...The Beginning After the End doesn't shine particularly well, nor does it differ too much from the many isekai that arrive each season. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jeremy Looney Common Sense Media Apr 8
This anime is a mild and enjoyable watch. The Beginning After the End is typical in the isekai genre, but the characters are wholesome and likable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

MB C @MB.Cinema Jun 30 Based on a rich and introspective manhwa, The Beginning After the End had all the ingredients to become a standout in the fantasy anime genre: a reincarnated king seeking redemption, a world of magic and beasts, and themes of humility, growth, and second chances. However, Season 1 suffers from lackluster animation, flat direction, and a reliance on internal monologue over dynamic storytelling. While Arthur’s personal journey remains compelling and emotionally grounded, poor pacing, weak character development for supporting roles, and visually uninspired battles weigh down the overall experience. A promising concept let down by its production — but there's still hope for Season 2...... See more Yohannes Y @RT17476406 Apr 17 What have they done to my boy Arthur 😭😭😭 See more Read all reviews
