The series started broadcast on Japan's Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting (CBC) station in April 2009; other networks broadcast the episodes within a few days, including TBS, MBS, and Animax. Its first season made its North American television debut on the FUNimation Channel on November 16, 2010.
The series' second season, Sengoku Basara II, began broadcast in July 2010, replacing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The film version, Sengoku Basara: The Last Party, was released on June 4, 2011. The opening song is "FLAGS" by T.M. Revolution and the ending song is "The party must go on" by T.M. Revolution. It depicts the Battle of Sekigahara, which determines the next Shogun of Japan.
