A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Season 2 has begun airing, continuing Desir Herrman’s attempt to change the future after being sent 13 years into the past. The fantasy anime returned on October 7, 2026, with new episodes scheduled to arrive weekly throughout the Fall 2026 season.
Crunchyroll is streaming the second season in most international territories and has confirmed that the English dub will be released on the same day as the Japanese version. This makes the series easier to follow for viewers who prefer the English-language version without having to wait for a later weekly release.
The anime follows Desir, one of the final survivors of a catastrophic battle against the Shadow World. After humanity’s defeat, he is unexpectedly sent back 13 years, returning to a time when he and his companions are still students. Armed with knowledge of the future, Desir sets out to prevent the disaster before it happens again.
