The anime premiered on TBS and 27 affiliated channels in July 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. Crunchyroll also streams an English dub. The anime's fourth episode was delayed by one week and aired in August 2024.

Tatsuya Yoshihara (action director for Chainsaw Man) directed the first season at Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures. Sayaka Ono (CROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon) designed the characters and served as chief animation director. Raita Sunaga, Yoshirou Harada, and Ryou Akizuki were in charge of monster design. Hiroto Morishita was the sound director at Jinnan Studio. Yuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia) composed the music at Lantis.

Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga in English, and released the ninth volume on May 27. The company describes the story:

A new, magical dungeon-adventure fantasy series from the author of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?! To fulfill the promise he made to his childhood friend, Will Serfort enters Regarden Magic Academy with the goal of making it to the top of the magical world. There's just one problem—he doesn't know how to use magic! Will the seemingly ordinary sword in his hand be the key to unlock his true potential?

Ōmori (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) and Aoi launched the manga in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in December 2020. Kodansha will publish the manga's 13th compiled book volume on Wednesday. The manga's "Terminalia Arc" and first part ended in May 2023 and got an epilogue chapter that June.
