The franchise launched the 50-episode Battle Spirits: Shōnen Toppa Bashin anime series in September 2008. A new television anime series aired almost every year afterwards until 2016-2017’s Battle Spirits Double Drive.
A three-episode net anime series titled Battle Spirits: Saga Brave then premiered in June 2019. Battle Spirits: Kakumei no Galett launched in August 2020. Battle Spirits: Mirage, the most recent anime in the franchise, premiered online in October 2021.
