This was Funimation's first boyslove/yaoi release. In 2017, Funimation released the anime series with both OVAs on DVD with English subtitles under the title 'Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi'.

This does not include the two OVAs or the film. The series has been available since 2011. The 24 episodes of the anime series were available on Crunchyroll with English subtitles under the title 'Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi - World's Greatest First Love'. It was released on DVD on August 29th, 2014. The film The Case of Takafumi Yokozawa was released in theaters on March 15th, 2014. The full anime series including both OVAs was re-released on Blu-Ray in a box set on January 31st, 2014, just a few months before the release of the film. It was later made available on six DVDs, with the first released on December 22nd, 2011, and the sixth released on May 25th, 2012. Season 2 aired on television in Japan from October 7th, 2011 to December 23rd, 2011.

Season 1 aired on television in Japan from April 9th, 2011 to June 24th, 2011.

The first installment of the anime series was the OVA No love's like to the first, which was released as a DVD bundled with the limited edition of the fifth manga volume on March 22nd, 2011. This also happens in several scenes between Ritsu Onodera and Masamune Takano, in which the anime replaces some sexual fondling with kissing. This is most notable with regards to Chiaki Yoshino's original rape scene which instead fades out after Yoshiyuki Hatori kisses him, suggesting that nothing else happened. While it still includes some brief sex scenes, it sometimes fades to black before it gets too graphic or replaces sexual scenes with mere kisses. The anime is mostly a faithful adaptation of the original series', although it is sexually toned down.

An episode in the second season also adapts a Junjou Romantica storyline Junjou Mistake. The light novel series The Case of TakafumiYokozawa was later adapted into a film. It focuses predominantly on the manga storyline The Case of Ritsu Onodera, as well as The Case of Shouta Kisa and The Case of Chiaki Yoshino. The anime series adapts both the manga series and the light novel series.
