The Beginning After The End has been getting a lot of attention lately, with some even dubbing it "the next Solo Leveling." The story is an isekai (if we can use this word in this context), telling the story of a former king who is reincarnated as a newborn baby in a magical world to right the wrongs of his past life.

Two episodes have already been released, and read on to learn when the third episode will come out, where you can officially watch it and if there will be an English-dubbed version of the series.

Where to Officially Watch TBATE?

In most countries, The Beginning After The End is available to stream on Crunchyroll in many countries, subbed in multiple languages. The service has already confirmed that a dubbed version will be available at a later date — Crunchyroll usually adds them about three weeks after the episode airs, but no official information has been released.

TBATE is also on Netflix in select Asian countries and territories (Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong). Netflix Asia generally streams most seasonal anime in Asia. The series may also be available on other platforms in other countries.

The release date of the dubbed version of TBATE remains to be announced.

Is TBATE Anime Living Up To The Hype?

The series is produced by Studio A-Cat, and directed by Keitaro Motonaga and written by Takamitsu Kouno, both of whom previously worked on Highspeed Étoile. The original story is quite famous, so there are a few expectations that TBATE will be some kind of "new Solo Leveling," even though many fans may not know the studio very well.

However, many fans were disappointed with the first episode, and many have commented that the quality of the animation was well below their expectations, and it's sparking a lot of debate. So far, the series does not seem to live up to the hype. Studio A-Cat probably has a much more limited budget than Solo Leveling's A-1 Picture or even Tower of God's The Answer Studio, so there are probably many restrictions on the level of animation they can deliver.

Is The Beginning After The End A Manhwa?

TBATE is originally a novel written by TurtleMe, a Korean-born American artist, and illustrated by Fuyuki23, an Indonesian artist. The webtoon adaptation, also illustrated by Fuyuki23, came later — even though the original artist is Korean, both the novel and the comic seem to be aimed at an English-speaking audience, but some people call it manhwa because the original creator is Korean.
