A weekly anime series based on ''Souten no Ken'' aired on Japan's [[wikipedia:TV Asahi|TV Asahi]] on Thursdays at 2:40am from October 4, 2006 to March 14, 2007. The series has a total of 26 episodes, but only 22 episodes were actually aired on TV. The series was intended to be a full-fledge adaptation of the manga, but truncates the story at the end of Vol. 8. It is believed that the series' low ratings (an average of 1.2) led to the show's cancellation.<ref name=ratings>{{cite web|url=http://hashihime.blogspot.com/2007/03/current-anime-tv-ratings-in-japan.html|title=hashihime 橋姫: Current Anime TV Ratings in Japan|accessdate=2007-08-04}}</ref> The complete series has been released on DVD, including unaired episodes and uncensored content.
