Directed by Shunsuke Tada under the banner of Production I.G, the anime TV series, titled Die Neue These – Encounter, initially aired in Japan on April 3, 2018. The series’ impact extended beyond the country due to Viz Media’s Haikasoru imprint licensing and releasing the original novel series in English.

However, it was the late director Noboru Ishiguro and Kitty Film Mitaka Studio who first brought the anime series to life. It experienced more than a decade-long journey of adaptation and yielded many installments from 1988 to 2000.
