Power Stone aired on TBS in Japan from April 3 to September 25, 1999 for 26 episodes.[3] It was later licensed and dubbed in English by ADV Films in North America[4] and was partly broadcast on the Canadian YTV channel in 2003. The show previously aired in Singapore through Kids Central.[5] It was broadcast in Brazil by Globo; however, its age rating being reclassified there over concerns about violent content and the character of Kikunojo (Ayame's cross-dressing brother, an original character to the series) led to the series being hastily edited, with episode 12 being skipped.[6]
TBS licenses the show for overseas airing/broadcast or retail.[7]
