1 Brief Synopsis Of The Series
What Is TBATE About?
The series is based on the light novels by Korean-American author Turtle Me, who also directed the production of the Manhwa adaptation alongside the artists Fuyuki 23 (up to chapter 176) and Eginhardt, and will, of course, participate in the production of the anime. It narrates the story of King Grey, a powerful monarch from a distant world, who grew tired of the cycle of war and betrayal and surrendered to death, only to reincarnate in a world of fantasy on the continent of Dicathen, as Arthur Leywin, the son of two retired adventurers.

As Arthur, he retains the knowledge of his past life as Grey and is able to quickly learn magic and swordsmanship, impressing his parents and their companions after an incident nearly ends their lives. Arthur will be accompanied by Sylvie, first a Pet, then a Bond, a spiritual animal that is sworn to a mage and accompanies them for life. And to prevent further spoilers, the synopsis will be left at that. The story is very good, enough to have received a lot of praise from fans and critics alike.
2 The Beginning After The End Debut Window
Estimated Release Date And Other Info
It wasn't disclosed entirely, though it is expected to be in early 2025 since most of the anime runs begin around the first semester of the year. If the series was already in production before the official announcement, then an early 2025 release is not so far from reality.
Of course, this is also bound to the rules of the entertainment industry and anime is no exception to them. If production is delayed, then a late 2025 launch (Fall) is also a possibility. We will keep a close eye on the official sites and inform fans when an official announcement related to the launch is released.
3 The Studios Producing The Series
The People Involved In The Project
The studios producing the series will be Slowcurve, and A-CAT, responsible for the production of series like I've Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills and HIGHSPEED Étoile. The series will be in charge of TurtleMe, Gabriel le Luu, Mike Zhu, and Kevin Nicklaus, with the direction of the legendary Keitaro Motonaga (Digimon Adventure, among others).

4 Launch Trailer And Where To Watch
A Familiar Streaming Platform Takes Charge
The launch trailer announcing the anime was shared by Crunchyroll on their official site and also posted on their YouTube channel. Fans can watch it in the link below to see what the art style of the series looks like, and other important details:
Keep in mind that there's also an official X Site for the series and an international website in English and Japanese, so any important information regarding the dates, new trailers, promotional artwork and more will be delivered through those channels. Quite an interesting display of marketing skills, since all these sites went up the same day as the official announcement in Japan.
5 Differences Between The Beginning After The End Manhwa And Anime
This Could Be Good Since The Author Is Supervising The Production
The main differences will be related to the artwork, as Fuyuki 23 (TBATE's first artist) and Eginhardt (current artist) will not be involved in the production process, at least, not in a direct way. The author has been part of the production team from minute zero, and this means the anime version will be the most accurate possible to the light novels, at least in terms of worldbuilding, lore, and character development.
Interestingly, the trailer already showcases the most obvious difference between the art style of the light novels and the manhwa, defining itself as much more mature and stylized. The visual effects will be considerably heavier, and perhaps a little bit toned down in color since manhwa fans will know that fight scenes in this industry are quite flashy. So, for the sake of production, there's bound to be some tweaks in that sense. But fans should be happy, as the creator of the series will be directly involved with the project, and that means something nice is cooking there.
