The anime community is buzzing with excitement, as one of the most anticipated isekai series is set to make its debut in 2025. The Beginning After the End arguably ranks among the most popular Korean manhwa, boasting a massive following that has eagerly awaited adaptation news for years.
Following the immense success of Solo Leveling and Tower of God, the Korean manhwa series has sparked significant buzz online and now The Beginning After the End is poised to break multiple records and elevate Korean manhwas to global fame. The exact release date is still unconfirmed, though the official account is expected to reveal it a few months before the premiere.
Besides the thrilling trailer and The Beginning After the End’s release window, the production team remains secretive about the anime, keeping fans anticipating. Unfortunately, manhwa readers shouldn’t get their hopes up too much, as the studio behind The Beginning After the End has a poor reputation that could jeopardize the adaptation fans have eagerly awaited for years.
Why The Beginning After the End is Already Facing a Rocky Road Before Its Adaptation Debut
The Beginning After the End follows the story of King Grey. Similar to any isekai anime, King Grey gets reborn as Arthur Leywin, on the magical continent of Dicathen, a completely new world for our main protagonist to explore.
Despite being reborn as a baby, he retains the wisdom of his previous life. As he grows older, he masters magic and carves his own path, determined to right the wrongs of his past. Besides the thrilling trailer, the panel has also confirmed that the series will be directed under Keitaro Motonaga and Studio A-Cat.
The studio involved in the project does not have an impressive track record, leaving many loyal fans worried and concerned about the adaptation. Many fans expressed that the studio is only known for its flops and doesn’t have any noteworthy projects to its name.
On top of that, none of the studio’s past projects have garnered over 7 rating on MyAnimeList, leaving the TBATE fandom extremely anxious about its debut.

TBATE shares similarities with the recent hit isekai anime Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, where both protagonists are incredibly gifted with mana and magic abilities.
While Mushoku Tensei features a perverted and humorous protagonist for comedic effect, TBATE takes a different approach by presenting a more mature and skilled lead, shaped by the wisdom of his past life as a king.
