The production committee launched a crowdfunding campaign for the third season in October 2020, which exceeded its goal of 20 million yen (approximately US$190,000) within 33 hours. The third season was subsequently green-lit for a 2022 premiere. The campaign ended in December that year with over 36 million yen (approximately US$295,000), backed by 2,880 patrons.

The first season premiered in 11 episodes in Summer 2018, with a 12th episode debuting in October that year. The second season streamed exclusively on Amazon's Prime Video platform in April 2020. Crunchyroll also simulcast the season worldwide excluding Asia.

Jashin-chan Dropkick adapts Yukiwo's supernatural comedy manga, which began on the Comic Meteor online magazine in April 2012. Flex Comix published the 18th volume on December 10 last year.
