  The Beginning of the End—of my patience, sanity, and goodwill.

  This review contains spoilers.

  **〈 𝗧𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿... 〉**

  ---

  Those of you who know me—who have read, followed, or, God forbid, enjoyed my awful ramblings over the years—are likely familiar with my usual shtick, where I kick things off with a laid-back, half-relevant anecdote or a rambling setup before diving deep into a show's pros and cons. Well, truth be told, I cannot be fucking arsed to do it in this case—not for this mess. I am genuinely too tired, too incensed, and frankly too goddamn disgusted by this shameless, godless adaptation of a seemingly beloved web novel to humour the idea of some quirky, roundabout preamble or a silly little segue.

  It has been a long while since I came across an anime so aggressively, shamelessly devoid of any merit—**one that not only shits the bed at every conceivable level and opportunity but seems hell-bent on spitting in your face as it does so**. And yet, at the start of April, *The Beginning after the End* swooped in like the winner of "*The Biggest Dickhead Around*" competition and managed to piss me off within minutes. Not episodes—**minutes**. From the opening scene alone, I could already tell that I was about to witness a colossal fuck-up, and, sure enough, it delivered. It really does fucking blow, and not in the "*ah, well, this is kinda rough around the edges and mid*" sort of way, but in the "*this should have never been allowed to exist in this state*" kind of way, which surely goes against the Geneva Conventions.

  Now, I know what you want. You want me to drag the nasty, ghastly visuals through the mud, beat them with a pipe, and chuck their remains in the bin—and believe me, I will. Nevertheless, before I give that one a go, I have to get something out of the way first because it is extremely easy to laugh, rant, and meme our way through disasters such as this one, but it does raise a few questions and eyebrows. **We, as viewers, as fans, as people who want to spend their free time on a hobby they love, are allowed to be angry when we are robbed of good shows.** No, we are not owed masterpieces. No, art does not exist to suck up to our sensibilities or contort itself to please every flavour of viewer under the sun. **That said, standards, effort, and respect for both the material and the audience still matter, and somewhere along the line that respect got shat on**. TBATE is not just another failed adaptation that at least seemed to have tried—it is a soulless, cynical, insincere, half-assed, creatively bankrupt, and barren pile of slop being peddled under the pretence of giving the viewers what they have always wanted no matter the cost or lack of quality, while actively exploiting and capitalising on the name, the hype surrounding the title, and the loyalty of fans who deserved much better than this. Bear in mind, none of this is to say you should take your anger and disappointment out on the animators or the rest of the staff involved in the production. It is not their fault, and so I do not want you to direct your outrage at these overworked folks. The only entity that deserves a visceral, fury-laden beatdown and scolding is the finished product because the people working themselves to the bone behind the scenes do not deserve your contempt. **They deserve better, and so do we, for this is not just a shitty adaptation**. It is a cruel joke. It is a heartless cash grab. It is a festering, fly-infested, parasite-ridden carcass of an anime, and I refuse to sit here and call it "*just another bad title, oh well*" because it is far, **far worse than that**.

  

  *sigh*

  I can no longer ignore the giant, sickly elephant sitting dead-centre in the fucking room. Yes, you have seen them, I have seen them, and your nan has probably seen them as well, but I am not sure we are collectively appalled enough by the visuals' hideousness. This is not [Uzumaki](https://anilist.co/anime/111314/Uzumaki/), which, at the very least, managed to cough up a single half-decent episode before completely imploding; this is not [Berserk 2016](https://anilist.co/anime/21560/Berserk-2016/)/[2017](https://anilist.co/anime/97643/Berserk-2/), whose grotesque CGI, 360 spins, and awful South-Park-like animation made it a generational comedy masterpiece; this is not one of those charmingly shitpost-worthy OVAs from a bygone era like [Mars of Destruction](https://anilist.co/anime/413/Mars-of-Destruction/), [Skelter+Heaven](https://anilist.co/anime/3287/Tenkuu-Danzai-Skelter-Heaven/), [Garzey's Wings](https://anilist.co/anime/1657/Tales-of-Byston-Well-Garzeys-Wing/), which you can gleefully binge while blackout drunk with your mates; and, certainly, this is not [EX-ARM](https://anilist.co/anime/106503/EXARM/), which is in a league of its own when it comes to unintentional hilarity. **No, *The Beginning after the End* is on an entirely different level of garbage**. Though you may not agree with me, it might be, and I say this with dead-serious conviction, the ugliest anime I have ever laid my poor, brown eyes on. Say what you will about other awful series, but most of them, no matter how inept, cursed, or ridiculous, elicit some sort of reaction—whether it be laughter, disbelief, morbid fascination, or alcohol-induced excitement. **But TBATE does not inspire mockery, provoke outrage, or anything in between—it merely leaves you feeling empty, insulted, and physically unwell**. There is this palpable, almost brutish absence of fucks given in every single episode and scene, and not because of corner-cutting or time constraints but rather a complete lack of passion that makes me want to vomit my intestines out.

