The television series was animated by the studio J.C.Staff and produced by GENCO and broadcast in 2004. The anime was originally licensed by Geneon USA. It is now licensed by Sentai Filmworks.
The manga version was drawn by manga artist and character designer Satoshi Shiki titled "I - Daphne in the Brilliant Blue" (アイ〜光と水のダフネ〜 Ai ~Hikari to Mizu no Dafune~?), featured in Young King OURs magazine. The manga story is a prequel to the television series.
In the future, water has covered much of the Earth due to the effects of global warming, leaving the human race to live on neighboring floating cities. The orphaned Maia Mizuki, fifteen years of age, just graduated from middle school and has already applied for employment in the elite Ocean Agency, part of the futuristic world government. Only the best, most intelligent, and physically fit students are eligible for admission. Maia, the series' protagonist, is set to become one of the few.
