Production
The series was produced by Genco and the animation production at OLM and SKY Perfect Well Think. Rodda was originally approached with many film offers, but it was only this studio that promised to not change the story. The first episode was aired on January 6, 2007 in Japan.
The English version of the series was produced by Dentsu in association with Ocean Productions in Vancouver, British Columbia and recorded at their Calgary-based Blue Water Studios. All music was composed and produced by John Mitchell and Tom Keenlyside at Anitunes Music Inc. A
It was directed by Mitsuru HongÅ (Spirit of Wonder, Outlaw Star), designed by Hiroyuki Nishimura and Junya Ishigaki, and written by Oketani Arawa, Reiko Yoshida and Natsuko Takahashi. The music was composed by Kow Otani, but was replaced with an original soundtrack in the English version.
Due to the series popularity in Japan, it was extended to 65 episodes from the original 52, containing stories not in the original novels. The English dub restores the ending of the original novels, and ignores the 13 added episodes in the anime.
Although the series employs mostly traditional animation it uses CGI for the Guardians.

“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
