Viz is the representative for the anime’s worldwide streaming, television broadcast, electronic sell-through (EST), home video, and merchandising outside of Japan. Hero’s Inc. will manage EST, home video, and merchandising in Japan. Adult Swim will air the anime, and Viz will reveal additional streaming partners at a later date.

Viz describes the story:
Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he’s humanity’s greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!
Viz licensed the manga. The company published the fifth volume in English in December.
Sakuratani debuted the manga on the Comiplex manga website in December 2020. Hero’s published the manga’s seventh compiled book volume on January 29.
Update: Video added.
