Alongside Hong Kong and India, Ani-One is streaming the anime in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The television anime premiered in January 2017. The anime also had an anime film that opened in Japan in February 2019.
Carlo Zen and Shinobu Shinotsuki launched the novel series in 2013. Chika Tōjō's manga adaptation is serializing in Kadokawa's Monthly Comp Ace magazine, and Kadokawa shipped the 20th compiled on December 26.
Yen Press licensed both the original light novel and the manga adaptation, and it describes the series:
High above the blood- and mud-soaked trenches, a young girl pits herself against army mages in high stakes aerial duels with bullets, spells, and bayonets. Her name is Tanya Degurechaff and she is the Devil of the Rhine, one of the greatest soldiers the Empire has ever seen! But inside her mind lives a ruthless, calculating ex-salaryman who enjoyed a peaceful life in Japan until he woke up in a war-torn world. Reborn as a destitute orphaned girl with nothing to her name but memories of a previous life, Tanya will do whatever it takes to survive, even if she can find it only behind the barrel of a gun!
A spinoff gourmet manga titled Yōjo Senki Shokudō by Kyōichi launched in November 2017.
The series also inspired smartphone game that launched on December 10. The game is based on the anime's story, but it has all-new story events.
