Incense of Spring Sleep special anime launched in September 2008. The series inspired a live-action television special in December 2011.
Viz Media released the anime on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray Disc. The company also published the manga.
Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura manga recently inspired a new television anime that premiered in the Noitamina programming block on Fuji TV in October 2022. The show's second half started on January 11. The show's fourth and final cours debuted on April 11.
