The Beginning After the End by Crunchyroll has officially confirmed its return for Season 2. While the first season of this series sparked intense debates, its creator did not intend to cause controversy but is currently preparing to present compelling evidence to critics.
Based on the popular webtoon and novel by TurtleMe, the first season of the anime created a divide among viewers: some praised its faithful adaptation, while others criticized the pacing and quality of animation. However, with the new season set to premiere, the production team is reportedly ramping up development and enhancing its creative efforts.
TurtleMe, the creator of the original work, recently shared his thoughts about the upcoming season in a press release from Crunchyroll, describing the production journey as “a broad experience.” Collaborating with Crunchyroll, Tapas, and A-Cat studio, he acknowledged the challenges of launching such a large-scale project. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic, emphasizing a clear focus on development and hoping that the new creative energy of the team will meet expectations. Despite the high stakes, it’s not just about the anime’s reputation but also about the creative team’s determination to elevate this series.
TurtleMe shared: “It is indeed a broad experience to be part of such a large project alongside Crunchyroll, Tapas, and A-Cat. The core focus of our development efforts is to ensure that the upcoming season will exceed expectations. Let’s look forward to it!”
Why does The Beginning After the End cause such controversy?
When “The Beginning After the End” premiered, the global enthusiasm for the source material reached a peak. However, the anime adaptation sparked a wave of criticism. Fans of the original webtoon found the revived storytelling captivating, and the world-building was richly developed, but they felt that the anime version glossed over crucial moments that could not be conveyed through visuals. This discrepancy has ignited heated discussions across online platforms and social media, with many arguing that the anime did not do justice to the beloved main character, Arthur Leywin.
The bulk of the criticism focused on the animation quality, with viewers expressing disappointment in A-Cat studio’s lack of polish. In a story that thrives on emotional depth, many felt that the animation did not adequately capture the entire narrative arc. Despite this, the series still attracted a dedicated fanbase. With the lessons learned, the creative team is striving to deliver a more coherent and authentic narrative.
TurtleMe’s vision and the potential for a successful second season
TurtleMe’s statement indicates a significant shift in direction for Season 2 of “The Beginning After the End,” emphasizing creativity and ambition. He acknowledges the scale of collaboration and highlights that development will be the main driving force behind the upcoming production. He hopes that the next installment will reflect a deeper understanding of fans’ desires and a more nuanced portrayal of the characters.
The transparency of the creator opens a dialogue that connects more closely with the audience, which may convert skeptics into supporters. As production speeds up, there is a cautious optimism that “The Beginning After the End” could rebound after its initial wave of criticism. If TurtleMe and his team can deliver a season that is richer in emotional depth, the series could not only rectify previous missteps but also transform into a beloved adaptation among long-time fans.
