The episode where his bloodlust shatters the windows was simultaneously the stupidest moment I’ve seen in one of these power fantasy shows, but also the best episode of Season 1.

What to Expect From The Beginning After The End Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The animation was not the only thing to fault Beginning After The End for. In the beginning, it was almost panel for panel with the manga, right down to the lack of animation, but as the series went on, they started altering a number of events. The outcomes of those events were kept the same, but they how those events happened was changed.
As the light novel is more detail-dense about the world and the manga has far better art, either way you want to consume this story would best be done from the beginning. The first season of anime was… fine, the second season added anime-original filler and ended up far worse. You should read this series from the beginning if you enjoyed it.
