Observer noted the prominence of streaming services in pushing the popularity of television shows in today's media environment, and noted that Americans have "a varied and eclectic taste."

Funimation, Hulu, and Crunchyroll streamed the season as it aired in Japan. The show premiered on Toonami last November. The anime will have a fifth season.