  I absolutely despise the gross, greasy, and gnarly art style this show proudly parades around like some kind of badge of honour—as if it wanted to announce to the whole wide world, "*Yes, I do look this bad on purpose*." Think of the most generic-looking, personality-deprived anime you have ever come across, and now imagine a version of that, but stripped bare of all residual charm, covered in the most plasticky, puke-hued paint imaginable, generated by makeshift algorithms, or lifted straight from some poor chap's shitty DeviantArt projects. **That is *The Beginning After the End* in a nutshell.** It does not stop there, as the entire screen is caked in this cheap, oily glow that makes every single scene look over-illuminated to the point where it is hard not to go blind during the many daytime scenes. Of course, it is not just one or two aspects that falter here, **as every single visual component from colours to linework to composition is irrefutably, irredeemably atrocious**. The colour palette, for one, is a full-on, gruesome assault on your retina. Every hue radiates this unnatural, oversaturated, rubbery artificiality that instantly butchers whatever immersion or interest you might have had. The grass looks like it is made of bootleg LEGO, rocks resemble crayon drawings, trees feel like malformed broccoli, and architecture appears to be made up of LED lights. And that is the thing that annoys me so much about them—colours should elevate everything else by adding vibrancy and atmosphere to every location. **Here, they are just loud, abrasive, and alienating**. They remind you that this is not a labour of love but heartlessly manufactured, disposable junk. The background art is equally horrible. Where most anime at least try to offer something picturesque—dense forests, lush meadows, moody skies, sprawling towns, and whatnot—**TBATE instead presents us with an endless gallery of stock-image-level backdrops that are reminiscent of sun-melted ice cream**. The woodlands, plains, and nature itself seem sculpted from wet toilet paper, while you could find all of the villages and buildings in one of those shitty mobile game ads.

  What makes this already insufferable visual mess even more aggravating is the complete lack of cohesion between the foreground and the background—**there is zero sense of spatial harmony, blending, or smooth integration of the characters with their surroundings, which makes them come across as some poorly cropped stickers slapped atop a lifeless panorama**. In a way, they are constantly devoured by the environment around them, and the result is a disjointed, incomprehensible blight that is as confusing to look at as it is exhausting to endure. This is even further exacerbated by the utter dearth of shading, and because of that, every object on the screen, whether organic or man-made, ends up looking equally flat, dead, and indistinguishable from one another. Couple that with limp, lopsided, or straight-up missing outlines and highlights, and what you are left with is **a presentation so bereft of dimension, contrast, or atmosphere that it becomes a challenge to keep your eyes open, let alone stay focused**. I wish I were exaggerating, but staring at the screen for more than five consecutive minutes left me with genuine eye strain—it is painful to look at, both literally and figuratively. Oh, right, speaking of painful, I think you already know what I think about the character designs, but I will spell it out anyway: **they are absolutely dogshit**. They make the characters look like leftover presets from a dodgy MMO made in a smelly basement fifteen years ago—the clothes are uninspired and generic; the facial expressions and overall structure of the faces are uncanny; the models are clunky and stiff; the proportions are hilarious; you name it. A fantasy setting should ooze magic, might, majesty, and modesty—but you cannot find any of that here. I like my characters beautiful, I like my characters ugly—but above all else, I like them human, **and nothing about these designs feels even remotely alive, genuine, or original**.

