Originally premiering on January 6 in Japan on channels AT-X, Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS11, with simultaneous streaming on platforms such as ABEMA, U-NEXT, and Anime Hodai, the Japanese-language version of Tales of Wedding Rings received widespread acclaim. With a standard two-week gap between the Japanese and English versions, Crunchyroll stays true to its typical dubbed production schedule.

The English dub cast for Tales of Wedding Rings has also been revealed, featuring Corey Wilder as Satou, Ezra Vervin as Hime, Max Hartman as Alabaster, and Jeff Plunk as Marse.
