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 in certain countries. This could be obtained by sending an envelope containing a token (which had 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, on both DVD and Blu-ray. The second and third seasons followed later. Complete season box sets were also released.

In some countries such as Eruowood, it was also released on TechEruo System. The TES releases are accompanied with simple mini-games such as slide puzzles, as most 1happycats/SVC releases on the format do.

The Kusakabes: Halloween Hijinks
This game was based on the film of the same here.

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.