  

  However, the icing on this turd-shaped cake is undoubtedly the animation—well, if we can even call it that. **From the very first episode onwards, the show goes out of its way to constantly, relentlessly, brutally, and viscerally bombard the viewer with some of the most nauseating scenes ever committed to digital media**. Whether it be the agonisingly motion-less fight scene between Arthur's family's friends and the goofy bandits in episode two, the laughable scuffle with the elf girl's kidnappers, the tragically barren training montages in the elven kingdom, or literally any of the dozens of throwaway sparring matches and silly clashes between fighters littered across the series, none of them contain even a shred of energy, clarity, or intention—**nothing fucking moves here**. Every scene that requires impetus or displays characters not standing still looks like some sleep-deprived middle schooler's PowerPoint assignment rushed out the night before it is due, with shitty PNGs sliding across the screen like a bunch of leaden worms and bitterly amateurish speed lines occupying the corners of the screen, desperately trying to manufacture some sense of momentum. Excuse me, but what does anime actually mean? Animation, right? **How in the actual fuck am I supposed to take a show that fails to animate basic movement convincingly**—if at all—**seriously**? Hell, even the talking scenes are so "*amazing*" that sometimes the mouths do not even move. Bravo, really. And whenever you think it cannot get worse, the special effects and CGI shank you in the gut like a cartoonish goon. They are so loud, obnoxiously in-your-face, and catastrophically cheap that they drown every moment in a slurry of radioactive blobs, unholy lights, and visual diarrhoea, making it virtually impossible to discern who is hitting whom, what is exploding in the background, **and why this anime was not cancelled during pre-production**. Remember the quasi-dragon fight in episode three? Yeah, I do too—and those horrid, migraine-inducing visual effects will continue to haunt me for the foreseeable future. It is embarrassingly obvious that the show is dishonestly attempting to hide its many, many, many, many, many flaws beneath a mountain of pseudo-flashy, digital vomit, but all it does is make the entire thing feel even more desperate, directionless, and drab than it already is. **This is basically the anime equivalent of pissing into a bowl, spraying it with glitter, and trying to market it as a gourmet dish**—no thanks! Oh, right, I almost forgot about the soundtrack. The opening sucks, the ending sucks, the insert songs suck, and that is about the gist of it. When I called this series meritless, **I truly meant it**.

  You would think that—at the very fucking least—the interior might try to compensate for the exterior's catastrophic properties. After all, there must be something in the original web novel that has got people enjoying it thoroughly—**some signature flavour, some amazing characters, some witty plot developments, some actual goddamn content that made it worth checking out**. And while, from what I have heard, the source material does carry a soul of its own—I would not know since I have not read a single sentence of it, nor do I intend to—**this anime adaptation not only spectacularly fails to translate that alleged personality but it violently grabs it, shits on it, sets it on fire, and tosses the ashes into the nearest river**. I have zero willingness to waste breath going scene-by-scene through the narrative because, frankly, I could not care less about TBATE's story and characters—but I will at least toss out a few examples to prove I am not just whining about the visuals for six paragraphs straight.

  The gravest sin the show commits by far is its utter and unapologetic butchery of anything remotely resembling interesting character development, competent writing, tangible emotional weight, or slow-and-steady pacing. **Rather than building upon its supposedly rich source material, it slices it to smithereens, skips numerous important moments, and dumbs down every single relationship and motivation to the point where even the spark of sincerity that may have once existed is now buried under fifty kilos of sludge, shortcuts, and sped-up content.** Take Arthur's childhood for instance—his early years, when he was meant to slowly grow accustomed to his new life, grow fond of his parents, and build some sort of emotional connection with the world. "*Nah, who the fuck cares, skip that shit*," says the anime, reducing these four years into nothing more than a montage. What about that lengthy period he spends in a cave with that white dragon-esque creature, forming what is meant to be a touching bond? "*Too long, don't care; skip all of that*," grunts TBATE, reducing a several-month-long stay into a one-week vacation. Okay, so what about Arthur's relationship with the elf princess, the years he spends within the elven kingdom, and the inter-species tension? "*Lmao, no one wants to actually wait for stuff to develop naturally. Crank the playback speed to 8x, Charlie*." What about the moment when Artur finally reunites with his family, friends, and previously unseen younger sibling after literal years of separation? "*Booooring! Here, enjoy this yet another cacophonous action sequence straight from a PS1 game*!" Right, so what about Arthur sharpening his skills and transforming into your typical overpowered isekai protagonist? "*Pfft, you have already seen enough of his training*! *You have already seen the 50 montages of PNGs sliding across the screen*! *Stop being so demanding*!" **Why should I care about this character's growth when the anime itself could not be arsed to animate, contextualise, or emotionally frame it**? Why should I be invested when the adaptation wants to wrap things up as soon as possible so that it can end and disappear off the air for like almost a year? Even if—and that is a very big if—the original story had some potential, the show's rendition of that tale is nothing short of lazy, uninspired, cookie-cutter, and empty. The same brutal treatment extends to the cast of characters, who are just a bunch of cardboard cutouts designed to orbit around Arthur, praise Arthur, die for Arthur, and disappear without a trace once their one-line personality has expired. **If you held a gun to my head and demanded I name five TBATE characters, I would just pull the fucking trigger myself**.

