Kingdom—the anime—is amazing.
I just finished watching Season 5 after binging the series for about two weeks. I'm so happy that I finally watched it after having it in my watchlist for a while.
Nearly every character with a name has a role to play. They’re not overlooked despite how many characters there are. And the female characters are fun and well written. It's also one of the first anime I've seen in a long time that shows the tensions of warfare outside of the battlefield through non-combatant characters, like the tacticians and the kings. It's like watching Game of Thrones without the overly explicit content.
The series is a political drama that's based on the Warring States Period of China. It tells a fictionalized account of the unification of China that was headed by Qin Shi Huang (Zheng Ying or Ei Sei in the anime), who would become the first emperor of China.
If you like historical-fiction, I highly recommend you watch Kingdom!
