Where it came from
Kingdom, an animated series produced by Studio Pierrot, premiered in 2012 as an adaptation of the acclaimed manga series by Yasuhisa Hara. The narrative is set during the Warring States period of ancient China, following the journey of Xin, a war orphan who aspires to become a great general under the banner of the young King Ying Zheng. The production was intended to translate Hara's expansive historical epic into a serialized television format, focusing on themes of ambition, military strategy, and political consolidation.
The visual direction for the series initially utilized a distinctive blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery to depict the large-scale battlefield sequences characteristic of the source material. While the reliance on early 3D models for crowd scenes was a subject of critical discussion upon its release, the adaptation was largely lauded for its faithfulness to the original manga's intense emotional stakes and the depth of its historical reimagining. Over time, the series has been recognized as a pivotal entry in the historical war genre within anime, maintaining a steady following due to the strength of its strategic storytelling.