  

  Ugh, enough of this. While I would love to sit here and pretend that, a month or two from now, I will simply forget all about this shitfest and move on with my life, the sad, grim truth is that TBATE has firmly settled in the deepest, darkest recesses of my psyche and will continue to stay there for the years to come. **Unless the universe conspires to conceive an even more offensively incompetent, cynically produced, artistically hollow abomination in the near future, this will remain, without question, the worst anime I have ever had the misfortune of watching**. From soup to nuts, it reeks with the kind of pungent stench you would expect to encounter in some rat-filled sewer system. And yes, I am well aware of the old adage that "*all publicity is good publicity*," but I am not sure anyone wants their work to be remembered as "*that one adaptation so bad it became a punching bag*."

  But alas, after twelve long, drawn-out weeks of this seemingly endless torture session, we are finally free from TBATE's clutches. Not for long, though. The second part is already looming on the horizon like a returning plague, so, to my fellow anime masochists—**enjoy your TBATE-less days while you can, breathe the fresh air while it lasts, and brace yourselves for the shitstorm that is bound to come crashing down all over again**.

  A slop-tastic, inherently worthless failure of a fantasy series

  The Beginning After the End is a series which has been steeped in controversy since the first previews for it were released. A lot of this discourse stems from either the adaptation being a disappointment relative to its source material or comparisons to fellow fantasy web novel epic Mushoku Tensei, which often make it feel like the anime is rarely being judged on its own merits, just on how it fails to measure up to prebuilt hype and fan expectations.

  But the thing is, none of that really matters. It doesn’t matter how TBATE compares to its source material or to any other shows, not only because it has little bearing on the experience of anime-onlies, but also because you don’t need to compare TBATE to anything else to know it’s a bad show, it sucks completely on its own merits.

  Let’s start with our central character, Arthur Leywin. On a conceptual level, he at least manages to be something more interesting than other Isekai protagonists by virtue of having an actually interesting life before his reincarnation, having been not some generic schlub from the real world, but a warrior king from a sci-fi universe. From this, the show began to develop an emotional core in its initial episodes, showing Arthur as an emotionally stunted person breaking out of his shell thanks to having a warm, loving family and a semblance of a normal life for the first time.

  Now, on paper, this sounds all well and good, but in execution it reveals many of the show’s key flaws. Firstly, the show’s dialogue & scripting is bad. Much of the show, but especially the first episode, are dominated by Arthur’s dry internal monologue, and while internal monologue-heavy writing can benefit a story, just look at The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but that requires a richness of character and personality that TBATE simply lacks. Arthur’s internal monologue is a dull, monotonous drone which both makes for a detached atmosphere that creates too much of a buffer between the characters & the audience and also offers too little genuine insight into Art’s character to justify how much of the script it takes up. It gets less bad after the first episode, but even then it’s utter drivel. Combine that with how obscenely unnatural the exposition dumping is and how similarly monotonous the rest of the dialogue is, and the result is an utterly dry, charmless experience.

