When a writer tells a story, it usually involves some sort of significant change in the universe of the story, some kind of conflict which finds a resolution. After all, if there's no conflict, there's no story! We like reading about evil emperors getting overthrown and seeing their 100-year reign of oppression come to an end; reading about a peaceful nation with a peaceful king and citizens who are smart enough never to get into any trouble would be just as fun as watching paint dry.
But the story has to end somewhere, usually soon after the big climax and resolution. Thus, we are left to imagine how the world and its characters will live on after the story is over. The end of the story is the beginning of a new era.
For some reason, writers just love to point out this fact wherever possible. Expect a lot of them to mention "the beginning" with some sort of heavy significance.
Oh, and to make it even better—by the same token—sometimes the beginning of the story is referred to as "the end". It can get quite confusing.
See also: My Death Is Just the Beginning and It Has Only Just Begun. If the story undergoes this kind of shakeup and doesn't end there, it's Nothing Is the Same Anymore. Bears only a passing relation to the B-Movie Beginning of the End. When it really is the end, see The End.

Star Trek: Enterprise ends with a Distant Finale in which the Enterprise is decommissioned. But the point is made that Archer and his brave crews exploits laid the foundations for the Starfleet (and later ships called Enterprise) to "boldly go where no man has gone before..."

Alien Nine's final anime episode was literally titled this trope, and it makes sense considering that, despite the series coming to a close, it reveals little pieces of what could be a possible intergalactic conspiracy.

The pilot of Red Dwarf said "The End" at the beginning of the episode and "The Beginning" at the end of the episode. This is because it's the end of everyone on Red Dwarf (except for Sole Survivor Lister) that causes the setup for the rest of the series.

The final book in the Animorphs series was titled "The Beginning." The story concerns the end of the Yeerk war on Earth, and the beginning of a new war against an unknown enemy. Depending on how the reader interprets Jake's final order, the series could end on a cliffhanger, a Bolivian Army Ending, or the start of a new and exciting journey.

Subverted in The Reconstruction. By the end of the story, the world is almost completely annihilated and has to be rebuilt practically from scratch — it is definitely the beginning of a new era. However, it's never actually said anywhere that it's a new beginning — even the phrase "reconstruction" is never mentioned.

The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer doesn't truly begin until Hangetsu Shinonome is killed by the third Golem. Since he was a major reason why the protagonists began to improve their fighting skills and became someone that they were glad to call an ally, his death was considered to be the equivalent of the curtains falling on the prologue of their story.

The final season opener of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is called "The Beginning of the End". Note that this is a Double-Meaning Title; not only does it mark the beginning of the end of the era of the Royal Sisters, before Twilight becomes their successor at the end of the series, it's the beginning of the end of the show all together. It does it again in the first part of its Grand Finale, which is titled "The Ending of the End".

In Doctor Who, starting with the Third Doctor's final serial "Planet of the Spiders" most outgoing Doctors get a Grand Finale storyline. They usually face a threat greater than any they've previously come up against, often end up making a Heroic Sacrifice, and always have a denouement that treats their "death" and regeneration into their next incarnation as this trope. The revival series gives them a Final Speech as well and takes the trouble to tie up some loose ends of their Myth Arc. (The exceptions are Six, Seven, Eight, and War: Six and Seven meet their demises at the start of stories that are really about the new guys, Eight's regeneration is depicted in a short prologue to "The Day of the Doctor" and reveals it to have been under far more bitter circumstances than usual, and the special case of the War Doctor means his regeneration is only briefly seen as just one part of "Day"'s much larger story.)

The final chapter of the third book in the The Han Solo Trilogy features Han sitting in a cantina on some backwater planet and worrying about their financial debt to a crime lord. Chewie walks over to his table and tells him that he may have found the solution to their problems in an old man and a kid who need passage to Alderaan. Where most books say "The End," it says "The Beginning."

Chapter 5 of Himenospia is named "End" and features a squad of policemen exterminating a school's student body to get at the misguided wasp-mutant protagonist, who is then driven to take over her town with brainwashing powers to survive. Chapter 35 in turn is named "Beginning" and starts to reveal that Himeno had been manipulated by her former bully and right-hand Nagisa, who was a fellow Queen the whole time.

This trope is invoked in Macross: Do You Remember Love?. At the end of the film, Britai and Exsedol are discussing the fact that they won out over two massive Zentradi and Meltrandi fleets, but that there are still 1,000 fleets of Boddol Zer and Lap Lamiz's type roaming the galaxy. Britai calmly states that with them and the humans in possession of culture, things will turn out all right.

At the end of Chapter 8 of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Scrooge was busy shooing off intruders of White Agony Creek, when his arm suddenly gives way from the weight of a big rock he is lifting.

"This isn't the end. Another dream is waiting to begin."
Which interestingly, it's similar to the quote Firion says at the end of Final Fantasy II

The Gears of War Trilogy has invoked this, They defeated the Locust and the Equally as destructive Lambent Locust. However it's made clear that they are still far off from a happy ending. But for now they have earned their "Tomorrow".

In the Star Trek: Voyager Parody Fic "The Killer Dame", the EMH disguises himself as Winston Churchill while in a WW2 holodeck program, and this quote becomes an Overly-Long Gag.
