It was later adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot. The 24 episode series aired on Nippon Television from March 1988 to September 1988. Kenichi Kokuho(国宝ケンイチ Kokuhō Ken'ichi) became lost in the mountains as a small child.

Moeru! Onii-san/Kimagure Orange Road TV special was produced after the Kimagure Orange Road television series ended but before the Moeru! Onii-san television series premiered.
While this episode is more or less a recap episode of the latter half of the Kimagure Orange Road TV series, it does promote and showcase the Moeru! Onii-san TV series which was set to take over its timeslot.
While not a cross-over, it is interesting to listen to Kazuki Yao perform his upcoming voice acting role as Kenichi Kokuhou while interacting with Tooru Furuya, Eriko Hara and Hiromi Tsuru as they perform their respective voice acting roles as Kyousuke Kasuga, Hikaru Hiyama and Madoka Ayukawa.