  This goes hand-in-hand with another major problem the show has: the characters themselves, which are largely as flat and one-note as can be. Arthur himself is arguably the best of them due to his interesting core concept, but past the first episode or so, he devolves into the generically nice, emotionally uncomplicated, utterly static, hypercompetent isekai protagonist with only flashes of what made him interesting in the first place. But compared to the rest of the cast he might as well be a Kunihiko Ikuhara character in terms of depth, because by god is this cast barren and sauceless. Arthur’s parents are vaguely badass & nice to their kid, Tessia is a generic damsel princess only made unique by often serving as comic relief (despite being incredibly unfunny), and the rest of the cast are so devoid of intrigue even compared to them that they might as well not even have names. They exist to orbit around Arthur and nothing else.

  And it’s not just the characterization which suffers due to the poor scripting, as the structure & pacing are also quite bad. There’s a dull mechanical clunk to the clip at which the story moves, every episode a fragmented series of vignettes which gets across just the barebones bullet points of what’s necessary to make the episodic plot happen without any real ability to let the concepts or emotions the script is introducing actually breathe. One episode ends on a note implying the next will be soft and emotional, only for said episode to immediately breeze past the poignant emotions set up within the first few minutes just so it can spend the next section of the episode infodumping about the magic system some more. Any intrigue which might emerge from the narrative is crushed under the weight of getting to the next point in the story outline because it’s written not as an immersive tale to truly be engaged with, but as Content^TM to be mindlessly consumed.

  And while the scene-by-scene pace & episode structure are too quick for their own good, the wider narrative is a different form of lifeless & mechanical: the utterly sluggish kind. Much of the plot is essentially a game of pinball where Arthur is catapulted to whatever locale or new conflict the author feels like exploring at any given moment without real agency of his own. This would be fine if there were some meaningful character arcs being progressed, themes explored, or if the narrative itself were more interconnected, but the writing lets itself down on all fronts. The story is practically a random events plot where every arc feels equally devoid of meaning, interesting drive, or genuine connection beyond just sharing the main character. It’s a directionless slog which makes most of its 12 episodes feel like an utter waste of time once it’s all said & done.

  The only ideas the show truly commits to consistently conveying are that Arthur is meant to be really badass and this is his shameless power fantasy. While early episodes do make some effort to have him struggle, both physically and emotionally, from the halfway point onwards it’s clear that metaphorically sucking his dick is the story’s only concern. Notably, while the show struggles to spend the proper time developing the genuine emotional core it wants you to think it has, it does reserve an entire episode for an asinine storyline where Arthur effortlessly crushes a one-dimensional jerkish noble who started a pointless conflict with him. The kind of thing that’d be called aura farming if the show were actually cool enough to have aura. It really does show where the writers’ priorities lay when push comes to shove, no? Pretty much the only thing missing from the litany of usual masturbatory slop is the obligatory harem of interchangeable waifus lusting after the MC, and I frankly wouldn’t be surprised if the show ended up introducing one later in the series anyway.

  And finally, the elephant in the room: this show looks like utter garbage. Calling it a PowerPoint presentation is an insult so common as to feel cliche at this point, but it’s overused because it’s true. Every episode has boatloads of cheap limited animation which particularly stands out to most people because it’s used specifically for the scenes which would actually require some modicum of effort to do. Whether it be something relatively complex & dynamic like a fight scene or something that’d require emotional weight like a major character reuniting with their family, all of them are rendered with nothing but cheap pans over still frames rather than anything actually dynamic or animated.

  Though it’s not like the actually animated parts look all that much better. Even at its best, the show’s character animation is stiff and its direction lifeless. The utter blandness of the art style also sticks out, the show’s entire visual identity is wholesale copied from every other piece of JRPG-inspired slop to come out of the anime industry in the last two decades, and the show’s occasional meager attempts at invoking awe are ruined by this to a laughable degree. Like, for example, there’s one episode where Art enters a city that’s supposed to seem amazing based on his reactions and the whimsical music, but when the camera is actually on the environment it’s, uh…

  

  …yeah, not exactly a perfect picture of fantastical grandeur or wonder there, huh?

  Honestly, the worst thing about the shitty animation is that it isn’t even shitty in an interesting way. At least the Berserk 2016s, Ex-Arms, and Hand Shakers of the world are breaking new ground in their ability to fail and end up becoming comedy disasterpieces as a result. TBATE couldn’t even be bothered to be that level of fun bad, it’s just shitty in the same way every other slop isekai is and making fun of its visuals stops being fun once you’ve exhausted the PowerPoint jokes. Seriously, a high profile failure to this degree not even being ambitious enough to fail in a spectacular manner is the worst sort of failure.

