In the world of light novels and webcomics, The Beginning After The End (TBATE) has captured readers’ attention everywhere. Created by independent author Tae Ha “TurtleMe” Lee, the series seamlessly blends fantasy, action, and adventure.
After its success as a light novel, Tapas Entertainment picked up TBATE as an original series. In 2023, it reached the top three spot in Amazon’s action and adventure fantasy category, reflecting TBATE’s popularity.
The growing fanbase of the series has led many to ask when The Beginning After the End will get an anime adaptation.
We’ll discuss everything you’d want to know about TBATE, including its story, characters, status of the anime, and where readers can find it.
What is The Beginning After The End’s story?
King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability. However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power. Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of man, devoid of purpose and will.
Reincarnated into a new world filled with magic and monsters, the king has a second chance to relive his life. Correcting his past mistakes will not be his only challenge, however.
Underneath the peace and prosperity of the new world is an undercurrent threatening to destroy everything he has worked for, questioning his role and reason for being born again.
The Beginning After The End status of the anime
On October 20, 2024, during a panel at New York Comic Con, it was announced that TurtleMe’s web novel The Beginning After The End and its webcomic adaptation will be getting a television anime adaptation in 2025.
Tapas also revealed that this will be the first anime adaptation of an American web novel and webcomic.
Natsumi Fujiwara has been confirmed as the voice of Arthur Leywin, with Makoto Furukawa voicing King Grey in the series.
