Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of the Kingdom series, I am thrilled about the upcoming release of Kingdom: Daishougun no Kikan. The teaser trailer looks incredible, and I can't wait to see the epic battles and political intrigue that the film will bring. I'm also excited to see the return of the main cast members, who have all done an amazing job in the previous films.
I think that the Kingdom series has a lot to offer Gen Z fans. The story is full of action, adventure, and drama, and it explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and courage. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the world-building is immersive and believable. I highly recommend the Kingdom series to any Gen Z fan looking for a great anime to watch.
