This anime adaptation of Yoshiki Tanaka’s manga gained a lot of popularity soon after its release. This was followed by a season 2 that premiered on Jand went on till August 21, 2016. ‘Arslan Senki’ season 1 released on Apand came to an end on September 27, 2015. Like most anime shows, ‘Arslan Senki’ is flawed in many ways but if you’re a sucker for war based adventures and enjoy plots that are slowly built over time, then you will absolutely love it.Īrslan Senki Season 3 Release Date: When will it premiere? But those who want better comedy and are no big fans of violence might decide to give up on it after the first few episodes. For me, the depth in its plot and main characters were enough to make it really enjoyable. Overall, ‘Arslan Senki’ has a lot to do with one’s perspective and what one expects out of an anime. There are a few instances where magic comes into the picture but the main focus is on the war and that’s what makes it unique. Though the anime is labeled as a fantasy, there aren’t too many elements that others of the same genre have in them.

Even the world build up is extraordinary and clearly, a lot has gone into structuring the architectural designs of the Kingdom of Arslan. There are some issues with the pacing of the story and it comes off as a bit too fast at times but it never reaches a point where it disturbs the main premise. These subplots then combine and add more value to the whole overarching storyline. The best thing about the anime is that it divides its story into these various sub-plots that are covered in each episode. An anime like this one should never shy away from violence because that’s the only way to get the message across, which ‘Arslan Senki’ does really well. Various social issues involving religion, slavery, and equality are touched upon and all of these themes are expressed with the use of extreme bloodshed and violence.

From the pilot episode itself, the anime starts to build upon its main character, Arslan.
