written by Geek

Offically scheduled to premiere in 2025, TurtleMe’s popular webtoon and web book The Beginning After The End (TBATE) is set to become an anime series. Author TurtleMe was there for this fascinating statement given during a panel at the New York Comic Con 2024 sponsored by Crunchyroll. Exciting fans all around, the disclosure was hinted at as a “special surprise” before the event.

Crunchyroll to Stream TBATE Anime

Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will stream the TBATE anime; Season 1 runs 24 episodes divided into two courses. Additionally revealed during the presentation was a teaser graphic and trailer for the adaptation, giving viewers their first impression of the forthcoming series.

TBATE Anime Production Team

The production of the TBATE anime is in capable hands, with experienced staff bringing the beloved story to life:

  • Director: Keitaro Motonaga (Date A Live, Katanagatari)
  • Series Composition: Takamitsu Kono (Utawarerumono, Revue Starlight)
  • Character Design: Masami Sueoka (Fate/Grand Order: Camelot, Black Clover)
  • Music: Keiji Inai (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, The Rising of the Shield Hero)
  • Studio: A-CAT
  • Production: Slow Curve

TurtleMe also actively participates as executive producer and story supervisor. Representing both Tapas Entertainment and TurtleMe LLC, other executive producers are Mike Zhu, Kevin Nicklaus, and Gabrielle Luu.

Author TurtleMe’s Excitement for the Anime Adaptation

TurtleMe shared his thoughts on the adaptation:

“I’m excited to share that The Beginning After the End is becoming an anime on Crunchyroll. When I first started writing TBATE as a web novel years ago, I never imagined it would one day reach this point. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from every fan along the way. I can’t wait to celebrate the premiere next year with all of you, whether you’re a long-time reader or a new viewer.”

Mike Zhu, Head of Comic and Film & TV at Tapas Entertainment, added:

“We are incredibly excited to introduce The Beginning After the End as an anime, marking an exciting new chapter for both Tapas and this beloved series. This is a wonderful opportunity that allows us to share TBATE’s epic story with fans around the world in a whole new way. This collaboration represents a major milestone for us and US-created webcomics, and we can’t wait to see the excitement it sparks among our community and beyond.”

About The Beginning After The End

Originally a web book authored by TurtleMe with images by Fuyuki23, The Beginning After The End eventually underwent webtoon adaptation. Accessible on Yen Press in print and Tapas for digital readers, the series has grown to be a hit among readers of fantasy and reincarnation tales. Yen Press has released six volumes in English; the web book currently has 482 chapters—or 1465 episodes.

King Grey was a monarch with unparalleled wealth, power, and influence. Still, he felt hollow inside, without real direction even with his successes. Grey has an opportunity to change his destiny after reincarnation into a magical and monster-filled new planet. Underneath his apparently serene existence in his new environment, though, is a menace that might destroy all he has worked for and try his determination and challenge his second chance at life.

When the anime adaptation releases on Crunchyroll next year, fans should expect a fresh interpretation of this cherished story.

The anime is based on a webtoon (which was originally a web novel) created by Chugong and h-goon, with art by DUBU from REDICE Studio.

Solo Leveling Episode 8 Delayed

by Geek
written by Geek

On Saturday, February 17, 2024, fans of Solo Leveling were surprised to find out that Episode 8 was delayed for a mid-season recap episode. The news was shared on the official X account, formerly known as Twitter, at around 10:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time.

Season Length Speculation

The delay of Episode 8 has sparked speculation about the length of the first season. Some fans were expecting a two-cour season, but with the recap episode coming between the 7th and 8th episodes, it seems like the first season might only be a single cour.

Disappointment and Hope

While fans may be disappointed by the potential shorter season, there is still hope that the series will continue to deliver exciting content. The recap episode could serve as a refresher for fans before diving into the action-packed second half of the season.

Popular Adaptation

Solo Leveling has been one of the most popular anime of the Winter 2024 season. Despite the delay, fans are expressing patience and gratitude for the series. This shows just how much fans are enjoying the adaptation so far.

About Solo Leveling

Solo Leveling Episode 8 is part of the television anime adaptation of the original webtoon series by author Chugong and illustrator Jang Sung-rak (Dubu). The series premiered in Japan on January 7, 2024, and is produced by A-1 Pictures. Crunchyroll has been streaming the series internationally.

Future of the Series

The original webtoon series started in March 2018 and ended in December 2021. A spin-off called Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is currently in production and will be released in webtoon format later in 2024.

Controversial Solo Leveling Studio Faces Public Outcry in South Korea

by Geek
written by Geek

You know that awesome new anime, Solo Leveling? Well, it’s been making waves with its amazing animation and catchy opening song. But guess what? It’s also been caught up in some serious drama!

It all started when fans in Korea discovered that Studio PPURI was involved in making the Solo Leveling anime. People were not happy about it, and they made their voices heard. The studio’s track record wasn’t exactly squeaky clean, so the producers decided to remove their name from the credits. Talk about a shocker!

Why Was Studio PPURI Sacked?

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Studio PPURI, the ones behind the cool opening theme song “LEveL,” got into some hot water. They were accused of including ‘anti-men’ gestures in their works and having ties to a feminist group called Megalia. This group has a bad reputation in certain parts of Korea because they expose misogynistic behavior online.

Basically, Megalia focuses on putting down Korean men based on their appearance. And guess what? Studio PPURI was accused of sneaking this gesture into their works, including the Solo Leveling anime opening. That’s why they got kicked out. But don’t worry, this only affected the show’s distribution in Korea.

Financial Concerns and Fan Criticism

So, why did they really remove Studio PPURI? Well, it seems like it wasn’t just because of the fans’ complaints. The publishers of Solo Leveling, D&C Media, were also worried about their money. They saw a big drop in their stock price, more than 10% in just one day!

What Does This Mean for the Anime?

Okay, here’s the good news. Studio PPURI’s departure won’t affect the production of the anime at all. The only change you’ll notice is in the post-credit scene, where the studio won’t be credited anymore. But don’t worry, you can still watch the awesome opening on YouTube and other platforms.

Is It Discrimination?

Some people think this whole situation is just another example of discrimination. They believe that the Japanese industry has something against foreign companies like Studio PPURI. But hey, let’s not jump to conclusions. The Solo Leveling anime is still going strong on Crunchyroll, and you can catch new episodes every Saturday!
