A visual comparison

• First new look: Chapter 8

Sylvia looks almost unrecognizable in the anime adaptation of Beginning after the end Because of the drastic changes in her character design. At first glance, she resembles an ancient diviner and radiates a mysterious, sorcerous energy. In fact she could easily pass like Ainz Ooal Gown's body discovers from Overlord With his priest -like silhouette and exaggerated shoulder structure, of course, minus the skeleton head.

Meanwhile, in WebComic, Sylvia appears as a horned humanoid monster with glowing red eyes and two massive horns that bump from her head. Her design is much easier, because she beats but not as terrible or unnecessary as her anime counterpart. Compared to the anime version, which looks like something that is deducted directly from a dueling card game, Webcomic's take feels more grounded and less over-the-top.

“Sylvia was the living embodiment of the phrase, do not judge a book by its cover.” – Arthur Leywin

On the back, the novel describes Sylvia's design as a high monster over 10 meters high with glowing red eyes and two massive horns, just like her web comic counterpart. Further details include a mouth with two teeth peeking out of her lips and adds her animal shaped shape. Arthur also describes his elegant black armor, glowing as a treasure even without any decorations or embellishments.

Aesthetic differences

Sylvia's anime look is much more dramatic and ominous than her webcomic design. She looks extremely formidable with sharp functions that accentuate her dragon -like head, giving her a more terrible look. Notably, a long, flowing black coat improves her silhouette and adds more dominance to her already enforcing aura. Her draconian traits are emphasized even more in anime, with a thick tail that extends behind her that pronounced her animal nature. Arthur's shocking reaction after seeing Sylvia for the first time is completely understandable, given how monstrous and overwhelming her design is in the adaptation.

On the contrary, in Webcomic, Sylvia's appearance is more toned, looks more grounded and clearly demonic. Because of her body armor, she resembles a tyrant or knight from the afterlife and carries an air of worthy but silent authority. There is a haunting quality to her appearance, almost as if she is a damned existence waiting to be released from a long, sad fate. While Sylvia's anime design radiates an old, overwhelming force, fans sometimes think the web comic design is sweet and delightful, especially when she just sits next to Arthur.

“She reminded me of my mother by being gentle and kind.” – Arthur Leywin

When it comes to Sylvia's Dragon form, Anime Pale compared in comparison to her webcomic version. While Sylvia looks royal and mysterious at Webbomic, her anime shape feels flat and overwhelming, especially when placed next to Arthur. Disappointing, she does not resemble a dragon at all in anime because her design leans more towards a pegasus, a comparison that many fans have pointed out and largely agree with.

Color palette

Despite the aesthetic differences, both the anime and webcomic versions share a similar color palette, dominated by shades of black and gray with a cool, dark tone. The most eye -catching details in both patterns can only be Sylvia's glowing red eyes and mouth, which radiates an evil and other worldly aura, suitable for an old but powerful to lurk in the dark.

Why did Anime Sylvia's design change?

Which one is better?

There is no exact reason for the anime adaptation of Beginning after the end Changed Sylvia's character design. Probably the creators wanted Sylvia to seem more threatening and influencing in its black armor form and choose a design that emphasizes strength and threat rather than keeping faith in its original appearance. To be fair, Sylvia looks ten times tougher in anime than in WebComic. But with the overwhelming animation quality of Beginning after the end So far, Sylvia's new character design has not received the movement or fluent it deserves.

“To let your heart clouded with hatred and revenge will only cause yourself” – Sylvia to Arthur Leywin

When it comes to Sylvia's Black Armor form, most fans anime design thinks much more scary than Webcomic. Her high altitude and draconian properties certainly contribute to a scary factor, which makes her seem even more daunting to little Arthur. But when it comes to Sylvia's Dragon form, the anime design will briefly in comparison with Webcomic. The golden runes, wings and overall majestic form of the web comic version is a disappointment in anime, which makes her dragonform feel flat. Many viewers still remain hopeful that Anime will be able to redeem herself when more episodes are released.
