The second season was adapted as a split-cour, with the second cour airing on between January 6th, 2021 and March 24th, 2021.
Before the Season 2 premiere, a Director's Cut version of Season 1 with hour-long episodes started airing weekly from January 1, 2020. Each episode roughly combines two episodes from Season 1 into one with some updates to their animation and added content that was not on the initial airing. The Memory Snow OVA was added in the Director's Cut as episode 11.5. On May 27, 2020, the new Director's Cut, along with Season 1 and the Memory Snow OVA, became available on Blu-ray and DVD.

The series is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, Apple TV, Prime Video, and Google TV.
