The first season of Crunchyroll’s Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia will wrap up on September 12, 2026. Fans can expect the dubbed version two weeks later.

Crunchyroll has officially announced that the first season of its anime, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, will conclude on September 12, 2026. This announcement was reported by ComicBook.com, which highlights the excitement surrounding the series as the summer anime season comes to a close.
Produced by Science SARU, the popular series debuted on July 4, 2026, and is set for a total of 12 episodes. For those who prefer dubbed versions, the final episode will be accessible on September 26, 2026, following Crunchyroll’s typical two-week delay for dubbed content. This timing is significant as it allows fans to engage with the series before the upcoming fall anime season kicks off.
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is based on a manga written and illustrated by Tomato Soup. The anime has garnered attention for its stunning visuals and complex storytelling, drawing comparisons to other successful projects from Science SARU, including those associated with the studio behind Dandadan. This historical narrative is set against the backdrop of the 13th-century Mongol Empire, and it follows the journey of Sitara, a young girl navigating themes of war and slavery.
The series has been recognized as one of the top anime of the year, contributing to a dynamic summer line-up that also includes notable titles like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 and Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2.
With the first season nearly complete, discussions are already turning towards the potential for a sequel, particularly since the source manga remains ongoing. While direct confirmation has not yet been announced, its reception suggests a strong likelihood that Sitara’s story will continue in subsequent seasons. As the anime lays the groundwork for deeper themes, the media buzz around its future prospects indicates that many fans are eagerly anticipating more episodes.
The narrative of Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is noted for its nuanced treatment of dark themes such as war and the struggles of its characters. Sitara’s character arc evolves significantly as she transforms from a victim to a figure of empowerment, known as the Witch of Mongolia due to her intellectual prowess in medicine and geometry. This journey resonates with viewers, creating a compelling experience that enriches the overall narrative.
Although Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is concluding its first season, the anime community is likely to remain engaged with its developments. The possibility of a sequel hinges on audience reception and the release of future content. As new anime titles prepare to debut in the fall, the fate and continuation of Sitara’s adventures will certainly be a focal point for fans.
