Character designs were crafted by Hitomi Tsuruta and Koji Yabuno, while Norihito Sumitomo composed the music. The series had an early screening at Anime Expo on July 3, 2023, before its official broadcast ran from September 30, 2023, to March 23, 2024, across all NNS networks including ytv and Nippon TV. The opening theme track is "Anthropos" performed by Kanjani Eight, accompanied by ending themes "Perfect World" by LMYK and "Mission" by Mika Nakashima.
To support the Autumn Fire Prevention Campaign, voice actors Junya Enoki, Taku Yashiro, and Ayane Sakura took on the role of rescue captains for a day at the Tokyo Fire Department's Musashino fire station on November 9, 2023, engaging in rescue drills. J Rescue Magazine spotlighted the anime character Yuki Nakamura on its November 2023 cover—the first time an anime character appeared since the magazine's inception in 2001—and featured an interview with Ayane Sakura alongside a firefighting terminology glossary.
The series was streamed worldwide outside Asia via Crunchyroll, while Medialink secured licensing rights for Southeast Asia and distributed it through its Ani-One Asia YouTube channel.
