The original television anime series first premiered in April 2007 with a total of 27 episodes. This was followed by two movies titled Childhood's End and The Lights in the Sky Are Stars, released in September 2008 and April 2009 respectively. Additionally, the franchise has produced two original video animations (OVAs) known as Parallel Works, along with various manga adaptations, spinoffs, and three stage plays.
Regarded as a quintessential anime choice, the series is often recommended by fans as an excellent starting point for those new to the genre. Some even consider it to be a microcosm of what makes anime great, particularly within the battle shonen subcategory. Despite primarily focusing on battles, the series also incorporates unique elements from other genres throughout its 27-episode span.
