Good and major effort. Do you want to hear any crits?

Very good, you were trying to make an anime right?

Well I wanted to create umm...something. I wasn't aiming to any style, but I guess anime is closest to it. It's Anime Studio after all ;D

Also, I'm a bit curious Parker, what if I wanted to make anime?

Well, I assume you're following anime convention here, but I suggest maybe you could masculinize the king more. He appears androgynous, almost like a woman or child disguised as a man. Just small tweaks would help, such as: thicker eyebrows, thinner eyes and smaller pupils, wider nose and wider jaw.

Also the horizon line is often in the wrong place. Objects should hang on the same vertical point on the horizon. For example, at 0:16, if the horizon cuts at the eye level of 2 foreground characters, then all of the soldiers' eyes should too (unless the 2 characters are standing on an elevated ridge, but this isn't made clear in an earlier shot). (Also where are those robed people before this shot?)

This is a long video; I can appreciate the amount of time you put into it. Just some thoughts to consider for your next project.

Good luck!
