    An anime adaptation, directed by Itsuki Imazaki, was originally teased as an April Fools' Day joke, but Imazaki later confirmed that production had begun and he was working on storyboards for the series. It was later revealed that the anime, a television series, would be animated by animation studio Seven and produced by Dream Creation. Imazaki was also confirmed to be writing, producing, and creating character designs for the series.[9] Masakatsu Oomuro serves as the show's sound director, and Fūga Hatori produces the music. Sound production for the series is provided by DAX Production. The anime adapted material both from the original manga and the sequel.

    The anime is the third installment in the "Choborau Nyopomi Theater", after the Ai Mai Mi and Choboraunyopomi Gekijō Dainimaku Ai Mai Mi: Mōsō Catastrophe television series, both of which were also directed by Imazaki.

    The series began airing on 7 October 2015 on AT-X, TV Saitama, KBS, TVK, and Sun TV.[10] It is streamed worldwide by Crunchyroll.[11]
