Kingdom Season 3

About Kingdom Season 3

If you are hunting for a new action series, Kingdom Season 3 (キングダム 第3シリーズ) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. The setup: Following the successful Sanyou campaign, the Qin army, including 1,000-Man Commander Xin, inches ever closer to fulfilling King Ying Zheng's dream of unifying China. With a major geographical foothold in the state of Wei now under its control, Qin sets its sights eastward toward the remaining warring states.

Next up: Meanwhile Li Mu—an unparalleled strategist and the newly appointed prime minister of the state of Zhao—has taken advantage of Zhao's temporary truce with Qin to negotiate with the other states without interruption. Seemingly without warning, Ying Zheng receives news that armies from the states of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi have crossed into Qin territory. Realizing too late the purpose behind Li Mu's truce with Qin, Zheng quickly gathers his advisors to devise a plan to address the six-state coalition army on their doorstep.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Masaya Takatsuka as Narrator and Jun Fukuyama as Zheng Ying. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 26 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
