{{Main|List of Magic Knight Rayearth episodes}}

The anime series aired first on [[Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|Yomiuri Television]] and other [[Nippon Television Network System|NNS]] stations in Japan on October 17, 1994, and ended on November 27, 1995. It was directed by [[Toshihiro Hirano]] and co-produced by YTV and [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]] (now TMS Entertainment). The anime had 2 seasons, lasting 49 episodes altogether.

The TV series was licensed in the U.S. twice, first by [[The Ocean Group]], which was supposed to air on [[Fox Kids]] in a test pilot run in the 1990s, and second by [[Media Blasters]] and was dubbed by [[Bang Zoom! Entertainment]] from 1999 to 2000.

The anime series was also aired on the [[Philippines|Philippine]] television network [[ABS-CBN]] in 1996, dubbed in [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] and airing every Sunday at 9:00 am for the first season and 10:30 am for the second season in 1997. It was popular with Filipino female children and became one of the Philippines' highest-rated anime series of the 20th century, helping to revitalize Filipino interest in anime. It was later aired on [[GMA Network]] on November 26, 2001, but on a weekday basis and with a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] dub produced by Telesuccess Productions.

It was released on both VHS and DVD.
