An anime series adaptation produced by David Production was announced in November 2018.[1] The series is directed by Yuki Yase, with Yamato Haijima handling the series' scripts, Hideyuki Morioka designing the characters and Kenichiro Suehiro composing the music.[2] The first season aired from July 6 to December 28, 2019 on Japan News Network stations MBS and TBS as part of the Super Animeism programming block and ran for 24 episodes.[3][4][5][6] Crunchyroll has licensed the series.[7] Due to the Kyoto Animation arson attack on July 19, 2019, the third episode, which was originally scheduled to air on July 20, 2019, was postponed and aired a week later on July 27, 2019.[8][9] In July 2019, it was announced that the series would premiere on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on July 28, 2019.[10]

A second season aired in Japan from July 4 to December 12, 2020.[5] A third season was announced in May 2022.[11]
