The Beginning After the End has officially confirmed Season 2—even as backlash from fans reaches a fever pitch. Despite a petition with over 50,000 signatures demanding its cancellation, the anime adaptation of TurtleMe’s hit webcomic is pushing forward.

🎬 Season 2 Confirmed

The finale of Season 1 (airing June 18 on Crunchyroll) includes a post-credits teaser revealing Arthur's new design and the story’s next arc. Though a release date and staff details are still TBA, Crunchyroll has greenlit Season 2 production.

📉 Why the Backlash?

Highly anticipated before release, the anime quickly disappointed fans of the webcomic due to underwhelming visuals and pacing. The harsh divide between loyal readers and new anime viewers sparked viral criticism—and eventually a full-blown cancellation petition.

🗣️ Creator Responds

TurtleMe responded to the outrage with a heartfelt plea:

“Please continue being the rock that gave TBATE the time and chance to be where it is today... I'm not asking you to like something you don’t, but please be respectful.”

Despite controversy, the series remains among the most talked-about anime of Spring 2025 - proving that even negative press keeps the hype alive.
