The Beginning After the End Season 2

The highly anticipated adaptation of a popular web novel series was released last year. Unfortunately, the anime met lots of criticism and hate for its poor production quality. Fans of the source material blamed the anime for ruining an excellent story with terrible animation and poor art style. Clearly, it was one of the biggest disappointments of 2025. But there is still some anticipation surrounding its sequel.

The sequel to The Beginning After the End has a chance to fix the mistakes of its prequel. From the looks of the trailer, Season 2 is not a massive improvement in terms of animation quality, but it is still an improvement.
