territories. In other words, I am just a huge lover of massive epic battles and great empires - I am actually part of the target audience for this particular anime series. Plus, I also like 1v1 battles between charismatic generals, and I also really like shonen anime series... Need I say any more? I do not think so. The first season of Kingdom had me under its spell, the second season was even better, and the third season seems like it is going to blow both of the previous two seasons out of the water... It has a lot of shortcomings, and some of them fade with time (like the animation keeps getting better from season to season). Some people (like Subjektiv) perhaps do not like this kind of rewriting history. Am I interested in that? No! I just want to watch more fantastic epic battles and the protagonist's journey to fulfill their dreams, no matter how idealistic. I found this anime series a real treat. 9/10.
