More information about the release format, the release date and a planned edition with "fan-favorite sturdy premium packaging" will be announced on the company's website.

Shinji Takamatsu (Gintama, School Rumble) is directing the anime at Sunrise, Ai Yoshimura (episode director on Gintama, Oreimo) is serving as assistant director, and Yoshinori Yumoto (Battle Spirits: Brave, Strait Jacket) is designing the characters and overseeing the animation.
