The new anime DVD is the second anime DVD announced for the franchise ; the first is shipping later in December with the 13th volume, after being delayed from its original release with the 11th volume on March 29.

Crunchyroll streamed the series, and FUNimation Entertainment is streaming an English dub . The anime's 23rd episode aired on March 11 as final episode for the main story. The show then aired two more episodes over the following two weeks. The 24th episode is titled "Kuro to Kamen" (Black and Mask), and aired on March 18. The episode is an anime original story showing an encounter between Shizu and Diablo. The extra 25th episode is titled "Veldora Nikki" (Veldora's Diary), and aired on March 25.
