The Beginning After the End

I've never seen animation this bad - if you can even call it animation. This anime is basically just a collection of slides. And on the rare occasion something is animated, it's worse than any fan animation I've ever come across. Is this supposed to be an anime or a PowerPoint presentation? I genuinely can't understand what the studio was thinking with this. It's a complete disservice to the source material and to the viewers.

What makes it even worse is that the story actually had potential. Fans were excited for this adaptation, but what we got is an insult to everyone who supported the series. The lack of effort is painful to watch, and the end result feels lazy, rushed, and soulless. Honestly, this should be used as a case study for how not to adapt a beloved web novel.

Sorry to say but after reading the manhua 3 months ago the anime was really bad below my expectation,it was a very good manhua but bad in the anime series. I think the author made a mistake in choosing the studio that released the anime itself and am still prefer reading the manhua than watching the anime series, your story such a great and have really high potential if the adaptation from studio can deliver to us great animation like Solo Leveling did it ... i know animation is not everything but i'm talking animation series thats the point right why we watch the anime series to get better views.

The first episode is horrible, the animations are among the worst I've ever seen (not the worst in absolute terms but they are definitely in the top 3 of the worst), the plot is insipid (ok, it's the beginning, but I've seen generic isekai start in a more original and less forced way), the protagonist is the usual character that Manhwa followers like so much, cool, very powerful, absolutely not interesting and with whom it is impossible to empathize.

They had me so excited for this series but apparently it is simply Solo Leveling but without the animations to make it at least an entertaining view.

As a big fan of the original The Beginning After the End novel and webcomic, I went into the anime with sky-high hopes - only to come crashing down faster than Arthur in a bad mana training session.

First off, the pacing is a complete mess. They cram major life events - rebirth, childhood, training - into just a couple of episodes with almost no emotional weight. One moment baby Arthur is being adorable, the next he's somehow a mana prodigy, and you're left wondering if you accidentally skipped three episodes.

The animation quality is painfully average. For a series that's supposed to be filled with intense battles, beautiful magic, and rich worldbuilding, the visuals feel lifeless and rushed. Fight scenes lack the fluidity and impact needed to make them memorable, and sometimes characters look off-model mid-conversation - like they were drawn by two different teams.

Voice acting? Hit or miss. Arthur's voice actor tries, but some emotional scenes fall flat because the dialogue feels stiff or way too melodramatic. Also, the supporting cast sounds like they're reading a fantasy script for the first time in their lives.

Worst of all, they butchered some of the most important moments from the original story. Deep character development and world lore? Almost nonexistent. Instead, they favor tired isekai clichés and shallow action.

Honestly, it feels like a cash grab banking on the popularity of the novel and webcomic without respecting what made the original special.

Unless they turn things around drastically in future episodes, this anime adaptation might be the real "beginning of the end" for the franchise's reputation.

Is it deserving of 1 star? No. However it's absolutely not deserving of 7 stars and I'm sick of devoted fan bases rating shows with bad adaptations highly because "they're a true fan". This is why you all will keep getting mid season after season because you're willing to put up and watch what ever they will give you.

This isn't even average/ decent animation. Reincarnated with my smartphone has average animation. This is just so poorly done. It's so annoying to see the poorly done edits of still images PNG shots with the camera constantly panning up & down, side to side to try and make it look like it's being animated. The abused the hell out of it.

I wasn't expecting solo levelling animation or even Mushoku Tensei animation but this was just a disaster. Speaking of solo levelling, Arthur is very much an aura farmer in the manwa the same way Jinwoo is. I worry that his personality will not fair well in this adaptation simply because the action will be so bad and you need strong animation for it not to come off as cringe.

I really enjoyed reading the manwa and the story is pretty good so it's just sad to see the treatment it's getting. TurtleMe 100% sold out just to make a cash grab. Like where is the passion man!? Imagine putting that much work into a story just to sell out in the end to some no name studio with a crap portfolio of mid animations to their name...

I was really looking forward to this show and now it's basically over and done with. The show is going the flop hard. It's ended before it's even begun. Probably won't ever get another chance to see it brought to life on screen the way it deserves.

Solid 4/10 at best so far. It's only to get worse as well when we start seeing more heavily CGI beasts and terrible fights.

Downvote my review all you want. Animation absolutely does matter. This is anime, if you don't think it matters than stick with reading. Animation is the most important part when bringing these stories on screen.
