A Tale of the Secret Saint anime reveals 2026 release window with a new trailer

As mentioned earlier, A Tale of the Secret Saint anime will be released sometime in 2026. In the opening moments of the trailer, we could see the main character lying down on the floor, injured. There was a pool of blood, indicating that she was in her final moments. Based on what was shown in the A Tale of the Secret Saint anime trailer, it seemed like a dragon managed to defeat her.

Fia Ruud, the protagonist, recollected important moments in her life. It then became clear that she had reincarnated and took on a similar form. The flute-heavy soundtrack was perfect for the medieval fantasy setting. The trailer then focuses on Ruud’s backstory. We get a glimpse into her past life and how she was betrayed by her own brothers.
