Saga of Tanya the Evil first made its TV anime debut all the way back in 2017, and even got a feature film release a couple of years later, but it’s been dormant ever since. It’s been such a long wait for this Isekai to make a comeback that fans are likely going to be surprised to get thrown right back into the thick of all action. As a way to get ready, you can check out the trailer for Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 below ahead of its premiere coming in the next week.

It’s been nine long years since the first season of the TV series first aired, so you’re going to need to be absolutely sure to catch up with everything that happened in the first season before jumping into this new wave of episodes.

It’s likely not going to spend much time getting fans caught back up to speed, but Saga of Tanya the Evil will thankfully have a lot of the same team behind the first season.

Kenta Ihara will be returning from the first season to write the new scripts, and Yuji Hosogoe will be returning as character designer and chief animation director.
