Best Legal Options for Watching The Beginning After the End
1. Crunchyroll — Best Overall Option
Crunchyroll is the safest first stop for most readers. Crunchyroll announced the anime adaptation and its streaming plans, and the current series page is live with episode pages for both Season 1 and Season 2. Search results for Season 2 also show sub/dub episode pages, including the Season 2 premiere released on April 1, 2026.
If you want the cleanest legal route in English-speaking regions, start here. Crunchyroll plans commonly start around $7.99/month in the US, but pricing and episode availability vary by country.
2. Prime Video / Amazon Video — Best Digital Storefront Backup
Prime Video has an official listing for The Beginning After the End, and the US Amazon Video Season 1 page shows individual Season 1 episodes. The Prime page references rent/buy flow, so this is worth checking if you prefer paying episode-by-episode or keeping the show inside Amazon’s video library.
The caveat: Amazon availability is account-specific. The page may show purchase, rental, channel access, or limited availability depending on your country and Amazon marketplace.
3. Apple TV — Useful Storefront and Audio/Subtitle Reference
Apple TV has a US show page for The Beginning After the End. The listing identifies studio A-CAT, a 2025 release, Japanese original audio, and multiple dubbed/subtitled language options including English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese.
Apple TV is useful if you prefer Apple’s app/library or want to confirm language options. Just check the local button in your Apple TV app before assuming the show is included in your country.
4. Netflix — Confirmed in Japan, Region-Locked Elsewhere
Netflix has an official title page that resolved to Netflix Japan during our check and listed the show as a 2026 anime with 20 episodes. Search results also surfaced a Philippines Netflix page. That makes Netflix a real legal option in at least select regions, but not something to assume globally.
If the Netflix link does not open in your country, it likely means the title is not in your local Netflix library. Netflix licenses anime very differently by region, so check before subscribing just for this show.
5. Disney+ Japan — Confirmed Japan Streaming Page
Disney+ Japan has an official page for The Beginning After the End, listing it as a 2025-2026 anime with two seasons. This is a Japan-specific option, not a general Disney+ recommendation for every country.
If you are outside Japan, do not expect the show to appear in your Disney+ catalog unless your local app specifically lists it.
6. BiliBili — Regional Streaming Option
BiliBili has an official media page for Season 1, marked Premium. We also found a Season 2 BiliBili page, but it displayed a region-lock message from our location, so availability depends on your country.
This is most relevant for Southeast Asian or other BiliBili-supported regions. If the page says the title is unavailable in your area, use Crunchyroll or another legal local platform instead.
7. iQIYI — Regional Streaming Option for Season 1 and Season 2
iQIYI has official knowledge/album pages for The Beginning After the End Season 1 and Season 2. The pages identify the anime as distributed on iQIYI International and include playback notes such as 4K/Dolby support.
Because iQIYI licensing is regional, treat this as a confirmed legal option where the album page is playable in your country, not a worldwide guarantee.
Is The Beginning After the End on Hulu, HIDIVE, Tubi, or YouTube?
We did not find a confirmed legal full-episode listing for The Beginning After the End on Hulu, HIDIVE, Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Max, Peacock, Paramount+, or an official full-episode YouTube channel. Some unofficial uploads and recap videos appear in search results; skip those. They are not legal streaming options.
Disney+ does have a Japan page, Netflix has select regional pages, and BiliBili/iQIYI have regional listings, so this is not a one-platform show. The annoying part is that the best option changes depending on where you live. …Anime licensing. Never simple.
Traveling or Region-Locked?
The Beginning After the End is confirmed on Crunchyroll in the United States, and Japan-specific pages are live on Netflix Japan and Disney+ Japan. If you already pay for one of those services and the title disappears while you are traveling, NordVPN can help you access your usual account from a relevant server such as the US or Japan. Use it for legitimate travel access, not piracy or unlicensed uploads.
