On July 1, 2026, the production team released the second main PV for the second season of the anime "Youjo Senki II" (The Saga of Tanya the Evil II). The trailer focuses on the two high-ranking officers of the Empire, Major General Hans von Zettour and General Kurt von Rudersdorf, and offers a first glimpse of the threatening military situation that protagonist Tanya Degurechaff is about to plunge into. At the same time, a new character named Kalandro is introduced, voiced by experienced voice actor Eiji Hanawa.
For the first time, the full songs of the theme melodies can also be heard in the video: The opening "Why? RED induction" comes from the band MYTH & ROID, as in the first season and the film. The ending "Weiter! Weiter!" is sung by Tanya's voice actress Aoi Yuki and produced by Masayuki Nakano (BOOM BOOM SATELLITES / THE SPELLBOUND). Nakano comments: "I composed the piece with the mercilessness of the battlefield and the tiny, still existing hope of humanity in mind. In a world dominated by powerlessness and uncertainty, I hope the music draws viewers deeply into the world of 'Youjo Senki'."
Both songs will be digitally released on all major music platforms on July 15, 2026, at 24:00 (JST). At the same time, the cover art for the ending was revealed.
The second season starts on July 8, 2026, on Japanese television. It will air on AT-X (9:30 PM), TOKYO MX (11:30 PM), BS11, and other channels. Already on July 1, the "Youjo Senki Film" and the short special episode "Desert Noodle Great Operation" were shown for the first time on free TV. As a lead-in to the new season, AT-X will broadcast a special analysis program titled "Why We Are Captivated by the Cold Little Maid" on July 11; one day later, on July 12, it will be made available for free on the KADOKAWA Anime Channel on YouTube. Complementing the main series, the mini-anime series "Youjo Shenki 2" will air after the main episodes on AT-X and YouTube.
The production is once again handled by Studio NUT. The director is Takayuki Yamamoto, and the series composition is by Kenta Ihara. Alongside Aoi Yuki as Tanya, returning cast members include Saori Hayami as Visha, Shinichiro Miki as Lergen, Tessho Genda as Rudersdorf, and Hochu Otsuka as Zettour. The cast is further supplemented by voice actors such as Tomokazu Sugita (Mikel) and Yoko Hikasa (Liliya).
