Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 4 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Saga of Tanya the Evil watch order covers both 12-episode seasons, the 2019 movie and the Operation Desert Pasta short in the correct chronological order. Start with the original 2017 series, which follows Tanya Degurechaff through her first campaigns with the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion. The movie is not a recap. It is a full sequel that picks up after episode 12, and Season 2 continues from where the film ends rather than from the TV finale, so skipping it leaves a real gap in the story. Operation Desert Pasta is a 17-minute comedy side story released in 2021 that takes place before the events of the movie, which is where it sits here, but nothing in it is required to follow Season 2, so treat it as optional. The chibi Youjo Shenki promo shorts are left out because they are gag content rather than part of the story. If you are unsure where to start or whether to watch the movie before Season 2, follow the sequence below.

2. Saga of Tanya the Evil: Operation Desert Pasta (ONA) — optional
