Anime fans have been eagerly waiting for updates on Saga of Tanya the Evil season 2, and now, thanks to an honest mistake by animator Dong Chang, we have a bit of exciting news. Chang, a Canadian-born animator at Studio NUT, accidentally revealed in a recent YouTube video that the much-anticipated season 2 of the isekai series is set to be released in 2026.
Chang runs a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing how anime is made, with over 160,000 followers. His channel offers fascinating insights into anime production, but his latest video, “How Anime is Made,” took an unexpected turn. While discussing the planning stages of anime production, Chang casually mentioned a documentary on Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2, slated for release in 2026. Fans are now buzzing with speculation over this accidental leak.
Dong Chang’s Honest Mistake Reveals Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 Plans
In the video, Dong Chang was talking about his work and the production process of anime when he accidentally revealed the upcoming season 2 of Saga of Tanya the Evil. The series, known for its unique isekai premise, has been highly anticipated by fans ever since its first season aired in 2017. The second season was officially announced in 2021, but up until now, no official release date or detailed production news had surfaced.
Fans of the show have been waiting years for a follow-up to season 1 and the 2019 movie. The isekai series, based on Carlo Zen’s light novel series, has a distinctive twist on the genre. The story follows Tanya, a ruthless and highly efficient soldier reincarnated in a young girl’s body in a war-torn world, after defying a divine being in her previous life. This unique take on the genre has earned the series a strong fanbase.
Its premise makes Saga of Tanya the Evil stand out from other isekai series. Tanya, after being reincarnated by a God-like being in a different world, is cursed to suffer for eternity in hell if she dies of unnatural causes. To avoid this fate, Tanya becomes a cold, strategic, and dangerous soldier, in a world where magic and technology clash.
While Dong Chang’s slip-up has caused a stir in the anime community, it’s unclear if Studio NUT will address the accidental leak. Fans are now waiting for an official statement on the production and release of season 2. Despite the unintended reveal, Chang’s videos continue to provide valuable behind-the-scenes insight into anime creation, and viewers hope this mistake won’t affect his future uploads.
