What Is The Beginning After the End About?

The Beginning After the End made waves with fans of the original webcomic series because of its new take on the Isekai subgenre. While it seems to have some similarities to slower paced series like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, the first episode of the anime is teasing how it’s going to be carving out its own path soon enough. With the series promising that this is really only the beginning (with Season 1 being an official part of its title for now), The Beginning After the End really is only beginning now.

As for what this new series is actually about, the central hook sees an evil king die and reborn in a new magical world. But as he explores this new world, he’s out to live a much different kind of life than before. Crunchyroll teases what to expect from The Beginning After the End as such, “After a mysterious death, King Grey is reborn as Arthur Leywin on the magical continent of Dicathen. Although he enters his second life as a baby, his previous wisdom remains. He begins to master magic and forge his own path as the years go by, seeking to correct the mistakes of his past life.”
