Anime 12113 Berserk Ougon Jidai-hen Ii - Doldrey Kouryaku Userrecs

This movie and season are comparable in the fact that both have a similar setting, that being a desertic landscape, the battle for a fortress, as well as the fight between our protagonist and an enemy's general (Guts vs Bosconge - Shin vs Hou Ken, and the other generals he fought this season). Both shows are characterized by strong female characters (Casca - Kyou Kai and Karyou Ten) and an inspiring leader, Ei Sei being the king of Qin who joins the coalition war in person at the city of Sai in the third season, and Griffith who is the leader of the Band of Hawk and wants his own kingdom (he also participates, like the previous character, in close combat). On the visual department Kingdom Season 3 doesn't match up to Studio 4°C's Berserk adaptation, despite it looking better than the last seasons of the show. Both use CG on the battles, Kingdom uses less of it on close-ups of characters and more on long-shots to allow all the battlefield landscape to be seen at once, while Berserk does both but arguably looks better (remember, movie budget). Berserk is also more explicit and tackles more mature elements in its story while Kingdom, despite its demography being that of a Seinen, has more anime tropes and gets considerably toned down compared to the manga (unlike Berserk). In any case, if you liked what Kingdom had to offer but wanted a more mature theme exploration check out Berserk, don't forget that despite being a medieval drama more fantastical elements get to happen in the story. If it's the other way around people recommend reading the manga of Kingdom first instead of the anime, I wouldn't know how true this statement is, having not read it myself, but I do have to say it's way harder to get into considering the amount of terminology and the large cast of characters since at times it also looks and feels very dull imo but I digress. Worth checking out if you're curious about how the medium of anime handles a war-like plot.
