On March 29, the 13th and thus the last episode of the second season of Solo Leveling was broadcast. Although the fantasy anime has celebrated massive successes worldwide, it is still unsure whether a third season will be released. Finally, the producer of the series said that "Solo Leveling has ended for now".
However, fans of Solo Leveling can comfort themselves, because there is a newcomer anime that may be able to fill the gap that leaves the solo leveling power fantasy:The Beginning After The End.
A possible gap filler for solo leveling fans and the next power fantasy anime series
Already in the past-before the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling-the two web comics were repeatedly compared: The Beginning after the end, like Solo Leveling, was originally a novel series, which was then adapted as a web comic and was finally implemented as an anime.
Compared to Solo Leveling, the novel by The Beginning After The End is from America and not like Solo Leveling from Korea. Solo Leveling's novel, also known as ONLY I Level Up, was released in 2016, while The Beginning After The End was only released a year later.
However, both received a webcomic adaptation in 2018, which serves as a primary source for the current anime implementations. Solo Leveling released his first anime relay in early 2024. The Beginning after the end only starts in April with his first anime episode.
The starting after the end is often recommended in the community in connection with Solo Leveling, since both main characters are in a so-called power fantasy setting and have gained great popularity in the same period.

What is the beginning of the end and where you can see the series
The beginning of the end tells the story of the recently deceased King Gray, who is born in a different world as Arthur Leysin. Magic exists in the new world and so there are also magical living things that did not exist in the world before his death.
He grows up as a child of two adventurers and learns to deal with magic. Since he was a mighty king in his previous life and kept his memories after the rebirth, Arthur takes advantage of his knowledge of his old life in order to rise to a respected personality over the years.
So that he does not make the same mistakes as King Gray before his death, he decides to live an honest and sincere life and finally leave his past drawn by war.
However, it does not take long for this to change and your life is turned upside down. The fact that he was born in this world does not seem to have been a coincidence. A war breaks out between two known nations, and he has to slip into the role of the king again to maintain the peace of his new world.
The first episode of the anime adaptation of The Beginning After The End appearsOn April 2, 2025 on Crunchyroll. All episodes are available in the Japanese original sound with English subtitles. So far there is no information about German synchronization or German subtitles.
