The original character design is by redjuice, an illustration designer who has been highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad for the unique atmosphere and unconventional expression of his illustrations, including illustrations by the fictional artist "EGOIST," "Guilty Crown," and the anime films "Empire of the Corpse," "Harmony," and "Slaughterhouse Organ" based on Keisuke Ito's work. The illustrations are created by redjuice. The series is currently airing on MBS/TBS/BS-TBS "Anime-ism" slot.

In January 2018, a tie-up with the Cabinet Cyber Security Center was decided. As part of the project, tie-up posters featuring "BEATLESS" characters for Cyber Security Month (February 1 - March 18) were created and distributed to related organizations nationwide.
