First full episode is up today exclusively on Youtube

It featured an OP song, showed what life is as a kid and his family. There was also a brief glimpse of him as an adult in this too.

You can tell Arthur truly cherishes his family and they have good chemistry together. It's only the first episode so they have plenty of time to develop the world (which has the presence of magic in it). The episode ended with a heartwarming moment together between him and his family. ED song sounded kinda so-so though.

I am in shock at just how bad everything about this show is. I can't think of a show that has been worse in a very long time. Especially not a show with such high PTW. I don't understand how they let this go through instead of delaying it to a different season and fixing it.

Purely watched because of the premiere, if I'm being completely honest. I remember thinking this might be fun when it was first announced but then seeing the PV and realising what kind of the usual-isekai-story it'd turn out to be, I lost interest. Can't say this reignited that just yet and given the mediocre quality, I'm not too sure just yet. It's always nice to see some appreciation for the roles of a parent though, that was unexpectedly warm.

Parallels to Mushoku Tensei? I kept seeing this in the chat during the premiere which is pretty accurate, I suppose. Will this manage to hold up like the other did will be the million dollar question here...

Not sure about the Op just yet. Quickly had a google search while the Op was going on and it seems interesting that a Filipino rock group is in charge and the creator being ethnically Korean makes this quite the international project, eh? ED seems pretty decent though.

So Arthur's past world is a sci-fi one or y'know really advance civ. Whilst he got reincarnated in a Fantasy one! It's interesting to see how is he going to tackle this world once he grow up.

I would rather have my work not animated at all than see it completely butchered. TurtleMe really fumbled this one. The Beginning After the End is one of the better isekai web novels, yet it couldn’t even get a mediocre adaptation of the usual isekai slop—let alone something on the level of Mushoku Tensei. The first episode is already a slideshow, and there’s no way it’s somehow going to get better.

But I will still watch it because I like the web novel, and it’s always my pleasure to see TBATE fans meltdown. I always disliked them for marketing this as a better Mushoku Tensei. That was annoying, but I still like the web novel for this. It’s not bad.

The story structure is a lot better than the LN, in my opinion, and definitely a lot better than I expected. I like that we get to see more of Arthur's past life instead of jumping straight into the funny isekai fantasy world.
The animation could be better, but it isn't as bad as a lot of people are saying. It's just as bad as any generic isekai. TBATE deserved a lot more than this but I don't see why so many people are crying over it like it killed their grandma and ate their dog.

i didn't wanted to complain after the last trailer but yes, ep 1 was mid

hoping for more, it's not just the animation, the voices was not bringing something on the table...

it's the intro, so I hope that they found a good balance...

@BatrachianBill lol

sometimes just act with emotions so they prefer to criticise instead of analysing...

we have seen worse than that but it is not peak like it was supposed to be...

What the f was this disaster? The animation, voice acting, and the changes to the beginning - all GARBAGE. Is it too much to ask to just stick to the manhwa!!?
A disappointing way to ruin one of my favorite manhwas. DROPPED. Just cancel it before they make things worse. RIP

They need to stop giving manwhas to these no name ass studios to adapt

This literally has the better story and mc than mushuko tensei too and its not even a fucking isekai.

Darv kingdom for dwarves, Elenoir kingdom for elves, and Sapin kingdom for...humans, of course. anyways, it seems like a beginning of generic low quality isekai show with a former king who used sword in a high tech world where there are bombing airplanes, for some reason. dishing out baby poops in the first ep wasn't helping that much either. OP and ED weren't that impressive. 5/10 for now, likely to drop in the next ep i guess

The similarities to Mushoku Tensei are pretty apparent and in comparison the presentation and overall first impression is unfortunately way weaker.
The biggest difference is the backstory aka how he lived before he died, so I'm still interested in which direction it goes from here.


But I have a bad feeling about future action/fight sequences. What was shown in this first episode doesn't give me big hope. It was rather underwhelming.

Seems good so far.

It's kind of like Jobless Reincarnate, but if the character had autism.

Will be interesting to follow, and also wonder if the show will always have the internal monologue from the MC.

The story is pretty interesting—looking forward to seeing how it progresses!

Arthur had no one to care for or cherish in his past life, nor did anyone cherish him. But in this new world, he has loving parents and will meet people who truly value him. Of course, there will also be those who rise up as threats to him and his loved ones.

I’m excited to see how this unfolds!

Tbh, it’s the author to blame as he got given options of studios and directors and picked this studio and Director.

He said he picked this studio and Director because the director read TBATE before the anime was even announced.

as a fan of tbate (and Mushoku Tensei too) i genuinely hope this "adaptation" does poorly overall and doesn't receive anymore seasons.

I am so furious with the animation. The series deserve so much better. I agree that it should never have been picked up by a studio that is so bad with animation... The level is 2007.... As I have already read the manwha, I love the story and progress. But the episode itselve was meh. It got the best parts, but again. Animation ruins it all...
Life is too short for looking at the past. Enjoy your 'now' and just prepare a bit for the future~

what i liked:
- ost was good
- op music
- background art
- arthur mom a baddie
- good storytelling direction

what i didn't like:
- constant panning with still frames (75% of the episode)
- character designs
- opening and ed visuals

i actually like the direction they took with the ed, was nice. shows how far they're planning to adapt tho, so idk if it'll be rushed

I haven't read the manga but the way they explain the first episode, its very good and I understood each and every thing they want me to understand. For last few months I really wanted to watch a anime where MC start from his childhood surrounded by his careing parents( and neither one is death nor they are poor ) simple, cute, happy family. I really like the cute babay Aurthur and could able to understand why he couldn't able to understand some human emotions in his new life. Now I understand why "The Beginning after End" is so popular.

Didn't find it, idk why. I'm actually Very sad, about the Animation. But The Opening Song is a Banger!!!! I just loved it. It sounds Fresh. The ending is somewhat Alright I guess.


Being both an Invincible and TBATE fan is kinda tough, but Invincible delivers during epic moments. I hope Tbate will too. These shows deserve more.

Edit: It's Decent. I didn't hate it. It's WATCHABLE. And I Just Hope, they Saved Budget for the Most important Fight scenes.
🤞 I think it's getting a Lot of Hate for No reason.
The animation, yes it's a Complaint but it's just a New studio. A few years later, this'll use this experience in a better adaptation.
This is the way How Most Anime Studio starts, when everything is NEW.

When I watched this episode on YouTube, I heard everybody was calling this episode trash

Now, I'm not saying this was a great episode XD but it didn't feel like the worst thing in the world. I did notice the panning shots though. It's interesting it has as many members on it that it does, but meh.

Usually the first episode of a new anime has the best animation in the season, so im scared to see what a full on action episode is gonna look like :P ( not that there is much action in the first season of tbate) but yeah Tbate is gonna become know as generic isekai slop of the season nr 33539343.
