Not much is known about its original release. In 1996, PSG sold the OVAs as retail under the title Yoiko no Anime-kan through 6 home-video releases. Some episodes were duplicated across their release and the episodes were out of order. PSG then released the series on DVD with the original name, this time without duplicates.
