The growth and popularity of The Beginning After The End has long been noteworthy, and demand for an on-screen version has grown over the last couple of seasons. Keitaro Motonaga is directing the show, while Masami Sueoka is handling character designs.
The title itself alludes to reincarnation, as the powerful King Grey returns as the unassuming Arthur, who gradually learns that his new body is part of broader mystery. Kicking off in January 2017, it’s become a flagship story on the Tapas platform.