  Maybe the source readers are right and there’s a good version of TBATE out there somewhere, whether that be the web novel, the webtoon, or just some idealized vision in the mind of its original author. I don’t know and that ultimately doesn’t matter here, but what I can say with certainty is that their anime adaptation is absolutely not worth your time in any respect. It is devoid of any passion, creativity, and soul to a genuinely insulting degree and I hate myself for spending so much time on it.

  The beginning after the end - Or the end of originality?

  So, here is the thing: The Beginning After the End could have been good. A king who is re-born into a magical world but his memory hasn a second chance of life, and a cool combining elements of swords and sorcery? The formula of success. And, unfortunately, instead, we were served a lukewarm isekai with all the usual tropes and without any seasoning to it, and the protagonist is so overpowered and under-challenged that Superman is but a struggling intern in his presence.

  The first of our characters is King Grey, who evidently managed an entire modern kingdom, but displays approximately the same range of emotions as a wooden spoon. He falls out in a rather mysterious manner, likely due to boredom, and is reincarnated as Arthur Leywin, literal magic baby. Instead, we have a protracted montage of the baby genius antics yelling, Look how smart and powerful I am in a series of biting character development or tension (or any other worthwhile thing). The narrative soon degenerates into a formula: Arthur gets to a new place, behaves pre-efferently superior to all, and then departs after an awe-inspiring impression his god-like abilities. Wash and repeat.

  The dialogue among characters is excruciatingly showy. The dialogue is like it was going through Google Translate and then another, and then a steam roller of cliches. Supporting characters are there to be appalled at the might of Arthur, impart whatever they can in the few lines they are allowed, or die in a twist that is supposed to be a heart wrenching moment but is not because of the lack of investment in the characters by the audience. Family? Friends? Rivals? They are all cardboard cut-outs revolving around Planet Arthur, play no actual plot role, other than to remind us how perfect he is.

  So what about the pacing? And sometimes it works more quickly than the growth curve of Arthur-- other times it is a molasses crawl. The action is associated with the leap in time literally too many times that we cannot see the character develop as exposition dumps replace the apparent personality growth and arches are blatantly and conveniently skipped. There are training montages of the same tense as a mid-tier mobile game tutorial. And when action does come it is usually indistinguishable in its blandness to the ramp-up, with bland choreography and bland magic effects making even tense fights look like uninspired power shows.

  The world building is potentially decent, it has nations, races, mana beasts, academies, but it is all just wallpaper. The lore is spoon fed in heavy, clumsy narration or expository dialogue and most of the names used (Dicathen, Alacrya, etc.) are just empty sounding with little sense of life or history. It is obvious that the world should be expanded in further arcs, yet it is too late because it is done too little.

  And we should not overlook the tone. The novel keeps alternating between the desire to function like a profound character study of a reincarnated king and like a teenage fantasy power and last trip. It does neither unfortunately. The self-analysis that Arthur goes through has no striking significance of any value whatsoever and when tragedy strikes, it is conveniently swept under the carpet with even more training and more ascending to god-mode. The emotional scenes are defeated by the fact that Arthur never suffers at all in any way, neither emotionally, physically, nor morally.

  In one word, The Beginning After the End is an isekai cliche buffet of all the isekai tropes you can think of: overpowered main character, magic school, heritage of royal blood, tragic past, unsolved mysteries of powerful empires behind the scene--take your pick. Instead of spinning all these elements into a cohesive and interesting whole, it layers them on like non-complimentary LEGO blocks. Honest-to-goodness tension is scarce, emotion is even scarcer, and none of the movie presents much idea of actual danger. It is neither a story, nor even a power fantasy checklist but a glorified power fantasy one.

  Provided you are the kind of viewer who merely enjoys watching an unbeatable main character go through life with everything going his way as people fall over themselves trying to impress him, then you may like it. But of course, when you want substance, a thought-out and complex characters or originality to your fantasy anime? You should have kicked off anywhere at all.
