The Beginning After the End, created by TurtleMe, has become one of the most controversial anime adaptations ever made. As a project by Studio A-Cat, the series has faced intense criticism with each episode released during the Spring 2025 season.
Consequently, many were expecting the anime to be cancelled after its initial 12-episode run. However, in a stunning announcement, Crunchyroll revealed that the divisive title would be receiving a sequel, which would come out in April 2026 during the Spring 2026 season.
The Beginning After the End Season 2 will follow Arthur’s life as an A-Rank adventurer as he overcomes several challenges along with Sylvie and Jasmine. It will also bring the focus on an alliance between the three kingdoms of Dicathen, after which Arthur will finally enter Xyrus Academy.
The Beginning After the End is a beloved novel and manhwa that follows King Grey, a man of unparalleled power and influence, who suffers an untimely death. However, his story only begins from there as he is reborn as Arthur Leywin, the son of Alice and Reynolds, in a world filled with magic.
In these new surroundings where he is showered with love and has the chance to pursue his passions, Arthur embraces the joys of his childhood. However, even this fantasy world has its fair share of trouble, as Arthur is thrust into numerous life-threatening situations that force him to grow stronger to protect his family.
As mentioned, though The Beginning After the End's source material is widely considered to be one of the best isekai stories ever written, the anime has caused outrage among viewers, with petitions being made asking for its cancellation. This is mainly due to its subpar visuals and lack of fluid animation, due to which the intensity of the story is not faithfully replicated.
Nevertheless, even before the end of its first season, the second season has been confirmed to air in April 2026. The stakes of the story will be elevated to another level in the anime sequel, as major antagonists and a world outside of the continent of Dicathen are revealed.
The Beginning After the End Season 2 will see Arthur face his biggest challenge yet
The latest episodes of The Beginning After the End Season 1 have seen Arthur leaving his family and heading out to hone his skills as an adventurer. Under the supervision of Jasmine, the protagonist hides his identity as Note and starts making a name for himself.
The second season will likely pick up from here, taking place after a two-year timeskip where Arthur has risen to become an A-rank adventurer. Despite impressing everyone with his skills, he soon faces his most dangerous mission yet while taking part in a disastrous raid of a dungeon containing the S-Class Mana Beast, Elderwood Guardian.
Along with the perilous situation, Arthur will endure a brutal back-stabbing and brush with death once again. Hence, for fans who enjoyed the drama and battles of season 1, the sequel will be taking things to a whole other level. Additionally, season 2 will feature an alliance between the humans, elves, and dwarves as they prepare to face a newly discovered continent outside of Dicathen.
To that end, an elite unit called the Lances is created, and Arthur sets his sights on taking out its strongest member to avenge his earlier betrayal. After a long wait, the protagonist will finally join Xyrus Academy along with his new friend, Elijah.

Tessia will make her highly anticipated return to the story, while Arthur grapples with the uncomfortable dissonance between his mind and body. The Beginning After the End is globally renowned because, although it starts off as a typical isekai tale, it soon distinguishes itself with a layered narrative filled with complexity and excitement.
Season 2 will showcase the first signs of this development, and the story will only keep getting better from this point. At the same time, the overall execution of the anime still depends upon the studio, and fans are sincerely hoping to see some improvements.
