Home media
Prior to the show's premiere in August 2017, a promotional DVD containing the first three episodes was released in June of that year. This could be obtained by sending an envelope containing a token (which has been included in an advertisement featured in various magazines at the time) and a 50¢ coin to Satsuki Film Company.

In March 2018, the first season was released in four volumes by the then-new Satsuki Video Company. The second and third season followed later. Complete season box sets were also released.

Production
Rumor has it that during the production of Pokémon Strange Journeys: Mystery of the Missing Kid, a crossover with My Neighbor Totoro, 1happycats Productions and Satsuki Film Company gained interest in the characters from that film, which led them to create this show.
