Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 finally returning is a long-awaited moment because the first season aired back in 2017, so fans have been waiting nearly a decade for Tanya's story to continue, making this premiere a huge event. MYTH & ROID returning for the opening theme also keeps the iconic sound since they've been instrumental in defining the Tanya audio identity since Season 1, and their return for "Why? RED induction" preserves that signature sonic style. Aoi Yuki performing the ending theme is a fantastic creative choice too because letting the voice of Tanya step into musical duty with "Weiter! Weiter!" gives fans a deeper connection between the character and the show's music. And Crunchyroll handling the worldwide stream keeps the international audience locked in because day-and-date streaming for a long-awaited sequel means global fans can experience it alongside Japanese viewers.

The official website for the Saga of Tanya the Evil anime today unveiled a new key visual and announced that Season 2 will begin airing in Japan on July 8 at 21:30 JST. Crunchyroll confirmed earlier this week that it will stream the series' continuation when it airs. Furthermore, series regular MYTH & ROID will return to perform "Why? RED induction" for Season 2's opening theme song, while Aoi Yuki (voice of Tanya) will perform "Weiter! Weiter!" for the ending theme song. The "Yojo Shenki" mini-anime will also return, with new episodes airing directly after episodes of Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2.

The Story

After a soulless modern-day salaryman is killed and reincarnated as Tanya Degurechaff, a young orphan girl in a war-torn world resembling early 20th-century Europe, she finds herself drafted into a brutal military conflict by the very being who placed her there. Armed with ruthless cunning, sharp tactical thinking, and powerful magic, the diminutive soldier rises swiftly through the ranks of the Imperial Army, doing whatever it takes to secure a comfortable position far from the front lines — even if it means becoming one of the most feared figures in the war.

Premiere Information
