The show uses six different ending themes for each episode. For episodes 1-10, the ending theme is titled Diverge by Mihimaru GT,[8] for episodes 11-17, the ending theme is titled Kaiki Nisshoku (皆既日蝕) by JULEPS,[9] for episodes 18-24, the ending theme is titled Rensoukyoku (恋想曲) by Manami Kurose,[10] for episodes 25-28, the ending theme is titled Ima (今) by ET-KING,[11] for episodes 29-35, the ending theme is titled Give Me Up by Nami Tamaki,[12] for episodes 36-48, the ending theme is titled, Katsunda (勝つんだ!) by Fudanjuku,[13] and the final ending theme is titled Zero kara hajimeru story (ZEROからはじめるストーリー) by Wakaba used until episode 60.

Release

The series premiered on Yomiuri TV, Nippon Television and their affiliates on January 14, 2008 as part of the Anime 7 programming block, airing alongside Case Closed. As a result of the premiere of NTV's Surprise on April 6, 2009, the show moved to an early Sunday morning timeslot which would remain until its conclusion.[14]

In North America, the series streamed on Anime Sols, a service and video distributor mainly backed by the Yomiuri Shimbun Group. However, Anime Sols was closed by May 1, 2015.[15]
