The show is doomed but still would watch it and support it because of the source.

I can absolutley agree to that. I'll do the same and if i can blend out the novel and manwha while watching the anime, i might even decently enjoy it. I just don't have to think about all the ruined potential...

I doubt its just the 2 episodes that got outsourced. The production is a mess. The CG looks awful!! I bet, them outsourcing is what gave it the quality it has now. Not ugly, but not good too!!

Y’all can’t enjoy nothing, I enjoyed episode 1. Idk what everyone is crying about. Not everything has to have insane animation to be good. Just try to enjoy it, it’s not that deep. Hopefully if this season does good, other seasons will have the budget for a better animation.

I get what your saying but I hate when studios drop an anime just to drop something. Not even trying to compete for any rewards or be creative/unique just another anime. For Tbate source material and hype it gained online this anime is going to be complete flop and never should have been cleared. I don’t even understand how Studio A-Cat won the bid a studio that has never produced an anime above a 7 rating.

If enough people support the show with it’s decent animation (decent because I’ve seen bad and that’s not bad at all.) there will still be hope for future seasons to have what’s missing. Besides, a lot of people praise Tbate’s story, So as long as the animation isn’t below decent I think the show will still be good if people stop complaining and try enjoying what they praised so much.

@Oongbuh, can't believe this is going to be my first post, but you are 1000% right. I have watched a lot of garbage over the years that I "Enjoyed," but still frames and shaking screen effects are not acceptable for even what I would call B-grade animation. I'm still going to watch because I can stomach this type of abuse, (Seven Deadly Frames), but that does not mean the watchers as a whole group deserve this level of disrespect.

🤣🤣🤣 maybe you people shouldn't have whined about the animation. I mean if I was the studio I would do the same thing, if you people aren't enjoying the (actually pretty good) "bAd ANimAtiOn" then you'll enjoy the Chinese animation.

Hoenstly, none of that really matters anyways, it wouldn't have been much better even if it wasn't outsourced. Surprisingly it's actually a pretty good adaption so far outside of the poor animation, and the art looks good enough, the biggest issue was the lack of motion this episode for the fight scenes.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

@IlITsukiIlI i agree 100% it doesnt need some crazy animation like solo leveling, sao, dan da dan, etc. But it needs to be animated its a fucking slide show dude its better to listen to the audio book or read the comic, and the art for the slide show "anime" is way worse than the comic. Its a disgrace, and youre fucking delusional if you think this is ever gonna get a 2nd season the fans in the discord are calling for the show to be out right canceld and scraped which i agree with.

@IlITsukiIlI there is no animation its all stills. This is one of the top 5 worst animated shows ever. Im a huge fan of the series and i can 100% say the story is mid all the way up to war arc, its a generic ass copy paste power fantasy. There will be no 2nd season, i hope there is no 3rd episode.

@IlITsukiIlI The fight scenes are completely static. It is distracting for those who like action anime. You can't ignore it. Fine if you don't mind it, but many people who don't know the source material story will see this animation and skip this show for others with a much better presentation. This show is just not going to sell as much, and so, the animation for future seasons, if there are any, which is a legitimate question at this point, won't likely have the budget to improve. Of course, Season 1 of Kingdom had awful animation, and it improved significantly for subsequent seasons. However, Kingdom was made by Studio Pierrot. By comparison, Studio A-CAT, the studio making The Beginning After the End, has very little to it's name and not a single show that demonstrates that they can turn this around. We can still hope, but I won't hold my breath.

@deepndy I understand you. Animation has the potential to elevate a story. Some said elsewhere that it isn't too bad, and that it may get better. I used Kingdom in my response: Bad animation for the first season, but it improved significantly after that. The difference here is that Kingdom was made by Studio Pierrot, while TBATE is being made by Studio A-CAT, which has no record of producing anything close to a high quality show. I heard from a YouTuber that the author himself picked the animation studio. That statement likely lacks context. The author likely picked the studio between some limited choices, and of course, the budget is also a factor here. Many manhwas that I have seen animated seem to have been at least a few steps below the high profile shows in terms of animation quality. I can't tell you whose fault that is, but most high profile Japanese studios are quite busy, and there is also whether the ones putting the money for these shows consider manhwas to be reliable source material for high profile shows. It may be time for South Koreans to invest more heavily on animation so that they can animate Korean manhwas and add to the animation industry. I think Japanese animation could benefit from some competition.

@deepndy Actually, there is precedent for studio changes in anime. I think someone said 2 cours though. I don't know how that would work though. If true, we may need to wait for the 2 cours to air first, as the current studio would likely have some work on the second cour.

I do like the opening song though.

So then why didn't the americans animate tbate if its american property? Why they have to leave that novel and webcomic to the Japanese( It's way cheaper that way, huh? Then it's deserved). Also I think South Korea is starting to invest in their anime adaptations - Gosu, The Boxer, The world after the fall and other I cant remember rn.

@BlindSwordmaster Why are you quoting me and replying with a non-sensical answer? As far as I know, the author may be American, but he published with a South Korean manhwa publisher, so the South Korean publisher would have the rights. Therefore, no one left TBATE "to the Japanese", as you wrote. The country of the animation studio does not matter. What matters is quality. Some Japanese studios produce quality content, and some do not. It is simple. The people with the rights to choose chose A-CAT for reasons unknown (not like they are going to tell us), but if I had to guess, the decision was to use the Japanese anime to promote the manhwa, not to sell us the anime version. Anime used to be more like this in the past, but now that Japanese mangas are more popular outside of Japan and there is more investment, it makes more sense to make more anime meant to cover the whole manga/light novel with high quality.

As for the cost, Japanese productions do not disclose their costs publicly, so we don't know the actual cost. If you are suggesting people choose Japanese studios in general because they are cheaper, then you better show us some evidence. CDProjektRed chose Studio Trigger to make CyberPunk: Edgerunners for them. Are you trying to suggest that CDProjektRed did this to save money?

The only South Korean animation I remember seeing is Lookism. MyAnimeList has Lookism, but I am not sure to which extent it covers South Korean animations. Do you have any alternatives for databases?

people complaining knew very well how "Decent" this would be based on the trailers and sneak peeks.
If a show cant even provide scenes that can be marketed to attract its consumers, its beyond any hopes that it'll be "Decent"

Also, ep1 looked "decent" as there were just scenes of him pooping and farting.
