NwoknU in Arslan Senki (TV): Fuujin Ranbu

Very good and well thought out but I wish it didn’t end on a cliff hanger. Hopefully the series continues

Shiyanora

Like I mentioned in my comment in the first season, I also really hope that there will be a next/last season someday. This is my absolute fav anime and without a continuation there would always be something missing in my life, honestly. I NEED to see more and also the end of this. I know, there’s also the novel and the manga but for me this is something completely different.

NwoknU

have you seen kingdom?

Shiyanora

No, I haven’t seen that one yet but I heard of it. Would you recommend? Btw, it’s not that I’m especially into historical anime or something, however, they definitely can be awesome when made well.

NwoknU

Hmm well, it has really nice historical aspects in my opinion but I watched Kingdom first and then Arslan senki and found that they were similar. Personally it’s in my top 3 favorite anime but you may not like the CGI in season 1. I’m not sure how you feel about CGI but season 2 and 3 get much better but it is an on-going anime but I guess because of COVID it got stopped. I just love everything about it.

Shiyanora

I don’t think I would like the visuals more than in Arslan Senki but it does not look bad so I will definitely give it a try :) Thanks for the recommendation!

Have you seen Akatsuki no Yona? I would say it’s less historical and it definitely is different to Arslan Senki but they still share a lot of parallels as well. If you like these kingdoms & princes/princesses stories in general, you should give it a try.

It’s on my planned to watch list

There’s the manga of it you can read. Sometimes manga is better than the adapted anime too. If you’re worrying about the fact that you won’t enjoy manga too much then trust me you’ll love reading manga more than watching anime. My opinion could be off too considering different people’s perspectives.

Shiyanora

I know that there’s a manga and also a novel, that’s what the anime is based on. I even own some of the manga volumes. And yeah I like reading manga but no, I do not enjoy reading manga more than watching anime. That’s why I said that I definitely need the anime sequel. And apart from that, I don’t think that the manga is finished either since that’s the main reason why the anime doesn’t get a new season, afaik. Of course, I will read the manga and maybe even the novel someday. But I do always wait with reading a manga of a good anime because I do not want to get spoilered. For me, it’s much more exciting to see new scenes in anime than reading them in manga. I’m just that type.
